-Too Faced La Crème Lipstick in Unicorn Tears
Did I just die and go to unicorn heaven or did Too Faced really just release a lip product that lets me flaunt my My Little Pony goddess to absolute perfection? Yas girls they did and she is called Unicorn tears, although the only tears that this little unicorn is crying are tears of delight.

-Jeffree Star’s Liquid Lipstick Collection
Leave it to a MySpace icon to create a liquid lipstick line so to die for that it makes Crayola want to shit it’s pants and quit the game. This gender bending, makeup chameleon proves that he can be ahead of the curve in more ways than one with a lipstick collection that is out of stock more than it’s in stock. Star offers lip colors for every kind of unicorn imaginable, whether you’re a sassy Malibu Barbie unicorn with his shade, Prom Queen, a brooding, I watch horror movies while flicking my lady bean unicorn, with Bruised, or if you’re more of a Lisa Frank, I eat, shit, and exude my essence in Brooklyn kind of unicorn, with his shade Breakfast at Tiffanies, there is a lippy for every unicorn hunty.
Velour Liquid Lipsticks $18 each
-Benefit “Watt’s Up” Highlighter
Ever worried that your inner stardust won’t shine bright enough among the identity apocalypse that is the trend, bitches that contour to the death but throw highlighting out the window? Well you should never let these trends dull your rainbow horn because there is nothing wrong with adding to your already opalescent unicorn essence with a touch of highlight. And who better to take from than the Watt’s Up highlight Kweens themselves, unicorn-approved cosmetic company, Benefit. Benefit’s highlighter has never been much of a secret, among either unicorns or bae-sikx alike, but just because everyone has jumped on the bandwagon doesn’t mean that their illuminator has lost any of it’s sparkle magic.
