Wicked Glam Witch Makeup Look
Halloween makeup looks are oh-so-fun because you can get as kooky, dark, and spooky with your color stories and creativity as you want, which was exactly what I did for this October-inspired yet wearable witchy makeup look using the stunning Kaleidos Makeup The Escape Pod Palette.
I even drew on a pair of black eyeliner wings, an element I tend to avoid in my more common beauty routine but without it this look just wouldn’t have felt as wicked. The finished looked also gave off some much appreciated Maleficent vibes as it includes her iconic hues from the animated film.

1. Emily - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with the "Amulet" graphic novel series. The story seemed promising at first, but it quickly became convoluted and hard to follow. The plot twists felt forced and confusing, and the characters lacked depth. Additionally, I found the artwork to be quite average compared to other graphic novels I've read. Overall, I just couldn't connect with this series, and it left me feeling underwhelmed.
2. Mike - 1 star
I don't understand the hype around the "Amulet" graphic novel series. I found the story to be cliché and predictable. The characters were one-dimensional and didn't develop enough throughout the series. The illustrations were also unimpressive, and I've seen much better art in other graphic novels. The whole series felt like it was trying too hard to be epic and emotional, but it fell flat for me. I couldn't wait to finish reading it and move on to something better.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I really wanted to like the "Amulet" graphic novel series, but it just didn't grab my attention. The story started off interestingly enough, but it quickly became repetitive and uninspiring. The characters lacked depth and the dialogue felt forced. The artwork was decent, but nothing remarkable. I was hoping for a thrilling adventure, but instead, I found myself bored and uninterested. I wouldn't recommend this series to anyone looking for a captivating graphic novel experience.

I had high expectations for the "Amulet" graphic novel series, but it fell short in every aspect. The story lacked originality and felt like a collection of recycled fantasy tropes. The characters were forgettable and their actions often didn't make sense. The artwork was underwhelming and didn't add anything special to the series. It's unfortunate because I really wanted to enjoy this series, but it just didn't deliver the excitement and depth I was hoping for.
