Teen Girls Beauty & Essentials

by Kiera Wallace | Updated: November 9, 2024

These ideas for teens include everyday essentials for girls! Try this natural skincare and cozy loungewear, or get organized with trendy room decor and organizing solutions. I know exactly what teen girls like, because I am one. I’m 12 years old and I love beauty products, jewelry, and stylish clothes.

L’BRI Products

First on my list, L’BRI skin care products are amazing and effective. I think these products are wonderful and refreshing. They help so much with my mild acne. Personally, my favorite products are the Oil-Free Moisture Lotion, Deep Pore Freshener, and Deep Pore Cleanser. L’BRI skincare is made with all natural ingredients, with aloe as the main ingredient.

Comfy from Costco

The Comfy (from Costco) is the coziest body-shaped blanket ever! I pretty much live in it. ๐Ÿ™‚ย  My dad got this Comfy wearable blanket about four years ago and he used it a lot. Recently I found it stuffed in the closet and… I adopted it! My Comfy is fleece-lined and it has a big pocket on the front. I especially love wearing it while I watch movies!

Mini Fridge

For those who love organizing, a mini fridge is a perfect item for a teen girl’s bedroom. You can use a mini fridge to store skincare or snacks. They are adorable and useful. Personally, I use my mini fridge for snacks. My favorite part about my mini fridge is the mirror on the front, which also has a lighted strip. I definitely recommend a mini fridge, a must-have on my list of ideas for teens!

Jewelry Box – Ideas for Teens

Next on my list of things teen girls need, the Voova Jewelry Box is one of my favorite things in my room. It has a lot of storage for jewelry such as earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. I think the box is cute, stylish, and a good way to organize special treasures and accessories. A classic jewelry box is also a fun gift for any teen girl.

lululemon Cross Body Bag

lululemon is one of my favorite brands. Because of this, I think their cross body bag is so cool and useful. I practically wear my cross body bag everywhere! This bag has three mesh pockets inside and one zip-up pocket on the back. I use my cross body bag to store lip balm, money & cards, and hand sanitizer. It is small enough to take anywhere!

Squishmallows

Additionally, Squishmallows are definitely an essential item for teen girls. They are perfect to use as cute decor or to hug when you feel sad. You can find many styles of squishmallows on Amazon. I lay on my squishmallows and cuddle them when I watch movies.

Graphic Tees – Ideas for Teens

Every single teenager absolutely needs a collection of graphic tees!!! They are cute & stylish, and you can get them in so many different designs. Make sure to choose graphic tees that are good quality and not too expensive. You can buy graphic tees at Kohls or on Amazon. Graphic tees are so cute to wear to school, youth group, and in everyday life.

Jewelry Hanger

Jewelry hangers are very useful for displaying cute accessories such as necklaces and earrings. I got mine at a garage sale, but you can also get a jewelry hanger on Amazon. Before you buy a jewelry hanger, make sure it is tasteful and good quality.

LED Light Box

I absolutely love this LED light box because I can use my creativity to write whatever I want, in my own way. I can arrange the letter cards to spell words on the board and then hit a switch to light up my custom message. You can find a variety of light box styles on Amazon. Light boxes are especially fun to use as party decor.

Travel Caddy – Ideas for Teens

Next, this adorable pink cosmetic box has a lid with a mirror and a light that converts into a mini vanity. This caddy is great for storing makeup and skincare. Furthermore, I can easily bring it to cheerleading performances and on a trip. The box holds a generous number of makeup products, and the mirror swivels from vertical to horizontal to become the box lid. Overall, I think this travel caddy combines cute style with clever design, making it perfect for teen girls.

That’s all for now! I hope you enjoyed my girly list of ideas for teens. ๐Ÿ™‚ Many of these items can be very helpful for organizing and enjoying teen girl life. I might add some more things to this post in the feature!

๐Ÿงณ Pack light with items that do more

We bring clothes that mix and match, quick-dry layers, fold-flat totes, and activities that encourage creativity. Think art supplies and travel board games. The less we carry, the more we can explore.

๐Ÿฅช Eat often and try new flavors
We use snack stops and meals to experience local culture. Bakeries, fruit stands, and small cafรฉs become our favorite spots. 

๐Ÿž๏ธ Choose simple adventures over packed days
We go on kid-friendly hikes, stop at playgrounds, and tour cultural centers. We visit great houses, historic workhouses, and local museums.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Use screens sparingly
Ideally our kids only use screens on travel days, and with a time limit. Shows and multi-player games can help turn dull afternoons into family fun!

๐Ÿ”ฆ Encourage curiosity
We explore as much as we can with our four kids, shopping at markets, using public transportation, and visiting immersive attractions. We find many free activities, and budget for must-see destinations.

Making YouTube videos of our family adventures has been such a great way to share and save our family memories. We watch our vids all the time, which take us right back to the special moments. Our audience is growing slowly, but itโ€™s really not about that at all!

Because we travel with our kids, our children are brave and adventurous โ€” willing to try new things and eager to problem solve. Adventurous kids are resourceful kids!

We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easte We visited the Trevi Fountain in Rome during Easter weekend. โ›ฒ๏ธโœจ Even though the streets of Rome were packed, this site had crowd control security, who only let a few people down in front of the fountain at a time.

We stood in line for 10 minutes, and were given unrushed time to take photos and video clips in front of this iconic landmark. ๐Ÿ“ธ We have no idea whether this is normal, but it was such a special highlight in Rome! 

Have you been to the Trevi Fountain? What was your experience with the crowds?

๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐ŸŒ‰ Destination Highlight: Tower Bridge, London! ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง

Tower Bridge ended up being such a memorable stop! The walkways offer amazing views of the River Thames and the city skyline.

โœจ Fun facts:

Tower Bridge opened in 1894 after eight years of construction.

Itโ€™s a bascule bridge, meaning the roadway lifts up for tall ships to pass through.

The glass floor walkways were added in 2014, giving visitors a thrilling (and slightly scary!) perspective from 138 feet above the Thames.

Our kids loved learning how the bridge lifts up using giant counterweights, and we all left with a new appreciation for Londonโ€™s engineering and history. ๐Ÿ’™

Would you be brave enough to walk across the glass floor? ๐Ÿ˜„
