You just got a last minute invite to a Halloween party and you’re without a costume. What do you do? You might take it as a sign that you should just stay home and watch Hocus Pocus—but try to resist that temptation. Instead, pop by the drugstore to pick up some last minute beauty products. They’ll make up for the fact that you refuse to wear a costume to the costume party.
