Make sure that whatever you get suits her personality. If for example, she's a very artsy colorful kind of person who enjoys a flamboyant types of fashion sense then I would recommend going for one of their more colorful eyeshadow box gift sets or go for a completely different brand, like the BH cosmetics/coastal scents 88/120 palettes as opposed to the NAKED palette.

Alternatively, you could make up a sort of gift basket type box. Put random products inside of your choice. Throw in things like scented candles (shouldn't be too expensive) along with whatever products like maybe some gloss/eyeshadow/a palette of some type with mixed shadows + lips + blush?/ then add some confetti and chocolate to fill the box. Usually the presentation makes it quite memorable.

Hope that helps! =)

Hey Rie, I know that you have already made up your mind, but I just wanted to include my opinion! :) lmbo. I bought the naked palette a week ago and returned it in the next couple days. I don't think that it is worth the price! I ended up getting like 7 products in the place of the one.

I got instead:

NYX has a 10 color eyeshadow palette for like 10.99$ it has almost the same colors as the naked palette, but much cheaper.

Neatrogena foundation

Covergirl loose powder

NYX little skinny marker (which I LOVE)

two NYX lipsticks

a compact mirror for only 2$!

and something else that I can't remember.

But my point is the basket idea is so much better! :) I am glad you have chosen to do that!

You should include some nail polishes! I am in love with Essie's greenish blue colors. Right now I am wearing absolutely shore and I LOVE it!

Have fun picking everything out! I love shopping for my friends!

xoxo, nykki
