So you’ve totally seen the commercials and I’m obsessed. You can check out the other videos on Facebook and laugh your ass off. As someone who works in the PR/social media world, I always appreciate a smart campaign like this one. Love it. I mean…Snooki? Hilarious.

So this year for Halloween I decided to just conform and be the infamous Snooki from “Jersey Shore.” Yes, I know it was the most popular costume this year but people, I don’t buy costumes in a bag, ok? 100% real, honest effort went into my Snooki costume and I have to admit, it was a pretty big hit among the West Hollywood crowd (and at the West Hollywood Halloween Block Party). I mean, I think the test of a good costume is when people ask to take pictures with you…man, maybe I should panhandle down on Hollywood Blvd. with the randoms dressed as Michael Jackson and Spiderman, no? We’ll see.
To get that true “Jersey Shore” glow is no easy feat for a pale whitey like myself. I started by applying my go-to self-tanner, XenTan followed by Sally Hansen’s Salon Airbrush Legs in “Deep Glow,” aka the darkest shade they make. I have to say, I was a bit nervous about this product because it was either going to make or break my Snooki look. Well I say it MADE it. As I sprayed on the makeup, it was quite shocking to see how dark it was but being that I was trying to be the “Princess of Poughkeepsie,” it was working for me. I also didn’t melt any off through out the night and not gonna lie…I’m definitely going to pick up a bottle of this (in a MUCH lighter shade) to spray on the next time I have to go to a wedding or any other big event. It’s good stuff and came right off in the shower with just a little water and shower gel.
As for my face, I dusted a little of Benefit’s Hoola Bronzer onto my face for that extra tan since this bronzer is normally waaay too dark for my natural skin color. For my eyes, I tried out the Hard Candy Eye Tattoos I’d been saving for just the right night- and they’re purple leopard print to match my bra. My lipstick is Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in “Indluge.”

So the gods have answered my prayers. Yes, friends, a company had the brains to create Jersey ShoreHalloween costumes. I’ll admit that I was thinking about possibly dressing up as JWoww because really, who doesn’t want to essentially dress like a stripper on Halloween? But now that I’m seeing the Snooki WIG for the first time, I might just change my mind. I’m still laughing at the Pauly D wig, by the way.
