The Ultimate Teen Queen Makeup Holiday Gift Guide (& Giveaway)

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas: window displays are beautifully lit, and stores are decorated with tinsel and snowflakes, and the weather is starting to feel a little chilly. It’s time to grab a hot chocolate, and come dream with us.

We’ve searched high and low and consulted Santa’s little helpers to help you find the perfect gifts for the teens on your list. These ideas are perfect for those who are looking for the pop princess must haves. We’ve included everything from stocking stuffers, to those droolworthy slip under the tree surprises.

Limited Edition Just Nails – 4 new trend setting shades and a matte top coats that will transform any color from shiny and glossy to a matte finish in seconds.
