Today's newsletter was written and curated by Popsugar shopping director & social host Sarah Wasilak. WTF Are You Going to Be For Halloween?! At the end of August, I swear I blink once and the temperature drops to 60 degrees, then I blink again and it's Halloween. And here we are, 10 days out from the spooky holiday and invitations to parties are rolling in. Whether you love committing to a costume or dread it like going to the doctor, I think you'll find our roundup of iconic Halloween costumes useful because most of them really only require a single purchase (for the rest of the look, you can rely on what you already have in your closet). And if your chosen character begs for some over-the-top makeup tricks, we've got you there, too: our beauty writer rounded up 10 products you can rely on to achieve the Halloween makeup of your dreams. Below, I've curated some of my favorite fashion and beauty combinations to get the wheels spinning.

They undoubtedly look cool, and, as Adi notes in her review, "The concept is so simple that it's kind of genius — take an item people already wear daily (glasses) and add some of the most advanced AI technology to make the user's life easier. As someone who is always running out the door, I was drawn to the idea that if I left my headphones at home my day wouldn't be ruined." Ultimately, she became a fan in just one week, but if you're still not convinced, click below to read up on the specs, from the battery life to the fun features and capabilities.
