Last year I started this late, so I figured that this year I'd start early!  Feel free to post about all things fall, Halloween, beauty and everything in between.  Answer as many or as few prompts as you'd like, and know that you're encouraged to add your own ideas as well!

October 31: What full size candy bar would you love to give out or get on Halloween?

I remember getting a full sized Reece’s as a kid. I would have loved a full sized Cookies and Cream. As an adult though, dark or ruby chocolate. 

[Loretta55]

Reese’s cups are not that large @JoSometimes. At Easter I have received 1/2 pound chocolate covered peanut butter eggs which I refuse to share with anyone. They are very dangerous for me.

[CorgiMommy]

October 31;  what full size candy bar would you like to give out or get?

100 grand bar or milky way or anything with chocolate and caramel.

Happy Halloween everyone!

@greeneyedgirl107 thanks  for putting this together, can't wait for your next one

October 31: What full size candy bar would you love to give out or get on Halloween?  Happy Halloween everyone!  Twix.

👻🎃  HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO ALL OF MY BIC LOVELIES FROM ME AND MY HAMPIRE  🎃👻

[CynthieLu]

Those are so cute @quspork Happy Halloween to you too! 🎃👻

October 27: Do you send Halloween cards?

Nope. I've sent some fancy party invites through the mail, but that's as close to cards as I've done for Halloween. 

October 28: Would you ever dress up your pets?

No pets unfortunately

October 29: Favorite fall activity? 

celebrating the holidays, both Halloween and Thanksgiving with friends and family

October 30: If you could create a Halloween-inspired beauty product, what would it be?  Or, do you have a favorite?

I'd love a traditionally-themed Halloween brush set. Not something tied to a movie, show, character, etc- just plain old pumpkins, black cats, witches, ghosts, that kind of thing.

October 31: What full size candy bar would you love to give out or get on Halloween?

Either Twix or bag of M&Ms

[Loretta55]

Happy Halloween 🎃 everyone! I used to enjoy the large Mr Goodbar or a Hershey with almonds.

[CynthieLu]

Happy Halloween Everyone!!! 🎃👻

Have a fun and safe night out there everybody! 🌃

What full size candy bar would you love to get: A Skor Bar 🤩

October 29: Favorite fall activity? 
Just being able to go outside and not melting🥵

October 30: If you could create a Halloween-inspired beauty product, what would it be?  Or, do you have a favorite?

October 31: What full size candy bar would you love to give out or get on Halloween?

Hersheys with Almonds

October 30:  Halloween inspired makeup product would create.

I would like a candy corn lip mask.  I know candy corn is polarizing but I do like a bag of it once a year so a lip mask would be interesting and a lot less calories!

[CynthieLu]

That's a fun idea for a lip mask @CorgiMommy  I'm not on team candy corn, but i would be curious about it if it I saw it on a shelf somewhere. 💛🧡🤍

[CynthieLu]

October 30th: I love my pumpkin spice lip liner from Morphe.  I wear it any time off year but it's very fun and fitting too wear it for fall and the spooky Halloween season. 🧡🎃

[Titian06]

October 30: If you could create a Halloween-inspired beauty product, what would it be?  Or, do you have a favorite?  Last year Laneige had a lip mask in pumpkin spice.  I absolutely love it!  I've been using it almost everyday regardless of the season.  I would love a perfume in that scent...so maybe I'd create a pumpkin spice perfume. 😁🎃🧡

[CorgiMommy]

@Titian06 what a fun idea!!

[CynthieLu]

Oooh that's a delicious idea @Titian06 why doesn't that exist yet?? 🤩

I’m not a fan of seasonal anything. Using something once and then not really using it much until the next year seems like a waste. I’d design something more versatile and put effort into the marketing campaign to show how it could be used during Halloween but also before and/or after.

Oct 30- I always associate Too Faced Melted Mattes lipsticks in the various pumpkin shades with Halloween. I found this old photo in my album.
If I was going to create a Halloween inspired beauty product it would be a cleanser in a fun orange color that is non drying. Once applied to skin it would be non irritating.

[CynthieLu]

Oooh if that product existed I'd totally buy it @Loretta55 🧡
