Some spooky fairytale characters to help a heart attack!

Some blood lipstick anyone?

Haunted Castle?! Yes please! I'll take two of those!

A bit windy, isn't it?

We're kicking things off with a bunch of inspiring Halloween makeup ideas to build your Halloween costume around - I personally think that's an easy way to end up wearing something amazing and original!

Absolutely stunning Halloween makeup - evil forest fairy! And how about that headpiece mask?!

Yet another great and popular Halloween makeup idea - be a witch! The secret is the eyes makeup - they hold the magic !

A cool Halloween costume idea for all the pop culture lovers is dressing like a comic book character! Here's the make-up to match!

The ever so popular zombie/skeleton Halloween make-up!

Some inspiring Halloween makeup pictures for evil/good fairytale princesses!

...and the creepy Lana Del Rey nails to match!

Dia De Los Muertos make-up and costume! These are utterly spooky!

The white queen!

I couldn't exclude the Halloween vampire makeup because, let's face it, we all want eternal life and extraordinary beauty (that's the promise according to Twilight and The Vampire Diaries:))))

The next section is a visual list of the best Halloween costumes I've seen lately! When it comes to adults Halloween costumes, I'm obviously attracted to something creative or at least something that makes you/me look hot without being too sluty and graphic! That being said, here is what caught my eye this year around the World Wide Web.

Firstly we have a very intriguing Half Man - Half Woman costume!

...and a seductive mourning widow!

If you're into sexy Halloween costumes then an evil Snow White version in mustard over the knee tights and a lace body suit is the way to go! I love the red bow headband and huge knife as accessories. I'm also in love with this fairytale queen mask makeup - flawless!

If you want to include actual fashion trends into your Halloween costume try dressing up like a baroque doll at Deadman's Ball!

Another easy and fashion forward Halloween costume that doesn't compromise your hotness is an eye goddess!

The best life sized Victor Van Dort from Burton's movie Corpse Bride (which I'm obsessed with by the way) I have ever seen!

And how about a truly original Halloween costume - dress as Harley Quinn, Joker’s Bitch!

I don't have kids and don't plan on having any time soon, but these kids Halloween costumes are so adorable, I couldn't help it! Kids have the best time on Halloween when even the grown ups resort to games, candy and magic!

Cute owl tutu dress and headband!

The most beautiful mini Little Red Riding Hood in the world and an unbearably cute ladybug baby Halloween costume!

More kids Halloween costumes - Ariel, the little mermaid and a very energetic rocket boy taking off!

Alice in Wonderland - the extra sweet variety!

My heart can't take the amount of adorable in this picture: you can't really blame the wolf for trying to eat Little Red Riding Hood if she looked like this, can you?!

Wednesday Addams pre Halloween outfit

It’s not Halloween yet, but I do feel the creepy vibe – hence this Halloween inspired outfit that I put together without actually realizing I was channeling some serious Wednesday Addams. Well, my sister told me it’s more of a ~~sluty~~ sultry nun look (you know, the American Horror Story kind of nun), but I’m going to go with Wednesday Addams for the sake of my pristine reputation :)))).

Granted the dress is too short for my tall frame, but it’s so damn cute with its white Peter Pan collar and cuffs that I put it on anyway. I’m still wearing the gold bats necklace in the picture as I’m typing this – goes really well with my very stylish and grown up teddy bears pajamas – I will probably wear it tomorrow to work and there is a chance it’s going to naturally attach to my skin.:))))

You might also notice the Halloween nails – I don’t really know what I was going for, but just so you know, the red on the tips is supposed to be blood, the yellow base I already had on and I thought it would work.

I’m such a rule breaker wearing white ankle boots past Labor Day, right!!! Seriously now, they are called Astro boots – how could one resist?

The white tuxedo jacket was a last minute detail - I thought it would add a little bit of classy into the mix - not that I need much help with that being such a lady myself!:))))))))))
