Wednesday Wants - Halloween Special!

So its Halloween this weekend and I am going to show you my pick of the best costumes and other cool halloweeny things!

1) Malice in Wonderland Costume -£39
I love Alice In Wonderland but I love this more gothic version even more! It is £39 for the dress only so you would have to buy the wig, socks, shoes and dagger yourself which would probably work out quite expensive. Everyone will love it though! Get yours here.







2) Calacas Shower Jelly - £2.95 from Lush

This is the limited edition Day of the Dead shower jelly and it smells like limes and jelly beans. You can also get it in yellow or orange and it really is lovely. Get yours at a lush shop or from here.







3) Halloween Box Set - £40 from Enchanted

A box full of seasonal bath products from Enchanted. The scents are all lovely and halloweeny and the box looks amazing. Get one from here.






4) Pumpkin Paper Lantern - £1.99 from Lakeland

How cute would this look in your garden when you're having your halloween party? I love it and its not expensive either! Get yours here.








5) Halloween Crackers - £10 from John Lewis

I have never seen Halloween Crackers before so I was drawn to these in John Lewis yesterday! They are so different, I love them. Get yours from here.







6) Sinister Poiret Clown Costume - £17.99

This is the costume that I had originally chosen for Halloween but I wont be able to buy my costume until Friday and that is too late to order this online! It comes with the dress, neck piece and hat so you would have to buy stockings, armwarmers, a wig and make up to get the full effect. Get yours here.






7) Chocolate Halloween Lollies - 69p each or 3 for 2 from Thorntons

Thorntons have got some lovely cute chocolate lollies at 69p each and 3 for 2 at the moment. My favourite is this skeleton, he's gorgeous! Get yours instore or here.






8) Screme Egg - 50p from ASDA

The Screme Egg is just like a Creme Egg but it has green goo instead of orange! Tell me that is not amazing..








9) Rotten Coffin Halloween Prop - £99

An expensive halloween prop but can you imagine your friend's reactions? This is for someone who wants to throw an awesome halloween party where money is no object! Get one from here.







10) Pumpkin Carving Kit - £1.99 from Smiffys

It just isn't halloween without pumpkin carving so grab your pumpkin and use this pumpkin carving kit to create a monster! Get yours here.

Cybercandy Halloween Sweets!

When I was in London I found the most amazing sweet shop that sold sweets from all over the world. It was called Cybercandy and apparantly can also be found in Birmingham and Brighton as well as online here. I got an email from Cybercandy today to let me know that they had halloween stock in so I went and had a look and my mouth was soon watering! Here is a selection of the goodies:

Candy Corn - £2.60 for 200g
I have never tasted Candy Corn but it really appeals to me! For £2.60 you get approximately 100 pieces of Candy Corn made by Brach's with real honey. The colours of them look so halloweeny and I really want to try them.






Indian Corn - £2.60 for 200g
This is a less traditional version of candy corn with the texture of fudge and a hint of chocolate to taste. It looks very yummy.







Mellocreme Pumpkins - £2.60 for 200g
These are apparantly extremely popular in America. They are melt in your mouth candies shaped like cute pumpkins!







Trick or Treat Bag - £6.99
This is what you always want your trick and treat bag to look like at the end of your trick or treating trip! It contains 110g Candy Pumpkins, 112g Candy Corn, 80g Saltwater Taffy, 56g Soda Poppers and 90g Root Beer Barrels




Twilight Sweethearts - £2.80 for a 5oz box
Jumping on the twilight bandwagon! These are like the American of Love Hearts and you can get a box with Edward, Bella or Jacob on the front. To top it off some of them sparkle!



Twilight Sky Bars - £2.15 for 56g
These are quite expensive in my opinion! Again you can get either Edward, Bella or Jacob and each bar has three squares, milk chocolate and peanut butter, vanilla cream and caramel. According to Cybercandy they are like a gothic chocolate bar!





I'm tempted to order some candy corn if it is vegetarian and dairy free (which I doubt!) but the rest I will just look at and drool over on the website. Any self respecting trick or treater would be very impressed to get some of these in their bag!

Wednesday Wants!

This weeks wants are being done on time!

1) China Glaze "Awakenings" Halloween 2010 Set - £19.95 from Amazon

I've never used China Glaze nail varnish but their collections always catch my eye. They do seem quite expensive as they work out at around £5 each. This collection includes Zombie Zest (green with glitter), Ick A Body (dark green with orange glitter) and Mummy May I (purple with pink glitter) as well as a top coat. These are only limited edition so if you want to get yours then pick it up here.


2) Villette Lace Mary Jane Pumps - £20 from Topshop

I don't often wear pumps in the winter and so most of my wants of recent have included boots. However, I saw these on the Topshop website and fell in love with them. They are so pretty and cute! Get a pair from here.








3) Dragon's Blood Necklace - from £8 at Shottle Bop

I love these little bottles from Shottle Bop. This is one of the halloween specials. The other two that caught my eye were Vampire Venom and Pumpkin Juice. You can even get them with little spoons! Get yours from here.






4) Team Edward T Shirt - £24.99 from Truffle Shuffle

Embarrassingly, I already have a Team Edward t shirt (of the Cullen variety!). I would prefer this one though! This shirt pays homage to the original Edward from Edward Scissorhands. It is one of my favourite films and I would kill for this top! Get yours here.







5) Go Away I'm Reading Mug - £9.95 from the Literary Gift Company

This mug is just so "me". I love it. Enough said. Get one from here.









6) Banana Guard - £4.99 from Lakeland

Do you hate it when your bananas get squished in your bag? Yes?? Me too! I really want one of these... they are funny but also practical! Get one from here.








7) Tia Tie Dye Bodice Prom Dress - £8 from Boohoo.com

This is more of a summer dress really but it definately caught my eye. I love the colours and the style. If you want one of these you'll have to act quickly as it is in the sale! Get one from here.








8) Heritage Rabbit Top - £14.99 from New Look

I totally love this top. It's very Alice In Wonderlandy and I think it is beautiful. If you love it too then get one from here.









9) Cream Cable Longline Cardigan - £42 from Miss Selfridge

This cardigan just looks cosy and lovely. A plain top, leggings, ugg boots and this cardigan would look nice I think. It would also be lovely and warm! Get one here.








10) Marzibain Bubble Bar - £2.75 from Lush

This years christmas Lush will be released on Friday and I plan on telling you all about it then. Until then.. I have been wanting one of these for a while and it is definately one of my wants of the week. This bubble bar smells like marzipan (just like snowcake soap). I've been using my snowcake recently and I love it so I would love to have one of these to pair it with!
