Halloween is right around the corner. I’m sure you have about 20 parties to go to. Maybe you’re a little overwhelmed trying to keep track of what you need to do and the costumes you’ve already planned. Maybe you still have no idea what you’re dressing up as! What do you need to get ready? No fear (just the Halloween kind), Her Campus UPR is here to help!
First and foremost, you need a costume, because what’s Halloween without a little dressing up?
If you’re aiming for costumes that are on the normal or more chill side of things, like Wednesday Addams or Princess Leia, then you should check out Vivrelle! Vivrelle is a service that allows you to experience luxury accessory items for as long as you’d like, or you can swap it out monthly. If you find something that’s to die for, you can buy it for a special members-only price! If you’re dressing up as the Queen of Hearts from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, this beautiful Van Cleef & Arpels Carnelian Heart Alhambra Necklace will give your costume a sophisticated but bold touch.
Now that you’ve got your costume, it’s time to prep. Planning on doing some crazy makeup look or keeping it simple? Regardless, you need to prime that skin! Washing, exfoliating, and moisturizing your skin is made simple with Mary Kay Naturally™ products! Their naturally derived ingredients are perfect to take care of your skin. Their natural product line includes Mary Kay Naturally™ Purifying Cleanser, Mary Kay Naturally™ Exfoliating Powder, Mary Kay Naturally™ Nourishing Oil, and Mary Kay Naturally™ Moisturizing Stick. They’re free of parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, synthetic dyes, and SLS/SLES. They’ll def protect you from a night of partying with a full face of makeup. Better yet, you’ll wake up feeling supple af.
You’re dressed. You have a full face. What’s next? Time to tackle your hair! If you’re wanting to go for a natural silky style, try out Garnier’s Whole Blends 10 in 1 Miracle Nectar Leave-In Serum. This miracle product moisturizes, detangles, repairs and prevents split ends, tames frizz, strengthens, restores softness, nourishes, protects against heat, reduces breakage, and improves manageability. Your hair will look luscious once you style it! A simple hairstyle you could try out with lovely hair is the 50s pinup hair. You’ll look wonderful in any of your 50s era costumes.
But—if you want to go for a sleek style (think Eleven from Stranger Things), then grab Garnier’s Fructis Men’s Liquid Stylers. You get some on your hands, rub them together and then run them through your hair towards the back. It’ll give you the perfect sleek/wet look. This styling product leaves hair looking and feeling great. The putty, pomade, and cream come in a new liquid formula. It’s wax-free which means that the formula glides on even and easily with no sticky residue. You’ll effortlessly style your hair, get the perfect amount of hair and have clean-feeling hair that is soft with no waxy coating.
Finally, before heading out, you’ll need an immune system and (natural!) caffeine boost. Support your energy needs with a shot of Emergen-C Nutrient Shot Energy+ with caffeine derived from Green Tea! Then, pop some deliciously Extra Gum Refreshers minty gum. You’ll feel so fresh.
I hope this has given you a more cohesive sense of how to get ready for Halloween. Go be spooktacular, babe!
