๋࣭🕸๋࣭ ⭑Halloween Haul ๋࣭🕸๋࣭ ⭑

Every year I like to do some Halloween shopping to add new things to my decor and this year was no exception. I have too many things, including many random trinkets. I really wanted to buy things that were a little bit more useful without loosing the spooky vibe cuz, even tho I love decorating, I also like to keep my house functional.

I'm gonna start with 2 things I bought last year when spooky season was over  and didn't have the chance to use/display. These two are from Prichos, which is a kind of dollar store you can find in some Walmart stores over here. 

First, we have this cute witch hat candle. I totally forgot I had it until I started decorating this year. It is pretty simple, yet cute. It's black with some silver details. It has this sublte incense scent. Honestly, I just want it for decoration, I don't thing I'll ligth it. It's pretty, I'd feel bad.

Next we have this black oven glove (not sure if that's the right name~) with cute ghosties all over it. I believe this was the collection Prichos had last year. I'm slowly trying to buy more Halloween kitchen stuff to use during the season so, yeah. I wish I could've bought matching kitchen towels too.

Now, let's move on to the things I bought this year.

I initially wanted this bat liquid soap dispenser for the bathroom but I realized it was too big so I decided to keep it in the kitchen. They had a skull and a ghost too but when I went back to get another one, they were gone. It is plastic but the quality isn't bad.

How cool is this spider vase? I fell in love with it when I first saw it and went back to get it a couple of weeks later. I didn't plan it but, it was destiny, haha. I love it because it matches the spider tablecloth I recently bought.

This has to be one of my favorites this year, a Nightmare before Christmas wine bottle top. I saw these at Walmart and automatically knew I needed. It came in a set of two, I'm keeping one and giving the other away as part of the Halloween pressies this year. It is something I'll use all year long, not only this season.

I decided to upgrade my tablecloth this year! Hehe. I used to buy those plastic ones and, even tho they were durable, I defo think the house looks better with a nicer one. This one has spiders and cobwebs all over it. I have to admit, it looks a little elegant and I love it! They had a matching table run but I only saw it once, I wanted to buy both but, I couldn't find it anymore.

Lastly we have Thing from The Addams Family (more like from Wednesday in this case). I've been an Addams fan since I was a small girl and my first idea was to get it to complete a Halloween pressie but then, checking Amazon, I found 2 for the same price I saw a smaller version so yeah, it was too good to resist.

Even tho it looks slighly different from the pics online, I think it looks great! It is made out of latex, has a very realistic size and good details. It's a great prop and I loooove how it looks standing next to my decor this year.

And, that is it for now. I've been buying other things for pressies that I might share later in the month. I'm sure I'll buy more things for my house too so there could be a second Halloween haul post or, I'll just save them for next year. We'll see! 

Welch's Halloween Fruit Snacks 🦇

To continue with with some fun and delish seasonal snacks that are perfect for the month, here are the Welch’s Mixed Fruit Halloween Snacks, I've been enjoying them since the Summer to have a little bit of a Summerween kind of thing, haha.

We all know how yummy Welch's gummies are, but I find these extra special because of the halloween shapes and the presentation on the box.

The bestie and I decided to share the 85 pouches box but I think this particular presentation is perfect for parties, trick or treaters or Halloween goodie bags. These are from Costco but I've seen a smaller verion at Walmart and, I'm sure you can find them online too.

Each pouch comes with 6-7 gummies in the shape of a pumpkin, witch, bat, ghost and a haunted house. Love them, they are way too cute!

Close-up to the gummies. They are absolutely cute! I tried to picture the best ones I could find. Sometimes they just look like blobs. Hehe.

As we know, these gummies are made with real fruit. The Halloween snacks come in 5 different flavors: grape, peach, orange, strawberry and raspberry. The peach one has to be my fav!

And well, this is a pretty short (and random) post cuz there's not much to say about gummies! Plus, I think most of you already know them but, I thought it'd be a cute thing to add to the favorite season posts here on the blog. 

Wish you all a very happy and fun spooky season!🦇

🪲 Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Haunted Apple Fanta 🪲

 I waited a little to share this drink because I thought it'd be the perfect way to welcome spooky month. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is out and I couldn't be happier. I've been a Beetlejuice fan since I was a girl, I love the first movie and also the animated series. My sister and I would watch them on TV and rent (yeah, that's how old we are~~~~) them over and over. 

Watching the new movie was the perfect way to welcome the Fall season! And I have to say, I really, really liked it! It was everything I expected, it had things I didn't see coming and we just loved how they kept the essence of the first movie, even including some lo-fi stop motion sequences. My 90's inner girl couldn't be happier.

Moving on, every year I like to try Fanta's Halloween flavors, they are fun and you know, I love trying seasonal stuff. This year, as the name says, it is green apple flavor. I like everything green apple so it was a yay for me, haha. It is super green, totally Beetlejuice but, honestly, flavor is nothing out of the ordinary. I think I've tried more interesting ones other years. It tastes like those green apple gummy rings without the sour part. Like I said, it's good but there's no mystery to it.  

The presentation we got over here is a 235ml can. I've seen a bottle version online but dunno if I'll ever find it, hehe.

I've seen the cans in the U.S. and I love how they have the characters on it. Here we just got a striped can in Bettlejuice's classic colors: Black and white and a hint of green. Not complaining tho, I really like it but, I wish I could get other characters too! At least a Lydia one since she's always been my fav.

This Fanta comes with a QR code that takes you to their official site and I believe you can (or could) get free tickets for the movie or something like that.

I'd love to see more brands having collabs with Beetlejuice soon. For now, I'll keep buying my haunted apple sodas as part of October's vibe.

Tell me! Have you tried this Fanta yet? If so, what did you think?

Have a fun and spooky month guys, see ya! 🖤

Fall scents: Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Scented Candle 🕯️

I received this candle as a pressie from my sister's bestie last December and since I didn't share it back then, but now is be the right time to do it since, it is a perfect Fall scent!

It's the Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin Scented Candle with cinnamon, clove, and brown sugar notes that makes it the perfect Fall scent. It really smells like pumpkin spice!

The jar is super cute, it screams Fall and well, it also works as a decoration item. Love it. Something I really like about Bath & Body Works products is the quality. The smell of these candles is strong and amazing! It really fills the room just by opening the jar.

I've lit the candle a couple of times before, even when it was not Fall but, I'm fully enjoying it now. It makes my apartment feel so cozy!

What are your favorite Fall scents? 🍂

🍂🎃 Pumpkin Spice Yummies Mini Haul 🎃🍂

Autumn is officially here and we all know what that means, it's pumpkin spice season! You can call me basic but, I couldn't be more excited. I am super ready for cozy sweaters, hot drinks and spooky vibes so, let's welcome the season with a pumpkin spice mini haul.

It's been kinda cool cuz these special / limited edition products are new this year. At least where I live. I know that in the U.S. pumpkin spice products are everywhere so, it's nice to see more brands releasing pumpkin yummies.

Look at all that orange in one picture~!🧡

Let's start with some candy. Actually one of my friends discovered these and told me about them, I knew I had to go get them right away. I've known both products for years now but I just discovered (and only because I wondered why the presentation was the same) they are from the same brand, Arcor.

Bon o Bon are chocolate candies with wafer and a filling I can't really remember cuz, even tho I don't dislike them, I just don't buy them as often. This time they have pumpkin spice filling.

The bag comes with 10 chocolates but I think there's a bigger presentation too. I was actually surprised cuz, I really, really liked them! The pumpkin spice filling isn't super sweet so it goes well with the chocolate. They are perfect to enjoy with a cup of coffee.

I really like Butter Toffees and I do buy them often. I think I've tried most of the flavors they have. I especially like the chokko mint and chokko cherry toffees. My grandpa loves them too. This bag comes with 30 toffees, more than the ones I usually get.

The smell of these is super strong! You can smell the spices as soon as you open the bag. The taste is also very strong. It's a mix between caramel, pumpkin and spices. They are addictive! Haha. Once you start eating them, you can't stop!

Moving on, we have these two coffee creamers from Coffee Mate. We all know I love my PSL and I really like the idea of being able to make myself some at home too. I got the 2 presentations they had at Walmart.

The first is this liquid coffee creamer, I was especially excited to try it. It's not overly sweet but it does have enough sugar to give your coffee a nice, sweet taste. You can defo taste the spices but, I am not sure if what I taste is pumpkin spice or if it's more like a chai... either way, I loved it!

The other one I got is the powder creamer(?). It is very similar to the liquid one but less sweet. It does add that Fall-ish taste to your drink but I do suggest adding some sugar if you want a sweeter drink. 

And that is that for this mini haul. Like I said, it's exciting to see more pumpkin spice products in stores now. 

Hope you all have a wonderful Autumn~!🧡

💋 My Current Favorite Lippies💄

It's been a while since my last makeup related post. Thing is, even tho I still love makeup, I rarely buy new products anymore. I'm trying to stick to what I have rn and restock whenever I run out of something. That's why I've been going back to the lippies I already had (which are too many).

I realized that the ones I'm reaching out for the most are very, very similar so, I kinda wanted to share them in here cuz they are very neutral, nude-ish, my lips but better kinda shades that can work all year long, no matter the season. At least in my opinion, hehe.

Since they are 2 liquid and 2 creamy lippies, I decided to divide them and start with the liquid lippies.

🗢 Revlon Colorbust "Sunbaked" (044)

This one is a liquid lippie I bought a while ago. To me, it is mix of pink and brown with a hint of purple.

Packaging is pretty simple but I like the quilted effect on the lid. I like the applicator, it helps you control the amount of product you apply, it makes it clean and easy. 

It keeps the lips moisturized and improves the texture of the lips. The color is lighter than what it looks like once you apply it, it is kinda sheer too but it does give you a hint of a tint. I like it because it's very lightweight and it's not sticky. It doesn't have a special scent to it, which is good for those who aren't too happy with scents.

Something I noticed tho, is that this product (and the whole line) is discontinued, guess I won't be able to repurchase once I run out of it.

🗢 Revlon Ultra HD Vinyl Lip Polish "Birthday Suit" (925)

Yes, I still have a Wonder Woman edition but, you can find this shade in the normal version too. I love this one, loved it since the first time my friend bought it and it's been one of my favs ever since. 

Even tho it is similar to the Colorbust lippie, this one is slighty pinkier and has less of a brownish tone to it. Plus it's not as sheer and it's more pigmented.

The formula applies smoothly and doesn’t settle into lip lines. It's a little creamy and shiny, which makes my lips look fuller. I usually get many compliments when I'm wearing it.

It contains vitamin E and shea butter, and you can get an even color with just 1 swipe. It does have a scent to it tho,  to me it smells like vanilla and I really like it.

Now let's move on to the creamy lipsticks.

🗢 CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick "Sultry" (200)

I got this one a while ago, I've used it a lot, it's one of those lippies I think are perfect for every occasion. As you can see, the shade is very similar to the sunbaked one, I used to wear them together when I wanted a glossy look. It is also slightly brownish.

This lipstick is super pigmented and creamy. It applies smoothly on the lips and it doesn't set into the lip lines. You can build up the color if you want.

Durability wise, it's great. I like it because I don't have to worry about retouching it for a while. It does have a slight sweet scent to it. I can't really describe it but, I really don't mind.

🗢 Sephora #Lipstories "Oui!" (3)

Lastly, we have this beautiful baby. I haven't talked about presentation much cuz the others are pretty simple but this one is cute! All these lippies have a  packaging made of cardboard (I think) and depending on the shade, they have different designs inspired by stories on social media. This one has some hangers with pastel/pink dresses. Very girly!

The color is a warm-toned pink with a creamy finish. Again, kinda similar to the "birthday suit" one. I didn't choose them on purpose, hehe. It is lightweight, creamy and hydrating. I love it but, this one does set on the lip lines so, I always try to apply some lipbalm before.

Lol

And well, those are my 4 most used and current fav lippies. I just found it funny how similar they were. I know some people go for darker shades during Fall-Winter but I think I look way paler when I go for those colors. Idk. I do like to try something different every now and then tho.

I guess that is that for this post, it was fun taking the lippies pics and swatches! It has been a while! Anyway, I'll see you in the next one~! 💋
