Happy Halloween! I thought I'd share some spooky beauty items and ads I've stumbled across the past few months. (These will be offered without much commententary since it's been a long week and I'm too tired/lazy.)
Estée Lauder Shimmering Spider compact from the Glitter Bug compact collection, 2000:

B. Beauty Dead of Night palette, 2014 (swatches available at Cosmetic Candy). As far as I know this brand is only available at Superdrug in the UK.

Sterling silver Volupté spider web compact, circa 1930s:

*Church Lady voice* Could it be…SATAN? Why yes, there is "a bit of Satan" in these Evening in Paris Satin Finish lipsticks, according to the ad (1957).

The devil also makes an appearance in this ad for Cutex, 1954:

Cutex had a few ads fitting for Halloween, like this one from 1941. The shade names sound like they'd be more appropriate for Christmas, however.

There's also this one from 1966:

Another witchy ad, this time for "Contoure" Make-up, 1947:

Finally, here's a cute Elvira-esque Stila girl in from an email I got a few weeks ago. Looks like she's also rocking some Louboutins.
Hope you enjoyed these! I'm off to clean up…some staff members got into the Pumpkin Spice M & Ms I found at Target and thought it would be fun to feast on them among the decorative gourds.
