Halloween Makeup and Costume Trial

Hey guys! I asked you all for feedback a few weeks ago on which costume to pick. Well, I ended up going with something completely different than the ones I had on my list before. I decided to go with a cougar costume. I saw a picture of Kim Kardashian wearing one, and I thought it flattered her curvy figure really well. Here's the picture of Kim wearing hers...

 




I love the way hers was made, but couldn't find the exact one, so I went with a look alike. I found one made by the company Leg Avenue. It is realllyyyy cute!



I got it online from partycity.com for a little around $50. Here is a video of me testing mine out. There are tons of pictures of me at the end! Please ignore my silly poses!





And here's a tutorial on how I did the makeup!







The awesome thing about this costume is that it can be transformed into at least two other costumes just in case I want to go to multiple Halloween parties and change it up at each one. I could go as a cougar to one. And if I want to be something else, I can just wear the catsuit, cut off the tail and slap on a blond wig. And BAM...I am Nicky Minaj.



And if I want to change it up again, I could just slap on a cave woman wig, and BAM....I am a cave woman.



And if I want to take it back to the 90's I can be Peg Bundy (or even a street walker) lol!

Halloween Outfit 2011....HELPPPPPP!

Hello heartbreakers! I am back with a special request. Halloween has always been my favorite holiday of the year. Well, aside from my birthday. Anywho, I always end up beginning my preparation months in advance and have even ordered multiple costumes at a time simply because I couldn't make up my mind on which one was the best option. Well, this year I am in a time crunch and can't make up my mind once again. I refuse to buy multiple costumes, so I am relying on you guys to help a sister out. Take a look at the choices below, and leave your vote in the comment section of this post. I would like to get things ordered no later than Monday the 17th to ensure that it arrives in time. I might have to order sooner if the items are coming from China or somewhere else outside of the country. With that said, lets get to the costumes. Oh, and thanks for your help.


Costumes that can be bought locally/in the US:


1.) The Joker from "The Dark Night" movie:

I actually decided last year that I wanted  to do this costume after watching fellow Youtber MsVaugn's Halloween costume. She was the joker last year and it was fierce! Her kinks and curls were spray painted green and the outfit was too cute! She put her costume together herself by using items from various stores. Here's a video of her "Joker" costume.




Joker Costume Pros: 
  • It is scary and has a true spooky Halloween feel
  • It's unique, so I doubt there will be any other women wearing a Joker costume (most dress skimpy).
  • I can get my creative juices flowing by doing my face paint, scars, and shopping for costume pieces.
  • My hair is the perfect length for this look.

Joker Costume Cons:
  • Aside from wearing tight pants with this costume, it lacks obvious sex appeal.
  • Will people even know I am a woman lol?
  • Kissing hubby might be weird with all of the red lipstick,scars, and makeup...
  • I would have to run around town going from store-to-store looking for all of the costume pieces.



 2.) Hello Kitty

I saw this costume in Party City last week, and thought it was cute. I didn't really give it anymore thought until I saw a video of Youtube guru NitraaB in it today! She did a Halloween makeup tutorial wearing the costume and I thought it was sooooo cute! Click here to see the video of NitraaB wearing the costume.

Here's an official picture of the company's model wearing the costume as well.

I would wear it with cute sexy makeup. I am debating doing something like Nitraab's makeup or maybe actually painting my face white and going with a more kitty-like appearance like the person in the picture below.


Either way, I think I would look hot. Why??? Because I would be wearing them with a pair hot pink and black leopard print 5 1/2 inch heel stilettos that I just bought. I got these awesome shoes from amiclubwear.com last month for $18.99. They are definitely smexayyyyy!



Hello Kitty Costume Pros:
  • It can be found locally.
  • It is inexpensive.  :)
  • It will give me a chance to wear my sexy leopard shoes.
  • My legs will look beyond fabulous in the skirt, especially with the heels.
  • It hides my tummy area while still showing off my curves up top.
  • It's sexy without being too revealing.
  • It is cute and fun!
  • And most importantly...I love Hello Kitty!

Hello Kitty Costume Cons:
  • My nicely shaped booty might make the back of the skirt ride up...not sure though.
  • While the leopard shoes are sexy, they are hard to walk in at times due to the height and shoe fit.
  • I wonder if it will be popular this year. I don't want to run into 10 hoochies wearing my outfit lol.


3.) Pregnant Beyonce

Her "Single Ladies" video was a hit. I've seen many people put on a black unitard and parade around as Beyonce. But I have never seen a pregnant beyonce Halloween costume. I think it would be hilarious to get a black unitard and wear a fake belly bump.


Pregnant Beyonce Pros:
  •  It is relevant to current pop culture news.
  • It would be relatively easy to put all of the pieces together.
  • It would be hilarious!
  • I would be wearing a baby bump prosthetic...just like beyonce.
  • Don't have to worry about having a flat tummy when you are going as a pregnant person with a prosthetic bump!
  • I don't think there will be many people in this costume, but I could be wrong.
Pregnant Beyonce Cons:
  • It might be a little cool outside if we go to the haunted house and have to walk after parking.
  • It's not very sexy or cute.
  • I might feel a bit naked...idk.


4.) Sexy Edward Scissorhands:

This isn't really one of my favorite options, but it can be found locally at party city. I like it, but then then there is something about it that bothers me. I think it is because it is kinda sexy...kinda scary...but not really enough of either. What do you guys think??

Costumes that CANNOT be bought in the US:

5.) "Yoruichi"  from Bleach
This is who I reallllly wanted to be this year! Now that hubby and I watch Anime together, I thought it would be cute if I went as Yoruichi and hubby went as Urahara. He looks like Urahara, and I look like Yoruichi, so it would be perfect! I have spent several hours looking into ordering the costume, but everything is sold outside of the USA, so ordering now would be a complete gamble! Some places have said they could get it here in time, but it would be cutting it close. 





Yoruichi and Urahara are love interests on the show, so it would be a great couple's costume idea for us! 



Yoruichi Pros:
  • It is unique...there won't be any other girls with this costume.
  • Hubby and I can have a couple's costume...how cute!
  •  Her character resembles me. I have cat eyes and dark skin.
  •  I would feel "bad-ass" in this costume because she is such a strong character.
  • It is sexy without being skimpy.

Yoruichi Cons:
  • I would have to buy all items from outside of the US.
  • I would have to pay regular international shipping rates PLUS express shipping fees...expensive!
  • A few of the items are coming from different stores, so that = LOTS of shipping fees.
  • Unless people watch Anime, they will have no clue who I am dressed as.
