How I spent Halloween 2011

Here I am on my first day at MAC (in a picture I stole from facebook). We are wearing black smokey eyes with Basic Red Chromagraphic pencil on the waterline and Potent Fig Matene lipstick. It was madness - straight on the counter on a Saturday. Tomorrow will be my fifth day. Eep! I love it so far.


 I went straight from there (well, there was a pitstop at home to put on my Wednesday Addams dress, Cruella DeVille coat and pigtails) back to my old job for the 18+ Halloween event. Yeah, the photo is red because the room is bathed in red light (I stole this from facebook, too!) I was kidnapped by the zombies in the live action thingy and made to sit with a sack on my head. Then I had to finish the trail alone. I'd had three vodkas (and in my defence I was very tired!) so I laughed pretty much the whole way (between screams) as creepy actors grabbed me and pushed me and jumped out from the smoke. 


I did a few Halloween manicures, this one is the only one I could get photos of (damn me and my forgetfulness - where IS that charger?) It's non-holographic OPI My Private Jet (the brown version; I found it on the floor at my old job... Bonus!) with an Inglot flakie top coat and pumpkin thumbs. My others have been cute little frankenstein's monsters (which I did last year as well) and a fuscia (with blue flakeys) matte half moon mani. For shame!


My forgetfulness has reared it's ugly head again today, as well. I have washed my jeans with two important pieces of paper inside the pockets - at once ruining the information within and the black clothes I washed. Argh! My life! Hope you're all having a better day than I! They are gonna be MAD at work tomorrow.

  5. Ooooooh, I think I may need Potent Fig. I love the MAC makeup - I'm pretty sure my local counter doesn't organize makeup for holidays or anything. Boo. It'd be more exciting if they did.

    I love your mani!!!! So cute!
