Harry Potter Brushes Are a Thing (…That I Want You To Buy Me)

In this garbage fire of a world, we deserve something nice (for the love of all that is good, I beg you). Enter: The Harry Potter makeup brush collection, pioneered by Storybook Cosmetics.

To top off what we are now calling “viral weekend” our brushes were the number one trending topic on Facebook. No pressure guys… no pressure! Video from @popsugar!

The indie brand has created five different brushes (and a velvet storage bag, obviously) that go for $55 for the set (USD), and you can pre-order then on the Storybook site, despite there having been a massive rush already. They’re estimated to ship out on December 10, and the handles are metal (not wood), so should you find yourself in a duel situation, you shouldn’t have to worry about your wand snapping in the heat of the moment.

And now that we’re here — down movie tie-in lane — Storybook has also announced that they’re working on a Mean Girls eye shadow palette, making all of my favourite movie dreams come true. The eight-pan piece would come in packaging that looks like the infamous Burn Book, and shades include the likes of “Army Pants” and “Flip Flops,” “ESPN or Something,” “Mouse . . . Duh,” and “Glen Coco.”

And obviously, considering this hasn’t even started happening yet, it could never come to fruition and the world could continue to be a terrible place. But! If the Harry Potter wands have succeeded at catching so much attention, then arguably Storybook Cosmetics has a higher shot at making its next dream come true. Meaning that the rest of us will benefit as a result, but especially me, who has only wished and hoped and prayed for a Mean Girls makeup tie-in since I was a wee baby seeing it for the first time.

In the meantime, let’s try this: Accio Mean Girls makeup. (Don’t say I didn’t try.)
