Create Your Halloween look for Less

Grafix eyeliner
The Grafix Liquid Liner (CBLE672 Black) has an easy to use soft foam tip and a water-resistant formula. I found it to be extremely rich and dark, just what I needed for the fun African Goddess eyeliner look I created.
The formula didn't irritate my eyes at all and there was no unpleasant smell.
The sturdy foam applicator gave me a precise line that never faded. This eyeliner, although rich and dark, took a minute or two to dry down completely so please be mindful with application. ( 0.12 FL. OZ.)
Velvet Plush Creamy Lip Color
I just love the fact that L.A. COLORS gives us see-through packaging with the new Velvet Plush Creamy Lip Color. We need to know what shade we're buying and sometimes there aren't samples in-store.
Packed with bold pigmentation, it feels soft and smooth on the lips. The applicator is super flexible and feels soft gliding against your lips.
The Velvet Plush smells like a delicious dessert and I find it dries to a to a semi matte finish.
I paired my lipstick (CLC665 Luxurious) with a brown lip liner and it looks gorgeous against my dark skin tone. I'm hoping to see many more shades of this formula, it's definitely a winner. (4 mL)
Glitter Palette
Every look needs some GLITZ and this palette will add the perfect sparkle to any look you're attempting this Halloween. The Palette featured here is (CGP692 Mysterious). The glitter already has a sticky base that helps it adhere to the skin. I found it easy to apply using my finger and a synthetic eyeshadow brush. These colors really popped against my skin tone and I'm sure they will look fabulous on so many others.
I noticed that most of the glitter is at the top of the product and the deeper you dig into the product the less glitter you'll retrieve so here's a little tip: Layer the glitter shadow on top of a similar colored matte shadow for added effect. This will also help with the creasing that cream-based products usually create and give your eyeshadow look longevity.
Dramatilash
I am always on the search for a great lash. I have fairly small eyes and I usually have to cut the ends of strip lashes to modify them for my eyes. I was quite amazed that no modifications were needed for me to wear these lashes comfortably. They looked natural yet flirty, as the name of the style indicates
(CBEL949 FLIRT). I will most definitely look for more lashes from L.A. COLORS. They were lightweight and added such a great punch to the look.
Color Craze Nail Polish
This lovely plum shade called (CNP378 Dark Night) just topped off this look. I will definitely keep this shade on my Fall Polish Rack because it's perfect for the season. I can't wait to try it in a few nail art tutorials for the Fall as well. I did find this polish to be a little thick but 1 drop of nail polish remover or thinner will do the trick for a flawless manicure.
*Tip: Wear a base coat to prevent light staining of the nails. *
Overall, I think these products are a great bargain for the upcoming holiday. My favorite items were the lashes, nail polish and eyeliner. With a bit of imagination I'm sure L.A. COLORS fans could come up with lots of DIY Halloween costume ideas and L.A. COLORS loves to repost the most fun and innovative looks on their social media so, be sure to follow them on Instagram.
I did include a few tips on how to make the products work even better for your Halloween look and I can't wait to hear what your favorites are among these items and what you plan to be for Halloween.
