Why spend ages planning out your Oct. 31 when you could be
livin’ it up…and letting GL figure out the deets? We know you’re busy this
weekend, girl, so we’ve put our 13 Days of Halloween tips, tricks, treats and
tidbits all in one place.
Costume Crazy
Start with four awesome (and affordable!) costume ideas. As you
settle on a look, draw inspiration from your fave celebs. Seeing multiples?
Check out our great group costumes. If you’re still stuck on what to be, we’ve
got a bunch of last-minute DIY costumes for you to choose from. Remember, girlies, keep it cute, sweet 'n' sassy this Halloween, not scanty.
And don’t forget to send in a pic of you wearing your
costume for a chance to win our Halloween costume contest!
Not in the mood to dress up? No prob. Get into the spirit
without going overboard with these ghoulish glamour picks. Then polish your
tips with a black ‘n’ orange French mani how-to or choose from these
creepy/cool mani ideas. Pretty!
Tasty Tidbits
Wow your guests with creepy cupcakes. Snack on classic rice
krispy treats with a dark twist. And before you head out trick-or-treating,
take a look at these candy bin dos and don’ts.
Creepy Crafts and Devilish Décor
We are in love with these elegant, light-up luminaries. Does
your house need to get haunted? Take a peek at our outdoor decorating ideas
before it get dark.
Need to unwind? Grab a pumpkin and chillax, princess! Here’s
a refreshing recipe for a pumpkin face mask that’ll get you in prime party
form, inside and out.
Before you head to bed, light up a sugar pumpkin nightlight
and enjoy the flickering candlelight.
Time to Party
Keep it classy with an old Hollywood horror party. Need some
fresh air? Take the party outside with a Jack-O-Lantern jamboree.
Go super-glam with our Little Monster ball, or take it back
to childhood with a cartoon character costume party. And for your post
trick-or-treating pleasure, what could be better than an after party?
If you’re ready to stay up all night, we’ve got two sweet
‘n’ spooky sleepover ideas: pull out the scary movies or host a séance slumber party.
Do Good
Who says being good has to be a chore? Ditch candy for a
cause by trick-or-treating for UNICEF, or stumble ‘round town on a zombie walk
for charity.
Do something good for your bod and take our tips to make
Halloween a li’l healthier.
