Cleopatra MakeUp for Halloween
I bought a black wig and found a Cleopatra costume at Goodwill, so I decided to go with it and be Cleopatra for Halloween this year. I had bought the wig with hopes of dressing at Katy Perry, but couldn’t think of a way to do it without have to have a very elaborate costume. Someday…
At any rate, here is a step-by-step guide to my makeup experiment. I’m hoping to invest in some makeup brushes soon, which will help with the application. Also, I should’ve sprung for a black eyeliner that wasn’t $0.99!
Lipstick: Loreal Refined Ruby
Eyeliner: Wet n’ Wild Black
Eyeshadow: Benefit Birthday Suit
Moisturizer: Aveeno (Tinted)
Eyelashes: Target Costume Lashes with glitter base
Note: I don’t use mascara with fake lashes, but if you do, please make sure to apply before the lashes and let it fully dry.
ZUMBA FAIL

Decorating for Halloween on the Cheap
Ruby and I are having fun working on Halloween/Fall crafts together and today we put them on display in our sitting room. With some supplies I already had a the aforementioned raid on the Target $1 bin, we were able to make the room a fun & spooky place to be for right at $15.
I will still probably break down and buy a few regular pumpkins, but I am loving the simple and silly things we have done together so far.
