Happy Halloween: Creepy Cool Cosmetics & Spooky Skincare

Not directly related to the tropics but way too fun not to share; the best Halloween beauty products! Judging by the amount of Halloween costumes and gadgets in stores, Singapore seems to be getting ready for Halloween taking this holiday very serious. The following Korean Beauty brands offer great products to add to this weekend’s celebration of horror. Colour your lips deep blood red with Holika Holika’s Bloody Oil Tint as the perfect finishing touch to your Zombie Nurse costume, or bring your skin back to life with Too Cool For School’s Pumpkin Sleeping Pack after a long night of spooky partying…


1.) BERRISOM - BLACK RICE HORROR SKULL MASK 


I absolutely love this – I’m not a big fan of sheet masks (i.e. cotton or fibre sheets which are pre-cut into the shape of your face and soaked in liquid formulas) but this one was too cool to flout.


The sheet that you apply on your face has a spooky skull printed on it, so you can walk around looking even more scary than you already do when wearing a plain sheet mask – the regular white sheet masks freak my husband out big time, and with him many more men I presume. The mask contains black rice extract and collagen, which makes dull and dry skin clear and elastic. I really liked using this mask, apart from the cool skull; good scent, good fit of sheet and no dripping of the product from the mask when you wear it! 

Black Rice Horror Skull Mask 
Price: 4,90 SGD
Available at a.o. Sasa (over 20 stores in Singapore) - Find stores here


2.) JUNTENSHI - BLACK WITCH SKIN PACK



The magic of the Black Witch, an ink black peel-off face mask in this case, removes three impurities and moisturizes the skin in seven ways. In which ways? No clue…the brand is Korean and doesn't seem very internationally oriented. The translation on the back of the pack is in a very cute but minimal kind of English and the website is entirely in Korean. From a blogger in Taiwan I understand that the ingredients are a.o. horse oil and salmon, so that in itself seems creepy enough to me!!!

Black Witch Skin Pack, 125 gram
Price: 29 SGD
Availableat BHG Bugis, 200 Victoria Street, #03-11, Bugis Junction Singapore 188021.


3.) TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL - PUMPKIN SLEEPING PACK


Another face mask, however this Pumpkin Sleeping Pack looks anything but spooky. But with pumpkin as ingredient this adorable product cannot be missing from this list. The texture of the mask is somewhat between a gel and a cream and spreads easily over the face. Apply before you go to bed, and while asleep the formula will smooth, nourish and moisturize the skin. Wash off in the morning. Especially suitable when your skin needs some nourishment after the layers of heavy makeup you’ve been wearing that part of your Zombie Nurse / The Joker / Corpse Bride outfit during Halloween.

The perfect product to get deep red, bloody lips like a vampire. The Bloody Oil Tints are highly pigmented oils that give your lips strong colouring. The moisturizing formula supplies moist to your lips and forms an oil coating layer, making the colour very long-lasting. Perfect for vampires that have a long nocturnal shift ahead of them…
