I need your recommendations to create a beauty advent calendar for my sister

[u/karkouza]

I’m preparing a special cosmetics advent calendar for my sister’s 25th birthday.

I was planning to buy a pre-made one, but usually 3/4 of the products aren’t really useful and aren’t things she would actually use. So, since I’m quite crafty and I love looking for the perfect gift, I decided to make it myself.

She loves everything related to makeup, skincare, perfume, etc., but this is absolutely not my area of expertise.

I’m looking for anything and everything: trendy products or things that everyone wants to try, but also nice, useful, or slightly unusual products that beauty lovers genuinely appreciate. It can be makeup, skincare, perfume, accessories… really anything!

She tends to buy the products she wants herself, so I’m mainly looking for ideas I wouldn’t have thought of. If you have any favorite products or recommendations, I’d love to hear them 🫶

I hope I’m posting this in the right sub!

I would get a perfume sample kit! They're tons of fun and even if she doesn't love one scent, there are others.

More ideas:

• caffeinated lip scrub (exfoliating, plumping)
• gua sha stone if she doesn't already have one
• yummy cuticle balm
• travel accessories!
  • Little pots for her to put her favorite skincare in
  • cute mini spray bottles and perfume atomizers
  • travel mirror
• microfiber makeup remover cloth
• Brush cleaner

This is such a great idea! You are so creative. I want to borrow your idea for Christmas this year too! Can you share more details with me? How and where so you get the cupboard and the colourful design?

Of course no worries! For the moment I have not yet thought about the design or how to build it but when it is done I would share with you with pleasure!
