Above: Mother’s Day gift suggestions in every category…spy something intriguing?
It’s wild to think that Mother’s Day is less than a week away! Indeed…on Sunday, May 10th, most of us will spending time with the woman that gave us life and hopefully we’ll bestow her with a gift that is worthy of her immeasurable value! Consequently, I’ve created a Mother’s Day gift guide; with suggestions (and one-sentence summaries for products with out an existing review) in the broad categories of skincare, complexion, cheeks, eyes and lips, there is bound to be something for every special female in your life, including yourself ; )
Kindly scroll on for Mother’s Day gift inspiration as well as the Bottom Line…
Above: Me and my mom…I am so thankful to call her my best friend and Beauty Professor assistant…what a blessing!
(4) Scalisi Advanced Wrinkle Cream…Hyluronic acid instantly fills lines for a stunning botox effect; my “elevens” lines were immediately lessened with a single application.
(11) Hair La Vie…this magnificent hair formula (with 20 natural ingredients) not only stimulates hair growth; it also repairs damaged hair and feeds existing follicles for a flowing mane in months.
(13) Zelens PHA Bio-Peel Resurfacing Facial Pads…drenched with PHA, AHA and BHA acids combine forces to smooth skin, increase cell turnover and reduce the look of visible pores. My nightly indulgence as of late!
(15) Sibu Omega 7…improve skin from the inside out with this antioxidant-rich supplement that harnesses the power of Sea Buckthorn to fight free-radicals and repair cells. I’ve incorporated two a day into my vitamin routine to give my body a boost!
(18) ZO Skin Health OClipse Smart Tone SPF 50…a brand new formula, this broad-spectrum SPF 50 features a self-adjusting tint that fights redness and lasts for up to 12 hours.
(19) Luzern Force de Vie Eye Contour Cream…with a cooling metal application wand and convenient squeeze tube packaging (perfect for the nightstand), this innovative formula works to banish puffiness and restore elasticity to eyes.
(21) Eb5 Facial Treatment…affordable and effective, this all-in-one anti-aging cream targets fine lines and wrinkles while delivering tremendous hydration.

Above: The ghd Eclipse Hair Styler…smooth, damage-free hair in seconds.
For hair, I cannot recommend the ghd Eclipse Hair Styler (review HERE) enough. Every ghd styling tool is crafted with excellence and this particular model manages to create the smoothest, straightest, glossiest hair without the heat damage associated with typical straighteners.
Above: IMBIBE Holy Body Cream + Fragrance Set.
For those who adore a strictly natural formula, consider the Imbibe Holy Body Cream and Fragrance set. Fragranced with frankincense and myrrh, this rich cream and corresponding fragrance capture the senses and nourish the skin.
Above: Fans of all natural ingredients and a warm, musky fragrance will have a major affinity for this set.
(8) Ben Nye Neutral Set Powder…there’s a reason this loose powder is a favorite amongst professional makeup artists; just a slight dusting across the T-zone and makeup is powerfully set with a formidably invisible formula.
(10) Urban Decay De-Slick Powder…entirely translucent and suitable for every complexion tone–from the fairest ivory to the deepest ebony–this mattifying powder instantly obliterates signs of oiliness!
Above: From primer to powder, products to perfect the complexion!
Above: Highlighters, bronzers and blushes for impeccable cheeks et al.
(6) Tom Ford Eyeshadow (Summer ’15) in Golden Peach…as good as the name implies, this double decker gem is comprised of a decadent cream formula and a glimmering powder shadow for depth, dimension and significant lasting power.
Above: Eyes are, of course, the window to the soul.
(5) Diana Vreeland Smashingly Brilliant…the iconic Diana Vreeland’s eponymous fragrance line is pure sophistication…notes of bright lemon, deep bergamont and warm woods collectively lend to the allure of this juice.
Above: Lip color is the gift that keeps on giving.

* It's great seeing the Diana Vreeland fragrance collection get some love!
* I am so so so jealous of people who can give their mothers the gift of Louboutin nail polish without the brush/cap ending up in someone's eye!
* If what your mother looks like is an accurate indicator, I have reason to believe you're immortal or have unicorn blood coursing through your veins – both of you look about the same age as many of the undergraduate students in my college!
The Diana Vreeland collection is so chic…one word: tassels! I love this fragrance and was happy to feature it ; )
Isn't the Louboutin polish positively lethal looking? I adore the fact that it can double as a brilliant self-defense item!
Unicorn blood = best compliment ever! Thank you. My mom does look amazing and I'm hoping her good genes extend to me ; ) Much appreciation for your sweet words, my friend!
