I’ve been a huge fan of Dracula and all things vampire – movies, books, whatever – since I was a teen. But what sealed my infatuation was seeing Bram Stoker’s Dracula when Gary Oldman said “I’ve crossed oceans of time for you.” C’mon now, who wouldn’t swoon over a line like that, even if it was from someone who would forever doom you to drink blood? But enough with all of that reminiscing, it’s almost Halloween and one of the all-time great, classic costumes for men, women and children is to transform into a vampire. Heck even toddlers and babies have access to such wicked alter-egos.

And there’s no better accessory for a woman vamp than some blood-red long lasting lipstick that’ll get you through the longest party with perfect lips.
