Have you seen the new "Game of Thrones" x Urban Decay collab? It's quite dreamy and includes everything from a Daenerys-inspired lip/cheek stain to a Lannister gold eyeliner.
For me, though, the clear stars of the collection are the brushes: There's Jon Snow's Longclaw, $28, a fluffy eyeshadow brush and Arya Stark's Needle, $28, a flat eyeshadow brush (appropriately) designed for precision work.
Each brush has a satisfying heft to it and the attention to detail is glorious: Longclaw features a white direwolf on the pommel, complete with ruby red eyes, while Needle has a delicate gold handguard. In other words, they look like you grabbed them straight out of your TV screen.
The quality of the brushes themselves is very good as well (personally I tend to be a fan of Urban Decay's brush offerings), but the real draw of these is the novelty. I don't know that I've ever felt cooler than when I used Longclaw to brush on a dusting of the burnished bronze "Casterly Rock," following it up with a hint of "Winter Is Here" at the lashline using Needle. Honestly, the joy of using tiny replica swords to apply eyeshadow is an experience that we all deserve. — Rosie Narasaki
