Beautiful gifts for your mum
Liam Sharma’s beauty guide for Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day is this Sunday and, although writing a heartfelt card and delivering breakfast nbe d might get you in her good ooks, there’s never been a better opportunity to give your mother (or motherly figure) a token of your ppreciation. Sometimes, all a mother eally wants is the latest serum, a ampering session or some space. If you’re looking for the perfect gift for your mum, or even a present for yourself on behalf of your hildren, look no further. I’ve ounded up eight gifts to ensure he mother in your life is reated like the icon she undoubtedly is.
From one mother to another – Chloe Zara Silk Hair Wash $46 New Zealand hair expert and mother Chloe Zara created her eponymous brand to offer a clean and highly effective hair range for all. I scooped a media sample of the Silk Hair Wash last year and, after just a few days, I found it in my mother’s bathroom cabinet.
Sweet aroma – Ecoya Jasmine & Neroli Diffuser $60
The truth is, your mother, in her time, has probably involuntarily smelt some awful aromas coming out of your body. Make it up to her. And she deserves a full-size one because of what you put her through as a child.
Easy win – Elizabeth Arden Retinol Ceramide Capsules $165 You can’t go wrong with Elizabeth Arden. Retinol is a miracle worker at mitigating fine lines and wrinkles, but be careful pointing those out – you might just lose a finger.
Think wisely before gifting – Fourth St Laundry Bar $18
If your mother doesn’t like doing laundry, do not give her this luxury laundry bar for handwashing. My mother loves washing, especially handwashing. I don’t know why. I think it must be therapeutic for her. She did mine voluntarily for 22 years; I almost feel bad. She would love this indulgent citrus bar.
Cheap and cheerful – Mecca Cosmetica Terry Headband $18
If you’re not in the position to splurge, buy her a Terry Headband. It will secure her locks while she pampers herself at night like the queen she rightly is.
Necessary splurge – Baina Roman Pool Towel $110
Yes, I know. $110 for a towel seems exorbitant, but it’s organic cotton, and I love expensive towels. It’s so much nicer drying your backside on organic cotton, didn’t you know that?
Brighten and tighten – Sol de Janeiro Brazilian Bum Bum Cream $76
This body cream smells so good I could almost slather it on toast. I’ve never smelt such a delicious, vanilla and pistachio aroma. The best thing about buying this for your mother is that you can share it with her.
For the mother who loves to keep up with the latest trends – Milk Makeup Vegan Milk Moisturizer $67
If your mother is anything like mine, she loves to keep up with the latest gossip and trends. Milk Makeup is making waves in the skincare industry, and its milk moisturiser combats uneven skin tones. This might help mitigate some of the dark, under-eye circles your mother acquired staying up for nights on end worrying about your whereabouts as a teenager.
