Maybe you're going to Coachella this weekend. Maybe you're not going to Coachella this weekend but wishing you were (that would be me). Either way, these bold, bright, colorful beauty products are the perfect way to channel that music-festival vibe whether you're dancing around in a desert or dancing around in your kitchen and it's just really hot.


Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick in Melted Violet. If a purple Easter egg fell into a can of Day-Glo and then took some LSD, you'd have the color of this totally wild and crazy lipstick shade. I honestly can say I have never seen anything as electric and intense in all my years at Allure. And the best part is the fact the liquid-y, long-wearing formula won't budge--no matter how many sips of beer you take--so you can just swipe it on and forget about it.

Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner. I have been in love with this product for a long time: The pointy tip never gets mushy. The water-resistant formula never runs. The slim handle makes for easy maneuvering around your lash line. I highly recommend picking up their neutral shades for everyday wear, but if you want a color that will get you noticed, let me suggest Canary (a lemon yellow); Turquoise (a pastel green); or Peacock (a vibrant teal).

Eugenia Kim flower-crown headband. You can try wearing real flowers in your hair, but I promise you, by nightfall, you'll have a bouquet of withering blooms in their place. With fake flowers, you won't run the risk of them wilting, and you also won't have to use 3,000 bobby pins to keep them stuck to your head. Eugenia Kim has a few great flower crowns on Net-a-Porter. I especially like the Marique velvet-and-georgette flower-crown headband with its oversize red and white petals. Wear it with your hair down in loose waves or twisted into a low ponytail.

Splat Hair Chalk. Having a few pastel streaks in your hair is cool--until you have to go back to work on Monday. These chalks wash out with shampoo and some vigorous massaging, and you can nab them at any drugstore. Rub them over your ends for a dip-dyed effect, or add multicolored streaks and weave your hair into a fishtail braid.

Sephora Collection Paint Rio In Neon* Nail Set. This set contains four neon nail polishes (pink, green, orange, and yellow) to mix and match for an Instagram-worthy manicure. Wear one color on all ten nails, or wear all the different colors at once. Or let the fall 2014 runways inspire you, and try out a minimal nail-art design with stripes or triangles.
