Tell me what your 14 yo DD is desperate for

DS’s big sister (I brought her up for 7 years) is turning 14. She’s very into make up, I’ve got her a 1-1 make up lesson, she’s desperate for the James Charles palette but it’s sold out!
I don’t want to drip feed but not sure what’s relevant - she has a miserable life with my abusive ex and he doesn’t like me seeing her so I only see her when MIL brings her - so this is the only way left I get to spoil her, and means that ‘experience’ type gifts are tricky. she isn’t likely to get many other gifts.
Make up session was £45 so roughly another 50 left but would stretch if needed.
I was also looking at the pandora rings.
Thanks for all ideas!

I’d get her an urban decay naked palette instead, much more wearable and my eldest daughter bought the cherry one just after Christmas.

Some of the other morphe palettes are great - I have one and use it pretty much daily. If you happen to live in London or Birmingham you could maybe make a day of going to one of the Morphe stores and getting her a different palette and some brushes? They may even have the JC palette in stock in store.

try

@CircleofWillis
I literally just nearly ordered but thought I’d better google first and I think they’re fake 😭

Oh I'm so sorry Mooey! I'm glad you checked. I should have read the reviews before I posted.

Mooey89 · 10/02/2019 20:12

No no don’t be sorry! Thanks so much for checking!

I second Urban Decay palettes. Their quality is phenomenal. If she is into bright colours this one is lovely

The Morphe shop in Birmingham has the James Charles palette in stock.
Have you tried the cult beauty website too?
My daughter really loves all the morphe stuff

Sorry just realised that wasn't the right one, was the first thing that came up on Google Shopping Confused it's quite similar though?

PLT have got the James Charles palette. Hurry though there’s only three left 😬 www.prettylittlething.com/the-james-charles-artistry-palette.html
