If the products in your vanity aren't sourced directly from the Upside Down, have you even been to Hawkins, IN? In honour of Stranger Things [1] Day on Nov. 6 — aka the day Will Byers disappeared in 1983 and the day Eleven opened the gateway to the Upside Down, unleashing the Demogorgons — cosmetics brand Merci Handy has released a skin-care kit that's vegan, monster-free, made with natural ingredients, and comes in a clear fanny pack (because of course, it does).
In the same way Steve Harrington still manages to rock flawless hair as he wards off supernatural creatures with a nail-studded baseball bat, the limited-edition collection includes everything a teenager fighting off paranormal aliens might need on a regular weekday. See: the VCR-themed Upside Down Tape Vol. 1 for hand sanitizer gel in Starcourt Mall-inspired packageing, moisturising hand cream that "unveils spicy and woody notes in an oriental vanilla trail," and a walkie-talkie love holder. Flip over to Upside Down Tape Vol. 2 for a supernatural bath bomb, hand sanitizer gel, and moisturising exfoliating soap (for skin softer than a baby unicorn).
If you're in a real pinch and need to run out to help Mike and the gang ASAP, the fanny pack includes everything from both tapes. Plus, there's room leftover if you want to squeeze in some chapstick or a few Eggo waffles as a snack — but we recommend keeping them in the freezer. Shop the full Stranger Things x Merci Handy collection ahead and watch the teaser trailer for season four here [2].
