We're going to try our very hardest not to make an "Age of Aquarius" joke right here and now, but… it is technically Aquarius month now. As such, we've put together a little beauty gift guide with the help of New Orleans psychic Cari Roy. Now, according to Roy, Aquarians have a flair for futuristic drama: "They love things like purple lipstick and glitter eyeshadow — think David Bowie," she explained. "They're all about breaking tradition and space-age stuff."
So, whether you're an Aquarius, know an Aquarius or simply have a soft spot for high-tech beauty products and Bowie-esque drama, read on to find a few beauty buys that might just have you contemplating life on Mars.

Roy prescribed purple lipsticks for your friendly neighborhood Aquarius and it doesn't get much more deliciously in-your-face than the new Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Mattemoiselle Lipstick in One of the Boyz. Appropriately, your lips will pretty much be visible from outer space.
Foreo UFO, $279
As far as skin care gadgets go, the exciting Foreo UFO (cheekily short for "Ur Future Obsession") is about as cutting edge as they come. It's designed to speed up your sheet masking process, shrinking the time from 20 minutes to a succinct 90 seconds. It does this by combining cryotherapy, thermotherapy, LED light therapy and sonic vibrations (the last of which you're probably familiar with if you've ever tried the Foreo Luna). Together, it should also increase the efficacy of your mask, as well increasing its convenience. Right now, it's only available for pre-order on Kickstarter, but it's set to launch online and in stores in April.
Like the aforementioned Foreo UFO, the Skin Inc Light Device also uses LED light therapy to take your skin care routine to futuristic new heights. It has three settings: red light, which helps repair damaged skin and increases collagen production; yellow light, which helps revive dull skin; and blue light, which helps with acne. It also helps boost the efficacy of your skin care products and, come on, it's just plain cool.
This glitter eyeliner is quite nifty: You can actually peel it off, which is great because as we beauty enthusiasts know, removing glitter products can often be something of a bummer. It comes in a whole rainbow of eye-catching colors, but the shade Glitter Ghost is an especially fun pick for the Aquarius in your life.
