Who would have thought a year ago that we’d all be shopping for face masks — that it would be the accessory of the year. Some masks are pretty, some are functional, some are just … there. But if you’ve been looking for a mask to get into the Halloween spirit, or just something that might bring a smile (you won’t be able to see) to someone else’s face — look no further.
