14 Things To Buy For The Girl That Is Obsessed With Hair And Makeup

In This Article:

Finding a gift for beauty lovers can seem overwhelming or difficult with so many options out there, but with this handy guide, you'll be able to find something for every MUA on your list with ease. Who knows, you might even find something for yourself too along the way. I know all of these items are on my list this year. I would honestly spend all of my money on makeup if I could, so when someone buys it for me, it's that much better already. Pick one of these items on their own, or mix and match for the ultimate beauty themed gift.

1. Face Masks

This is the best mask EVER!

Face masks are the perfect gift for beauty lovers. You can spend as much or as little as you want on them, and you can customize what you buy to the skincare needs of the person. I love the TonyMoly ones, especially the pearl one above.

2. A Nice Eyeshadow Palette

The Norvina palette is life.

Eyeshadow palettes are also an easy gift for the makeup lover in your life. They tend to be on the pricey side though, so if you're on a budget this may not be the way to go. My go-to palette right now it the Norvina palette for sure.

3. New Brushes

This is again the kind of thing you can spend as much or as little on as you want. Target will have cute brush sets that will totally do the trick, but so will the $200+ set from Kylie Jenner. Even Amazon has some best selling brush sets that are super highly rated.

4. Anything From Lush

Lush has amazing products and any of them make a great gift. A lot of what they sell are things I wouldn't normally splurge on for myself, but when I do its totally amazing. The Rose Jam shower gel is my all time favorite and now you can get it year round!

5. Nail Polish

Everyone likes getting new nail polish. if you're not sure what to color get them a set like this, totally works, they're bound to like at least one.

6. Perfume

I love to smell good.

Picking a perfume for someone else can be difficult, but with this set they can pick it for themselves. This Sephora kit is really unique in that, after using all the samples, they can cake the certificate into the store and get a full-size bottle of their favorite scent.

7. Sephora or Ulta Kits

Sephora and Ulta both sell amazing makeup kits. Sephora's will usually include products across brands, whereas Ulta's are more brand centered. I think they are a great deal and a cute gift, especially this highlighting kit shown above.

8. Hair Tools

Wavy hair don't care.

Hair tools can be expensive, and I often find that I don't wanna spend money on new tools. However, there is NOTHING like getting a new blowdryer, or straightener, the newer technology seems unreal compared to what you were working with. The NUME Octowand has so many barrels I don't even know what they all do.

9. Makeup Travel Bag

Makeup bags need to be stylish and practical.

I hate packing makeup for vacation, I'm always so paranoid it will break in transit. A bag like this keeps everything secure so you don't have to worry quite as much.

10. Makeup Repair Kit

I need this to revive my Becca highlighter.

As I said above, traveling with makeup can be a stressful experience. If your friend is clumsy, or likes to be prepared just in case, investing in a product like this can save some of their pans lost along the way.

11. Shower Kit

Having nice body wash and lotions are also on the list of items that are awesome to have, but not really worth spending money on. Bath and Body works, Lush and even Amazon all have kits like this.

12. Makeup Storage

For a makeup junkie you can never have enough storage. Something like this lets you keep all of your most used items on hand and keep them relatively organized.

13. Lip Kits

This lip kit lets you use everything together, or each piece separately.

Lip kits are still totally in so something like this can be a super fun gift. Kylie doesn't have the monopoly in this market anymore with brands like Huda Beauty and Colourpop making similar items.

14. Chapstick

Burt's Bees has the best chapstick flavors.

Putting on chapstick before lipstick is almost as important as the actual lipstick application. This kit from Burt's Bees has a variety of flavors and has enough chapsticks for your backpack, purse, makeup kit and wherever else you need one.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
