Ill tell you this right now: Halloween is not my holiday of choice.
I usually spend the weeks leading up to Oct. 31 being a grump and refusing to dress up.
It always ends up being expensive.
Not this year, my friends.
Although Halloween is on a Wednesday, I will be prepared and I refuse to spend too much money.
Probably not as good as youd like.
It always seems like an uphill battle to build (and keep) a decent amount in savings.
But what if your car breaks down, or you have a sudden medical bill?
No way, I thought.
But, lo and behold, it really is a smarter decision.
Real Makeup Is Cheaper
This is where I was hung up.
But you really can find cheaper Halloween makeup alternatives at Ulta both in-store and online.
you could exchange SBs for gift cards.
I hate clowns, and my face wascoveredin paint, which caused my already acne-prone skin to freak out.
I think theres one photo of the incident floating around somewhere… Moving out a few months later, I stumbled across it.
It was totally dried out.
Theres also more of a chance youll useeyelinerthan black face paint on any other regular day.
Real Makeup Has More Options
At Party City, youll probably find limited options for Halloween makeup.
Youll see the white face paint, the palette of clown colors and maybe two colors of lipstick.
you could probably find a singular one you actually need (and will use again).
Plus, did you see all those lipstick options?
The best part is you dont risk running into someone who used the same pre-packaged kit as you.
