There’s nothing quite like a mother’s love, is there? She gives and never complains; the matriarch who tirelessly guides and supports her kin through thick and thin, and loves unconditionally.
Moms give their all to make sure we stay healthy and happy. So, why not spoil her this Mother’s Day? We’ve kept an eye out for only the best gifts for mom, so you can spend more time with her and less time browsing.
Pretty pout
There’s nothing quite like an elegant nude lip. It gives one a natural, yet flattering appearance, and can work for just about any occasion. With fl awless colour and a powdery matte finish, your mom will appreciate Lancôme’s matte formula, which contains hyaluronic acid and grand rose extract for long-lasting comfort.

Radiant and refreshed
Keeping your make-up in place all day can be tricky. However, if you keep your skin hydrated and refreshed with a soothing facial mist, you can avoid this inconvenience. Look out for formulas that contain electrolytes and caffeine as these provide an instant boost – mom will love this!

Sensational skincare
If your mom enjoys working on a petal-soft canvas when she applies her make-up, then she’ll love MAC’s innovative new serum which gives skin a lit-from-within appearance. This breathable, non-greasy formula contains Japanese peony extract, skin-refining niacinamide, and restorative ceramides to retexturize and strengthen the skin’s barrier:

Polished and pampered
With age, your skin produces fewer oils, leading to dryness. Help your mom get her glow back with the Clarins Tonic Body Polisher – filled with essential oils for renewed skin. Offering a spa-like treatment, your mom will enjoy her new silky, soft skin, and the heavenly scent that lingers all day.

Nailed it
Our hands and nails are constantly exposed and put to use – moms more so than others. This is why they deserve as much TLC as they can get. Encouraging your mom to regularly exfoliate her hands in circular motions will help increase her blood flow. Massaging in some hand cream will keep your queen’s hands and nails moisturised and looking healthy – what’s not to love?
