This is Halloween, everybody make a scene!

A belated Happy Halloween to everyone! I hope you all had lots of fun celebrating this spooky holiday. I know Halloween fell on a very inconvenient Thursday night since most people I know had school or work on Friday. At least the weather was nice to us all and gave us, at least in my area, the perfect temperature for walking outside. Not too hot, not too cold, all you needed maybe was a light jacket? Anyway, I did get to celebrate Halloween twice, Thursday night with a small group of friends and Saturday night at a friend of a friend's costume party. I do make the effort to dress up as much as I can. After all, I can only do this and still be seen as normal once a year.

Thursday, October 31
Well most of the day was especially tedious. I spent the whole morning and afternoon writing the longest personal statement ever. It ended up being 19 pages double spaced, basically convincing my college to let me graduate with University Honors. We'll see how that goes... I probably shouldn't have procrastinated until the last day but oh well.

In the evening, I went to Chipotle for some $3 boo-ritos. Well, I really got a burrito bowl but everything was $3. I can't pass that up. For my costume, since I was being especially lazy and a little grumpy from writing that essay all day, I just did some simple cat makeup and some cat ears. It mostly consisted of a whole lot of eyeliner. I used my etude house liquid liner and ULTA automatic eyeliner. The circle lenses I'm wearing are Kimchi Bambi Grey and my cat ear headband is from ebay. A very simple Halloween look for when I'm feeling lazy.

Then of course, drinks with some friends. After the day's hard work, I deserve to relax and let go a bit, don't you think?

To be honest, I wasn't feeling so great that day. However, my friend and I already said yes to going to the party so I didn't want to cancel plans. We would still go, even if just for a little bit. For this look, I wore a maid costume that I bought from amazon for $29.99, but the price changes every so often. I got the size 2XL to fit and cover my boobs quite nicely. I prefer buying things looser then I used the apron to cinch at the waist and give me shape.

This is my first attempt at a more gyaru style makeup, which consists of both upper and lower lashes. I used my new upper lashes by Ardell, review coming up soon. This was my first time using lower lashes, so I did struggle quite a bit. For me, this makeup is a lot more over the top and complex than I'm used to but I like the end result. The lenses I'm wearing are Barbie Diamond 3 Tone Grey.

The party itself was great. I saw a lot of great costumes like the Backstreet Boys, hipster Ariel with her dog as flounder, Mary Kate and Ashley, a farmer complete with a rake, a mime, a lion tamer with her dog dressed as a lion, crazy cat lady, and much more. The house was really nice and they even prepared some delicious sweets and an apple flavored mixed drink, which was wonderful. I met some great people who I found out went to school with me and are in the same major, but just a year behind. It's great to meet new people.

All in all, I had a great Halloween this year. If any of you have been following me for a while, I was a maid too last year. I think French maid will be my go-to costume. Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween too! Now time to prepare for Thanksgiving!
