Halloween Pickup Lines ;)

To end my week of Halloween posts I have decided to give you a couple a quirky and cheesy pick up lines.  If anyone reading this actually tries these please tell me if they work and If I happen to try any of these on Halloween Ill be sure to let you guys know.

1. That's a nice Witch costume, but you won't be needing the broom anymore, because you've already swept me off my feet.

2. I can't find a costume for Halloween, so can I just go as your boyfriend/girlfriend?

3.You're the most boo-tiful ghost I've seen all night!

4. You look so good, you're making my crotch rise from the dead.

5. Is that candy in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?

6. I would totally carve your pumpkin.

7. If I were a zombie, I'd eat you first.

8. You Must be tired, because you've been running through my nightmares all night!

(Warning: Catching Fire is now on Netflix)

9.  I don't want your candy, what I really want is your number.

10. You are dead sexy, literally.

11. Are you being a ghost for Halloween, or are you just my boo?

12. I wanna bob for your apples.

Halloween Makeup Ideas

I hope you guys like tutorials because I just figured out this week how to add them to my blog posts.  One thing I wish I was really good at was makeup but sadly I'm proud I finally figured out the right color foundation for my skin tone.  Everyday I think makeup is a way in enhance your look and not over power it.  On Halloween it is the complete opposite, on Halloween makeup can be your complete look.  If I could do it my dream Halloween costume would be wearing a vintage 1800 dress with skull makeup.  

Day of the Dead Sugar Skulls

Day of the dead also known as All Saints Day is a celebrated by Mexico as well as South and Central America.  It is a celebration that goes on from November 1st and 2nd and it is a way to honor people who have passed.  Different colors represent different things.  Pink represents joy, red is the symbol of sacrifice, purple means suffering, white means hope, and orange means a new day.  

Zombie 

For a person who can barley watch Greys Anatomy surreys this photo gets really gross to look at yet still has me looking for how that is fake.  With the walking dead becoming more and more popular I see Zombie costumes being a big deal this year.  Also in this picture I notice is the colored contacts which is always an easy add on to a costume.  

Elphaba

This is a costume which I fell is very underdone.  Yes there are billions of witches every year but no one ever dresses up as the wicked witch herself.  With the right makeup all you need is a black dress and a hat and you have a great costume that no one else you run into will have.  

Vampire

It seems like after Twilight the gory fanged vampire has gone away and now the vampire looks like a high fashion model and you have Hollywood to thank for that.  This might possible be the easiest of all the makeup looks to achieve because its working with light tones for your face and dark tones for your eyes and lips.  Even with the right color of dark lipstick and a smoky eye you have a simply perfect 

Emily From the Corpse Bride

How cool is this makeup? Well maybe washing it off isn't too much fun but I find this costume so cool and unique.  In this makeup look the areas to focus are on the lip, eyes and eyebrows.  For the lip color I would look for a shiny bubblegum pink color.  For the eyes I would get a dark blue eyeliner pencil and fade it into a smoky eye.  For the eye brows go bold but not a Cara Delevingne bold a skinny bold eyebrow will look the best.  

Skulls

I LOVE SKULLS.  Honestly the most underrated Halloween costume but you need a lot of skill to get a skull to come out as good as this.  If anyone reading this and is good a doing skulls you should honestly go into business doing skulls for $20 because you could get enough money to pay for all your Christmas gifts and still have time to have a great Halloween.  

Pop Art Makeup

I have never seem this makeup before but I'm obsessed with it.  I looked into what to wear with this costume and in my opinion what looks best is wearing clothing that is 50's inspired.  Think circle skirts with a poodle on them.  The one I saw that I really like looked a lot like a typical housewife seen in a old sitcom. It seems with this costume that working with the shapes in your face and chest will make this makeup look the best.

Halloween Decorating Ideas

I think when anyone who is planning a Halloween party wishes that they could have the floating pumpkins in the first Harry Potter movie but then again most people wish they could be Harry Potter.  Sadly we are not wizards which makes having floating pumpkins nearly impossible.  When decoration for either a party or just festively decorating your house for Halloween, you can put as much work as you want into it.  In my opinion it doesn't matter weather you decorate a little or decorate your whole house and your yard it always looks good.  I don't think I've ever seen a house decorated and thought it looked bad.

DIY Pumpkin and Ghost Balloons

I absolutely love this idea because it's a great way to save money when decorating.  A pumpkin of ghost balloon at the store could be anywhere from 4-6 dollars but you could get plain orange and white gallons for 10 cents.  Then all you need is a sharpie and do simple pumpkin carving drawings on the balloons.  

Do it Yourself Nightmare Before Christmas Mug

How cool would it be to treat your guest with a Nightmare Before Christmas mug when giving them their evening coffee?  This idea is simple and easy all you need is a sharpie and a mug.  Also you can use this item as a decoration until Christmas because who really knows if the Nightmare before Christmas movie is a Christmas or halloween movie.

Pumpkin Carving

Pumpkin carving is always been the classic decoration for porches for Halloween.  Pumpkin carving is also a fun activity to do with friends during the fall.  

DIY Door Decorating

I love when people have their doors decorated during Halloween.   I also really like this idea because there is so much you can do with this idea.  You could create a monster, skeleton, or even a mummy. 

DIY Banner

This is a great easy way to add some Halloween decoration to your room. You can have balloons in your banner but after a little bit the balloons will deflate so I advise cutting out pumpkins in paper and then decorating them.  

Skulls

I love this idea.  My idea to replicate this is get cheap Halloween skulls at Wall mart and then spray paint them how you wish.  The thing I like about his sea is it looks cool that all the skulls are different sizes so you don't have to worry about getting identical skulls. 

DIY Crayon Pumpkin

This is the new idea to the canvas crayon drip art.  With this you do the same exact idea where you use a glue gun and glue crayons and use a blow dryer to make them melt.  With this idea you could also paint the pumpkin white or any color to give the colors a more dramatic look yet still look a pumpkin.  (Most grocery stores also sell white pumpkins.)

Halloween Costume Ideas

I think Halloween is fucking amazing.  Sorry pardon my french.  But what other day of the year do you have to dress like a completely different person without any judgement?  My advice for everyone on Halloween is be something you wouldn't ever do and get out of your comfort zone.  Most importantly have fun and be safe.

Black Swan

Even though this movie is a few years old I think this a a great pop culture costume.  Actually it's what my friend and I are being for Halloween.  If you have a friend one of you can be white swan and the other can be the evil black swan.  This costume is fairly easy to do the only thing I have to say it can be expensive.  I believe my friend bought all the stuff she needed (tutu, corset, feathers, tights, spandex) for 35 and I bought mine exempt in white for 50.  

Amy Winehouse

I never knew deceased celebrity costumes where so popular but this on I like because it is not over done and everyone will know who you are.  This one would be super easy If you ave dark brown hair but you could always wear a wig.  Some leather pants which you could probably get cheap at tj maxx a tank and some fake tattoos.  

Eagle

I like this costume because I don't think I've ever been trick or treating and ran into an Eagle.  Also the more you put into it the better it looks.  I really like this costume because it will look great in fall and masks always add a bit of mystery to an outfit.  

(sorry all the diy videos where about Mascots)

Burton's Doll

I think a doll is a perfect Halloween costume for someone for a party.  The thing is I think Halloween should always about having the perfect mix of sexy and scary.  A doll is perfect for that because you look creepy but also gorgeous at the same time.  

Skeleton Body Suit

I love skeletons! It possibly could be that my two older brothers where both skeletons and I never got to be one but I always thought they where the most underrated costume.  Like you get to wear a body suit to show off your body, who wouldn't want to do that? I know black milk has this exact body suite  but you could also find a cheaper one on amazon. (It's where I get all my replica black milk leggings)

Body Suit Leotard

Fortune Teller

So this one was a little American Horror story Freak Show inspired.  The reason I really like this outfit and can not wait until I'm older and can pull this off while I'm drinking my fine champaign.  For this outfit I would go to thrift stores because you're bound to find a vintage lace dress and some creepy crystal ball.  

5 Fall Favorites That Will Make You Froget About Winter Coming

October is almost over and if many of you are in the place I'm in your trying to get everything dine before November 1 and still have fun on halloween.  In this post I'm sharing you my favorite and what I am loving this month.
Fashion

1. American Flag Scarf

I first saw this Scarf on the vineyard but it wasn't until my school had a patriotic day and i started searching for patriotic clothing I saw this scarf. This scarf is from Free People.

Beauty

2. EOS Blue Berry Acai

Winter would not be complete without a great Chapstick.  But why not start protecting your lips early from those harsh winds.  This Chapstick is the best and is not that expensive I got mine for a dollar from drugstore.com

3. POP- Party pop crayon

I got this lip gloss from a Ispy bag a few months ago.  But it wasn't until this month that I started using it.  I have to say it is the best lip gloss I have ever used.  The colors are great and they last all day.  And I know literally every product says that but this truly does.  I left for school at 7 in the morning and was still showing when I got back from work at 9.

Miscellaneous

4. Candy Corn M&M's

Best Halloween candy, I have to say.  I think you can tell I like these.  I usually don't like white chocolate but the white chocolate used in these "candy Corn" is so good.  

5. Starbursts Candy Corn

Have fun on halloween xoxo-dbc

Halloween 2013 The Good, bad, and Scary

I absolutely love Halloween but i can never seem to have a costume I like.  Last year all I did was paint my face and wear a headband with bunny ears.  This year is my last year of trick-or-treating so I'm motivated to make it the best.  My advice is never buy costumes from the store.  There so cheap they will not last till halloween.  Go to tjmaxx or even better a thrift store.  Your only going to be wearing the clothes for a few hours and you could possibly spend less at a thrift store than buying a cheap costume at target.  Lets start out with the good disney costumes.

Alice in Wonderland:Alice

Alice is a perfect Halloween costume, you will never get the awkward question about who your dressed as.  Also this costume is easy to accomplish.  For the white dress go to your local home goods and get a white cooking apron.  For the blue dress you can get a vintage looking dress shirt and a blue skirt.  The best place to get this clothing is at a thrift store because you can always find vintage clothing.  For the large black bow you can go to your local craft store and get a thick black ribbon.  For the black headband you can get a comparable one at Forever 21 for under 5 dollars.

The Mad Hatter

It surprises me that the mad hatter is such a popular costume for women.  Most people would think that the hardest part of this costume to find would be the hat.  Last year I learned that you can make this hat out of a cardboard box.  After you make the hat you can cover it in black fabric and wrap a scarf around it.  For the coat the best place to go would be a thrift store.  All you really need is a long wool coat.  The last part is the bow scarf.  For this I would buy a few yards of fabric and tie it in a bow.

Now I have to tell you about the bad costumes on halloween.  I'm not going to post any photos of the bad costumes because we all know what they are (slutty nurse).  But who am I to say that you can't be a slutty nurse. My advice is to at least wait till your not trick-or-treating to bring out the bad costumes.

The Scary

The Modern Scary Skeleton

This costume is the hardest and easiest costume in my post.  For your outfit you can pretty much wear what ever you want.  In my opinion the reason why the costume looks good is because of the irony.  The model is wearing a girly peaceful dress with a live flower crown but her character is dead.  If you decide to do this costume play up your outfit as alive because it will bring out the makeup.  Now comes the hard part THE MAKEUP.  I have  friend that is extremely food at doing skulls.  If your thinking about doing this for halloween start now after you read this go on youtube and watch a Skull Tutorial.

The Vampire Bride

The vampire is possibly the most destroyed halloween costume.  Why I say that is because of twilight.  Hypothetically vampires are hundreds of years old.  In twilight they were modern clothing and just putting on your school clothes and wearing white makeup is not a costume.  For this costume is get a long black dress and build on it.  It will be easy to go to a craft store and give volume to the end of the dress than to actually find a dress like this in the photo.  Now for the makeup, keep it classic.  Use A foundation that is not white but the lightest color.  For the lips you a dark color and defiantly not red like a dark maroon would be perfect.  Then the last step is to use false eyelashes.

The most important part of halloween is not the costume or how much candy you get it is that you have fun.  So just remember to make the best out of your halloween and just think a little that its a thursday and you have to go to work or school the next day.
