Halloween 2015 - My look

I know, I know. Tumbleweeds on the blog, long time no see,  blah blah blah. Who gives a pumpkin about why I have not  updated this blog for so long. I don't think for one minute that your life has stopped running its course because my blog hasn't been updated  so let's cut to the chase and let me share with you what I wore on Halloween, which in case you didn't know, is my favourite day of the year.


I've got a list long as my arm of looks I would like to create  and characters I would like to impersonate for Halloween until  Halloween 2057. I can't tell for how long I have been longing  to have some tribal style paintings on my face so this year I  finally turned myself into a Tribal Warrior, inspired by  "Alive" by Empire of the Sun and some tribal makeup looks from Instagram.

After the trauma of finding a wig that fitted the bill last year  for incarnating Cleopatra and the costs involved, I really  wanted to do a budget look this year and wanted to recycle  what I had in my wardrobe and makeup collection. Minus my  contact lenses (more on that later) everything I wore, from  the makeup, the outfit, the jewellery was recycled from the  past. With putting on weight over the years, and even after  losing 8 pounds for the occasion there no chance I could have  worn my brown avatar skirt so my ordinary multi purpose black  skirt had to do.

Now for the piece de resistance: the most inexpensive,  comfortable, easy to wear and striking even on dark eyes  lenses on the planet. Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce to  the Mesmereyez Xtreme LOUIS One Day Halloween Contact Lenses at £6.99 a pair from Hunt or Dye.
Of course I am never going to be as good as the boyfriend who  pops in his lenses in a micro second flat, because he wears  lenses every day but I don't recall managing putting lenses in  my lenses so fast. I am not sure if it's because they are  designed to last just one day and that the material is super  thin but I found them very easy to insert in my eyes. Another  big help was the colour. There is no way you can put the  lenses inside out. The outside is very obvious from the inside  and it felt so reassuring to be 500% sure they were inserted  the right way.
