Popsugar Beauty Beauty Gifts Beauty Gifts Our Editors Are Shopping For Mother's Day 12 Editor-Approved Mother's Day Beauty Gifts For the Person Who Deserves the World 4 May 2020 by Jessica Harrington Image Source: Farmacy As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. This year, more than any year prior, it feels especially important to let the ones we love know how much we care about and appreciate them. That's one of the things that's front of mind for us as Mother's Day quickly approaches. It would be naïve to pretend like May 10 isn't going to look a little different this year, but no matter what your circumstances are, we think Mother's Day is the perfect time to celebrate the people who matter most. (After all, the mom in your life probably deserves the world, especially right now.) With a focus on self-care, we're looking for gifts that spark joy and bring some zen into this strange time. Think: soothing candles, virtual facial massage sessions, and presents that support small businesses, like hair and nail salon gift cards. Aside from store-bought gifts, there are also a lot of ways to treat your loved ones if you want to get creative. You can craft a homemade bath bomb or body scrub from ingredients in your kitchen for a personalized present, or create a DIY spa day at home for some extra one-on-one time (because let's be real, the best gift for busy moms is just being able to sit back and relax). No matter who you're celebrating, we rounded up the best beauty gifts our editors are shopping for Mother's Day this year, ahead. Clinique Great Skin Everywhere Set Image Source: ulta.com "My mom is obsessed with Clinique products and has been using the same moisturiser made by the brand every day since I was a kid. When it comes to beauty and skin-care products, she doesn't like to try new things too often because her skin is pretty sensitive. With that in mind, I was thinking about getting her the Clinique Great Skin Everywhere Set ($68). It comes with her favourite moisturiser as well as a cleanser and toner that won't be too tough on her skin, and I'm sure she'll appreciate that." — Danielle Jackson, assistant beauty editor Clinique Great Skin Everywhere Set $68 from ulta.com Buy Now PAT MCGRATH LABS Lus Mini Lip Gloss Trio Image Source: sephora.com "My mom is a lip gloss gal through and through, so she'll love the PAT MCGRATH LABS Lus Mini Lip Gloss Trio ($25). The brand's signature sequin-filled packageing makes it feel like a special gift and the product's formula can't be beat. A winner!" — Macy Williams, editor, shop PAT MCGRATH LABS Lus Mini Lip Gloss Trio $25 from sephora.com Buy Now Nuface Mini Facial Toning Device Image Source: sephora.com "To help my mom re-create a relaxing spa experience from her home as often as she'd like, the Nuface Mini Facial Toning Device ($199) felt like a no-brainer. The small, handheld device helps contour, tone, and sculpt using microcurrents. It's easy to use and gives real results — which is something I know my mom, like most women out there, will really appreciate." — Jessica Harrington, associate beauty editor Nuface Mini Facial Toning Device $199 from sephora.com Buy Now Nail Salon Gift Card Image Source: Getty / RuslanDashinsky "In March, my mom and I had a trip planned to San Francisco to visit my sister and her newborn baby Claire, but of course, that plan quickly fell apart once the pandemic hit. And while Claire is still pretty freaking cute on FaceTime, I know my mom just wishes she could be there with her babies, so for Mother's Day I purchased a nail salon gift card in my sister's neighbourhood for all three of us to use when that time finally comes. We don't know when that'll be, but it'll give us something to look forward to — and help support salon workers in the process." — Kelsey Castañon, senior beauty editor Dr. Barbara Sturm The Glow Kit Image Source: molecular-cosmetics.com "My mom loves glowing skin as much as she loves me — seriously. From facials and dermaplaning, to stocking up on radiance-boosting skin care and dewy makeup, her obsession with getting her glow on is very, very real. That's why this Mother's Day, I want to spoil her with Dr. Barbara Sturm The Glow Kit ($210). The set comes in an adorable velvet bag and includes a seven-step skin-care routine that targets dullness, promotes skin health, and most importantly, gives the skin major glow. I know she'll be obsessed." — Samantha Holender, assistant beauty editor, Makeup.com Dr. Barbara Sturm The Glow Kit $210 from molecular-cosmetics.com Buy Now Virtual FaceGym Session Image Source: usa.facegym.com "My mom is a nurse, and if it were possible I'd gift her with a lifetime of spa treatments. Since that's not happening (at least not right now), I'm signing us up for a virtual PT session with FaceGym ($100-$260) — so we can DIY one of their lifting, contouring face workouts remotely yet together. And I'm going to send her their special Face Ball ($27) ahead of time. The best part? I can upgrade the group class to include up to four of her nurse friends." — Dawn Davis, senior editorial director, Group Nine Media virtual PT session with FaceGym $100 from usa.facegym.com Buy Now Face Ball $27 from usa.facegym.com Buy Now Beautycounter Limited-Edition Hand Cream Trio Image Source: beautycounter.com "I couldn't celebrate Mother's Day without thinking of my nana; she, my mom, and my sister make up my OG girl gang. Nana loves checking out all of the beauty products I bring home, but when I ask her specifically what she wants, she always answers two things: hand cream and a miracle-preforming face product. I'm happy I can make her first request come true with the Beautycounter Limited-Edition Hand Cream Trio ($34). The set of hand lotions are enriched with shea butter, grapeseed, and jojoba oils for non-greasy hydration — a must with all of the hand washing that's happening right now. — JH Beautycounter Limited-Edition Hand Cream Trio $34 from beautycounter.com Buy Now Schaf Intensive Skincare Kit Image Source: schafskincare.com "While she is a lover of all things beauty, my mother is not one to splurge on products. I figure Mother's Day is the best time to treat her to skin care I know she'll love and use but would never get for herself. From a facial cleanser made with soothing chamomile and aloe, to a luxuriously rich moisturiser, and mud mask treatment, the Schaf Intensive Skincare Kit ($145) has everything she needs to give her the pampering session she deserves." — Genesis Rivas, assistant beauty editor, Makeup.com Schaf Intensive Skincare Kit $145 from schafskincare.com Buy Now Glow Recipe My Watermelon Glow Vanity Set Image Source: sephora.com "This Mother's Day, I'm treating my mom to a much-needed glow routine after she's been spending hours a day in PPE working at a hospital. Her constant mask-wearing has taken a toll on her skin, so I wanted to gift her a set that would help address the harsh lines and dryness she's been battling — so the Glow Recipe My Watermelon Glow Vanity Set ($45) was a no-brainer. This three-piece collection comes with the Banana Soufflé Moisture Cream which helps address inflammation and dullness, the Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask that restores buoyancy and minimizes fine lines, plus the Watermelon Glow Ultra Fine Mist she can carry to work with her for a sweet, midday refresh. She's my health hero and deserves nothing but the best, dewy glow during this challenging time." — Alanna Martine Kilkeary, associate beauty editor, Makeup.com Glow Recipe My Watermelon Glow Vanity Set $45 from sephora.com Buy Now Be Free by Danielle Fishel Total Package Combo Image Source: befreebydaniellefishel.com "My aunt (who's basically my second mom) calls me every week, like clockwork, and asks me for a chemical-free, colour-safe hair care lineup that won't make her hair feel drab and dull. Enter, the Be Free by Danielle Fishel Total Package Combo ($60). I gave the collection a try recently and was obsessed with how voluminous and shiny my hair looked and how clean it felt. The products have a botanical rich formula that nourishes the hair, moisturises the scalp and gives a silky finish. Plus, the slight citrus scent is amazing. I have a feeling that after trying this set her weekly what-products-should-I-try calls won't be necessary." — SH Be Free by Danielle Fishel Total Package Combo $60 from befreebydaniellefishel.com Buy Now Farmacy Beauty Farmer's Market Kit Image Source: farmacybeauty.com "My mom is down in LA and I haven't seen her in months. Next to missing me (ahem!), I know she misses her local farmer's market and the farmers terribly. The Farmacy Beauty Farmer's Market Kit ($52) is not only a cute pun on her favourite weekly activity, but she values green beauty and I know this gift will carry double impact. The kit comes with four popular minis she'll love using to get her skin soft and glowy." - Rebecca Brown, senior editor Farmacy Beauty Farmer's Market Kit $52 from farmacybeauty.com Buy Now Uma The Calm Mama Mother's Day Gift Set Image Source: umaoils.com "My grandmother isn't a regular second mom, she's a cool second mom.
