    Hot In The Hive: Eyeko Cosmetics Vintage Nail Polish (Looks ...

    Thinking back to the Chanel Fall 2009 runway show, I can't really recall any of the details other than the colors of the models' nails. Their bright jade green fingertips took my breath away and I knew it would be the next must-have nail polish color. Fast forward to present day and I'm still trying to find a suitable duplicate of the sold-out shade, so I have to say my heart raced more than a little when I encountered this tempting promotion from Eyeko Makeup. This super cute and affordable makeup company boasts a collection of eyeshadows, mascaras, lip glosses, and nail polish. I've tried their famous Eyeko Cream which gives me a iridescent glow when I don't feel like putting on any makeup. I've returned yet again, to snag a few of their latest nail polishes and discovered they have their own version of a jade green nail polish called Vintage. Best part? It's not even for sale! Instead, they're giving it away to anybody who buys 3 or more Eyeko products (which isn't hard to do). Just enter VINTAGE in the checkout box when you order by Monday 11/23!


    Price: free with purchase!

    Tone Down The Shimmer This Season With Matte Grey Makeup Shades

    Say so long to pearlescent gunmetal and chromed-out silvers -- matte grey is the hot beauty shade for the chilly season ahead! Matte nails have already taken the beauty world by storm, but now other makeup products are following in hot pursuit! From soft stone gray to rich chalky charcoal, there's something about matte grey that gives the face an unexpected warmer look than the more common frosty silver shades. While I've noticed that grey shadow seems to bring the best out of green peepers, it's hard to find someone who can't pull off a dark slate eyeliner in place of your basic black. Plus, mattifying your lids leaves room for shimmer elsewhere (ie: cheeks or lips) and helps ensure a balance so that your face doesn't end up looking like a shiny disco ball! Watch the slideshow for a series of grey shades to consider adding to your cosmetics collection!

    So far, we've given you lots of options for Halloween makeup, in case you're looking for an excuse to splurge on more dramatic products and shades you may normally not allow yourself to indulge in on any average day. But what if your beauty budget doesn't exactly allow for high-end costume-y makeup you know you'll never use again until it's way past its expiration date? Luckily, the lines carried at Sephora aren't the only ones boasting Halloween-friendly products -- bargain drugstore brands are going festive with their shades too. Wet 'N Wild's costume-specific line, Fantasy Makers, has just released their own mini-collection of R.I.P. Tombstone Nail Polish just for the spooky season. While the three different shades (shiny black, multicolored glitter, and a sheer glow-in-the-dark shade) are pretty "Halloweenie," they're inexpensive enough to be worth the splurge. Plus, the bottle is totally cute, in an appropriately morbid sort of way...

    Price: $2.50 each

    If you're not exactly the most handy with an eyeliner brush, or even if you can't tell the difference between an eyeliner brush or an eyeshadow applicator, you may normally skip past beauty aisles and counters out of fear of the unknown... or the likelihood that you'll end up looking like something out of a horror movie if left to your own devices with a collection of shades. Luckily, Halloween is the one time of year where that look just might work in your favor! Costume makeup doesn't discriminate between the cosmetics-challenged and the beauty adept; even if you're not looking to go out as a drag queen, it can be fairly easy to complement your costume with the right Halloween-appropriate makeup. Dark nail polish is always an easy way to get festive, or take the opportunity to go full-out glam with gilded eye foil. Or if you're really that helpless when it comes to self-beautifying, these wild ColorOn eyeshadow appliques practically do all the work for you! Take a look at the slideshow for some perfect beauty picks to either look frightening or fetching on your night out!

    Hot In The Hive: Spooky Nail Appliques By Dashing Diva

    When I was younger (too young to start destroying my stubby natural nails by getting routine acrylic manicures), I used to look forward to Halloween as a chance to break out the press-on nails and have glamorous (if not slightly terrifying) talons for a night. And now that I'm old enough to have long outgrown the bad habit of chomping on my tips, I have to say a part of me still loves the excuse to splurge on a full set at the salon, or even some nail art airbrushing if I'm feeling super "adventurous." But let's face it -- times are tough, and there are cheaper (and less messy) options out there other than hitting up the manicurist or trying your hand at those Nail Art pens this Halloween. Dashing Diva Design Nails come with a multi-sized set of press-on nails with festive designs like skulls and diamonds or a black French manicure. They're nice and thin, so they'll feel and look much more natural than the plasticky cheap-o ones at the drugstore, and they'll be less likely to pop off when you stick your hand in the candy bowl. Eek!


    Price: $10
