10 Gifts To Buy For The Beauty Junkie In Your Life
You’d think that buying a gift for the makeup lover in your life would be easy, but it isn’t.
I mean, they already have so many products, and they may stick their nose up at certain brands that don’t measure up to their standards.
This is especially difficult if you know nothing about makeup yourself, or if you’re working on a tight budget. Never fear, we’ve rounded up some affordable beauty gifts that don’t look like shit, plus one or two fantasy beauty gifts in case you want to ball out on the person you’re buying for.
1. One of These Dope Metallic Eyeliners
While you’d think that cool and crazy metallic beauty products would break your gifting budget, this line of liquid eyeliners by Jane Cosmetics begs to differ. The liners, which come in 14K Gold, Metallic Nude, and Metallic Pink, are only $11 each and the quality is lit.
2. These Eyeshadows Every Girl Needs More of
