Mother’s Day Gift Guide: Total Makeover!
There’s nothing more perfect for mom than beautiful gift sets of skincare and makeup for Mother’s Day, wouldn’t you agree?
This week, I spied one divine gift set from La Mer I just know my mamasita would love to pamper herself with. Peep this Miraculous Beginnings set ($325 US) – it comes in two versions, Normal/Dry or Normal/Oily, so you can get the set that will work best for Mom. Best of all, it comes with their famed Crème de La Mer and The Eye Concentrate she’ll totally love.
Spoil Mom with the sophistication of gardenias with Kiehl’s Limited Edition Gardenia Collection. Get her the Liquid Body Cleanser ($15.50 US) made with Aloe and Wheat Protein to give her moisturizing skin. Pair it with the Hand and Body Lotion ($19.50 US) that’s lightly scented with gardenias to give her the perfect combo for relaxation.
Any Mom on-the-go can appreciate a gift that will help her look pulled together in a pinch. Benefit’s Fast and Flawless ($48 US) comes with everything she needs – Some Kind-a Gorgeous, Eye Bright, Get Bent Lash, a Benetint deluxe sample, as well as a makeup lesson on how to fake flawless fast!
And if these gifts won’t do it for Mom, check out some of my previous entries on fun ideas for Mother’s Day. From spa ideas, fragrance gifts to brunch recipes, I hope you’re able to find the perfect gift that will tell Mom how much you love her too!

Hi Nikki,
I’m glad you liked the Mother’s Day ideas! I just thought I’d share what I think my own mom would like.. good thing she doesn’t read this blog – it would spoil all the surprises!
Hope you’re having a good week! Do you have anything planned for Mother’s Day this weekend?

Great choices!!I have the Kiehl’s Gardenia lotion (2 bottles!!) and the Some kind-a-gorgeous, and both are among my favorite beauty items right now. I wish someone would buy me the La Mer collection (but not my husband, since we can’t afford it)

Hi Nikki,
I wish I could surprise my mom with a gift or two! She lives in Lake Tahoe so I won’t get to spend the day with her. I got her a card and will probably go surprise her later on this month with a visit when she least expects it
I hope you have a great time with your family this weekend!

Hi Elizabeth,
Wow, two bottles of the Gardenia! It must be a great product then? What makes it a favorite for you?
I wish someone would get me La Mer too, doesn’t that set look divine??
Hope your hubby does something sweet for you this weekend!

Lilan, it’s just the best gardenia scent I have ever smelled. Gardenia can be very heavy, but this is light and gorgeous. I highly recommend it if you like gardenia at all. Also, it’s a very light lotion (typical Kiehl’s lotion, which I love).

I really LOVE gardenias! Actually, almost any white floral scent I love. I’ll definitely check this out next time I’m at Nordies! Thanks for the additional recommendation, Elizabeth!
Are you up to anything fun tonight? I’m pretty beat, but I’m so glad that tomorrow is Friday!
