Stayed up the entire night researching makeup for my girlfriend’s birthday and now I need the girls to review my choices 😭

My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up, and I had this idea of putting together a cute little makeup hamper for her with a pretty, aesthetic makeup pouch and a bunch of makeup and beauty products inside. I want it to look adorable but also contain things she’ll actually use!

I have spent practically the ENTIRE NIGHT researching products through ChatGPT, Reddit, YouTube videos, Instagram reels, reviews, and whatever else I could find.

My budget is ₹4-5k for everything, including the pouch.

Girls, please tell me:

  • Are these products actually good?
  • What should I remove or replace? or any other advice you wanna give?
  • What else should I add within my budget?
  • Any recommendations for some pinteresty makeup pouches?
  • Things that I should definitely add like something universal and safe option,if I am missing out something.

I want a mix of good everyday makeup and cute products she'll genuinely use.

Help a clueless boyfriend out. I've sacrificed my sleep for this mission. 😭💅🏻

UPDATE 🎀

I'm rethinking my plan and considering getting her 2–3 higher-end products instead of 10 affordable ones. Could you recommend a good lipstick and 2–3 other makeup products that are widely used and would make great additions to a girl's makeup collection? They don't necessarily have to be products that are easy to choose in terms of shades. I'm open to anything that's good quality, popular, and generally useful. I'd like to keep the total budget under ₹5,000.
