[13 Days of Halloween] Day 5 - Cruelty Free & Creepy Cosmetics

It is so cool to find makeup nowadays that is not only unusual with their color choices but also cruelty free and vegan. A decade ago it was harder to find cool cosmetics that satisfied my dark side as well as lived up to my cruelty free checklist. Here are a few of my fave companies and product picks that keep me looking drop dead spooky!


Makeup Monster's Cosmetics: I love their liquid lipsticks. They make some lovely gray shades such as Wolfsbane - a fave of mine. 100% vegan line.

My Pretty Zombie Cosmetics: I heard of MPZ before checking out their booth at Sinister Creature Con but had brought anything. They have some pretty shade shifting colors and wear nicely. They get bonus points for helping cats in need through SNAP CATS. Vegan products marked.

Melt Cosmetics: Has really great colors for the eyes and lips. Their stack in Rust is something I use daily. The quality of their products us top notch so do not let the price tag turn you off. Vegan products marked.

Lunatics Cosmetic Labs: Home of the coffin shaped eyeshadow palettes! The Supernatural collection is perfect for daily use. The colors blend nicely. The lipsticks go on sheer and I like layering them over matte colors. 100% vegan.

Medusa's Makeup: Has great long lasting lipsticks that I really like. Their highlighters are really great and I use them pretty much daily. I subscribe to their monthly box and love the full sized products I have gotten. Vegan products marked switching over to 100% vegan.

[Creepmas] Day 11 - Decorate Your Creepmas Tree

Matt asked if we planned on putting up our mini tree this year - I replied "umm.....cats". The cats would not let us have a tree. It is okay - I have them! If I had a tree these ornaments would be on them for sure.

CrafTGram has the cutest crochet skulls to decorate your tree. I love their lil faces.

I need these glass tombstone suncatcher ornaments by QTSG in my life. I just need to find a cat free zone so they will not break.

This hanging bat chick ornament by builderstudio is awesome! It has a steampunk feel and really creepy cool!

Bring bugs into your house - faux bugs that is! I love this creepy cool beetle! It would go well with all my other insect goodies!

If you are feeling crafty you can make your own. I bought some blank wooden ornaments, painted them, added fabric detail with Mod Podge and puff paint. I did not like the jute cord that was on the ornament when I bought it so I replaced it with a red and white corded ribbon I bought in the $1 section.

Faux Entomology - DIY Creepy Home Displays

I recently bought a bag of plastic beetles in hopes of getting to do something crafty with them. In the past I made beetle jewelry and this time around I put one aside for that but I wanted to try something new.
I had a bunch of small frames I bought for another project that never happened - you know how that goes right? The frames are the perfect size to showcase my new plastic beetle collection.
I cut out the plastic protective covering with an craft knife - it is in place of the glass. I used the photo template to trace some random scraps of paper I had in my paper pile to fit the frame. I glued the paper onto the cardboard backing and secured it in place. I then used a heavy duty glue to attach the bugs - my first go around was using a glue gun and the bugs dropped off. I let them dry and they are ready to hang gallery style or perched on an end table.Creepy perfection with a cute kick!

I really enjoy fabric shopping - but I love fabric shopping at this time of year. I love finding skull fabric and dia de los muertos fabric!
