$10 Dollar Halloween Costume!!!
(Props + Accessories included!!!)
Happy Halloween Readers!!!!!
Fall is a wonderful time. It's a time to dress up, go shopping,enjoy the beautiful overcast skies and so fourth. Fall is my FAV season if you didn't know and though it's still kinda hot in cali ( though it has cooled down =) ), there is still magic in the air! This is my Halloween article for this year so I am saying an early happy Halloween to all of you!!!
I am all about the budgeting so I came up with a super cute {$10 DOLLAR LOOK} for moms out there shopping for your little ones and pre teens and even inspiration for yourselves! I just love this kind of shopping and getting creative and I hope it gives inspo to ppl wanting to be festive budgetnista style!!! Let's get into it!!
I dressed my little sis up this Halloween and it was super fun! She said she wanted to be a vampire but also.. Ariana Grande lol. So we decided to go for a vampire Ariana Grande look. The first thing I got was this.
The majority of the things were from a company called Happy Halloween. This was my first time trying this company and I would say it's very good quality stuff for the price!! No complaints! This was a decorative choker necklace with lace at the top and bottom. I got this for $1 dollar! Yes!! lol By the way, I will list below all the prices for every single item mentioned and where I purchased them!
The second thing I got was too pretty to not get! It's a glitter mask, also from Happy Halloween. Isn't that pretty? I decided to make it a vampire/ masquerade look. It doesn't seem to match in theory but actually came out very very pretty. I think it makes it unique and also adds a sultry kind of touch to it.
The next thing we got was a bouquet of black roses and 2 silver pearl necklaces!
These are the accessories and prop. I thought the black bouquet was super pretty! (By the way, I went to a discount Halloween store in Torrance that had single black roses for double the price of this whole bouqet!) I got the silver pearls to add more pizzazz to the outfit!
I also got a little Halloween makeup!
These were the products that I wasn't too impressed with but we made it work. The fake scar was the worst. Its just a brown creamy substance. Whatever it is your suppose to do with that, I could have did with whatever I have at home in my makeup box. But the fake blood was good. Very realistic looking. Much better than trying to create the look with red lipstick or a pencil. I also got the blanc (white) cream for a ghostly pale look!
Now on to the outfit!
I got this shimmery, kind of lacy and tattered skirt for a girly look. These skirts and all the skirts they had actually run very small. My sister is very skinny so she was able to fit. I think the skirts weren't for her age group (pre teen/teens). They were meant for like kid kids so for things like this, that's something to keep in mind. You just have to work with what you can when on a budget.
I layered this purple fluffy ballerina skirt on top to add a pop of color. I wanted it to be dark but not like a gothic look so I decided to make the theme black and purple.
The next thing I got is technically a garland. It's a pretty glittery and sparkly bat garland with sequin. I love anything that is sequin! I used this as kind of like a belt so that the bats hang over the skirts to add a pattern to it.
And the rest of all the things are from home! You just get creative! I went with an all black outfit so black jeans and a slinky black top with a black mini sweater on top. And black heels to match! I added a black studded belt of mine to hide the seams of the skirt. I also added a few accessories of mine which is the big silver ring with the purple stone and the glitzy bracelet. For earrings, we went with just regular studs since that's what Ariana Grande seems to wear. Then you just start layering and decorating! She said she wanted to look like Ariana Grande so I looked up some tutorials for Ariana Grande looks on youtube. I just typed in Ariana Grande hair tutorial. I also looked at a few pictures to get the idea for makeup and hair. Makeup and hair are the bigger parts of the outfit to me. I think most attention should be paid there. We started by straightening all her hair bone straight and then I did half up, half down in a really high pony tail. I then took a strand from the back of the pony tail and wrapped it around to create a hair band around the pony tail. I made a part to the side and pulled all her hair in front.
For makeup, I used the Ulta Beauty Treasures kit.(i'll link the whole review below just in case you haven't seen. 70 piece kit at Ulta for only 20 bucks. Makeup box included!)
For makeup I used the "brownie" shade for her lids and under the eye. I also used the Ulta lipstick in "raisin".
I used a lemonade highlighter for under the brows from benefit. I used my Anastasia brow wiz for the brows. Blush,liner, mascara and then the look was done!
Here is the final look!
Here is a whole body shot.
I added blood streaks to her chest and neck and some by the mouth.
And here is a close up of the skirt!
Not too bad I think. And she loved it! She said this has been her most favorite Halloween costume she ever had! And all her costumes before have been at least $60+ usually from party city and random Halloween stores.Costumes are expensive!! And that's even when you don't get all the accessories/ shoes and extra stuff. This has actually been my favorite Halloween costume of hers too and only $10 bucks!
I saved the best for last. I mentioned earlier that I would tell you the price of each item listed and where I got it. Everything mentioned in this article was 99 cents!!! And everything was purchased at your local 99 cents store!!!
Crazy right?!! lol yep. frugality is an art really.
I hope you love this article. I enjoyed making it and it was fun to get creative and come up with this look!
xoxo T & Haappy Halloooweeeen!!!!!
