Instead of counting down the days until Christmas every year
I now countdown to Halloween as I love dressing up and playing with SFX
cosmetics now.
In the bloggersphere events are really picking up and brands
really know how to throw a party.
This year NYX
had a stall at Melbourne’s Spooktober
Festival in St Kilda and invited a handful of influencers and bloggers
along to experience a VIP treatment (and get scared out of our skins)
literally!
I heard about Spooktober last year but never looked into it,
but now I have already got costume ideas for the family for next year and can’t
wait.
Wizz Fizz sponsored the event so there were plenty of little
stalls with Wizz Fizz treats and loved watching all the kids run around trick
or treating the stalls all dressed up.
Heading along with some girlfriends made it all the more fun
and I was glad the other Erin was just as much of a scaredy cat as me.
Before the haunted house opened we decided to branch off and
explore some of the Halloween themed carnival games. My favourite would have to
of been tossing zombie heads into a dunny- so much fun!
The highlight of the event had to be the Haunted House
although us girls only made it through one of the three mazes (Haunted Manor) and
were on edge every minute after stepping out of there. We had husky voices from
screaming by the end of it, but we all had a ball.
My zombie hunting squad (who were more likely to drop or run
then defend) were consisted of Erin, Cat and her sister.. I apologise to the
group for holding them up because maybe my knees got weak and dropped to the
floor, not once.. but twice! Oopsie daisies..
Afterwards we were headed upstairs (mind you checking every
corner waiting for something to come out screaming) to the bar, where NYX we’re kind enough to provide
some nibblies and drinks for us to help calm our nerves.
I think this time next year you might see quite a bit more
Halloween related posts and looks I create using my SFX goodies.
