Sorry!

 I'm starting to think I'll never keep a promise I make on this blog!
29 days into November and still no post of my Halloween costume.
But I'm here and I've got not one, but 3 Halloween looks from this year!

The first look actually took the longest to construct. It was for the local bar crawl that most Uni students enjoy taking part in.
True to form I was the most overly made up person in the clubs but HEY thats the way I like it!
I created a half Frankenstein stiched up face using paint, embroidery thread, liquid latex and some scarring liuid that I can never remember the name of!
I wore one black contact lense and one green and a black wrap around pony tail. Finally I sprayed the rest of my hair black with two strips of white.
 The second look was for a house party we decided to through the friday before halloween. As it was only a small gathering I didnt go too majorly dressed up (for me anyway!). I found a dress on eBay that I totally fell inlove with, so decided to become the character on it: Corpse Bride!
It took me 3 attempts of redoing the makeup and even the final look I wasn't happy with (as you can see by the comment I posted in the picture from snapchat: oh add me if you like! It's "ditsybubble")
This look was basically a black wig, blue, white, and black face paint, pink lipstick and two sets of eyelashes stuck to either sid of my overly drawn on eyes,

 This final look was the most prepared for (starting in August!)
The ICE QUEEN!
The head piece was made by hand. A white wig, papier mache horns painted silver, fake ivy, fake white flowers, silver sprayed old extensions and a lot of hot glue and glitter! Stencils were used to create snowflakes on my fake and neck and rhinestones were glued to eyelashes then painted white. Black contacts were worn.
** WARNING- do not wear cheap contacts for extended periods of time! I had a head ache the whole of the next day from wearing them for 12 hours! And very sore eyes**

Hope you enjoyed these looks! Comment below with your halloween costumes or post our pics if you decide to recreate any of these!

Update





Once again I've neglected this page and not sure how or where to start up again!
Well here's a list of where I am in life since I last posted:
I turned 22.
I finished my second year of Graphics design at University and heading into the third and final year in the next few weeks.
I've been on counless holidays!
I started teaching swimming, but only for a year and a bit. I quit this summer to focus on my Uni course.
I played for the University netball team for the second year. Unfortunately work got in the way for a lot of it but this year my time table is a bit more flexible!

In a previous post I mentioned a Halloween costume which consisted of a black wig, yellow contacts and blue body paint. Well I guess I've kept you waiting for a stupid amount of time to reveal the end result, so without further a do.... Here is my Halloween costume of 2014 (very late I know!)

AVATAR!


Unfortunately I never managed to get a clear photo of the whole outfit as it was late at night and the house had terrible lighting!
The outfit took weeks of painting, sewing and cutting expecially as each part of the costume would trickle in through the post as most of it came from ebay.
This year is no different and I already have some of the pieces in transit from good old China!
So far I have bought: Feathers, twigs,silver and white spray paint and a white wig... much much more to order, but lets see if you can have a guess what this years outfit will be.
Oh and I promise to post nearer Halloween this time so you dont have to wait over a year for me to get my butt in gear!

Comment down below your halloween outfit ideas!

Much love
