We all have that one friend that loves watching hair and makeup tutorials on YouTube. She might follow the methods of Michelle Phan, or she might be the one making the videos with her own blog. With so many videos to make, or watching videos and practicing, a girl can run out of makeup and hair supplies fast! In honor of the Beauty Blogging girl, we’ve put together a gift guide made especially for her to help find the perfect gift for this friend.
For Under $50:

I’ve been a fan of Bottega Veneta for some time now. Their gorgeously crafted handbags that ooze chic without screaming “It bag” is a given, but they’ve really upped their game with their increasingly covetable ready-to-wear line. Now adding to that über-cool cache is the line’s first women’s fragrance, launched at a cocktail party in Tokyo July 19. Creative Director Tomas Maier was on hand, as well as plenty of Asian celebs and Japanese and Korean media.

TGIF ladies!
Last year, the daughters of Benefit Cosmetics’ founders announced that they were joining their mothers’ company with the debut of a new line of cool and cute perfumes, inspired by London’s Crescent Row. Their latest second iteration is just as cute as the first. Dubbed the Second Story, these three eau de toilettes feature the same whimsical package-inspired storytelling as the first set in three new scents.
