Fun, free-spirited, and fiercely independent, Aries tend to be creative, passionate, and energetic leaders who like to follow their dreams and be in charge. They are assertive, persistent, and courageous individuals who are able to push things forward with enthusiasm and persevere through pretty much anything. Aries is the first fire sign in the zodiac, so they can also be headstrong, short-tempered, and stubborn about getting their way. They are go-getters when it comes to their careers and girl bosses in other areas of their lives too. When shopping for an Aries you definitely want to look for things that speak to her boldness whether it be a red lipstick — they gravitate toward fiery shades — or anything that helps her to express her bright and bold personality. For some more ideas, check out these Latinx-owned gift ideas your Aries friend will definitely dig!

Vive Cosmetics Luchadora Lipstick

What did I say about red lipstick? Aries not only gravitate towards bold colors but when it comes to makeup — they love going for an unapologetic fierce shade of red. It’s legit like their thing. She’d also be ALL for this product description which reads: “Because todas somos luchadoras. We are all badass mujeres and people striving for a better tomorrow for ourselves, our families, and our people. Feel extra fierce in this vivid true red shade and kick some butt!” The new packaging is fire too!

Loisa Sazon & Adobo

Aries tend to live active lives and prioritize keeping their bodies strong and healthy. Part of being healthy is being conscious of the foods you eat.

Her well-being and taste buds would thank you for it!
