Product Reviews: DIY Halloween - Featuring Amiclubwear

Halloween, my favorite day of the year. Where I can wear weird outfits and  be an actress, and it to be socially acceptable. My favorite part of Halloween is creating a costume, by myself or with friends, that is unique. Here's a little snapshot of Halloween from the past few years.

Han and Leia - Star Wars

Halloween 2015: My Aunt Jess MADE the Leia dress and the belt is from Savers. Han wore a pair of his own pants, shoes lent to him, a work shirt, and a small vest from Savers. The hairdo is actually my own hair!

Darla - Finding Nemo

Halloween 2014: The WORSE Disney Villain. While going to Disney for Halloween, I decided to make the SCARIEST villain out there. The purple shirt is from AC Moore, my Mom pressed the iron on, the boxers are from Target, the fake teeth were from a party store, and I made the head gear wire myself. The fish was from a toy store and I cut a Ziploc baggie, too. 

Melanie Daniels - The Birds

Halloween 2012: The Birds! I purchased the suit off Ebay, the fake birds at a crafts store, and the fake blood at a Halloween store. Heels were from Payless. 

Coraline 

Coraline, a book by Neil Gaiman and a film directed by Henry Selick. A creepy and enchanting film that is very underrated. My Aunt Jess. who made the Leia dress, made the INCREDIBLE Coraline doll. I found costume pieces and patched them together to make this costume, years ago.

Halloween 2k16

College threw me for whirlwind. With all the stresses and assignments, October hit hard and by the time I checked the calendar, I couldn't believe how close I was to Halloween!

​I barely thought of my costume this year. I imagined being Harley Quinn but with the recent success of the film, I didn't want to be another repeat. I decided to think outside the box! 

Keeping the same theme, I decided to go as Poison Ivy and Amiclubwear helped me!

The Clothes You've Always Wanted:
​Amiclubwear

Ladies, you feel the pain. Going out on the weekends and you need an outfit. I usually hit Marshalls but it's hard to find "party" clothes. Forever 21 and Charlotte Rouse hits you with some high prices.

You want the trendiest clothes: dresses with cut outs and lace, those little string thing style on the chest. Pom Pom heels. The latest colors for each season. AND AFFORDABLE.

Amiclubwear is the first site where I have been insanely impressed by the quantity, styles, the trends, and the prices.  The clothes ARE BEAUTIFUL and the prices will soothe your wallet. And, for Halloween, why drop hundreds on an outfit you'll wear for one night or one weekend? Amiclubwear is your destination for cute clothes, trendy looks, and flirty Halloween costumes! - Be. Fabulous. ALL. YEAR. ROUND!

The Package 

I received a beautiful costume from Amiclubwear; a sequence covered leotard with leaf details on the chest and hips. Flirty, fierce and fabulous, I felt ready to take on Halloween. But one thing was missing...

Creating the Accessories 

The costume I received from Amiclubwear SLAYED, but how could I add to it? And it came to me; accessories. I had the glam and the glitz but I wanted to bring it to a whole 'nother level.

My Materials

I went out and hit the store and searched my room for materials and items I needed some items so I hit the mall and shopped online:

• Frederick's of Hollywood Green Heels: $5 (EBay)
• Hot glum gun: $2.84 (Walmart)
• NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil Cashmere: $4.77 (Target) 
• Mini Gluesticks: $2.50 (AC Moore)
• Garland Maple Ivy: $7.99 (AC Moore)
• Green Tights: $6.99 (Spirit)

I then check my room and used

• Naked 2 Pallet 
• Revlon Are you Red-dy​

Not shown in pictures but used on Halloween

• Green eye liner
• Green mascara
• 3 shades of green eye shadow

How I Made the Accessories

With the ivy from the craft store, I spent over two hours cutting and gluing. I would estimate how much I needed, glue pieces together, and cut leaves and stems on the pieces I cut. I made anklets, bracelets, and hair clips. 

Accessories: The Final Product

After cleaning up the hanging glue and big globs, the accessories were finished!
