Teen/tween girl popular brands/products

Hi all. Just wondered if anyone knows what brands/products are currently in fashion for tw/eens? As an example, last year beauty-wise I know Revolution/Morphe palettes were popular.

Dd has asked for some crystals, converse high tops and some makeup in general. With regards to the makeup I was looking at those glossier lip things and some beauty products by Millie Bobbie Brown (stranger things-she likes stranger things) but have no idea what's 'in' at the moment in terms of beauty items.Saw a friend's dd had a 'glossy box' in her rook but have looked and not sure if they'd be any good for dd.

Just wondering what items (in general, not just beauty) are popular with tw/eens at the moment?

Crystals are big here for my 12yr old and her friends. She has lots with little information cards, incense sticks and has also just bought a wax melt burner.

Revolution is still a hit for makeup. Waterpr mascara and clear plumping lip gloss get the most use. She's also asked for Millie Bobby Brown products, they are expensive though and I'm hoping will go on offer before Christmas.

Last year my sister put together a tween skin care hamper which was a big hit.

My teen uses Morphe, benefit, smash box, glam glow, Fenty and Kiko make up.

Other brands that she likes are Victoria’s Secret Pink, Pink Soda from JD sports, river island, pull and bear, Zara, Michael Kors, DKNY (if you have a Costco card they have a lot of DKNY stuff really cheap quite often).

She also likes the Kate Hayes make up stuff from home bargains (she is an Instagram make up artist apparently).

Vans are the must have here at the moment, together with Dr Martens.

Make up they are happy to give anything a go.

More than anything they just love to actually shop so vouchers / cash seem to be the way forward at the moment.

DKNY (if you have a Costco card they have a lot of DKNY stuff really cheap quite often

I bought a couple of the DKNY bralets for my DD , washed them before use (in a laundry bag) they came out really pilled . This was before she'd even worn them.
The returns policy for Costco is good but I had to return to the shop . And I wasn't going back for 2 months or so.
Chalked that up to experience .

Calvin Klein at Costco is good .

Vans are a wider fit than Converse .
I bought some Converse Hi Tops for DD last week , she gets a UniDays discount (10% ) so £51.

Urban Outfitters is one of my DDs favourite shops .
Jeans , jackets some underwear
Bags

I used to buy her a couple of gift vouchers to spend after Christmas ( either TopShop or UO ) then she could choose rather han me having to guess . Especially if they go shopping with friends and want to buy something

Thanks all for your suggestions. Converse high tops and DM boots are also on her list! Will go check out the makeup suggestions. Thanks.

Really, that’s strange, we’ve got those bralets and they’ve been fine in the wash.

My dd likes benefit & morphe make up.
Nomination & Joma bracelets.
She has requested a Ralph Lauren polo top.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 10/09/2021 22:32

I was surprised too Mrs - DKNY are a well respected brand .

I always wash bras in a padded lingerie bag and small underwear like DDs (my M&S Big Knickers survive running wild in the drum Grin ) in lingerie bags to stop tangling .

They were both pilled all over like I'd gone over them with sandpaper

Rogue batch ?

Bit random but along the lines of crystals - boots is doing one of those himalayan salt lamps in their xmas stuff, might be easier to buy on amazon though.

Gemporia is a genuine gemstones and crystals jeweller but they also do things like homeware, makeup, perfume etc. I've bought candles and perfume that contain gemstones in them, they usually do nice Xmas gifts too.

Makeup - benefit, revolution and Barry m tends to be popular. If she's into a more alternative sort of look kat von d makeup is popular and its vegan too, used to be sold at debenhams but it's sold through boots now.

@Bellyfat Millie Bobbie Brown stuff currently reduced on ASOS. Just managed to get a 6 piece set of makeup/skincare which was £28 rather than £36 in sale from ASOS. Used the app and code ASOSCREW to get a further 20% off bringing it down to £22.40. Added in some reusable makeup remover cloths and a Flat Lay Co makeup bag that were both in sale plus with discount code too.

Have also managed to get some vegan DM's from surfdome in sale and with a further 10% discount code for £81.85.

Just the crystals and high tops to get (although converse will be for birthday) and considering an Oodie and some new earphones as hers are broken then other than a couple of stocking fillers I think I'll be done.

Thanks all

Thanks!!
I've ordered her a selection of face wash and creams and saved £20 Smile

DD 11 likes the tweeny perfume sets. She got Ariana Grande taster set for her birthday and has been wafting about like a jasminy vanillaish zephyr ever since😊

RumblyMumbly · 13/09/2021 11:21

@Bluezoo that was a good buy, just checked on ASOS and its sold out now
