Glam Ghouls 2020: Is Peachy Queen’s Halloween Palette A Sweet Dream…Or A Beautiful Nightmare?!
Hello again Champagne Dreamers, and welcome to my final Halloween-themed makeup review of 2020! What a shit year this has been, so it only seems appropriate that the performance of this last palette is…less than ideal. Don’t get my wrong: I generally like Peachy Queen, and I have quite a few of their palettes (you can check out some of my previous reviews of their products HERE, HERE, and HERE!) but this Sweet Dreams palette was just not the business. I got a fairly decent look out of it for my last Face Friday post, and as...

Hello again Boils & Ghouls – I’m back with another frighteningly fierce Halloween makeup look! Whether you’re spending Halloween alone in bed, alone on the couch, or alone crying in the tub and eating all of those fun size Snickers bars, this Nightmare on Elm Street inspired look featuring two Peachy Queen palettes is just what the sleep doctor ordered! I love red and green together, and it’s very NOES, but it’s hard to do a red and green look without looking like some sort of Christmas monstrosity. And...
read moreMerch Queen: Limited Edition Sticker Packs Available Through Atomic Cotton!
Hey there Champagne Dreamers! You may have noticed in some of my recent videos that I’ve been talking about Atomic Cotton – an indie t-shirt business owned by my friends Erica and Zack Kauffman. I love their work, and a good portion of my everyday wardrobe is from their site. In addition to the shirts and face masks on their regular site, they also sell a wide variety of stickers through their Etsy shop, so I teamed up with them to offer some limited edition Janessa Jaye Champagne sticker packs!...

Miss Jaye is back at it with another horror-related video just in time for Halloween: this time our Trash Queen of Glam, Geek, & Gore is counting down her ten favorite horror movie deaths! This list includes some outrageous, over the top kills that have to be seen to be believed! The list includes movies like Scream, Ghost Ship (yes, THAT scene!), Bride of Chucky, and of course Miss Jaye’s all-time favorite slasher film, Sleepaway Camp! And if you missed last week’s video, that one was a full exploration of Miss...
read moreCan Melt Cosmetics Convince This Grouchy Gen Xer To Embrace Millennial Pink?
When it comes to packaging and color stories, Melt Cosmetics just kinda gets me. Their packaging is different with every release, but it’s always well designed and often gorgeous: whether you loved or hated the quality, every person on the planet mentioned how stunning the Amor Eterno palettes packaging was! The She’s In Parties palette has a simple, elegant design while the Radioactive palette is neon and bright and shimmering with glitter. Some products include interesting and often intricate embossing (it ranges from a...

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...
