What we’re listening to
"Bury a Friend" — Billie Eilish 🎶
The eerie chorus of this song is just what we need to update our Halloween party playlist. A bit more haunting than “Ghost Busters” and “Monster Mash,” Billie Eilish’s ominous tune is complete with unexpected background screams that have us imagining we’re walking through a creepy cemetery on Halloween night.
Currently Binging
Stranger Things 📺
A missing boy in a small town, creepy, top-secret government experiments, and a very strange little girl...what more could you ask for to get you in the spooky spirit? This series is the perfect show to cuddle up with a blanket and binge tonight.
What we’re smelling
Pumpkin Spice 👃
Is pumpkin spice still basic? We don’t even care. If you’re not a coffee lover or candle lighter, grab a bottle of the spices (or make your own with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, and ginger) and sprinkle it on your toast, tea, or mix it in whatever you’re baking this week.
Current craving

Latest beauty obsession
Micellar Water 💦
This one needs a blog of its own to go over all the benefits micellar water has for your skin, but for now, we’ll just leave it with...we’re obsessed! Use it with a Kubwipes wipe to take off your makeup, double-cleanse, and keep your skin hydrated. It’s a game-changer for attracting makeup, dirt, and oil to its micelles without drying out your skin in the process. Do you use micellar water in your routine?

Trick to try
🧛♀️Spooky Makeup Removal 👻
If you’re planning to do a full face of costume makeup this Halloween, complete with realistic bloody gashes and ghoulish skeleton teeth, then be sure to let KubWipes 100% Cotton Wipes help you remove it all at the end of the night. Grab a wipe and wet it with your favorite micellar water and gently remove makeup in circular motions. The large, textured wipe helps remove every last bit of makeup from all the nooks and crannies of your face, while the silky, soft cotton protects your skin’s natural barrier. Remember, you can rinse out your wipe with water and reuse it so you’re not wasting a million tiny cotton pads! Follow up with your regular facial cleanse and wake up to sparkly clean skin and no nasty post-Halloween breakouts.
