Teenage girls are impossible – IMPOSSIBLE – to shop for. Trends and tastes change so quickly that what you might be buying for them is almost certainly passe by the time that they receive it, and there’s little you can do about it.

One solid exception to that rule seems to be Lancome Juicy Tubes. They were popular when I was in high school, they’re popular now, and they seem like they’re going to remain that way for the foreseeable future. They aren’t too highly pigmented so they seem fairly safe for girls just old enough to be exploring makeup, and they always made me feel a bit cool when I was 14 because I they were from a brand that was fancier than most of my Wet-N-Wild drugstore makeup.

So if you’ve got a teenage girl on your shopping list – perhaps a niece or neighbor whose more specific tastes are a mystery – maybe this relatively inexpensive gift set would be right up their alley.

Sephora, $39.50.
