🎨 My Paper Mache Creations 🎨 | Hannabal Marie

My babies! 

Hello ladies and gents

I have been doing some cleaning and rearranging for the Halloween season 

and I stumbled onto a box full of some of my Paper Mache creations 

I have made throughout the years. 

Some are from last year, a few are from years prior.
I took them out to gawk at and felt compelled to take some photos 

and share with the likes of those who give a damn. 

I love all of them so so much!

🎃🐶Halloween Haul Pt. 4--Dog Toys & Halloween Makeup! (99 Cents Store/Walmart)🐶🎃 | Hannabal Marie

The bunch of stuffs I got this round.

Hello ladies and gents,

I just came back from shopping (Yet again! haha) 

and I gathered some stuff to post today. 

As I already made clear and will probably keep repeating in every. single. post--

This is the ONLY time of year I am THIS active. lol

Not even going to hide it. 

I don't care much for any other holiday, 

despite the love I do have for decorating for every occasion...

no other holiday on the face of this earth can or will ever make me go crazy 

quite as well as Halloween does. 

I didn't have a lot of money on hand today, just a few bucks.
But as is the ritual, you must gather what you can when you can gather it. lol

I seen some makeup there that I will surely bulk buy when I get paid but I just wanted to test out the quality of the makeup beforehand.

So, this post is just consisting of trial things. Is it worth it, is it not?
I will let you guys know and if I like what I bought, I'll go ham next pay day! lol

I seen nailpolishes in multiple colors. I'm hoping that the polish isn't sheer because I don't quite like sheer polishes. Unless I plan to put it on top of another bold color.
I hope the eyeshadow palattes are pigmented and that the lippie is matte.
A lot of hoping, so here we go!

♥️ Le Noir Bazaar "Mystery Box" Unboxing/Showcase ♥️ | Hannabal Marie

All the goodies I got from my mystery box! 

Hello ladies and gents

Mystery Boxes have been something that has been going around quite frequently.
With the wide array of selections, it's hard to choose one that will fit to all your dark and GORE-gous needs.

that is, until I stumbled onto this Mystery Box from Le Noir Bazaar! 

 For around $25 dollars, you get one huge (and quite heavy, by my own experience!) box of goodies that should, as the website states, be a total of more than $50 dollars worth of items for your buck.
All full of dark, alternative, Gothic and witchy items that will fit your style (and lifestyle) to a perfect and complete "T."

Their monthly mystery boxes include a hand-picked selection of at least five spooky, witchy, & bohemian jewelry, accessories, bath products & more to your doorstep. 

Every box is at random, so you will never end up with the same one someone else will get. 

*hence the Mystery Box aspect of this beautiful thing!*

I want to also address the actual box itself!
It's so beautiful and well detailed! I am actually going to keep all my goodies inside it as a keepsake! 

👃I SMELL another haul (3rd Halloween Haul of 2018)👃| Hannabal Marie

The lot this haul. Looks so good to me. :)

Hello ladies and gents, 

I bring you another lot of Halloween decor and household items. 

I can't stress enough how much this season, 

this holiday, means to me and my family.
It's the only time of year where I can stock up on very necessary things 

I can use throughout the rest of the year and into the new.
So, being able to make these posts is what separates the gods 

from the rest of the world. hahaa

I hope you are ready to feast your eyes on the items I nabbed at the 99 cent store & Smart n Final. 

So, enough chit-chat--let's get to the goods. 

🌜⭐️Mystical Inspirations Unboxing/Showcase (+Makeup Look) ⭐️🌛 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents

As a lover of all things magical--I stumbled onto a lovely jewelry maker 

who creates such one-of-a-kind pieces from crystals and wire.

Her work is so breath-taking that I couldn't possibly pass up this opportunity 

to see if we could come together and create something from her work.

I told her I would create a work of art if she would send me something to inspire that creation. 

It was on a spur of the moment and quite frankly, I wasn't expecting her to respond at all. 

But she did and promptly, at that.

We exchanged brief words, asking me what my favorite colors were
and before I knew it, she was creating me what I am about to show you today.

Before I get to the showcase and makeup creation, 

I want to touch base with you guys more about her and her work:

She sent me her business card with a cute little note written on the backside.

(Taken from her website)
"As an artist and designer I started as a child, 

always loved to make things and collecting crystals. 

I went on to study art and photography after high school. 

I met my husband and left college to start a family. 

As my child got older, I started to create again."

"I then taught myself to work with wire 

and I started to create pieces with crystals for friends and family. 

This was how Mystical Inspirations was born."

"I cleanse, charge and bless all the stones that pass through me to their person.
I also offer other services.
I am a registered minister (non denomination) with the universal life church.
I perform weddings and hand-fastenings. 

I also teach meditation, spirit journeys and finding your own power.
I also offer crystal healing and energy work."

👀 The Creation of My Momo 👀 | Hannabal Marie

Hello ladies and gents
As promised, here is a WIP (Work in progress) post to showcase some of the highlighted moments I took in the overall construction of my Momo cosplay.

This was probably the more simpler cosplay I have ever done, but still took a great portion of my time and effort to construct.

The main focal point being the mask.
I have never actually created a "mask" before, so this was new territory for me.
I was also doing something new with latex to construct a thicker material.
By mixing flour with latex, I created a sort of "Slop" that I molded into a mask.
It took some time and a lot of hands-on work to finish, but the overall look came out perfect.

There was a lot of hits and misses but I now know what to do and what not to do.
The thrill of trial and error. lol

🎮 The Library Con 2018 🎮 | Hannabal Marie

Some of the stuff we got from the event.

Hello ladies and gents

September 23rd was the Library Con here where we live.
But quite frankly, it was a bit of an awkward day.

I have a bit of a story to share here, 

So I do hope you got some snacks for this very long read. hahaa
