A: SpaRitual has a large array of nail polish shades. Here are several Valentines Day-worthy options: Impression, a ruby red crème; Primitive, a deep magenta shimmer; Thunder Road, periwinkle shimmer; and Last Call, a candy-apple red crème. Here’s more of SpaRitual’s amazing assortment of colors. |
A: Absolutely! Infused with a variety of natural ingredients, including vitamin C-rich wild rose oil, Korres Wild Rose Regimen Kit provides everything she’ll need to take care of her skin – without breaking your budget. Also, Juice Beauty Organics To Go is a 5-piece organic skincare set with cleansing milk, antioxidant serum, green apple peel, oil-free moisturizer and hydrating mist. If your friend loves doing her nails, SpaRitual is a pretty vegan line of nail polishes. SpaRitual Sugar and Spice Eco-Luxury Duo comes with a base and top coat in one, a burgundy shimmer and lovely snowflake ornament. Another idea is to create a custom gift. Make one of these DIY beauty treatments and put it inside a glass jar, which you can find at home (such as a jar from jelly), at the dollar store or a craft shop. Then just put some ribbon around it and attach the recipe on pretty paper along with instructions on how to use the treatment. And voila! You have a beautiful, homemade gift well under $5 to $10. |
A: Most teenage girls love makeup. Products that include application tips and tricks are great to help her learn the ins and outs of applying makeup. bareMinerals Tutorials Eye Lining Collection comes with simple suggestions for three looks, along with two liner shadows and three interchangeable brush heads. The Stila Smoky Eye Palette – with four stunning shades – literally talks you through each step to create stunning smoky eyes. Teens also love to experiment with different looks. bareMinerals Sweet Obsessions 9pc Eyecolor Collection features nine diverse eye shadows, which she can mix and match as she pleases. Colors include frothy pink, deep violet, emerald espresso, spearmint and mocha. And you can’t go wrong with lip products. Whether she’s been wearing makeup for a long time or she’s a bit too young for full-on beauty products, lip gloss is absolutely age-appropriate. It gives her a sense of freedom and fun without making her look too mature. DuWop Liplingo Pink Palette is a beautiful color set with various pretty shades of pink. Hair products and shower gel sets also make fantastic gifts. |
