Resisting the urge to put up the tree until after Thanksgiving? Hard. Getting all three of your besties exactly what they’ve been asking for? Nearly impossible – until now. Our latest Allure x Rue La La Beauty Box is making it seriously stress-free to nail gifts for your gal pals. Grab one, and pull out some key goodies for each BFF. Or, stock up on boxes for the whole crew. (Just don’t forget one for yourself, too.)
If She Loves a Good Night Out…
Fill up her go-to clutch with these beauty musts for a look that lasts all night long (and even until morning). Start with the game-changing Purlisse Blue Lotus Balancing Moisturizer – with this as a base layer, there’s no chance of her makeup ever falling off. Next, add in Doucce’s Freematic Eye Shadow Quad and the Sigma Blending Brush. Together, these two create the ever-so-coveted smoky eye. Dancing till the break of dawn has nothing on this friend’s makeup game.
If She Loves a Good Slumber Party…
It’s Friday night, which means she’s bound to show up on your doorstep with a pint of Chunky Monkey and a rom com. Pamper her with the Sulwhasoo Snowise Brightening Mask, because what’s a girls’ night in without a little facial? And, of course, indulge in amika’s Nourishing Mask, the secret to glossy, frizz-free locks. Add in Deco Miami’s Nail Lacquer and the Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat, and this is bound to be one at-home spa night done right.
If She Has a First Date on the Horizon…
Help your bestie get date number two with these crowd favorites. A glowy complexion is never a bad idea for that oh-so-important first impression. St. Tropez’s Self Tan Express Bronzing Face Sheet Mask will get her the radiant skin she craves in five minutes flat, sans streaks. Then, help her leave an oh-so-fresh trail of Versace’s Eros Pour Femme fragrance (its delicate scent is too good). Finally, SKIN&CO’s Citrus Amaro Hand Cream will soften her ready-to-hold hands for the next meet-cute.
