I wouldn't lump the two together. Sparkly vampire makeup is just dumb (uh, isn't that just glitter?), but drinkable fake blood is fun! I have no idea what it's supposed to taste like, but I think it's kind of a neat idea.

Fake blood as a drink?
Apparently some of the bars around ComicCon had it for sale. I did not go try any, because I didn't want to fight the crowds.

but drinkable fake blood is fun!
At various times during my (more-)sordid goth post-adolescence, various goth bars in Seattle and Portland would experiment with blood-like drinks. Nowadays most people settle for red wine.
It's really not worth the effort, and usually tastes *foul* (mixing various alcohols to get just the right shade of red...that you can tell is red in club lighting...BAH!)

Yep. Almost as bad as the black vodka, which tasted like what I imagine printer toner would.

Stick to the sparkly pink vodka - at least it's drinkable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I am kind of surprised that they aren't just slapping a Tru Blood label on something akin to Two-buck Chuck, but I am kind of fond of the novelty tie-ins. They're silly, yes, but that's kind of the point, isn't it?

It is totally the point.

OTOH, I think I saw linked here at some point drinks that were basically cherry lemonade in blood sample bags that you could drink as if they were Capri-Suns, and as much as I like cherry lemonade I doubt I would want to drink that. Clever, but not for me.
Sparkly make-up, however, I like very much and might be tempted to buy if I ever wore the make-up I already own. Poor neglected cosmetics.

The wine that comes with the Vampire label is pretty good. I'll have to get several bottles this Halloween.

Toddson's got the right idea. Split the difference and stick with the sparkly pink vodka.
