🎃 Happy Halloween 2019 🎃

 Hello ladies and gents, 

Today I am finally getting my Halloween post...posted. lmfao
I could give you an assorted variety of reasons why I've been late to post this but truly,

it will not do anything but cause me to waste more of your precious time reading this darn thing. lmfao I think the best coarse of action would be to simply give you what you've come to see--Halloween tricks and treats~!

Google had a cute little banner for Halloween, too~

~SAMHAIN ON SOCIAL MEDIA~
On the day of Halloween, I took to the internet. I know that some people have a bittersweet relationship with social media (and the internet, in general) but I really do love it!! I love how it can connect like-minded people together from all over the globe. I also happen to love to see what other people do on such a glorious holiday such as this. From Google Search Engines to Facebook friend posts~ I love it all! Here are some of the highlights from the internet (as well as some stuff I did in the month of October, too!) If you don't follow me on any of my social networks then this will be new to you but if you do--let's rekindle that old Halloween feeling together~

Here is a screenshot of our local newspaper's Instagram! I made front cover...err...front post? lol

🎃🍂Autumnal Carnival Collection 2019🍂🎃--SNAKE WOMAN, GLUTTON & GLITTER BEARD LADY PERFUME OILS!

Hello boils and ghouls, I have quite the treat for you all today. 

Cult Fragrance x The Cannibal Carnival has come together again to create another collection.

Unlike the few before, this one is very close to my heart--

⭐The Autumnal Carnival Collection⭐

"Step right up! The freaks are just DYING to eat...I mean MEET you!
Experience each act! Thrill your senses! Bring out your inner freak!
Stand out from the crowd & smell good enough to EAT~!"

I am going to be showing you each bottle, explaining in further detail and giving you my take on the scents. What they smell like, how they work on my skin and how long they last. You must understand, these scents are no ordinary perfume. Each bottle is a different "act" in the carnival. Each important yet so very different. Alone, they are a spectacle to experience but together they will entice you to return and keep returning back to the carnival. One whiff and you're under the spell...I just hope you don't mind to loose...your mind~

🎪Captain Spaulding Inspired Makeup Look by Hannabal Marie🎪

"Howdy there, ladies and gents--freaks and geeks of all ages~

Are ya tired of life? Depressed? Does your minimum wage job get ya down?

❤️My August Birthday Shenanigans. [Childhood Thrift Store, Lion King Movie + Makeup Looks]❤️

Hello ladies and gents

For my birthday this year, it was more about rekindling old feelings 

and remembering my past than anything else.
Spending the time with my family and spoiling them, like they've been doing for me each and every year.

We visited some thrift stores. (surprise, surprise! lol) Watched the new release of The Lion King. (A childhood classic for me!) And ended the day with some Chinese food and an Ice Cream Bar. (The Chinese food was from a place we used to always get when I was a kid, too. Told ya it was going to be an all around "rekindling" fest! lol)

We actually went to see the movie a few days earlier, since my birthday fell on August 1st and the release date for the film was July 19th but we ended up watching it on the 29th! (The tickets sold pretty quick, apparently!) This was a surprise from my family, so I had absolutely no idea we were going to see this. I'm so happy I did, it was AMAZING!

💀Zombie Walk 2018💀 | Hannabal Marie

Me and my posse! 

Hello ladies and gents

Zombie Walk 2018 was, by far, one of my favorite Zombie Walks I have ever attended.
I am assuming that's because the city has decided to come be apart of this event and take it under their wing by calling it the 'Zombie Walk & Halloween Faire' which allows more people to do more things aside from the usual "Zombie" that everyone has been doing.
Which can get quite boring after the 100th zombie infected wound makeup look. Trust me, it does.

With more to offer and more to costume up as, it has given my little hometown something to finally call it's own. 

Of course, there are a few bad apples but this year--one or two didn't spoil the whole bunch. 

So many kind people dressing up as all sorts of fun little things--

like an UFO abductee, Dinosaurs and so many clowns!!!!!!!! 

I felt right at home this year, which is saying heaps from years past!

The clown nose that started it all. 

As I have made clear, to those who have been following me elsewhere, I have been waiting patiently for this day to arrive because my Zombie Walk costume was one I have been dying to dress up as...

A big o' inflatable clown! 

🍇 2018 Lodi Grape Festival 🍇 // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents,
I decided to go with my family to the annual Lodi Grape Festival.
This would be my second time attending this event,

but this was the first time for my brother and the rest of my family. 

So, it was indeed a special occasion.

It completely changed from when I first went, which was around 2008 with a friend after school. 

My experience, at the time, kept me from ever attending the years following after that.

Not that it was bad, it just wasn't worth the money at the time to go on a few rides.
There really wasn't much to do around that time unlike now.

This year was different. 

It actually was bigger and greater, in comparison. 

So much more to do and see. 

The prices are a bit ridiculous (It's a festival, so what did I expect? lol) 

but the experience was a pleasant one. 

AND I got to pet so much animals in the petting zoo.
Which was an extremely nice touch for those who couldn't afford any wrist-bands or purchase anything other than their ticket to get in. 

They do offer free ticket entrees but if you do decide to attend on the free days, 

expect a lot of riff-raff and a ton of fights. 

At least, that's how it was when I went the last time with my friend for free. 

It might have changed, like it did when I went today but who knows.
Why take the chance, ya know? 

Clown Doll Hugs (A welcome to the family I am collecting!) // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

Today is a mini photoshoot with some of my dolls I recently got at various thrift store trips.

I just want to say that I am sooooo damn happy I got to find and own all of the dolls I seen total.

I was so scared that they'd cost a fortune when I seen them and in my head, 

I was narrowing down my fav of the three...

but when I seen the price they were selling them at, I nabbed them all at once. lol

Anywho, I could rant and rant about nothing all day but I shall just skip the introductions and go straight into the showcase. 

Thrift Haul: Tom Waits Postcards, Antique Music Dolls & A Vtg Wedding Gown // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I come bringing another lovely haul for you guys and gals.

This post will showcase some amazing finds, such as:
A vintage wedding dress, Tom Waits postcards, Antique music dolls and fitted T's. 

Enough with pointless blabber.
I will just jump right into the showing. 

Birthday Balloon Bufoon // Hannabal Marie

My birthday was August 1st 

I had a lovely party with my family and one thing (among the vast amounts I got!) 

was a bunch of balloons. 

They have been sitting in my room, deflating a bit, so I thought I would do something with them.
Just a small something to get the occasion on photo.

So, I did a tiny little photoshoot using them.

Nothing fancy, just messing around with my oddness. 

I hope you like it and understand the significance behind the photos...because I don't. lol

I just did want I felt and they came out pretty good. 

I don't know, just felt like flopping on a messy wig and playing with my balloons.
Heh, that sounds gnaughty. lol

I like this one. Like youth lost to the wind. idk but yeah, looks nice.

This is how I feel inside my head. lol

That's pretty much it.
Just messing around and having fun with my deflating balloons.
xoxo

🤡 Send In The Clowns 🤡 (My Obsessive Compulsive Collecting Of Clowns!) // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I bring you another collective clown haul.
As I mentioned in previous clown hauls, I like to collect them.  (Not *like*, LOVE!)

Why? I don't know. I just do. 

I feel extremely connected to clowns. (or clownish things!)

ever since I was a young little thing, I have always been drawn to the concept of the clown.
Also, the fact a lot of people hate them makes me love them more...maybe it's the rebel inside of me that likes to go against what others hate but I have always and will always love clowns.

They are my obsession and I tend to find a lot in my local thrift shop--so, why not? lol

Where I live, I always find at least one or two clowns every other day.
I don't know why but someone (or a collected amount of someone's) like to drop off clowns at this specific thrift store because I always end up finding something clownish/circus/carnival related here.

which makes me giggle, someone owned these at one point...
now I have them, so I have become that person. hehee

Anywho, how's that for an intro?

I will shutty and start showing you my images of the clownish wares I now own! 

 I got a few clownish goodies, so here is a sneak peek at what you shall seeeeee!

☞ HUGE Collective Clown Haul // Hannabal Marie

Clowns are one thing I collect like it's going out of style.

I have a lot of different goals in life, some small and some relatively huge.
But the biggest goal for me in life is obtaining every clown known to man--so that when I die, I can be placed alongside all my various clowns and we can be buried together. 

Can you imagine opening up my coffin one day to find me on top of all those colorful clowns? 

It would be quite the sight, I'll admit. lol

The following haul I will be showing you has been obtained from June 1st to now.
Just checking back and forth at various different thrifting shops to take a peek at their wares.
So, one day I'll find a single item--the next, two.
So on and so forth until I have too much to post, like right now. hahaaa

I'm sorry, I suck at updating pages and profiles--so, you'll have to take it with a smile. lol

That's what I love about thrifting--you'll never know what you'll find the next day.
Who knows, tomorrow I might be posting ANOTHER huge clown-related haul because my biggest weakness is walking away from a clown item when I have the money and means to make the purchase. lol 

Anywho, enough with my rants and rambles--I'll keep you reading until your eyes get sore, so let us get into the showcasing.
I am going to be sectioning out this haul in categories.
I have Music Boxes, Dolls and "Other". 

🎪 Joe Lee's LeGrande Circus & Sideshow Tarot Review 🎪 // Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

I have a real treat for you today.
I was sent these lovely Circus & Sideshow Tarot Cards for evaluation.
I am forever grateful because I collect both of these things--Tarot cards AND Circus memorabilia. 

So, when I found out about these beautiful cards, I instantly became obsessed to the point this review HAD to be made! 

☺ My Clown Collection ☺ // Hannabal Marie

Hellou ladies and gentlefish

A while back I made a video about my clown collection, thus far.

A lovely friend requested to see some of my toys/items and so I went ahead and sated their curiosity! (along with some of you, too!)

I collect clowns of all types; toys, dolls, posters, old magazines, ect.
I also collect circus/carnival themed things as well.
aside from clownish stuff, I also happen to collect other stuff too;
Like Oddities, Wet Specimens, Taxidermy, Obituaries, Books, Clothing, Shoes, Other toys, Makeup, Tom Waits stuff, ect.
(All of which will become videos themselves, soon enough! 
Some even have already been shown and some are a dream of mine for which I must first acquire them before I can collect them. Le sigh!)

But as I made known in my video,
My clown collection is just like my clothing collection...

The more I live, the more I shall acquire more items! hahaa.
My clowns are one thing, among many things, that shall forever keep growing.

Everything should be covered in the video, so I hope you enjoy.
otherwise as I mentioned above, I will and plan to continue this collection until I croak!

xoxo

Halloween 2012/Halloween makeup look

Hello Everybody, 

I wanted to post for so long but I just couldn't get around to it because of The Zombie Walk and Halloween. 

I still need to wait for all of the Zombie Walk images to come to me but I have a little post for you today in regards to Halloween. 

 I spent my Halloween with a group of friends, we hung out. . .scared random strangers by messing with them on the street and while they were eating in restaurants. I met up with a very handsome Killer Klown. <3

I'm going to just go ahead and post some pix and talk about them whilst doing so. 

Here it is:

Halloween 2012

Maléfique Clownette

Hello Ladies And Gents,

I Come Baring A Gift. . .A Makeup Gift. . .

Today I Have For You A Bit Of My Personal Obsession. . . CLOWNS!

Before I Describe My Own Take On This Look, I Wish To First State That I Completely Recreated A Fellow Makeup Artist 100%, Miss Beccy Bex!
I Seen Her Look And HAD To Recreate It For Personal Purposes! So Here It Is, Along With My Own Story Of What I Think Its About:

To Me It's Like A Mix Of Clowns With A Porcelain Doll. . .And Then With Crazy Smearing Lipstick And Tear Trails! xD I Named This Creation "Maléfique Clownette" Simply Because Both The Words Are Basically Stating "Evil Female Clown" And That's What This Clown-Like Gal Reminds Me Of. . .A Evil Porcelain Doll Thingy! xD 

Because She Wouldn't Be The Type To Give Hugs And Candy. . .Unless It Came With A Death Sentence, Of Course! ;D 

Anywho, The Products Used In This Look Goes As Follows:

-White Homemade Cake Paint

-White Loose Powder From Airspun

-Liquid Eyeliner In Black

-Black/Baby Blue/White Eyeshadow

-Black Pencil Liner For Minor Detailing And Lip Lining

-Baby Pink Lipstick From Some Kiddie Makeup Kit

-Red Lipstick For The Smear Action

Anywho, Here Are The Pix:

Live Like No One Cares, Laugh Like No One's Watching, And Love Like Their Is No Tomorrow!

Bella Glam'Amour

Hello Ladies And Gents,
Today I Have A Look That Was Created By The Talented Miss Roseshock. I Only Wanted To Recreate It Using ELF Products And Whatever I Had Around The House. She's Been And Always Will Be The Main Inspiration Behind My Love For Dramatic Things. Aside From THAT, This Look She Create NEEDED A "Origin". . .A Unique Story Behind It. So Here Is Where I Came In:

 I Call It "Bella Glam'Amour" Simply Because Of What Both The Words Define. . .Bella= Beautiful, And Glam'amour= Glamour. . .but that's self explanatory! xD 

Many Women Strive For Beauty, It's In Our Nature. . .Thus Being, Makeup Is A Source That Us Women Find As A Way To Help Make Us Feel "Beautiful" (Hence The Word "BELLA")

On This Journey To Create This "Beauty" I Simply Come To The Realization That No Matter What I Do, I Will Always Find A Flaw In Myself. . .Thus Being, The Pink Tear Trails Running Down My Cheeks! 

But Its In These Small Flaws That True Beauty Is Formed. . .Which Slightly Contradicts Myself In The End. . .But We All Make Minor Mistakes Every Now And Again, Right? These "Flaws" Or "Beautiful Mistakes" Are What Makes Us All Unique And Different. . .And Beautiful And Glamorous! (Hence "Glam'Amour") 

The Products I Used:

-Brown Eye Liner For Brows

-Liquid Black Eyeliner

-Black/Pink/White/Green/Purple Eye Shadow

-Deep Burgundy Lipstick And A Maroon LipGloss!

-Brown Contouring Powder And White Ivory Pressed Powder

-Ivory Cream Foundation

-And Of Course, (This Is A Must), Primer!!!!!

Now That THAT Is Out Of The Way, On To The Look:

A thing of beauty is a joy for ever:

Its loveliness increases; it will never

Pass into nothingness.

Emilie Autumn Makeup Look

EMILIE AUTUMN

This Is Basically My *Inspiration* Look BASED On Emilie Autumn. . .

I Am A QUEEN Of Dramatic Makeup Thus Being I HAD To Incorporate THAT Into My Look. . .

Miss Emilie Herself Lacked Enough Depth In Her Look For Me (No Hate; Just Her Look, To Me, Is Like My Everyday Wear. . .Nothing To Flashy-Flashy) So I Had To Create A More Theatrical Design And Of Course, Add GLITTER!!! 

The Products I Used Goes As Follows:

-Homemade White Cake Face Paint

-White Loose Powder From Airspun

-Dolly Eyelashes

-White/Red/Black/Pink Eyeshadow (I Also Used The Pink Shadow As Blush)

-Liquid Eyeliner

-Rinestones For That Extra Glitz & Glamour

-Red/Pink Lipstick

So That Basically Sums Up What I Used. . .I Am Not Much Of A Person Who Can Do Step-by-Step Processes Because I Feel That I'm Merely Showing Of My Artwork To You. . .I Am In No Way, Shape, Or Form Trying To Come Off As A Makeup Guru. . .But If I Inspire Someone, I Would Be More Than Honored and Humbled! But I Am Much Like A Magician. . .You Simply Couldn't Ask Them To Reveal Their Secrets. . .That's For Them To Know And You To Continue AWE-ING and OOO-ING At! 

Anywho, HERE IS MY CREATION:

A Close-Up Of My Eyes!

I Even Went As Far As Dressing Up. . .You MUST Always Go All Out. . .

Wigs, Costumes, Props ALWAYS Make The Look!

“Perfume was first created to mask the stench of foul and offensive odors...
Spices and bold flavorings were created to mask the taste of putrid and rotting meat...
What then was music created for?
Was it to drown out the voices of others, or the voices within ourselves?
I think I know.”

 “Awareness is the enemy of sanity, for once you hear the screaming, it never stops.”

 “I smile to myself knowing that they may be dead.”

 And For Your Personal Entertainment. . .A Crappy Gif:

 

 Thanks For Reading And Viewing

xoxo
