halloween 2013

Some of you may not know that I have moved cities, and since I've switched shops I've had to start from the ground up again.
Needless to say my paychecks have been quite pathetic. So this year my usual big budget for Halloween costumes was nonexistent. So I had to improvise. 

The day of Halloween we went out with some friends and went to a haunted house that was organized by the local children's hospital. They were raising money for new treatments. I was very impressed with the level of detail they put into the event. The haunted house was actually super creepy and long. The "actors" were volunteers and most of them did an excellent job. I had an amazing time. Everyone likes there pants scared off now and then. 

So this particular night I just wore a sequined skeleton dress that I already had in my closet and some appropriate matching accessories. I got super shitty face paint from the dollar store that actually stained my face red (serves me right). I was happy with the overall out come however. If I wanted to do something more detail I might have been super aggravated and angry that I didn't buy some better quality paint that wasn't made from let over oil and dye in some Chinese factory somewhere. I just wanted the look to be almost pop-art. I also used contacts I already own from Pinky Paradise, one pink one and one grey one. The results:

The weekend after Halloween we had a party at our house and decorated it and invited some friends over. I didn't get alot of good pictures because things were super rushed and I just wanted to start drinking etc. I did sneak in some cute shots with my little minion however. I just used an old costume I had in my closet and did my make up all purrtttyyy. Contacts are from Pinky Paradise, make up is from Lime Crime, and the wig is from Lock Shop (I'll provide links below). Overall such a good night, but because of the time change I got super tired and fell asleep on the couch while people were still over. Oops.

I get a lot people asking me where I got my contacts, so I thought I'd make a little post about them. 
So y'all can go make your eyeballs look Japanime too. 

Contacts:   G&G BT02 Violet
Color: Violet

Comfort: 3/5

Intensity: 3/5 

Comments: I like these contacts in the light, they look alright over my yellowish green eyes, but I think they'd look better over brown eyes. They aren't as intense as I thought they'd be. Most of the time my eyes just look light brown. They can sometimes also be a pain in the butt to get in. 

Contacts:   G&G Gossip Green

Color: Green

Comfort: 5/5

Intensity: 4.5/5 

Comments: I love these! They don't really make my eyes look all that different, they just make them look a lot more defined. They bring out the natural colors of my eyes. Putting them in was like having soft fuzzy kittens gently kiss my eye balls. And suddenly a whole new world of comfortable contacts appeared before me like sleeping on clouds made of bunny rabbit tails. Finally my morning routine will not include me vulgarly using words that are usually used for body parts. 

 

Included!

I have a few more sets on order. I will update later on!

Wore my contacts all day! I love them :3 They are super duper cute. I wasn't that uncomfortable even with false lashes. 

Nothing really that exciting to report today. I feel sicky :( About to play some World of Warcraft and watch the movie Constantine.

This is my outfit today. Super comfy! ^3^ I'm not posting it on LookBook because I don't really like the picture. Maybe tomorrow will be better. Goodnight friends! xo

 So pumped to receive my contacts! I love them! It took me many tries to get them in. I've never put contacts in before. Once they were in they look super cute. They felt uncomfortable and I wouldn't suggest to anyone who doesn't have a prescription to read or watch tv while wearing them. I suppose my eyes just needed to adjust. I kept feeling like there was a weird film over my eyes. Now that I see they don't look super scarey in I might wear them at work. I think my clients, coworkers and boss are starting to get used to the way I dress etc. I have done weirder things. 

I want to get yellow ones next! I will eventually start a collection. I order them from someone in my country so they are cheap and they get here quite fast. They would probably look better on someone with brown eyes. My eyes are bright green. So purple over green looks interesting. 

 My outfit from yesterday. So comfy! I love that "goth" clothing is becoming more common. I don't have to shop online anymore. A lot of Canadian stores are now selling clothing articles with crosses and skulls on them. The only problem is other people will be wearing the same thing.  I finally found knee high socks! Yay! Kinda hard to see in this picture.  Please hype for my outfit on LookBook here! 

 If you guys have any questions about my contacts, or my clothes, make up etc I now have a formspring I will be checking regularly. Check it out below (click Batty McBat). I will also be making some hair tutorial videos too later on. I will share my hair knowledge! <3

My outfit at work. Please hype me on LookBook here :3. It is not a good idea to cut hair with a scarf on. :( Itchy...

Batty Mcbat! I drew him :D

You can use him if you wish. Just please link back to my blog thank you! :3 x

  

Today I bought some things off of eBay! It's my favourite place to shop. I needed some circle lense contacts for my Lolita cosplay I will be wearing at Anime North this year. 

 They are from a Canadian seller :3 Which mean fast shipping! 

I got them here  

But Pinky Paradise makes great quality lenses for a good price <3 

 

 I also got these for my Samsung Galaxy Nexus

 

So kawaii! I can't wait! I got both colors so I can switch them :3

Super cheap. I got them here.

 I wanted some new boots that had a smaller platform than the usual boots I wear. I also wanted something with a warm lining. Canada is cold! It's been -35 celsius most days :(

So I bought these from here.  

Look awesome don't they? I thought so too. Well I received them in the mail yesterday. THEY LOOK NOTHING LIKE THIS. The lining is white, which throws off the whole look of the boot. And the straps are really flimsy. They are made form velcro, so once they get wet they don't stay up at all. Not very functional for walking in the snow. Also, the base of the show looks very horrible, low quality. And worse of all, there is not platform at all! I wanted a smaller platform than the usual 5" ones I wear. But I didn't want it to be removed entirely. 

 

Bad feedback for you sir! I never give bad feedback but when I paid almost $60 for those I want them to be exactly how the image looks.

 

Well on a bright note I will leave you with some KMFDM :3 xox
