With Halloween around the corner, you can tune into your creativity to come up with a killer costume. From ghosts and goblins to fairy princesses and witches, the possibilities are endless if you have the right tools. But you can still get inspired by these products and get into the spooky spirit even if you’re not dressing up. Here are our favourite Halloween items that are all treat and no trick.
Face glitter, $6.95 and Glitter top coat mascara, $9.95
Calling all mermaids and aliens: this face glitter is for you. It will make your features pop and give you that special shine. Add some rhinestones for texture and your costume will be complete. And it’s affordable so you don’t have to pick between breaking out or breaking the bank. This glitter will be kind to your skin—and to your wallet. If you want to layer more sparkle into your look, then opt for Annabelle’s mascara in gold. Your lashes will stand out and brighten up your eyes.
Boo! Shower Slime, $18.95
It may seem freaky, but Lush’s vegan body slime is actually packed with beneficial ingredients that will leave your skin feeling smooth. It has bamboo stem extract that acts as an exfoliant. But the texture is also silky because it contains corn starch, which is absorbent. And it smells like bubble gum, so you can get in the Halloween mood even when you’re taking a shower. If you need an extra kick, try putting your slime in the fridge before using it.
Fright night spooky lashes in Spider Web, $4.90
These lashes are ideal if you’re dressing up as Charlotte from Charlotte’s Web or the giant spider Aragog from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (who has been haunting dreams since the movie came out in 2002). The web design on the lashes makes them perfect on their own, if you want to keep it simple. Additionally, they can be a starting off point to create a hauntingly beautiful look. Even if you’re scared of spiders, you can still enjoy these spooky lashes!
Pumpkin Soap, $5.95
This bar of soap proves that pumpkins aren’t only good for carving or for your Starbucks order. It will help you replenish and restore your skin with its soothing pumpkin fruit after a long night of playing dress up. It also contains wheat germ, to exfoliate, and almond oil, to nourish and hydrate. The vegan soap is made for sensitive skin, with no artificial colours or added scents.
Halloween is here so don’t be afraid to try out some new products. Whether you want to feel glam or ghoulish, there’s lots of options to choose from, including luscious lashes, shower slime or glittery mascara.
