Dramatic Shadows
Urban Decay Game of Thrones Eyeshadow Palette, $65 at Urban Decay
The only thing that comes close to matching the thrilling return of Game of Thrones is Urban Decay's sick makeup collection that celebrates the epic show's final season. This totally extra palette is a must-have. Up top there's a super cool replica of the Iron Throne; down below, there are 20 stunning eyeshadow shades with irresistible names like White Walker, Dothraki and Bend the Knee.

Glow Getter
Jergens Natural Glow Wet Skin Moisturizer + Firming, $8.99 at Target
This gradual tanner goes on right after you shower and could not be easier to use. After you switch off the water, rub it over your still-damp skin, then pat dry. That's it! In about a week, you'll develop a pretty, natural-looking, streak-free glow, minimal effort required.
-
Coolest Cleanser
Drunk Elephant Slaai Makeup-Melting Butter Cleanser, $34 at Sephora
The oil-to-milk formula whisks away even your most stubborn makeup and leaves skin silky. We also love that each jar comes with a bonus: a cute little vial of the brand's bamboo and charcoal exfoliator, which you can add to the formula one to two times per week for an extra-deep clean.
-
Curl Wonder
Oribe Curl Gelée for Shine & Definition, $44 at Oribe
Oribe has long been one of our favorite brands, but we've always been a little bummed that — like many companies — it never really had a dedicated set of products for textured, kinky hair. But that changes this month! Its brand new, four-product line was created specifically for this oft-neglected hair type and we couldn't be happier. Our fave: this jelly-like styler that hydrates, shapes, softens and leaves a gorgeous, glossy finish on coils.
-
Buzzy Mask
Uncle Bud’s Organic Hemp Oil Rose Gold Face Mask, $15.99 at Amazon
Each of these sheet masks comes soaked with a potent blend of organic hemp seed oil (a hydrator loaded with vitamins, antioxidants and fatty acids) and Moroccan rose water that leaves skin moisturized, toned and soothed. Basically, living the high life. (Sorry.)
-
Super Sunscreen
Dermalogica Prisma Protect SPF 30, $65 at Dermalogica
This might be the smartest sunscreen we're ever found. Not only does it protect you from UV rays and free radical damage, it goes a step further and actually takes those UV rays and turns them into a positive. Here’s how: The formula contains "intelligent drone technology," which is activated by light. Once activated, it delivers radiance-boosting ingredients to your skin that make you look luminous while protecting your skin. Genius!
-
Prime Time
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hyaluronic Hydrating Primer, $28 at Ulta Beauty
One of our favorite sensitive-skin brands is out with a new primer that we totally love. Besides keeping makeup in place and adding a little glow, this multitasker is packed with tons of great-for-skin ingredients, like hyaluronic acid to hydrate, colloidal oatmeal to calm and antioxidants (licorice root, feverfew and white tea) to help protect.
-
Springtime Scent
Bath & Body Works Gingham Mini Perfume Spray, $7 at Bath & Body Works
Leave winter behind by shelving your heavy sweaters and switching to a light, springy fragrance. This is the one we're currently swiping on. With freesia, sparkling peach, clementine and soft musk, it's feminine, fruity and, dare we say, bright and sunny.
