The Best Mother’s Day Picks For The Beauty Obsessed

With Mother’s Day right around the corner, I’ve been pulling together present ideas for my Mom. This year has been a tough one with her mother passing away recently. I want to do something extra special for her once she is back. So, on top of a lovely high tea that I’ll be taking her to upon her return from Barbados (where she is helping out my Gramps), I’ll be gifting her with some of my favourite beauty products that I know she will love.

You see, I got my love of beauty from my mother and grandmother, so it seems only fitting to present her with a basket of makeup and skincare! As a kid, I would rifle through my mother’s makeup bag and goof around with cosmetics – usually using everything she owned on my face at once. Thankfully, I’ve progressed from “Clown Chic” to flattering neutrals, pretty pops of colour, and top-notch skincare. Ok! On to my best beauty picks for Mom!

Charlotte Tilbury Instant Look In A Palette – 5 Minute Face On The Go: Beauty Glow

My mom is a total busy bee, so this gorgeous limited edition palette would be perfect for her. She’s always on the go and rarely leaves the house without a little makeup. This limited edition palette contains everything she would need for a pretty, radiant day look.

It includes:

Eye Brighten: a brightening shadow in a champagne pink hue.

KMS Hair Play Sea Salt Spray  and KMS Hair Stay Anti-Humidity Seal Spray

Is your Mom partial to the sexy beach waves look? Hey – you never know. My friend’s Mom looks like Elle MacPherson and rocks beach waves better than anyone I know!

If so, gift her with KMS’ Hair Play Sea Salt Spray and Hair Stay Anti-Humidity Seal Spray. KMS’ Hair Play gives you beachy waves with a ton of texture. This is thanks to it being loaded with salt from the Dead Sea. This texture spray allows for mega-fullness and gives even short hair lovely volume, hold and finish. Super easy to use to: simply spray into damp hair and air-dry. You can also blow-dry your hair for boosted texture.

KMS Hair Stay, according to the KMS site, “acts like an umbrella for hair.” It effectively shields your hair from frizz-inducing humidity for up to 72 hours! Insane! This awesome hair spray also provides beautiful weightless shine.

Essence Get Big! Lashes Waterproof Mascara

Mom’s pretty peepers deserve to shine! This budget-friendly mascara is amazing – truly. It comes with one of the fattest, densest brushes I’ve ever seen, separating and lengthening lashes beautiful. This mascara is so great too for those who wear glasses as it really opens up the eyes. At under $10 too, it’s a drugstore gem.

My mom has itty bitty lashes, so I know this super volume-boosting mascara is going to go over really well!

How are you treating Mom this Mother’s Day? Is she a beauty junkie too? Let me know in the comments!
