HALLOWEENTIME

Halloween preperation has begun. My take on this time of year:

Considering I don't do anything for this time of year (I've only been trick 'o' treating twice) some find it really weird that I like Halloween so much and get excited for it, more than Christmas or birthdays.
I do love this time of year; autumn is my favourite season and Halloween comes with it.

The haunted parties, scary costumes and of course sweets and chocolate.

When you think of Halloween time you think pumpkins, whether you traditionally carve one or not. I've always wanted to get a pumpkin.

Spooky atmosphere of Halloween and looking at all the Halloween decorations.

Sweets and chocolate treats.

CANDY APPLES!

You know Autumn is here and winter is not far so a hot cup of coffee/tea when you come inside from the cold weather to warm up is perfect. 




What is your favourite part of Halloween?

COOKIE MONSTER


What's your favourite treat/dessert that you cannot resist? Mine? COOKIES!
I always find myself tempted whenever I see cookies, and occasionally do get one but manage somehow to restrain myself.

I saw an image on twitter of s'more cookies. OMG! My two favourites  marshmallows and cookies - I instantly thought 'I must have one' so....

I attempted to make one at home by putting a piece of chocolate and some marshmallows between cookie dough.




When it came out the oven I couldn't wait to try it!




I cut it in half to see what it was like inside. WOW! The chocolate melted out and you could see slightly the marshmallows inside which had melted also melted a little so it was all gooey inside.




With the added marshmallows in the centre it added something extra to the cookie and admittedly have made a lot of these since the first one I made (maybe one too many).

The melted chocolate and melted marshmallows were amazing I didn't know why I hadn't thought of this before!

Served when its slightly warm, its perfectly for a treat now and again.

2 HALLOWEEN LOOKS: PART II

Here's the second look I did!!

I thought I loved the Killer Clown look but then I recreated another:



This look is good for perhaps a zombie look or anything you think really. All I know is this is my favourite look I've done, again using only what I had I was surprised of how it turned out this good.
  


Adding the (fake) blood made the look 'scarier' and really you just got to add some blood on Halloween, it is Halloween after all.



 


I loved recreating the looks I did (Killer Clown look was PART I, check it out if you haven't already)

  


What do you normally do for Halloween? Trick 'o' Treating or going to a party?





2 HALLOWEEN LOOKS: PART I

 What are you going as for Halloween?






I was inspired by a tutorial I saw on youtube and decided to recreate it. This 'Killer Clown' look I tried using the makeup I had:







 I LOVED the blue hair which I got a coloured hairspray for, first I used the white as my hair is black/brown so when I sprayed the blue the colour payoff would appear much better.




 The (fake) blood I got made the look better and more 'scarier'. I was surprisingly glad of how I recreated this Killer Clown look.








I loved recreating these looks and would wear these looks out for Halloween.
