Life
Since it's arrival into the lives of everyone who loves social media, Snapchat has continued to impress. Among the things that have caused a lasting impression are its lovely filters. From puppy dogs to scary zombies, Snapchat has literally thought of it all. Being that you have all of these awesome filters to choose from, your choices for Halloween costumes will be far from boring this year. Choosing from a few Snapchat filter costumes to head to your ghoultastic party will make you the envy of the scene.
Taking your favorite filter from the screen to real life is easier than you think because it really requires limited time, materials and money. So, if you're worried about spending too much ching-ching-ching, these costumes won't break your bank or your spirits.
Love the deer crown filter? Great. You can make it happen in real life for under $20. Flower crown filter queen? Yep, you can get that too for a decent amount. Whatever filter you fancy the most can become you in real life if you've got a creative mind and little bit of cash.
