Society6 Sol Abstract Geometric Print in Multi Yoga Mat ($39)

If your friend’s favorite Spice happens to be Sporty, she’s sure to love this cute, geometric yoga mat from Society6. It’s lightweight, durable and (in our humble opinion) beautiful. Or take one one home for yourself for some amped up OHMs.

J. O. I. Spotlite HD Ultra-Bright True Daylight Makeup Mirror ($130)

Light up your bestie’s day with this do-it-all, bright-light mirror that transforms from a handheld to a desktop or wall mount and features extensions for a cellphone holder, magnification mirror and hidden storage for makeup, keys and probably more makeup. Oh hi, seamless selfies.

Charlotte Tilbury Charlotte’s Magic Cream ($64 for 30ml)

Did you know that the fountain of youth (and flawless makeup application) only costs $64? We can’t think of a better word to describe this nourishing cream with hyaluronic acid, vitamins and peptides other than magic. It makes the perfect primer for makeup too.

NARS Lipstick in Chelsea Girls ($26)

Pop quiz: what do moringa oil, passon fruit seed oil and killer color have in common? They’re all main ingredients in the hydrating recipe for NARS lipstick. And go with us for a second: pinky beige Chelsea Girls looks good on every skin tone, so it’s a no-brainer for any/all of your buddies.

Marc Jacobs Beauty Enamoured Hi-Shine Nail Lacquer Set in Runway Collection ($28)

For the fashion-obsessed, we’d like to present you with Marc Jacobs Beauty’s limited edition polish set fresh off the runway. Both neutral shades—a “pearly peach and warm pewter”—are the exact same shades that we envied on the models walking the MJ show last year, now just on our fingertips.

It Cosmetic Lash Blowout Volumizing Mascara ($25)

We’re calling it: this genius IT Cosmetics volumizer is the Dry Bar of mascara. But no, really, the formulation and innovative wand shape were legitimately created in partnership with the blowout brand and are inspired by the brush movements that give hair that coveted curly bounce.

Amika Laser Polish IRED Polished Perfection Straightening Brush Set ($120)

A brush that detangles while it straightens? A NewBeauty Award-winning dry shampoo? A deep conditioner with jojoba seed oil that keeps strands sleek, smooth and strong? This limited edition gift set should be renamed the Hair Heroes Package.

Huda Beauty Kayali Miniature Set ($95)

Not sure what signature scent your bff loves? Gift her four mix-and-match fragrances so that she can concoct her own. Each aroma has its own profile and is musk-, vanilla-, spice- or citrus-based. Fun fact: Kayali comes from the Arabic word for “my imagination,” so this kit was literally made for those interested in creating divine DIY magic.
