Gift ideas for the beauty addicted friend
From lip masks and lip combos to hair serums
December 13th, 2024
Christmas is just around the corner, and with it comes the excitement of finding the perfect gift for the people we love. If you have a friend who lives and breathes the beauty world – the one who knows everything about the latest must-have lipstick or can explain the difference between a serum and a booster – this is the perfect article for you. We have put together a gift idea list for your gamer friend and for mom, and today we're focusing once again on the friend passionate about skincare, makeup, and haircare. From small must-haves to rejuvenating treats for the body and mind, these suggestions are designed to make your friend feel special without having to go crazy in stores and online carts.
Gift ideas: skincare
The topic of skincare can be quite delicate: if you don't know a person's skin well, it can be difficult to guess the most suitable product. That's why we recommend opting for products suitable for all skin types, avoiding those too specific for treating particular concerns. Let’s start with hydrating, nourishing, and illuminating sheet masks: the Moving Lights - set of 6 face masks is perfect, with 6 masks and 6 different benefits. In winter, with the cold and wind, lips dehydrate quickly, so a plumping lip balm is the ideal gift for your friend, like the Plush Puddin' by Fenty Beauty or the famous Lip Sleeping Mask by Laneige. To stay on the hydration theme, a good body cream paired with a hand cream is always appreciated, like the body cream from Rituals, with Indian rose and Himalayan honey, or the hand cream from L'Occitane, which has gone viral on social media for being rich and super nourishing. For the romantics, there’s nothing better than gifting a bath bomb from Lush, perhaps paired with a good book to relax.
Make-up
Gifting a makeup product is perhaps the safest bet. For a fan of cool and matte tones, the 18CT Matte Essential Palette by Morphe is perfect, also available in warm tones. It’s Christmas, and as we all know, red is the star of the holiday season. So, why not gift her a perfect lip combo to wear at the Christmas dinner? The Confession Lipstick by Hourglass paired with the Slim Lip Espresso pencil by NYX is what we recommend. A makeup look isn’t complete without a good mascara, whether volumizing, lengthening, or curling. Our choice is the Lash Idôle by Lancôme, but if you prefer more eccentric mascaras, Kiko offers the Maxi Mod Colour Mascara, available in four different shades.
Haircare
For many girls, hair is their calling card, and they take care of it with the same attention they give their skin. We all have a friend who changes their hair color every month, so we suggest the Leave-in Molecular Repair Hair Mask by K18, ideal for those with hair damaged by bleaching. For those who love a smooth look like Kim Kardashian, the Dream Coat Spray Prodigioso by Color Wow is the exact product she uses. To wrap it up, we can only recommend a good hydrating serum for the scalp, paired with the Sephora massaging brush.
Whether it’s skincare, makeup, or haircare, every thoughtfully chosen gift will make your friend feel special. With these suggestions, all that’s left is to choose the perfect gift to pamper her in the best way!
