1. Too Faced La Creme Color Drenched Lipstick in Unicorn Tears
A brand beloved by everyone from influencers and celebs to middle schoolers and their babysitters, Too Faced is known for their playful concoctions of non-toxic, sweets-inspired cosmetics that smell, and sometimes look, like actual treats (see their limited edition Peanut Butter and Honey Eyeshadow Palette, made with actual cocoa powder and peanut butter and honey extracts, or their super popular Sweet Peach collection). One of their consistent sell-outs is the La Creme Color Drenched Lipstick in Unicorn Tears, which, unlike its other La Creme counterparts, imparts a slightly shimmery, purple-ish glow onto lips that proves unicorns only cry tears of happiness ($65, amazon.com).
2. Anastasia Aurora Holographic Glow Kit
While Anastasia Beverly Hills may have started off with mastering the art of eyebrows, their increase in popularity is due to the ever-growing collection of cult-favorite "glow kits". This iteration, launched just in time for Coachella, is the ultimate in holographic highlighting goals, including colors like "Helia", a yellow gold pearl with a turquoise reflect, and "Orion", a blue pearl with a purple amethyst reflect. Mix the two on your cheekbones, browbones, collarbone and your cupids bow for a true unicorn glow ($68, amazon.com).

3. Acqua Di Parma Blu Mediterraneo Arancia Di Capri
Formulated in the small town of Parma, Italy in 1916, Acqua di Parma became an instant Italian classic still reaping the benefits of its prestige today. The cologne house's newest fragrance, Mediterraneo Arancia di Capri, includes scents like Italian citrus, cardamom and caramel to help induce a state of sunny happiness only known to mystical creatures like mermaids and unicorns. ($160; Sephora.com).
4. Anastasia Moon Child Glow Kit
A bit icier than its holographic counterpart, this glow kit is for the unicorn wannabee who'd rather pack a palette of purple tones, with colors like "Purple Horseshoe", than a more colorful mix. Both are equally great, so don't get your tail in a bunch over it ($65, amazon.com).
5. Urban Decay Moondust Eyeshadow in Extragalactic
Okay, so maybe the name reads a bit more "glamorous alien" than "unicorn", but after smudging this paraben and sulfate-free shadow onto our upper lids and under the lower lash line, we're convinced this rosy, shimmery hue is perfect for anyone looking to add a little bit of color to their smokey eye, or a dash of pink to their horn ($21; sephora.com).
6. Westmore Beauty Body Coverage
Whether you're a beach-bum mermaid, a princess-unicorn or just festival-obsessed, everyone wants a flawless finish. Enter Westmore Beauty Body Coverage. This product is genuinely unlike anything we've ever used before, and we're already hiding it deep in our tents in between sets. Formulated by the family of scientists who developed rouge for the Hollywood film industry of the 1930s, this lotion goes on like a lightweight body moisturizer, but immediately masks flaws and imperfections and imparts a subtle, golden glow that's basically the baby leopard Snapchat filter in a bottle ($36, qvc.com)
7. Laura Geller Diamond Dust Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator
Laura Geller is well-known for her "baked" collection of products, a formulation that starts as a powder but feels like a cream when applied. Her Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminators are one of QVC's most customer-rated products, so it's no wonder the cosmetic queen is launching this light-reflecting, holographic version just in time for the unicorn trend ($24, amazon.com)
8. Urban Decay Vice Special Effects Lip Topcoat in Ritual
Every unicorn has a dark side, and this brand new, deep-teal, metallic-and-gold-infused lip topcoat is perfect for bringing out your inner-Ursula ($18, sephora.com).
9. Butter LONDON Glazen Eye Gloss in Mermaid
Granted this product and the one following are more mermaid-related, but ask any unicorn beauty expert and they'll tell you the trends derived from the two mythical creatures are deeply intertwined. A little bit metallic, a little bit mermaid tail scale-ish, this brand new icy greyish-blueish-greenish eyegloss from butter London, a brand usually known for their addictive nail polish, is the perfect example. While the formulation might look heavy and sticky, it's actually a whipped texture, starting off with a lightweight gel feel and drying on the lids almost immediately. We're calling this now: you'll see the contents of this tiny jar all over the spring red carpet events in the coming months ($24, ulta.com).
10. ARROJO’s American Wave Glint Texture & Shine Spray
Remember Nick Arrojo, the sweet yet persistent hairdresser on TLC's What Not To Wear?
Well after seasons of telling people what not to use, (really, who needs to still buy hardening gel unless you're starring in a period piece?) he's finally giving the people his own products. While the brand has been around for a while now, ARROJO’s American Wave Glint Texture & Shine Spray is brand new and like if your favorite salt spray and dry shampoo had a baby. Spritz all over for glistening wave and body enviable by all in the kingdom ($28, arrojonyc.com).
