Pumpkin Cookies Recipe

Going along with the culinary themed posts I've (sorta) established. Here's another fall snack for you to make. The best part about Pumpkin Cookies is that you can add whatever you want into them to jazz it up. Anything from chocolates, dried fruit, or even nuts. I took a recipe from food.com and made it my own in terms of the additives.

Happy Halloween!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Not everyone celebrates I know, but it's still a fun excuse to dress up and play. I have a quick (link friendly) list of all the Halloween collections from this year for those interested in buying up a few things, as well as some Halloween makeup looks (videos). Not to mention a NOTD (Nail of the Day). I tried to go for a loosely candy corn inspired nails. Thumb: Gap Irridescent Pearl as base color with Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Rockstar Pink and China Glaze Techno towards the tips. Other fingers: Ruffian Fox Hunt as base color with Essie Luxe Effects in As Gold as it Gets and CG Techno on the tips.

More China Glaze Halloween Collection: Boo-gie Down Review & Swatches

I've already reviewed two of the polishes from the China Glaze Monsters Ball collection here, but I kept on coming back to Boo-gie Down, and I finally caved. I was really afraid it might be a repeat of quality to Carried Away from last year's collection, and that's what was holding me back.

Disney Villiains Ursula Nail Art Kit For Halloween

As part of the Disney Villains Halloween collection, there is a collaboration with Kiss to create nail kits. You can check out my other post to see the display, but these retails for $9.99 like the other items in this release. Luckily, once again I got it on sale for $7.50 at Walgreens. Apparently Ursula is a new edition to the Disney Villains cosmetic release. The artistic packaging of this release is still top notch.

Elf Disney Villians Evil Queen Look Box: Review & Swatches

More Halloween fun for you all! Apparently e.l.f. (Eyes Lips Face) had a collaboration with Disney Villains last year (which I totally missed), and they have done it again. Apparently there were only 3 villains last year- Evil Queen, Cruella de Vil, and Maleficent- but this year they added Ursula. My favorite is the Maleficent, but today we're going over the Evil Queen Look Book. Each of the 4 Look Books come with a multitude of cosmetics, and retails for $9.99 at Walgreens. Luckily I got it when it was on sale for $7.50, score!

Happy Halloween Nail of the Day

Happy Halloween everyone!  I hope you all have lots of fun with candy, makeup, and parties.  If you need ideas on makeup, click here.  Let me know what festive things you have planned.  I thought I would post a quick Nail of the Day (NOTD) pic since I'm having fun with my nail polish, especially since this marks the last day of nail polish for me (at least for one month).  It's going to be odd having bare nails...

P.S. If you need a tutorial on how to use crackle nail polish, check out this tutorial.
