– Need some last-minute Halloween costume ideas? Slime eyeliner or Super Mario hair should have you covered. To really up the creepiness factor, you could also glue dead scorpions to your nails. (WHY??)
– In other trend news, succulents seem to have taken the beauty world by storm in both hair color and nails.
– Collecting Vintage Compacts shared another in-depth post on Italian enamel compacts.
– On my radar for purchase: this new book on the history of Dior makeup (would have given my eye teeth to help research!) and Pat McGrath's newest release, Metalmorphosis. Also this beautiful Chanel palette, but it's looking doubtful I will be able to get my hands on it, which is killing me.
– I am constantly cutting out pictures of beautifully styled cosmetics from magazines and catalogues, so this peek into a day in the life of a makeup stylist was an incredibly fascinating read.
– I'm firmly with the author of this Nylon piece, which comments on a new campaign shaming women for applying makeup while commuting.
The random:
– Another book on my wishlist.
– Fellow Hillarys of the world, unite!
– Unlike most food that gets the pumpkin spice treatment, this sushi actually sounds delicious.
How are you? Any fun Halloween plans?
