If you’re an avid runner or Disney fan, then you’ve probably seen the Brooks running collaboration with runDisney that was released earlier this year that essentially broke the internet — you know, the adorable Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse sneakers. And with the success of that collaboration, runDisney x Brooks have partnered again to create Halloween shoes and we have the scoop on this line inspired by no one other than the iconic Disney Villains.
Yes, you read that right. The Ghost 17 runDisney Halloween shoes feature the iconic colors of some of Disney’s most popular villains — think purple, neon green/yellow, blue and black inspired by Maleficent, Ursula and The Evil Queen.
What Do The runDisney x Brooks Halloween Shoes Look Like?
The Ghost 17 runDisney Halloween shoes are glow-in-the-dark and feature soft nitrate-cushioning in the heel for a pillowy landing with each step and a breathable mesh upper that allows your feet to breathe with every mile. Not only do these shoes have a vibrant neon green sole, but this version features flex grooves to help with heel-to-toe flow for even smoother transitions while you run.
Two styles of this shoe will be available — purple/black/green and black/chameleon. The first has a purple outer, neon green laces (with Mickey Mouse icons), and a neon green sole and the other with a black outer, purple and black laces (with sucker icons inspired by Ursula) and a neon green sole. Also, inside the bottom of each shoe, you’ll find an image of a cauldron with Disneyland Half Marathon Weekend 2025 written to remember your time on the course if you participated.
Last but not least, the Disneyland logo can be found on the back of the shoes too. As an added bonus, the shoes come with themed race badges featuring Ursula, Cruella De Vil, Maleficient and Pain and Panic alongside the corresponding race distances.
Where to Buy The runDisney x Brooks Halloween Shoes
The Ghost 17 runDisney Halloween shoes are set to debut at the Halloween Half Marathon Expo at Disneyland on September 4th. While runners at the expo will have first dibs on the shoes IRL, they will be available for purchase online starting September 10th on the Brooksrunning.com runDisney landing page.
Similar to the previous launch, Brooks Run Club members will have an opportunity to shop the launch ahead of everyone else. It’s totally free to sign up, and it doesn’t take up too much of your time either. So, be sure to sign up here for a chance to score free early access to the Brooks x runDisney Halloween launch.
The shoes will retail for $160.
Make sure to head on over to Disneyland to check out the shoes in person at the expo or to BrooksRunning.com to snag a pair before they’re gone.
It’s worth noting that the spring Brooks x runDisney collection sold out super quick when it initially launched online. Given how much people love Halloween and the Disney Villains, we’re sure these will sell out just as fast.
As a bonus, we did get word that Brooks will be restocking the Ghost Max 2 Mickey Mouse, the Adrenaline GTS 24 runDisney, and the adorable Ghost Max 2 Minnie Mouse (which SheKnows’ shopping editor reviewed here). So, if you didn’t get a chance to snag the Brooks x runDisney debut drop, you will have a chance to get your hands on a pair once again. We highly recommend signing up for Brooks’ Run Club membership ASAP. You’ll also be notified once the shoes finally go live on site.

Who says Halloween pet toys have to be all spooky, and no fun? After our daily Amazon snooping, we just discovered a Halloween toy that’s equal parts spooky, and stimulating for your precious pup (and it’s under $15)!
The cool thing about the Lilford Halloween Pumpkin & Ghost toy is that it’s a two-in-one type of toy. While the pumpkin part is a plush toy full of treats (yes, you can put your dog’s favorite treats), but the three ghost plushies attached are squeaker toys! Due to all of the sweet additions, this toy has become a widespread must amongst dog owners who want their pups to have interactive, stimulating fun (and you can get them to exercise with it too)!
Now, if you need some more opnions, especially from fellow dog owners, we got you.
One shopper said, “My dog is obsessed with this toy. She’s always loved the burrow/hunt type toys and this one is perfect for spooky season. My mom’s dog even comes over and tries to steal the little ghosties and take them home. It’s a big hit and well made for the price point. I would buy this again!”
“Our dog loves this toy, has been playing with it for over a month and never gets tired of it. He pulls the ghosts out and sometimes plays with them or sometimes the pumpkin,” another shopper said. “Super simple to put the ghosts back in, he likes taking them back out again. It’s very durable, he’s an aggressive chewer/player and it has held up very well.”
A third shopper added, “Cute Halloween toy for the pups! My little one really loves the little ghost.”

Nude lipsticks can be a bit of a gamble. Not every so-called “natural shade” is universally flattering, and some can even leave you looking like you accidentally swiped concealer on your pout instead of a nude-hued lipstick. But even the most skeptical beauty fans are raving about Maybelline’s Vivid Matte Liquid Lipstick in Nude Flush, claiming it nails the ‘my lips, but better’ vibe — and earns them endless compliments to boot.
“This has a really creamy consistency that I truly love. The texture is luxurious and the color is vibrant,” one fan gushed, perfectly summing up the appeal of this $6 liquid lipstick. With its mousse-like formula that dries to a velvety matte finish, it is a much more comfortable wear than many lipstick fans think of with liquid lipsticks.
The Nude Flush shade is also winning the hearts of shoppers who prefer a more natural makeup look. A shopper noted, “The color is like my lips, but better! The matte finish makes it look more natural when I want a minimal makeup look.”
One particularly picky nude lipstick wearer admitted this is the nude lip color she’d been trying to hunt down for ages, saying, “Most nudes just make me look sick and extra pale, but this one worked perfectly. Even my husband made a comment about my lip color when I got home later that afternoon.”
Customers say application couldn’t be easier, either. “They’re easy to apply with their application wands. They go on quite smoothly,” raved another satisfied customer. And while many liquid mattes can feel sticky or dry, that’s absolutely not the case here. “No stickiness… I forgot it was even on until someone asked what color I was wearing!”
For a lipstick that’s described as a “win” by picky beauty fans and even earns compliments from casual acquaintances and spouses alike, Maybelline’s Nude Flush is hard to beat. Try it for yourself and see if it’s not the perfect finishing touch to your natural look. Your lips, but better? Absolutely.

Navigating the world of makeup, especially foundation, can be a tricky endeavor for people with mature skin. The common wisdom suggests steering clear of powder-based foundations, fearing they might accentuate wrinkles or settle into lines in an unflattering way. Well, it’s time to push those fears aside! PÜR Beauty’s 4-in-1 Powder Foundation is changing the game, showing that powder can indeed be a mature skin’s best friend.
Unlike other powder foundations that might come off as too “cakey” or highlight less-than-desirable features, PÜR Beauty’s foundation stands out by delivering a natural look. How does it achieve this? The secret lies in its carefully selected active ingredients. Titanium dioxide provides broad spectrum SPF 15 protection, while the brand’s proprietary Ceretin Complex, a blend of encapsulated retinol, lactic acid, shea butter, and ceramides, works to gently improve the look of skin tone and texture.
Customers are raving about how this foundation boosts their natural skin without feeling like they’re wearing any makeup at all. One user shares, “TLDR, this foundation provides a boost to your natural skin…pores exist but aren’t highlighted and are slightly ‘blurred.’” Another delighted shopper says, “My skin loves this stuff. I apply it with a buffing brush and it blends and wears beautifully without oxidizing.”
What sets PÜR Beauty’s 4-in-1 Powder Foundation apart from the rest is not just its formula but its versatility and ease of use. “I have very sensitive skin and PÜR is non-irritating. It gives me a flawless non makeup look,” one review notes. Meanwhile, a 56-year-old customer reveals, “Pur Minerals 4 in 1 covers it all, I don’t even need to use any concealer…It doesn’t sit in your laugh lines like liquid foundation does.”
For those who’ve been hesitant about powder foundations, PÜR Beauty’s 4-in-1 Powder Foundation might just be the product to change your mind. With its skin-loving ingredients and glowing reviews, it’s clear why so many mature shoppers are calling it their go-to for achieving that coveted ‘my skin but better’ effect.

We’ve loved Clinique’s Black Honey lipstick for decades, giving us that rosy red color we’ve all strived for, and then, they answered our prayers with a Pink Honey to give us that pink-y glow. Now, after years of waiting, they decided to answer our pleas once again but transforming their revolutionary, flattering shade into a nude color. We’ve always loved our nude lipsticks, and now, we finally have Nude Honey. Even better news? It’s finally on Amazon!
Clinique Almost Lipstick in Nude Honey is a universally beloved and universally flattering new lipstick shade that shoppers adore for getting a soft, semi-glossy color to the lips. Not only does the buildable shade look stunning on every skin tone, but thanks to its rich ingredients, it moisturizes your lips for comfortable, all-day wear.
And while it’s a new shade, it’s as loved as can be by shoppers.
One shopper said, “I LOVE Nude Honey. I thought it might be too warm for my skin tone but not at all. On me it looks pinker than what I’ve seen in photos and it is a perfect MLBB shade.”
Another shopper added, “The same great Almost Lipstick you know and love, now in Nude! I LOVE the new Nude Honey shade. For me, it’s a much more versatile neutral than Black Honey and Pink Honey.”
“Love the nude honey is a sheer my lips but better. You can build it. Regular lipstick is just to heavy fir me. This is more like a balm with a hint if lipstick. Black honey is slightly too dark for my already darker lips. The nude honey is my new BFF,” a third shopper said on Ulta.

One deal you can’t miss out on is the one for Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey, which is now under $20.
Black Honey is the viral lipstick that shoppers around the world can’t get enough of. Along with being named the number one lip color shade in the US in 2023, it’s a glossy lipstick that looks stunning on every skin tone. Yes, every single skin tone. That’s why it’s so beloved: it works for everyone! You can wear it deep, you can make it look more sheer; whatever!
It’s a truly versatile lipstick, so it’s no wonder it’s a staple in Hollywood. In fact, it’s been frequently used on films and television shows we all love.
As we said, here are the most notable times Black Honey was used on TV and movies:
Liv Tyler in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Per Polygon, the makeup artist for Lord of the Rings revealed the team used this lipstick on Liv Tyler for her character Arwen in Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.

Troian Bellisario in Pretty Little Liars
Makeup artist Cindy Miguens told The List that she used Black Honey a lot for Troian Bellisario on Pretty Little Liars, saying, “Anything that can line, color, and condition your lips quickly cuts time spent in the makeup chair and is worth keeping in your bag.”

Winter can be really hard on every inch of our skin. And after a while, some problems can build up. We know it’s not one of the best topics of conversation, but we have to address it: calluses are stubborn, especially when they’re on our feet. You need an affordable product that will help ease that rough skin and get it back to normal. That’s why we tracked down the foot cream that can take down any callus, and this Amazon No. 1 Best Seller is on sale for $8.
Your feet will feel so soft and smooth thanks to the Lee Beauty Professional Foot Callus Remover ($8). This delicate cream removes rough and unsightly skin from your foot in a matter of minutes. The Lee Beauty Professional Foot Callus Remover relieves skin from nasty buildup, and reveals the smooth skin beneath the surface. Just add this gel to the irritated or rough area for five to 10 minutes. Follow-up with a gentle foot scrubbing tool and there you have it. It’s really that easy.
Right now, you can add the Lee Beauty Professional Foot Callus Remover for 30 percent off it’s original price. But we’re sure you’re still wondering: is it really worth it? Just read what satisfied shoppers had to say about this foot cream — “I wish I took some pics for you guys. Because for those of you out there suffering from tough skin on feet, we all rely on these reviews to not waste out money! But I can tell you right now, if you have tried the foot peels which take weeks to fully work, you will be blown away by this callus remover cream,” one shopper, who said this cream “melts away tough dead skin,” wrote in their glowing five-star review.
“This is actually a great product. I suggest putting it on & then covering your foot with gauze a little to allow it to develop. It makes your foot baby smooth. If you pair it with a foot scrubber stone, you’ll have baby feet,” another shopper said. “I bought this to remove the hard skin on my heels and the balls of my feet. The instructions are simple to follow and after using my rasp, it made my feet feeling soft and sandal ready! I recommend this product to make your feet feel salon pedicure soft,” a third shopper raved. Take it from these shoppers and don’t hesitate — add the Lee Beauty Professional Foot Callus Remover to your cart ASAP.

Spring break somehow came and went (can someone please explain how time works in 2025?), and beauty lovers are already shifting their focus to summer skin. And if you’ve spent any time scrolling through #BeautyTok or Instagram reels, you already know that Sol de Janeiro’s Bum Bum Cream is basically the unofficial It Girl body cream for supple, soft skin.
But savvy shoppers swear there’s an Amazon beauty underdog that holds its own at a third of the price: Palmer’s Brazilian Coco Body Cream. With its beloved coconut formula and years‑long skincare cred, it’s giving the cult favorite a serious run for its money.
Fans rave that Palmer’s whipped body cream delivers that “summer‑in‑a‑jar skin” vibe thanks to coconut oil and vitamin E, which pack in 48‑hour moisture without feeling greasy. “Love the smell and super moisturizing,” one reviewer gushes. “It’s an awesome enough [lookalike] for the SDJ Bum Bum cream and it won’t burst the wallet. Will continue buying this!”
The body cream’s potent ingredients, like Brazilian guarana, açaí, collagen, and elastin, visibly firm and tone key areas — think bum, bust, arms, thighs and stomach. As one shopper declared in her “Better than the other firming cream!” review: “This is better than that other more expensive cream. The smell is amazing! It’s moisturizing, non greasy and after using for 10 days in a row, I have noticed a huge difference in how my skin looks now on my upper thighs and hips.”
Longtime Palmer’s fans appreciate that this body butter stays true to the brand’s 180‑year heritage of using plant‑based, cruelty‑free ingredients. “Great Hydration Without Greasiness,” reads another review from a satisfied shopper: “I’ve used Palmer’s coco butter that comes in the tub for decades…Fast forward to the new whipped coco butter cream and I’m absolutely hooked. In the past I bought the Bum Bum Cream a few times but it doesn’t hold a candle to this.”
Still skeptical? One more shopper sums it up: “My wig was blown back by how good this product is. No point in spending triple the cost with that other brand. The smell is great, it’s lightweight, soaks in and does the job just fine…very light‑weight.” And even the most discerning voices acknowledge its merits: “I wouldn’t say this is a exact replacement for the Bum Bum Cream…Not greasy or sticky…has merits on its own.”
Whether you’re after firmer, smoother skin or just a dreamy coconut scent, Palmer’s Brazilian Coco Cream proves that just because it’s not splashed across every beauty blogger’s vanity doesn’t mean it isn’t every bit as good. And at just $13, why not give the firming body lotion a try?
