Don't Forget About Your Makeup!

2009-10-26T11:30:00.000-07:00

This Halloween, no costume is complete without the right makeup. In this two part series, we’ll show you what makeup can be used for what costume, and how to apply it.

If you plan on being a vampire, a wolf, a zombie, or anything that might require some blood, you have to have our Blood Gel.Blood Gel is a deep red syrup-based blood that never dries, giving the look of oozing, wet, thick blood. Washes off easily with soap and water. Apply with a paint brush, Q-tip, or your finger.

No clown costume is complete without a full out face of makeup. Sure, that red nose is important, but the white face and special designs are the most important part! Our Bozo Makeup Kit is the easiest way to get all the makeup you’d need for a clown costume in one place. Make-Up kit includes large tube of white cream make-up, six mulitcolor crayons (white, red, black, blue, green and yellow) and one applicator sponge. Use the sponge to cover the entirety of your face white, then use the crayons to draw fun shapes atop the white. Also check out another clown kit here.

Joining the army for one night only? The best soldiers know you can’t blend in without some camo. Our Camouflage Makeup Kit, This E-Z Character FX makeup kit includes: Two white sponges, Mini shaker of powder, Mini puff, Small flat brush, and Black, wolf brown and green make-up. Use the kit to paint stripes of green and brown that extend across your entire face!

Another must have is our Colored Liquid Body Latex Paint. Use colored liquid latex to create exotic, dazzling and durable fantasy designs. Colored Liquid Body Latex is bold and rich with color and has excellent elastic properties allowing for ease of movement and comfort. Once applied, these fantasy designs can walk, dance, and even swim with you so long as they don’t get heavy friction. To remove, simply scratch loose an edge and peel off.

Have to fake an injury? It’s easy with our Ex Fx Injury Kit. Kit includes blood gel for the cut, a white makeup sponge to fake that pale look you get when you’re hurt, a black stipple sponge for the blood gel and an ‘injury stack’ with four colors to fake it well!

Any fairy costume isn’t complete without a TON of glitter. Thankfully, our Face Painting Glitter comes in 8 different colors! Available in the following colors: Opalescent, Silver, Gold, Red, Orange, Green, Blue, and Purple. Perfect for showing team spirit at your next sporting event or putting a finishing touch on your Halloween costume. Pick up a stick in every color and let your imagination go wild!

Scariest Costumes for Girls!

2009-10-26T11:27:00.000-07:00

TOP FIVE SCARIEST CHILDREN’S COSTUMES FOR GIRLS

We know most girls prefer to be pretty princesses on Halloween, but we also know there are some girls who are just born to be bad and want to rock it scary-style while they Trick or Treat. So, we’ve created a list just for those girls, a list of costumes so scary you might swear you accidentally switched your child with someone’s zombie.

For those who want one foot in the water and one foot out, try ourDazzling Devil Children’s Costume. This Dazzling Devil is adorable in red and black. Dress has black trim hem and criss-cross front panel, and sheer red flowing sleeves. Also included are red headband horns and of course a pointed red tail. Perfect for those who want a little bit of scare and a little bit of pretty!

Feeling bad? Try our Snow White Evil Queen Teen Costume. This officially licensed Disney costume is a perfect way to illustrate that you’re smart, evil and you mean business! It features a great bluish purple silk dress with batwing sheer sleeves with gold detailing, as well as a fabulous foam collar, emblem, hood and of course, a crown! If Snow White’s lessons are any indication, a girl in this costume is not to be messed with.

Scary Harry Potter fans will fawn over our Death Eater Bellatrix Children’s Costume. Our Female Death Eater Bellatrix costume comes complete with dress with cummerbund and attached hood, and mask. This costume is perhaps the scariest female costume we’ve got! Just picture Bellatrix broadcast widescreen in the movies with that terribly maniacal laugh. Channel her evil and go to town! Just remember, death eaters may scare younger children, so wear with caution.

Practice your kung-fu moves in our Jewel Dragon Ninja Costume. This costume is only as scary as you make it, so learning some karate is advisable! You’ve got to be able to show off the skills to match your outfit! Includes a polyester jumpsuit, princess satin vest with character screen print dragon and face mask.

Brother and sister teams can rock our Pirate costumes. For girls, check out ourPirate Girl Elite Collection Child Costume. It includes: Mid-length dress, gold trimmed lace-up vinyl vest, tulle petticoat, sash, bandana and jeweled choker. Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of… juice? We know you’re too young for rum, but that doesn’t mean you can rock this bad to the bone costume!

What's your fantasy this Halloween? Part II

2009-10-21T08:56:00.000-07:00

As we stated in our last post, we think Halloween is one of the best times to (safely) act out your fantasies! So, we’ve compiled a veritable short list of costumes we think might push your buttons in the best of ways. Read on, and enjoy!

Maybe you’ve always had a thing for little people. Don’t worry, although we think it’s strange, we won’t tell anyone. But we will recommend you get your hands on our Deluxe Munchkin Man Adult Costume. Deluxe Munchkin Man adult costume includes jacket with attached vest, pants, and gloves. We wish to welcome you to Munchkin Land!

Always wanted a Mary Poppins moment? Our English Nanny Adult Costume will give you just that! Includes a velveteen black coat with attached blouse and skirt, hat, and a functional flower handbag. And by functional, we mean that while we wish we could, we can’t guarantee that you can pull a full size floor lamp out of it.

If your fantasy is something just a little bit dark, try our Evil Pixie Adult Halloween Costume. This sexy fairy costume features a Black dress with Dark Purple sequin trim, matching choker and pair of glovelettes, and sheer Black wings with Purple accents.

Go even darker with our Fallen Angel Adult Costume. Who said angels always wore white? This one doesn’t! Includes Black velvet dress with sheer sleeves, silver accents, halo and wings with Marabou trim.

Though, speaking of white angels, if that’s your kind of thing (some of us have happy fantasies, what can we say?), try our Heaven Sent Adult Costume.Heaven Sent is an angelic costume with a filmy overskirt trimmed in gold, criss-cross gold trim at waist, flowing long white sleeves with gold accents, gold wings and a gold halo.

What's your fantasy for Halloween? Part I

2009-10-21T08:55:00.000-07:00

Everyone has a fantasy- you know, the things you dream of doing, being—the things you can’t do or say but wish you could. Thankfully, there’s a little holiday called Halloween, which allows you to dress uptight or skanky, pretty or ugly, and anywhere in between. It allows you to live out any of your fantasies (as long as they’re safe!).

Ladies, maybe you have a thing for power. Sure, you like it in your men but you like it better for yourself. Rock ourAlly Catraz Sexy Adult Costume. The super-sexy Ally Catraz adult Halloween costume includes an orange two way zipper dress with front and back screenprint, removable badge, handcuffs, and booking card.

Perhaps you’ve just always dreamed of being queen. If so, try our Black Queen Adult Fairytales Costume. This regal costume includes full length panne mock corseted velvet gown with dramatic silver lame center panel, sheer sleeve drapes, and a crown headpiece with attached veil.

Some fantasies are pretty strange…such as hoping you’ll wake up one day like Gregor Samsa and have undergone a metamorphosis into an insect. Well, if there’s any day to live out a fantasy like that, it’s Halloween, and we’ve got a Cockroach Adult Costume to fit the bill.

Maybe you’ve always fantasized about getting grandma back for all those ugly sweaters. You want to do it nicely, let her down easy, but you need a teeny bit of revenge. Try our Crazy Cat Lady Costume. Costume includes a pink bathrobe with tiny cat heads all over it, as well as a headpiece with even more kitties! MEOW!

Always wanted to be a fairy? Try our Dix Tinkerbell Adult Costume.Costume includes: Metallic ragged dress with iridescent insets and waist tie and wings. We’d recommend some fairy dust as well!

Men's Plus Size Costumes Part II

2009-10-12T08:51:00.001-07:00

The last in our mini-series of plus size costumes for men who aren’t ashamed of the fact that they don’t devote their entire lives to the gym and know it’s ok to have one (ok, many) Bud Lights now and again, this is part III! Halloween Adventures has compiled a list of the best plus size costumes out there for both men and women, and we’re sure it takes the cake to any other list out there. You see, our costumes aren’t different than those for skinny minnies. They’re just the same outfits made a little bit bigger. So shop away and feel good about doing it!

We’ll start with the most powerful man in Egyptian history, the man who ordered the pyramids built from his cement throne. That’s right, it’s Pharaoh. Our Pharaoh Historical Egypt Costume in Plus Size is bound to impress. It includes a long white tunic with stripes at the bottom, gold collar with Egyptian print fabric accents, matching gold belt and a fabric headpiece with stripes and gold band. Badass, for sure.

One of the great things about a pirate costume is that you really can’t go wrong. It’s the never fail option. It’s always bad, always just a little bit scary, and always impresses the ladies. Our Pirate Halloween Costume in Plus Size Adult is an absolute winner. This costume is a classic and includes a red & black head sash, white shirt with attached skull trimmed black vest, belt and red & black striped pants.

Looking to shake things up a bit? Try a classic police officer costume. Yes, we know it’s been done before, but it’s another no fail option, and to be honest, wearing one is quite the power trip. Our Police Officer Classic Costume in Plus Size includes shirt, pants, hat, belt, badge, handcuffs, and nightstick. It’s guaranteed to make you feel just a bit cooler as soon as you put it on.

Speaking of cooler, if you’re looking for something cool and different, check out our Samurai Warrior Costume in Plus Size. The Samurai Warrior costume includes: hat with decorative ribbon, striped shirt, printed overtunic, black waist sash, and black pants. It makes you feel positively bad to the bone in a way that Americans just can’t seem to manage. Not to mention, it’s a great way to travel without actually leaving your town.

If scary is what you’re craving, our Satan Adult Halloween Costume in Plus Size is the perfect match. It includes a red shirt/cape and devil horns. We’d recommend you pair it with daring red face paint and a small black beard. Of course, a maniacal, evil laugh can’t hurt either.

Sadly, this concludes our plus size series. Remember, there are always more options on our website at Halloween Adventures. We’ve got looks for all shapes and sizes, for every idea and every day of the year. Just because it’s not Halloween doesn’t mean there isn’t reason to celebrate, so log on and look around.

Plus Size Men's Costumes Part I

2009-10-12T08:43:00.000-07:00

You’re too sexy for your shirt, too sexy for your shirt, so sexy it hurts! You heard us. Not all women are chiseled, not all men are body builders. We at Halloween Adventure believe that everyone can find a great costume, which is why we’ve begun a miniseries on plus size costumes for both men and women. In this, the second post out of three, you’ll see a myriad of flattering and cool options for this Halloween season, no matter what your size.

Remember when your mother used to beg you to stop playing basketball and go study so you could get into med school? Yeah, well, that didn’t happen, did it? It’s too bad, but we’ve got a better, cheaper and easier idea: dress up as a doctor for Halloween. Make mom proud! Our Doctor Dan Adult Plus Size Costumeincludes shirt, pants, cap and mask. Just don’t try to perform any operations. You need an actual education for that.

Speaking of mom, you can always tell her she should be glad you weren’t one of those hippies. Bring back her worst nightmares with our Hippie Man Halloween Costume in plus size. This Adult Hippie costume includes: White v-neck shirt, floral print vest with trim, floral print bell-bottom style pants with elastic waistband, matching head band and belt. Peace love and happiness, man.

Feeling sexy this Halloween? Mimic THE man, Hugh Hefner in our greatHugh Devil You Costume in Plus Size. Includes jacket with attached tail, cravat, horns, and toy cigar. Pants are, clearly, optional. Unfortunately, the “girls next door” aren’t included, but hey, that girl who lives next door is kind of hot, isn’t she? Maybe she’d be a good stand in for Holly Madison.

Nothing is what it seems when you wear our Mad Hatter Plus Size Costume. We recommend you stay away from anything mind enhancing when wearing this getup, because you never know when crazy things can happen, like white rabbits running down the street. Includes a velveteen jacket with attached faux shirt, argyle print pants, bowtie, and a three-tier hat.

Show history your worth in our Musketeer Fighter Costume in Plus Size.This outfit includes an oversized beige shirt and a black velvet vest with an emblem of armor. Pair with your most comfortable black pants and a top hat and you’re good to go. Hear ye, hear ye, the musketeer is near ye!

Throw a Costume Party!

2009-09-14T08:34:00.000-07:00

So, you've been thinking about your costume party for months and by now, you have everything planned right down to the last detail right? Okay, maybe not. But that's whereHalloweenAdventure.com comes in.

To help make this year's party the best ever and thrust you into the costume party hall of fame, we've taken the liberty of compiling a to-do list for you. Follow our simple guide to get your party started right!

1. Consider the theme: Are you planning a general costume party this year, or do you want to shake things up a bit? Theme parties are becoming more popular with each season and many are finding that a carefully organized theme costume party is the only way to celebrate. Take a poll and select a theme that is will be appreciated by the majority of your guests.

2. Compile your guest list: After you've selected a theme, you'll know whether or not your costume party will be kid and general audience friendly. Compile your guest list to include your family, friends, and coworkers, but don't worry about hurting someone's feelings if you don't really want them to come to your party. This is your night to shine and have fun--it isn't a night to feel obligated to invite anyone for feelings' sake.

3. Plan the refreshment list: Depending on the number of people you plan to invite to your party, the cost of the refreshments could be rather expensive. Try to choose snacks and beverages that are easy to display and easy on the wallet. Chips, candies, a vegetable platter, and pizza should satisfy the majority of your guests without breaking the bank and you can always opt for homemade punch over expensive soft drinks and beer. If you find that your party just wouldn't be a party without a few alcoholic refreshments, you can encourage your guests to bring their own.

4. Get ready to decorate: The more impressive your decorations, the more exciting and genuine your Halloween party will be. Even if you don't have the time or the means to decorate the entire house, you need to decorate the areas that your guests will see. The front lawn, the porch, the main room, and the bathroom should be decorated even if it's only with orange lights and jack-o-lanterns.

5. Select the music: The music you select could make or break your party because people tend to mold their emotions around the music they hear! If you're like most of us, your party invitation list will consist of a montage of people from all walks of life and not all of them will appreciate your taste in music. The solution? Simply select classic Halloween music that will appeal to almost everyone. "Monster-Mash", "Thriller", the "Halloween" movie theme and other popular, well-know songs are sure to appeal to the majority of your guests!

Now, get to work, Halloween is just around the corner!

How'd You Spend Your Labor Day?

2009-09-08T10:03:00.001-07:00

Here at Halloween Adventure, we're big fans of Labor Day Weekend. Here's why: it means that Halloween is just around the corner! It signals the beginning of fall, and you know what that means: HALLOWEEN TIME! Once autumn hits, we begin shopping for our favorite costumes. This year, we're thinking we want to be Alice for the holiday. We love her childish innocence, and we're excited to head down the rabbit hole!

Here are our favorite Alice in Wonderland costumes:

ALICE IN WONDERLAND COSTUMES

This Halloween, go down the rabbit hole and follow Alice around Wonderland. This famous trippy tale is the perfect story to model your Halloween costumes around, as there are millions of characters to mimic. Just be careful you don’t try anything labeled “eat me.” As Alice has taught us, those little mushrooms can be bad news!

Ladies can start with our Alice Adult Fairytale Classics Costume. Includes a blue satin dress with attached apron, and a black headband. You may want to practice a perfect British accent with a hint of ditz, as we’re aware Alice wasn’t the brightest crayon in the box. We recommend carrying around a tea cup, or at least some of those valentines hearts as props.

Go the opposite route with our Alice in Gothland costume. A riff off the Alice tale, this costume is sexy, spicy, and any other word you’d never associate with the original Alice. The costume includes dress with attached petticoat, apron, choker, headband, and gloves. It may not be typical, but it’s definitely a welcome change!

Oh! It’s the white rabbit! He’s late, he’s late, for a very important date! Channel the white furry friend in this fabulous tale with our Alice in Wonderland Classic White Rabbit Hat. Make sure you can find the Mad Hatter, because you know there’s a tea party to attend! Make this costume even better by adding a long pocket watch.

Go all out rabbit in our Deluxe White Rabbit Adult Costume. It includes rabbit body, feet, mitts, vest, jacket, watch and hat. This one’s sure to have you right on the money, as it’s as perfect of an imitation as a human could get! Whiskers aren’t included, but we’d recommend drawing them on and adding a pink nose!

Who could forget the deliriously ridiculous Mad Hatter? Replicate the ridiculous in our Mad Hatter Adult Fairytale Classics Costume. Would you like some more tea, my dear? Oh, never mind that you haven’t had a first cup! Includes Multi-color hat, Orange jacket, Light Green pants, and vest with tie.

Mimic the dumbest twins ever (or perhaps, just the most devious!) in ourTweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum costume. Costume includes a one piece jumpsuit with attached suspenders, bowtie, and propeller hat. For a look that’s nearly identical to the one in the famous Disney film, try this one.

Crazy Horror Costumes!

Deliciously Edible Costumes!

2009-08-31T09:22:00.000-07:00

Alright, so you can't actually eat these - but they look good enough to eat, don't you think? Ok, so we know it’s not exactly candy, but who can resist this Gingerbread Man Costume? Featuring painted on facial features, as well as detailing on the arms and painted on buttons, this costume is a large jumpsuit with a matching mask.

Ladies with no shame can try ourStrawberry Tart Adult Costume. This one’s sweet as pie (or should we say tart?) and includes dress in Strawberry Red with white collar, built in wire hoop at bottom, white boot tops and the fabulous Strawberry style wig. It’s silly sweetness at its best!

If you like our Strawberry Tart, you’ll absolutely die for our Pumpkin Spice Adult Costume. This one, like it’s strawberry sister, isn’t for the faint of heart, but it’s an adorable getup of confectionary goodness. It includes dress in Pumpkin orange with built in wire hoop at bottom, white boot tops and the fabulous Pumpkin style wig. When else can you wear a bright orange wig and get away with it?

Feeling a need for nature’s sweetness? Check out our Purple Grapes Fruit Funny Halloween Costume. Includes Purple tunic with pockets for balloons and leaf, hood, and balloons*. Pair with some of our other "food" costumes for a humorous group costume! Just beware; it might be hard to fit through doors! You can also try the green version of this costume.

Looking for something a bit more filling? Try our Hot Dog Funny Halloween Costume. This one’s a guaranteed crowd pleaser, a one-piece costume that goes on easily over the head. It even features a stripe of mustard down the middle, and best of all, you won’t smell like food even though you’re wearing it!

Make it a couple’s costume with our Ketchup Bottle Funny Food Adult Costume. This one piece suit includes a funny “cap” hat, and even reads “ketchup” across the front, just in case a few stupid people can’t tell what you are.
