Glam Ghouls 2020: Alien Cosmetics Wants You To Get Abducted…By Color!
I’m a little sad that there aren’t more Halloween makeup collections this year…or that some of the launches of those collections were such epic clusterfucks (I’m looking at you, ColourPop!). I’m a huge fan of Halloween-themed makeup and I love it that more brands seem to be embracing the idea of having a holiday collection centered around spooky season! As I was thinking about what I wanted to review in October, I had a couple of palettes that have been sitting in my collection for a while, waiting to be...

Happy Spooky Season, my lovely Champagne Dreamers! I’m back with another Face Friday, and this time we’re playing with the BH Cosmetics Drop Dead Gorgeous Halloween collection that I reviewed this last Makeup Monday, and I’m creating a couple of creepy options that you could use to create your most Spooktacular witchy look for the big day! I was super excited to get to play with these products, and I even got to bring in one of the Milani Alter Ego Halloween products as well! If you liked that review or if you picked up...
read more31 Days Of Halloween: The Movies That Didn’t Make “The Cut”
When I posted at the beginning of the month that I was doing 31 Days of Halloween, I mentioned that my original short list was 50 movies which got edited down to the final list of 31. I thought it might be fun to let you know what 19 movies were on the list that didn’t make the cut – and talk about why! HALLOWEEN SERIES: Halloween 3 Halloween (2007) Halloween 2 (2009) In addition to the main John Carpenter films that made it to the list, my short list also included Halloween 3 as well as both Rob Zombie remakes of Halloween and...
read moreGlam Ghouls 2020: BH Cosmetics Does Halloween – But Is It Spooktacular, Or Terrifyingly Tragic?!
Welcome to another spooky Makeup Monday for the month of October! This week we have the Drop Dead Gorgeous collection from BH Cosmetics, and let me tell you: I have a lot of feelings! Before we get into it, let’s just start by saying that the collection is by no means terrible. I’ve owned terrible makeup in my day, and this isn’t it. But it’s definitely disappointing considering that this collection came out after the Sweet Shoppe palettes. Those palettes are amazing, and yes, they were expensive by BH Cosmetics...
read moreFace Friday: The Lighter Side Of Halloween, Feat. Glamlite & Lemonhead LA!
Hey there ghouls and boils, are you ready for the first of my kinda, sorta Halloween-themed Face Friday looks? I’m not great with special effects or character makeup, so for spooky season this year I decided to do some fun twists on my usual makeup looks to make them more appropriate for the upcoming high holy day! For this look, I wanted to play with the new Glamlite Cosmetics Ice Cream Dreams palette, so I created a loose, blended shadow look and took it over the top with a ton of glitter for a look that would be great for a unicorn...
read moreGet Ratchet With Miss Jaye, Color Reveal Barbie, & YouTuber NikkieTutorials In This Week’s Video!
Another week, another video from your Trash Queen of Glam, Geek, & Gore, Miss Janessa Jaye Champagne! This week’s video is a little longer, and features a full GRWM (Get RATCHET With Me) using a Color Reveal Barbie to inspire the look! This idea was inspired by NikkieTutorials and her video “Letting You Know I’m Okay…” and so it just seemed appropriate to use Nikkie’s collab palette with Beauty Bay, as well as several other Beauty Bay brand palettes! This look is a wild ride, and there were a couple...

It’s spooky season again, Champagne Dreamers, and even though this year has been a real shitshow, I’m super excited! Even if I’m just painting my face to sit around my office or to watch scary movies in the Champagne Manor, I’m ready to get spooky and glam! I feel like I didn’t see very many Halloween collections this year, but I did manage to find enough ooky spooky options that we’ll be able to have one Halloween-themed review each Monday in October, starting with this one: Milani’s Alter Ego...

Miss Jaye is back with another great Tube Tuesday video, and just in time for Spooky Season, it’s another horror video: 13 Horror Influences! In this new video, Miss Jaye shares some of the great horror icons that influenced her growing up, from the “Horror Lite” gothic soap opera Dark Shadows to the demonic delights of The Exorcist. This fun little walk down spooky memory lane is a great way to learn more about Miss Jaye’s horror influences, maybe enjoy some nostalgia for things you loved as a kid, or even discover...
read moreFace Friday: 50 Shades Of Beige, The Sequel – 50 Shades Darker! Feat. THAT Infamous Palette…
Hello Champagne Dreamers and welcome back to another Face Friday! And not just any Face Friday: this week we are doing a sequel to one of my most unexpected makeup looks, 50 Shades of Beige! That look was inspired by Mama Champagne being a smartass in my comments section, but it was fun to get out of my normally very colorful wheelhouse and try something new. And when the infamous Jeffree Star announced that he was launching a 30-pan, all matte, all neutral eyeshadow palette called the Orgy palette (plus a 9-pan Mini Orgy of complementary...
read more31 Days Of Halloween!
Ever since the world kinda sorta fell apart, and with this pandemic raging, I haven’t really been feeling like watching a ton of horror. But ready or not: spooky season is upon us, and I figured what better way to get into the “spirit” of things (yuk yuk) than to do the 31 Days of Halloween Challenge: watching 31 horror films through the month of October! I went through all of the streaming services that I belong to, as well as a couple of DVD options that I’ve been meaning to get to, and I initially created a list of...
