Halloween Lolita Meetup!

This past Saturday we had our October Halloween lolita tea party!!!  I tried something different with the eye makeup, but didn't bother with a full face. 

 

 

I was considering adding facial glitter as well, but decided to go for a more subtle look.  I also didn't bother with a base at all.  Just eye makeup and lipstick and eyebrows this time!  I think I'm getting lazier and lazier with makeup all the time!! 

 

 

Hair from the back!  I rarely get a chance to use this purple pumpkin cat clip/pin I got from the Lolita Market a while back.  It matched nicely with my purple monster ears!

 Doro brought a little display for our dolls to sit at!  And the other girls had Halloween outfits for many of the dolls!  Violet is wearing a Queen of Darkness shirt I made her, but you can't see it too well in the group photo. 

The savory dishes were interesting and delicious as always!

 

From top: Pan-Fried Shrimp with Polenta, Spinach Deviled Eggs, Rambutan Stuffed and Pineapple with Parma Ham (it was a blueberry, not pineapple...), Pumpkin Cold Soup, Chees Ball with Pumpkin Seeds 

The only thing that seemed a bit off to me was the rambutan with blueberry and sauce, but that's likely because I removed the parma ham so there was no savoriness to balance out the sweetness of the fruits.

 The sweets this year were really cute! Every piece had a decoration on it! 

 

Also you can see Violet's outfit better here 

The decorations were mostly chocolate, though the pumpkin and witch's hat were made of some type of clay-like sweet that didn't taste nice, so I only tried a bite.

 

Clockwise from top: Ore Chocolate Cup, Hokkaido Lemon Cheese, Purple Sweet Potato Financier, Lemon Tart, Cherry Pistachio Mousse, Chocolate Macaron, Charcoal Puff
Center: Valrhona 72% Mousse 

The ghosts on the dark chocolate mousse had different facial expressions and bodies!  Niya got one that had derpy eyes and was so cute!

We had a fun time and also traded materials for making backgrounds for our ita bags.  Plus, Hako passed out things she'd picked up in Japan as shopping service, and also gifted us all some Disney cookie packets!

I didn't join for dinner as I went to a friend's house to play mahjong instead (I really enjoy casual mahjong now!)

Now I need to go pick up some clear plastic to cut out backing for Violet's doll bag~ 

 

JSK: Putumayo
Shoes: Sheep Puff 

 

Happy Halloween! 

 

The eyeliner I used was an essence one with a felt tip, which I think drags on the skin more so it doesn't make as fine of lines.  But it's the only one that's black enough and doesn't dry up if I draw thick lines.  I have three open black eyeliners now because I kept buying new ones to do gothic makeup with, but the Asian brands I got only seem to work for the more subtle makeup that doesn't do bold, black lines.  I do love Kate Tokyo for the fine tip and it's great for my regular Lolita makeup, but it doesn't work for thick lines.  Neither did the 1028 one I got.  So now I need to figure out how to use up the other two black eyeliners 😹

Happy Halloween!! Do you have any Halloween plans? I'm not sure if I'll do anything on the actual Halloween day.... contemplating attending a party but it's far away and I'm lazy!
