Halloween is just around the corner, but are you still having a hard time finding all your beauty essentials? Trust me, it can be difficult to find the perfect makeup or beauty products to go with your costume so here are a few tips. Buy products that you can use over again. We are in a recession so not only will you save time for next year, you’ll save money. Here are 5 beauty must-haves that you can use again next Halloween!

1. Dark Lips- Nothing says “Halloween” than dark, vampy lips. Make sure to find the perfect shade because it can make or break your costume. If you’re going for a vampire look, go for a dark shade. Dark lips is the look for fall, so if you’ve already collected a few colors, you’ve already saved time and money. Urban Decay Lipstick in Oil Slick $22

2. Hold Hair- Your hair is another important element for Halloween. Having the perfect hairdo can complete your costume look. So if you’re going as a punk-rocker or a scary witch, you want your hair to stay put all night long. Grab your go-to hairspray that will give your hair volume and a great hold. Big Sexy Volumizing Hairspray $15

3. Tape it up- Forget scary, let’s go for sexy. Halloween is the only time when it’s acceptable to dress a bit more provocative (if you know what I mean). Going for the Lil’ Kim look with one breast hanging out or a playboy bunny with a deep, plunging neckline. Use double tape to keep your girls in place. It’s a must for Halloween! Double tape is a great buy that comes in a pack of 36 so you can use it again next year. Miss Oops Mishap Tape $6.99

4. Lash out your eyes: This is one beauty item that is always essential for Halloween. Who doesn’t want sexy, big lashes. If not put on correctly, false lashes can damage your own eyelashes so not only should you buy a pair that you can reuse, good quality false eyelashes is a must. Shu uemura False Eyelashes in Luxe Black $20

5. Fishnet legs- Gotta love the fishnet. You can wear a fishnet with any costume and there are so many colors to choose from. Nurse, cop, librarian, you name it. The perfect item to amp your costume. You can never go wrong with basic black but when in doubt opt for nude. Leg Avenue Fishnet stockings $11.99

Fall 2009 Back To School Beauty Trends: Dark Lips

Here’s a beauty trend that you’ll either love or hate. Dark lips is the must have beauty look this fall and you can work the dark trend for any occasion.

Get the dark lips look from any of these fab lipsticks!

  1. Givenchy Rouge Interdit Lipstick in Black Plum- It’s more than just a lipstick. It adds sexy, light-reflective , dramatic color to the lips as it nourishes and moisturizes with powerful antioxidants. Longwearing lipstick that melts right onto the lips. Perfect for achieving the gothic-inspired look seen all through the fall runways.
  2. Dior Rouge Dior Lipstick in Red Premiere- Cherry red lipstick is both innocent and sensual and is a very classic look. It’s very much a popular lip color this fall that’s so alluring. This long-wearing  lipstick  gives the perfect  coverage and shine as it hydrates the lips.
  3. M.A.C. Satin Lipstick in Film Noir- Another almost black dark lipstick that is hot, hot, hot! Film Noir, an intense brown shade from M.A.C. Cosmetics, is a great lip trend to wear on the streets.
  4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Spicy Cinnamon- Here’s a fashionable shade that is full of mega-moisturizers, Vitamin C and E. I fell in love with this color when I saw Jessica Alba wearing this exact shade in a Revlon ad while flipping through Allure Magazine September issue. The color just screams fall and another popular look for back to school.
  5. Urban Decay Lipstick in Oil Slick- This is not your typical highschool goth lipstick. Oil slick is very glossy infused with shimmer and sparkles that nourishes the lips. This is the ultimate dramatic lip color!

Stay tuned for more back to school beauty trends for fall 2009!
