Tarte for True Blood Limited-Edition Palette
The ultimate True Blood fan can snag a limited-edition set inspired by Sookie, Bill, and the whole crew. The show's makeup head weighed in to give the products an authentic feel and with shade names like Glamour Me and "Waitress", it really shows.

MAC Nail Lacquer in Nocturnelle
Give your summery manicure shades a rest, and sniff out something more somber. Midnight hues work surprisingly well on both tan and, ahem, pale skin tones, alike.

Intelligent Nutrients Bug Repellent Perfume Serum & Spray
Keep the real blood-suckers away with this geranium- and rosemary-scented mosquito-fighting duo. If there's one thing all of the Twilight movies taught us, it's that we want to smell good should a vampire like R. Patz come knocking.
