CostumeSuperCenter presents Jason Voorhees!


 Costume Super Center Review

Adult Jason Blister Kit Adult Costume

Scare the daylights out of everyone in the neighborhood in this nightmarish costume, the Jason Blister Kit Costume for Men. This officially licensed product from the fright flick Friday the 13th includes the trademark hockey mask, a bloody long sleeved shirt, and a machete prop stained with the blood of your latest victim. The Jason costume for men is available in one size fits all and will look grotesque and fit most men comfortably. You won't find better quality Jason Halloween costumes at a better price anywhere on the internet and you'll love wearing this outfit to costume balls and Halloween parties where you can scare the men away and have all the ladies to yourself. You can add to this frighteningly good Halloween costume with a Friday the 13th Scene Setter and you'll have the ideal classic Halloween costume you can enjoy for years.

I was contacted by Costume Super Center to do a review on one of their costumes so giving that I love horror movies & the 'Friday the 13th' movie franchise is my favorite I chose non other than the Jason Voorhees costume! It is a men's costume, but you for sure can be a chick and be scary.. I mean why not? My family & I like getting together & watching scary movies & this time around we decided to pull out the old favorite & this costume just fit the bill. 
I had my cousin wear it because he had the shaved head and I thought id look awkward with blonde long hair considering Jason was bald so he was more than willing to do poses for me! 

'He even tried to cut his sister with his plastic machete!'
'Oh, brothers!'

Now for the review: I think for the price of the costume which was $25.99 it's amazing considering my local K-mart & Walmart's costumes like this runs a small fortune! It comes with the Jason Mask, Long Sleeve Shirt, and the Plastic Machete Knife. The mask is well made & it's has that blistered look that makes the costume even more realistic towards the movie & for a great scare! It is an official licensed Jason costume & right now it's actually the price above I posted is it's clearance price! What a steal! 

The shirt is made of polyester so it's very stretchy it does run a little bit on the short side if you are long waisted so you might have to put a shirt underneath or a coat over-top, but as you can see it fit my cousin and myself perfectly. It was a little short in the front, but nothing a under-shirt couldn't hide.

I put a little dark eyeliner in the circles of my cousin's eyes to give it a more dramatic movie effect! You can put your own spin on it and make the outfit however you wish. Pair it with some scary gloves, a dirty coat, and your ready to give your friends and family nightmares!

I highly suggest you check out CostumeSuperCenter's website - they really carry so many costumes for any occasion you are looking for. If it's for yourself, teens, children, infants, and even pets! If that doesn't have your attention they also sell props at awesome prices - I know my family & I used to have a big Halloween get together and all give-a-way candy together & we spent so much money on props it was unreal! I was surprised that CostumeSuperCenter had props that were pretty much exactly the same as what we bought years ago, but now extremely cheap! 


The shipping in my experience was super fast as well! 

So if you're having a rough night and you love scary movies why not have a little costume party or get-together and watch a scary movie? 

This product was sent to me on behalf of CostumeSuperCenter for review.

Give-A-Way & CorsetChick's Corsets! *CLOSED*



 CorsetChick Corsets

I recently was sent a Corset to review from www.CorsetChick.com

The Corset I chose is called the

Black Faux Leather Underbust Corset

Black Faux Leather Underbust Corset. Made of high quality faux leather, which feels like real leather! Corset has steel busks closure in front, and laces in back for proper fit.   

 They are available in sizes small -6XL. Which I got mine larger because they run smaller. You might have seen corsets in older movies and in westerns they were called ' Waist Cinchers,Corset Tops, and just the simple term as stated above now Corsets.' 

 Here is pictures of me wearing the corset and I'm relatively bigger than the model above so as you can see it can look just as good on curvy girls as well!

The Corset Laces closer up

To me the Corset has the look of leather, but the feel of satin. The snaps clasps in the front were easy to hook and they don't come undone. Corsets go beautifully with a stylish top or a regular shirt like what I paired mine with it makes it look more reminiscent of the renaissance which is very romantic. 

Corsets are very slimming and can help accentuate your natural curves or if you aren't curvy you can find Corsets that can give you that curvy hour-glass look. CorsetChick has all types of Corsets for all special occasions you'd be looking for. Like just for style, costumes, or whatever you like. 

What drew me into CorsetChick is that they do offer plus sizes which if you are plus size like me then you know how hard it is to find bigger clothing or an item like this in your size, but they carry all the way up to a 6XL so kudos to this company recognizing that big gals want gorgeous items such as this to!

Like I said CorsetChick is awesome for having plus sizes, but they are even more awesome because they agreed to let me do a give-a-way for you all!

If you win you get to pick a corset off of their website www.CorsetChick.com of $30 or under value. 

This Corset was provided to me for review by CorsetChick.

Downy UNSTOPABLES In-Wash Scent Booster


Downy UNSTOPABLES! 


By now you've probably seen the commercials for Downy Unstopables on tv. You know with this lady.. 
Holding the scent 'FRESH'

I thought sarcastically oh YES another product claiming to make your clothes smell fresh! 

I recently got a P&G sampler kit and it just so happened to have a generous sample of Downy Unstopables and I thought why not? So I used it last night and oh my goodness it smells so good! These little beads are strong for being so tiny! Not only that, but after I pulled my clothes out of the washer to put them in the dryer I noticed that even after the rinse cycle you could still smell the scent of Downy strong. It says to put a little in the cap then add to the water as it's filling up, but I kind of did it a little different I put a little in the water - added my clothes and then sprinkled some on top of the clothes as well. This acts as a fabric softener as well so that's another plus. I am hitting up my local Walmart to pick up some more of this stuff because it lasted on my clothes even after washing/drying so that tells me that I'm wasting money by buying dryer sheets. If you were also wondering the scent I got in my sampler box was 'Fresh' the blue bottle. 

Here is what Downy claims:

You love the softness of Downy. Add the feisty freshness of Downy UNSTOPABLES, an in wash scent booster that goes beyond everyday freshness to keep active wear, towels, and other fabrics smelling “wow” right up until the next wash. So every day, you can indulge in the freshness you crave. Just pick a scent below. Then see how to use UNSTOPABLES—and what makes it so fresh, easy, and fun.


Id have to say that it does what it says it does!

Holy Grail Eye-Makeup Remover!

Mary Kay Oil Free Eye Makeup Remover

  



No more tugging and pulling. With this super effective eye makeup remover, a gentle touch is all you need to remove eye makeup – even waterproof mascara. The oil-free formula leaves skin feeling soft, 
not greasy.

I have tried many eye makeup removers and my eyes are horribly sensitive. I've found that everyone I try my eyes burn and they swell up. Not good! I've been using Mary Kay's Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover for years since way before they changed the bottle shape. It works wonders. I wear water-proof mascara a lot and it takes it off easily and even though oil free it feels like it moisturizes very well. I like the fact that I don't have to rub my eyes just place some on a remover pad and let it sit on my eye for about 10 seconds and then wipe away! Rubbing your eyes is a horrible thing to do it causes wrinkles and sagging. 




It's allure approved! It's won 2011 allure award and I'll bet it will win again in 2012. 

You can get yours at: >>Mary Kay HERE<<




Want Christian Louboutin's, but you just can't commit to that huge price-tag?


Dress Your Soles!
 


 Have you ever stalked shoes online wanting those designer brands that maybe you can't afford. I know I have! I recently came across a website that I thought came up with a great idea. It's called ArchTags. They have a variety of designs that you can stick on the bottom of your heels. Turn your boring shoes into a designer look-a-like. If that's not what your going for they have so many designs that can adapt to your style!

ArchTags style in 'Bling'.


How cute are they? Talk about taking your boring shoes and making POP!

You can even submit your own art ideas and they could possibly pick yours to place on their website. How cool is that? Someone walking around with your art on their shoes!
ArchTags Design in 'Lace'.

Now you can have the look of Christian Louboutin without spending a fortune as ArchTags will run you about $13.99-$21.99 I believe. 

Treat your shoes - Treat yourself! 

I am not affiliated with this company nor did they send me anything. I just thought the idea was cute & unique! 




*Update* My Blog got featured on their promo video!
