8 Beauty Boo Basket Ideas For The Person Who Can Never Have Too Much Makeup

There are so many ways to live your spookiest, best Halloween life. Once you have your killer costume in your closet, your scary movie marathon planned out, and all the fun-sized candy you could want on hand, there's another way to have an even more spooktacular October than ever before. To help spread the scary spirit to your friends, there are some great beauty boo basket ideas out there for the most glam gift ever.

When I was growing up, my family called them "Hauntings," but a boo basket is pretty much a Halloween-themed care package you send to anyone you think deserves a little extra treat. And hopefully, that person sends along their own boo basket to surprise someone else, until you've started a full-on chain of Halloween gift-giving. From Halloween-themed bath bombs to ghoulish makeup, there are a ton of beauty products out there that make perfect fillers in the boo baskets for all the makeup lovers in your life.

Halloween is, in part, all about treats, and even if you and your friends are a little too old to go door-to-door, that doesn't mean you should miss out on getting some goodies. If you're ready to serve the spooky-feels, peep these eight beauty boo basket ideas that'll carve a smile on anyone's face below.

October and Halloween means plenty of special fall scents and themed items, so you can send your friends and family a Halloween spa boo bast for maximum relaxing. Too Cool For School has a Pumpkin 24K Gold Mask ($8, Ulta Beauty) which soothes and brightens skin.

With the body and face covered, all your tranquil boo basket needs is a Project Beauty Hairgurt Mask ($14, Crate and Barrel).

For The Extraterrestrial Creatures...

An alien-themed boo basket is a great way to say, "I think you're out of this world," and it's easier (and kinder) to do than making a crop circle on someone's lawn.

Tarte's Treasure Pot Glitter Gel ($15, Tarte Cosmetics) will give your friend a dusting of luminous stars wherever they use it.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Halloween classic, and if you have any Jack Skellington fans in your life, you can celebrate them with some special gifts.

Help your giftee enchant all who see them with L'Oréal's Studio Secrets Magic Lumi Highlighter ($14, Ulta Beauty). The beguiling shimmer of UOMA Beauty's Black Magic Metallic Lipstick ($26, Ulta Beauty) is a spellbinding final touch. OK, I'm out of puns, but you'll truly be the cat's pajamas with this one.
