Trick or (Beauty) Treat: Halloween Gifts Based on Zodiac Sign

Halloween (like pretty much everything in 2020) is going to be much different this year. While you might not be able to gather in person with your crew to ring in the spooky season, you can still celebrate with your favorite people…just a little farther apart than usual.

This year, send your friends a sweet gift to boost morale—call it trick or (beauty) treat. Here are my product picks based on zodiac signs, featuring new product drops from Danessa Myricks, Natasha Denona, Givenchy, and more.
