What do you get for a beauty guru?
Buying a gift for a beauty guru is a lot simpler than you think. While she may have her pulse on the latest trends from her brows to her toes, she still will appreciate a thoughtful gift. If a gift card doesn’t do the trick, consider a day at the spa or, better yet, taking a trip to the nail salon or makeup counter together. You could even have her over for a day of at-home beauty treatments. She will enjoy spending time together but also getting the chance to share an activity with you that she loves. Maybe the best beauty gifts for the beauty guru in your life are really just time. What’s more beautiful than friendship?
