My Halloween Table Setup!

To complete my Halloween/Fall home decor for the season I wanted to spice up our dining room table. Here is a simple way to add something extra to your ordinary decor for the season.

I love the look of plants and natural inspired textures so I chose to incorporate black feathers and preserved dyed moss. The pop of purple the dyed moss brings really brightens up my black table. To add a little sparkle I tossed some crystals along the spread and it really finished off the look beautifully. Now for some witches brew!

I think I will call this witchy glam.

Halloween - The Raven

This look is a recreation of a handful of looks I've seen on Pinterest and Instagram. The combination reminded me of a raven and Mr. Poe's poem. I think it's a fun twist for Halloween and can be used for other costumes, not just a raven. I used two different liquid liners or the feathering around the eyes, fake lashes, and then added a Cailyn liquid lipstick in a metallic tarnished black gold color to add to the "midnight dreary" effect. To contour I used my new Lunatik Cosmetic Lab's contour palette (the grey shades). This was a dream for contouring!

Nevermore.

Halloween - Oh Deer!

This is actually a look I wore for Halloween last year but never shared it. I love how it came out! I know tons of bloggers and vloggers have posted various doe tutorials but I wanted to include this anyway. :)

It's a cute and fun look. I made my antlers by grabbing tree branches from outside and hot glueing them to a brown plastic headband. It worked great! A camo t-shirt and faux fur cardigan completed the look. My hubby even dressed up in all his camo to be my huntsman.

Halloween - Precious Metals

photo found on google

This look was inspired by a rainbow mineral rock I have. It's black but reflects a rainbow of different colors creating a witchy luminous look! I used Makeup Geek's new duo-chrome eyeshadows on top of black eyeshadow to create the same kind of effect on my eyes. Makeupgeek's duo-chrome shadows were also used for subtle contour, blush, and highlight on the face. As for foundation, I brought out a forgotten favorite - Kat Von D's LockIt Foundation. I forgot how awesome and airbrushed this foundation looks. For the lips I used Anastasia Beverly Hills Midnight liquid lipstick and placed Fyrinnae's Electromagnetic liquid lipstick on top for the iridescent black effect. I really love the outcome. It could be used for a bunch of different costumes or a night out if you are feeling adventurous!

Fall / Halloween Home Decor!

From now until Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the decorations, crisp air, family time, holidays, everything. That being said, when I get the first glimpse of Fall decor out in the stores, it's time for decorating! I went all out this year for Fall and Halloween in our house. I wanted to share what I've done so far to give you guys some ideas!

My style was very gothic glam. I love all the different textures in pumpkins I was able to find. JoAnn's had everything from feather pumpkins to sequins. I love to use texture in my everyday decorating so when I saw these it really inspired me for my Fall decor this year.

I found a lot of the items at TJMaxx, JoAnn's Fabric, Michael's Crafts, etc. so most everything is affordable! Michael's and JoAnn's always have coupons you can find online or in the newspaper plus sales on all their seasonal stock. So definitely check that out if you are looking for a great deal!
