Instead of an overly sparkly tint, the new glosses allow consumers to achieve a more muted unicorn-inspired look. NYX's Unicorn Blood Lip Glosses are five [limited-edition products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/annabelle-cosmetics) designed to add a touch of enchantment to one's beauty routine. Each of the new glosses comes in a dark chrome shade that ranges from the frosted brown 'Cosmic Glaze,' to the grey-tinged '[Eclipse](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rem-beauty-2).' Customers can also change the impact of the glosses by wearing them alone for a high-impact sparkle, or layering them with a matte lipstick to change up the color. Priced at just $8 a pop, the cosmic glosses give consumers a fun new way to test drive the unicorn beauty craze.
