As many of you probably know, we love stocking spooky makeup collections every Halloween - and this year is no different. Beetlejuice was this year's Halloween hero from Makeup Revolution and we are so wrapped you are all loving it!
The collection consists of a whopping 18 Beetlejuice-esque products. Having the items in the building and packing all your orders got the team chatting about the 1988 movie and who had actually seen it.
NoLo produced the “Beetlejuice… Beetlejuice… Beetlejuice..” cocktail which was also very on brand being totally out there in flavour and presentation. Beetroot vodka, chocolate liqueur, clarified beets, absinthe, beetroot lemonade with a mulled apple foam. Wow!
CoCo at the Roxy’s “Come Mister Tally Man, Tally Me Banana, Daylight Come & We Want To Go Home” was a delight. Caribbean spiced flan with banana ice cream, graveyard soil & Betel scotch drizzle. Very on theme and so tasty. 10/10 would eat again!
Now we’re all in the theatre with the other movie goers and settling in. The opening credits roll and the movie starts off slow. We had all been talking about what it was like but I wasn't really ready for how odd it was going to be.
Beetlejuice is definitely a Halloween classic with its hand made puppets, SFX makeup and (to this day's standard) goofy looking greenscreen effects. All of those things really added to the whole ‘strange and unusual’ feel of the movie though.
Throughout the movie we had those “oh that’s what that is” moments as the items in the Beetlejuice collection were mentioned or referenced.
We spotted some references...
