We all have that friend whose makeup and hair are so on point when you go out, you think she should probably be on her way to an awards show. If that’s your friend, check out these gifts below.
1. Urban Decay “Naked” Palette
The Naked Palette is a great gift for anyone who is into makeup. It is also a great advantage if you know someone just starting to be interested in makeup. This eye shadow kit gives you a wide range of neutral colors perfect for everyday makeup.
Not only is it a great variety, but the color lasts all day, so minimal touch-ups are needed. There are plenty of options that you can choose from, and it’s hard to go wrong with any! Just dig in and enjoy yourself.
2. Kick-Ass Flat Iron
The Diamond Hair Styler is a great gift option this year. This flat iron clarifies that not all flat irons are created equal. There are plenty of reasons why this product is superior, including the fact that the plates are hot within 15 seconds, up to 450F!
On top of that, the cord swivels 360 degrees for ease of use, and it is super light. There is an intelligent display so that you can see the temperature at all times.
Lastly, all the buttons are located inside the plates so that you do not change the settings accidentally. I reviewed this flat iron here. Want to get one? Check it out here.
