 5 Interesting Gift Ideas for Beauty Enthusiasts

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.

3. Paula’s Choice Skincare

Paula’s Skincare is the gift we all could use every year. Even if you have no issues with your skin (lucky), This product will rejuvenate and rehydrate you so that you appear bright and fresh every day.

No one is perfect, but this product will get you closer to that goal with each use. Paula’s Skincare offers 20% off sitewide + free shipping Monday, November 21st- 28th. You get a surprise gift with your purchase by going through my unique link here.

4. Pure Cosmetics by The Lano Company

A cosmetic brush set is something that I have never considered as a gift, but I would certainly appreciate it if I received it. The Luxe Bronze 12-piece Professional Brush Set is a godsend.

Admittedly, I always forget to replace my brushes when it is time, and I’m sure I’m not alone. If I’m replacing them, I might as well go with something that will last quite a while!

5. Kylie Cosmetics – Matte lipstick mini kit, Kylie Jenner

The Matte Lipstick mini kit is a super cute gift for the makeup fanatic in your life. This is perfect because if you get them makeup, you don’t have to worry about what shade of lipstick you want. This gives them plenty of options!

They can try out all the different shades. Trust me, being given options is perfect for those who love makeup. They can choose which is their favorite and stock up! Check out the gift here.
