12 Things To Surprise Your Beauty Junkie BFF With This Christmas

For your sister from another mother

December 21, 2018

She has seen you at your best and worst, and knows your deepest, darkest secrets, your dreams and fears, the lies you told your parents to get out of trouble — well, she might even have participated in a few — and she’s even vetted every single boyfriend you’ve dated. So what do you get your best friend? From the creamiest lipsticks to the most decadent perfumes, here are the most coveted Christmas launches to pamper her.

12 Things To Surprise Your Beauty Junkie BFF With This Christmas
Shu Uemura x La Maison du Chocolat Rouge Unlimited Supreme Matte in Ripe Cherry, Salty Caramel, Deep Cranberry, Black Cherry, $38 each
image

Working with the renowned chocolatier, Shu Uemura introduces these new dessert-inspired shades that are also equally delectably named. With the same buttery soft texture that glides onto lips to cocoon them with colour and moisture, these beautiful lipsticks are perfect for dressing the lips this festive season. After all, who’s to say you can’t “borrow” it from her at some point?

Eve Lom Rescue Ritual Gift Set, $190
image

Pamper your BFF’s skin with this cleanser + mask duo. Comprising a 100ml Cleanser and 100ml Rescue Mask (usual retail price of $270), these are the absolute must-haves for a clarified and radiant complexion. An Eve Lom icon, the Cleanser packs essential oils and botanical extracts to dissolve makeup, keep blemishes at bay, and replenish it with moisture and nutrients in one gentle step. And if she’s a frequent flyer, she’ll love the Rescue Mask, which lifts dead skin cells and decongests pores while alleviating puffiness and redness.

Dr Jart+ Cicapair X-mas Jungle Spell Book, $77
image

Perfect for irritation-prone skin, this limited edition gift set is perfect for neutralising redness and replenishing skin with moisture to protect it against external aggressors. With a full-sized colour-correcting day cream from the Cicapair line, this green-to-beige formula auto-adapts to your skin tone for a unified complexion. It also contains Centella Asiatica extract to speed up cellular repair. This set is also great for travel or for the gym as it comes with deluxe-sized samples of the same day cream and serum.

Fenty Beauty Mattemoiselle 10/10 Plush Matte Lipstick 10-Pc Collection, $219
image

With 10 ultra-pigmented and extra-bold shades, even the most jaded of lipstick lovers will squeal with excitement at the sight of this collection. Perfect for wearing on their own or layering to create customised looks, each lipstick feels lightweight and comfortable on the lips while lasting throughout the day.

What could be cuter than getting your bestie a Skintreats Besties set? Bad puns aside, this skincare duo means business when it comes to maintaining glowing skin.

image

Give your BFF the gift of perfect hair days with this 3-in-1 hair kit. Consisting of IGK’s best-selling products, it is every woman’s must-have to keep hair manageable. Beach Club is a salt-free spray that uses hydrolyzed wheat protein to inject volume and texture to limp locks; Smoke & Mirrors infuses hair with sweet almond oil extract so dull and damaged hair becomes shinier and stronger, while Mistress contains coconut oil to hydrate tresses and keep humidity out without weighing down even super fine hair.

image

If your bestie is a big fan of mascara, you’ll win her heart with this mascara vault. Packed with five full-sized Better Than Sex Mascara from Too Faced, it lengthens and thickens sparse lashes, transforming them into va va voom eye fringe that stays put all day. Plus, it comes with timely reminders so your bestie knows when to toss out her old mascaras before it turns bad!
