Fun products for Halloween… 2012

It’s that time of the year, again, and everybody looks extremely excited.
It’s Halloween and a million pumpkins will be killed for the occasion, so please do something with that orange stuff!
Sorry, I’m not that fun so let’s go back to other subject.
Like a tradition, here is a bunch of colourful, spooky, mysterious beauty products I’ve selected for your Halloween and post party joy.
Let’s get started with nail polishes!
The O.P.I 2012 Halloween collection is called “So So Skullicious” and contains 4 mini nail laquers.
The shades are, again, quite simple and are the following:
“Hi, Pumpkin!”: a crème pumpkin orange (of course);
“A rose from the dead”: a crème bright pink;
“Morning glory”: a crème black;
“Candlelight”: a quite warm yellow crème nail polish.
The set includes also water decals with folcloristic (Mexican style) and coloured skulls, so you can have way more fun with this set.

The Halloween collection put together by Orly is more interesting and its name is “Spellbound”.
“Spellbound” is all about crazy sparkles since it has 3 Flash Glam FXs with different shaped glitters and a black crème base. You can use the glittery nail laquers alone or over the dark base called “Liquid Vinyl”.
“Liquid Vinyl” costs 8,50$, “Monster Mash”, “Right amount of evil” and “R.I.P” cost 10 $ and can be found on line too, at the Orly web store.

If you like the “glow in the dark effect” you can’t miss these lovely nail laquers.

They glow after being simply exposed to the light and are available in 12 shades!
They cost 4,99$ each, while the whole set costs 55$, and can be purchased at BornPretty store with free shipping option.
The price is not that big but you can always take advantage of discounts, my followers can use the code VC5W21  to get 5% off.

Lush has has always something special and aromatic for Halloween, the product list can vary depending on your country, so it’s better to check your local Lush site to see what is available and the correct price.
Some of these products are:
“Twilight”: a shower gel that creates an iridescent foam with lavender and tonka notes, available in three sizes;
“Twilight”: the relaxing bath bomb with the same lavender and tonka smell;
“Magic”: a jewel shaped bath bomb with basil and peppermint oils;
“The enchanter”: its foam changes magically into your bath tub from orange to pink and it will wake you up with its lime and neroli essences;
“Calacas”: a gelly foam to make washing very fun. Has a sugar skull shape and has lime essential oil and aloe vera, good for sensitive skin.
“Something wicked this way comes”: a bath melt. Simply put a bit of it under the running water and it will nourish the skin and intrigue you with orange and jasmine.
 

Lime Crime is a quite famous brand on the net, everybody knows how pigmented their lipsticks and eye shadows are. The Alchemy collection has a fantasy palette, with 5 duochrome eyeshadows into a metal case, and two crazy lipsticks, Poisonberry and Serpentina, and a little book.
The whole collection is sold out, but you can find the single make-up items here.

Let’s onto independent creations, the moment I prefer.
