Mother's Day Beauty Gifts

These gifts are good for moms because they each take into account some of the annoying issues women deal with and often want to correct as they age.

To Make Her Smile

Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening System – It's always a great idea to give a gift that keeps on giving, and this custom at-home teeth whitening kit does exactly that! Mom can whiten her teeth from the comfort of home all year long!

We've both been using our kits for almost a year now and our teeth are the whitest they've ever been! Here's Daisy's handy video showing the system in action. It's amazing how quickly you see results!

To Organize the Clutter

Train Case Cosmetics Organizer – This heavy-duty makeup case is perfect for on-the-go moms and is Amazon's #1 best seller for makeup cases. The dividers are adjustable so you can customize it to fit your specific palettes and goodies.

We both own one and use them whenever we travel. We love that our MacBooks even fit in the outer pocket!

To Apply Makeup

Trifold Magnifying LED Makeup Mirror – This is another option that works well for mom's who like to travel, because it folds down to a compact size for packing. It has 2x and 3x magnifying mirrors, bright LED lights, and comes in multiple color options — including rose gold.

To Add a Touch of Color

Essie Sunshine State of Mind – Of course mom wants a fun new polish for summer! Pair this with a gift certificate to a nail salon for extra credit.

Essie Cascade Cool Nail Polish – This option provides great coverage and is the perfect go-to color to pair with summer outfits.

To Hide the Wrinkles

Benefit The POREfessional –  Primer is a great option for moms because it helps to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. When you have a good primer in place, foundation goes on better and won't settle into wrinkles.

To Reduce Age Spots

PMD Personal Microderm Device – This exfoliating device sloughs off dead skin cells and helps stimulate new cell production, which in turn helps reduce the appearance of age spots.

To Plump Lips

Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme – This is a great product for moms who find their lips thinning as they age. It makes lips look smoother so the fine lines aren't as apparent.

NOTE: There is a tingly sensation when it's first applied, but that goes away after a few minutes.

To Fake a Tan

Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour Kit – It's sometimes difficult to find contour kits that don't include reddish undertones, but the colors in ABH's contour kits are a true taupe/brown. They're also matte, so they work great for an everyday look.

Laura Geller Baked Body Frosting in Tahitian Glow – This bronzer goes on smooth and looks beautiful on moms with paler skin tones. FYI: It's got some sparkle to it, so it works well for a girls night out!

You know you're a mom when all you want is alone time, but you miss your kids as soon as you get it! Share on X

If you have any questions about what to buy for your mom, just let us know in the comments. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

XOXO Erin & Daisy
