Tricks and Treats are fun to share, especially when halloweens in the air.




Makeup by Gabriella.





With halloween creeping up I figured I’d show all of you little makeup mavens a thing or to about celebrating this holiday in a "boo-tiful" way.
Halloween is my favorite holiday because it's all about being someone or something you're not. And I, as being someone who normally steps outside of the brown box and into a glittery one feels this is a perfect time for you ladies to be creative!










Okay, so the most essential items when you're going out for this spooktacular holiday is your costume and a pair of to die for lashes. The top two brands I would steer towards are M.A.C. and Makeup Forever. If you're looking for more of a dramatic lash without all of the feathers and glitter M.A.C. is a better choice. Their 44 Lash is beautiful and dramatic ($15 at M.A.C.). As for Makeup Forever they have every color, feather, length, you could ask for! Be a little daring and try out those fun lashes you've been thinking about but had no where to wear them to ($15 at Sephora).










Do you have a love/hate relationship with your lipstick? I know I do. Try these lips on for size, Violent Lips come in all different colors and styles. Glitter, leopard print, fishnet, you name it they have it. They are a temporary lip tattoo, come in a variety of colors, last for four-eight hours, and also come with three appliques. Prices range, they're sold at Sephora for $15 or you can check them out on their site at http://www.violentlips.com/collections/all.






















For that ultra flashy look try out Ultra Flesh. It’s a smudge resistant face and body spray makeup that comes with three detailing pens and nine reusable stencils. Spray colors that come with this kit are as follows: black moondust, pink stardust, and gold golddust. ($60 at Sephora, I suggest purchasing this product online because there is no shipping!)


























I'm personally a glitterholic and need my daily dose. For those of you who have costumes that require some glitter for your lips, hair, or body need to try this it's addicting! Remember a little bit goes a long way, to apply use a wet brush and pat on the skin for a more lasting effect. A little tip for you ladies: when putting glitter in your lipgloss or buying a glitter gloss it gives more of a voluminous effect. Move over plastic surgeons here comes the glitter gloss! And if you need the glitter to stick to your body/hair dampen the area a bit put some glitter in the palm of your hand and blow onto the areas as needed ($13 at Sephora).

Hope you ladies have more treats then tricks!
Lots of lashes of love,
Gabriella
