9. Mary Jane (Honey Candies)/Bit-O-Honey?!? Bleck!!!

Yeah, as I said some of those candies really aren't that tasty, but they win out for nostalgia and perseverance!

Oh, and if y'all have any ideas of something you'd like to see, let me know!

A Countdown to Halloween

Starting this Friday, I will be doing a countdown to Halloween on my blog. Check back every evening for a new countdown, retrospective or Halloween musing.

Re: All about face paint please comment

Wow, that's strange. I remember as a kid still being able to smell my mom's hairspray even a few hours after it had dried. Maybe this stuff is a little different. I'll take a look. *Shrug* Nearest I can figure is that there are less chemicals. Just aerosol and pigment, where as hairspray has a <del...

Re: All about face paint please comment

The hairspray option sounds the easiest seeing how I have to have paint from my upper chest to my forehead, but I'd rather not be inhaling hairspray fumes all night. I'll look into the first option. Once it dries, it is essentially fumeless. Our Wicked Witch has worn it for up to 10 hours without a...

Re: All about face paint please comment

I know that most of MAC Cosmetics' products are hypoallergenic and water-based. The colored hairspray should also be less likely to upset your allergies so long as you're not allergic to standard aerosol hairspray. I'd suggest trying a small patch of each on your inner elbow or the back of your hand...

Re: Cheap costumes

When going cheap, the old Halloween staples are the way to go: Ghost, Scarecrow, Witch, Vampire, etc. They can be compiled from clothes (or, for the ghost, sheets) found around the house or Goodwill. They can also be purchased cheaply at almost any Halloween/department store. Additionally, you can c...

Re: All about face paint please comment

For the most part, I steer clear of face paint. There are three options I recommend for large-area makeup. 1. Greasepaint - One of the oldest methods. This is your standard "old school" theatre makeup. It comes in virtually every color imaginable. It goes on with a makeup sponge and tends ...

Re: Heads up... It's starting.

Dollar Tree is beginning to stock Halloween here in Indiana as well. JoAnn's and Hobby Lobby both have fall, alas no Halloween. I talked to the manager at Menards here in town and he said that Halloween merchandise should start rolling into stores around the middle of next week. In the meantime, you...

Re: Steampunk Costume

Last year, a group of friends and I dressed up as a coven of witches. One of my friends dressed up as a Steampunk Witch, whom she named Coppernika. She's the one on the far right in the picture. I think she did a pretty good job. I'm not sure if you can see, but her broom has a steampack on the bot...
