Chalk this quick little post up to impulse shopping at it’s finest. Sheesh.

I was walking through Wal*Mart yesterday on my way to the toilet paper isle when this $2.24 wonder practically blinded me from cosmetics.

Wow, that’s bright.

I am so, so not a make-up person — a minimalists at heart who skips make-up all together most days. But for some reason, the freakishly-bright-Halloween-hey-why-not mood came over me and into my cart it went. And while the kids where down for naps and I was supposed to be folding laundry had free time, I started playing around on my otherwise un-prepped and un-plucked eyes.

The result?

A little something I like to call  The Candy Corn Cat Eye

What do you think?  Kicky or creep?

Obviously I’m no 16-year-old YouTube make-up tutorial wiz, but for some reason I really enjoyed brushing wide strokes of garish color all over my eyelids with reckless abandon.

And stepping outside my everyday routine makes me want to do other wild and crazy things today … like take my hair out of a clip, wax my upper lip and get some bangs-ha!

Or maybe go someplace special with my all-dolled-up-self … like Target.

Ah, the power of make-up.

So what are you doing for Halloween?

Do you dress up?

Do you do fun little things like wear funky socks, play with your make-up or drag out the black polish?

Discuss.
