Zombie Hello Kitty

You read right: Zombie Hello Kitty.  I love this collection, it's silly and perfect for halloween.

You can find this collection at Hot Topic.  I couldn't find a water bottle I bought there, but trust me it is cute and slightly creepy with the HK zombies  If you're a HK Collector these items are a must!

Pumpkin Kisses

  There's nothing that quite gives fall, that Autumy feel than pumpkins.  I love their bright golden color, but what I love most is having pumpkin flavored food during Fall.  So tasty!

A few weeks ago, I went on a field trip with my nephew.  The trip consisted of a hay ride and pumpkin picking.  It was a glorious day filled with children and farmy smells.

 

Is this not the cutest photo?

Won: Blog Giveaway

I'm one of the unlucky few that hardly wins anything, so I was pretty excited to win Whitney's blog giveaway.  My favorite item is the Sinful Colors nail polish.  I've seen the brand at a few stores but haven't had a chance to try it out. 

Thank you, Whitney!  If you haven't check out Whitney's blog, she does plenty of beauty reviews and sweepstakes.  I have gotten tons of samples or coupons from following her blog. 

Anthro Necklace Knockoff

Ever since I saw Flamingo Toes' Anthro necklace knockoff tutorial, I knew I had to make it myself!  I have been on the search for a fluffy flower necklace but didn't want to dish out more than $10 bucks!  I know, I'm a cheapo.  

 

I was able to create the entire necklace from an old sheer shirt that had been previously damage with blue paint.  Yay, for re-using and recycling!

The entire project cost me $7 because I bought a huge quantity of beads.  I chose blue beads but they weren't too visible through the sheer material. 

I'm pleased with the outcome of the necklace, but there are a few things that I would change.  Since I used strips from an old shirt, I had to end up sewing together small strips to make one long strip.  Not a huge deal, but it made ugly seams that I had to cover up with the fabric flowers.  Which lead me with hardly any control of where I actually wanted the flowers.  Overall, I am pretty happy because I was able to use my damage shirt to create a necklace!

However, in the future, I may just invest in sheer fabric and create the necklace in that manner.

OPI: Go Goth! nail polish set

I have been converted into a huge OPI mini collection fan.  I love that I can try out a handful of the  new or special edition colors for less than the cost of 2 polishes!  As soon as I saw the this Halloween set, I knew I had to try out Sanguine as soon as possible!  

Lucky for me, this cute set came with a lacy wrist cuff, it's cute but rather random!  The color selection is dark (would expect anything else, from a collection with the word goth?)  In this little collection there is a matte black, dark burgundy, sparkly purple and a black with blue glitter.  

 

I really enjoy this set of from OPI because it has a good variety, but also some unique colors.  I don't own a billion OPI colors, but judging from the other mini collections this one offers more range.  I've noticed OPI always includes a red-red nail polish and it always looks so generic and boring.  This set includes a red but it's dark and unique.  I don't own anything like it (I think Sally Hansen just release a polish like this!).  I also love that it doesn't include a top coat polish.  Gosh, I hate that in mini collections.  This collection offers 4 colors for about $12 dollars.  Not bad. 

I slapped this polish on fast, please ignore mistakes!

Sanguine is a dark, burnt burgundy with shimmery red speckles.  It seems dark from a distance but bright bloody red when near.  I <3 this polish! I wish they had the full size!

Nevermore is more generic.  If you own OPI Ink, this is similar.  I wouldn't jump out of my seat to buy this polish, but it's still a good color if you don't own anything like it.

Unripened was by far the worst color to capture on camera.  It's black with blue sparkly bits.  I enjoy it because it looks black from a distance, but surprise - it's not!  It's a good color for fall. 

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to try Obscurity out, but I'm not into mattes!  You can see a sample of this polish on my first image.  

Overall, I'm quite content with this Halloween release.  I like the range in colors and the fact that they included 4 polishes in this mini set.  Typically, they include 3 polishes and 1 top coat, which in my opinion sucks!  Also, I'm not sure why they thought a wrist cuff was a good idea for the collection.   I'm not a marketing genius, but I don't think OPI's consumers were begging for the wrist cuff!  How about you charge us less for the mini collection next time?  That would make us all happy :)
