I was recently gifted a set of sea monkeys that I immediately killed, and ever since that tragedy, I've gained a newfound respect for the mother who has kept me alive for the past 23 years. Along with making sure I was fed, happy, confident, and well-read as a child, my mom was also my first beauty muse.
Many of my fellow editors agree that they've learned some important makeup, hair, and skincare lessons from their mothers. If we're experts, then they are, too. Here's what our moms think yours will love to unwrap on May 13.
Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick
"I got a mini Bite Beauty Amuse Bouche Lipstick [2] ($26) as a free Sephora birthday gift and now want to get a full-size tube. I prefer a dark lip, and this formula is creamy and pigmented." — Janice
NYX Retractable Eyeliner Pencils
"I love NYX's Retractable Eyeliner Pencils [3] ($5). They're extremely easy to use, and I love the way the color lasts. I like that I don't have to sharpen them, too." — Janice
