Makeup Your Own Story

Shiseido, a Japanese cosmetics company, is taking advantage of this scary season with a three-minute commercial. AdWeek calls it the most romantic love story of the year. Whether you have a bathroom shelf filled to the brim with concealer and lipstick, or don’t indulge in any makeup, the ad is definitely worth a view, or ten.

A Different Kind of PR Nightmare

Burger King has a PR ‘nightmare’ on its hands, just in time for Halloween. This one was intentional – the fast food titan is making a hamburger with green buns, stuffed with beef, chicken and bacon, among other things. Its “sir”name: the ‘Nightmare King.’ Burger King also claims that the protein and cheese combo is more than three times likelier to give people vivid dreams (read: nightmares). If you don’t feel like shelling out $10 for a bag of candy, this boo-tiful bad boy will only cost you $6 and change.
