Pretty Much


Mother’s Day is coming up fast people. I’m excited to kick things off with a Mother’s Day beauty gift guide. This gift ideas are perfect picks for the mom that could use a little ‘me’ time to get back to her personal best. From skincare to beauty products, I’ve got plenty of presents to choose from!

Viviscal

Viviscal Maximum Strength Supplements – $59.99 (Also at Shoppers Drug Mart)
Mom has been tearing her hair out for years because of you – why not help her regain those lustrous locks with Viviscal? This drug-free solution helps to encourage strong, beautiful hair growth for thinning hair from the inside out. All it takes is two tablets a day and you’ll be on your way to gorgeous hair in no time – the product’s AminoMar C Marine Complex, silica and fortified Vitamin C work together to give your hair the vital nutrients needed. For best results, pair with the Viviscal lineup of hair care products for fuller, thicker-looking hair.

Rejuvenating Collection Beautycounter

Beautycounter Rejuvenating Collection – $383 ($429 value!)
It’s no secret that kids can give mom a few premature wrinkles – but now you can also help mom fight the signs of aging in the safest way possible with Beautycounter. The Rejuvenating Collection contains the brand’s entire anti-aging lineup, including a makeup-removing and moisturizing cleanser, a set of toner pads to minimize the appearance of pores, three day and night products to firm up skin and give it a healthy glow, and an eye cream to minimize puffiness and dark circles. In other words? A heavenly skincare regime in one awesome set.  I’ve written about the brand before and I still have nothing but rave reviews for the way their products leave my skin absolutely radiant – but are also totally safe to use, thanks to their stringent ingredient selection process. Trust me – mom will LOVE this!

MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Palette 3
MAKE UP FOR EVER Artist Palette 3 – Florals – $52 @ Sephora
Give mom a bouquet of flowers that will last with MAKE UP FOR EVER’s latest gorgeous eyeshadow palette. Featuring nine richly pigmented hues inspired by fresh springy shades like lilac and teal, this gorgeous palette also comes with an inspirational guide for how to best mix and match the shades for classic daytime looks and dramatic nighttime applications.

Lavender Star Gift Set

L’Occitane Lavender Star Gift Set – $76 (Value of $92)
Give mom a break and let her enjoy a relaxing spa night at home with this gorgeous gift set. Created in L’Occitane’s signature lavender scent (a known aroma to incite feelings of relaxation and calmness), this amazing collection includes five awesome products to help mom unwind – from a bubbly foaming bath product to a scented candle to set the mood.

 

MICRO Nail

MICRO Nail – $59.99 @ Shoppers Drug Mart or Online
Does mom love spending a night in and doing her nails? Make her routine a snap with MICRO Nail. How does it work? Simply use the two rollers in tandem to buff, smooth and shine up your nails. Start by using the Smooth Roller to get rid of rough ridges, then swap it out for the Shine Roller, to buff your nails to shiny perfection. The result is a crisp, clean, professional look for your nails – without the maintenance of nail polish!
