Mother’s
Day is a day we can celebrate and reflect on that special Mum (and some Mum’s)
in our life that ultimately put us here. I know myself being a Mother is the
best thing I could have ever achieved in life and is way better then any
qualification or piece of paper I could have received.
For me
it’s not about being spoilt or any of that but actually getting the time and
love from my family, after all us Mother’s are quite often taken for granted
and nobody knows what we really do behind the scenes.
I have
compiled a couple of picks to helpfully help you find that perfect gift for
Mummy J Mostly I have based this around
gifts I would have like to receive and those Mother’s around me as well.
So here is
what I come up with:
Pevonia Mystique Escape Bath salts
Mother’s Day falls in the cooler
months of the year so it is great to take advantage of this and spoil your mum
with those bath products that she can soak away with and just relax.
I like the Escape bath salts as
they smell like a tropical rainforest escape that takes you back to Summer. So
if you close your eyes while soaking in the bath you will think your laying in
a hammock in the tropical forest of Samoa.
Philosophy Amazing Grace Spray
Fragrance 60mL
Philosophy never seems to
disappoint and there will ALWAYS be a great product you can find for the one
you love when you’re stuck for ideas.
One of my favourite scents from
their collection is this one, and I got pre-approval from my Mum on this and
she agrees it is a very lovely smell that is hard to not like.
Jeanne Arthes Paris Amore Mio
Fragrance 100mL $19.95
This is one for those who have a
budget but yet want to keep mum smelling amazing. The packaging reminds me of a
top shelf fragrance without the pricetag.
A great bargain for those with a
budget.
These can be found at selected
pharmacies.
Sony Reader PRS-T3
This is perfect for those Mummies
that like to read up a storm. I loved the fact that the screen on the Sony
Reader did not actually look like a computer screen and much like the paper of
a book.
You don’t even have to make a trip
to the bookstore to find a great read, the online store has some great
selection to choose from.
This is certainly a spoil mum gift
as it is quite pricey.
I have popped this on my wants list
for Mother’s Day as I have just gotten back into reading before I go to sleep.
I used to jump on the Apple Macbook but found it soo hard to close my eyes and
settle after sitting on the Apple Macbook for an hour- plus I don’t think it is
too good for you.
SK-II Pitera Essence Set-
40mL SK-II
Facial Treatment clear lotion
75mL SK-II
Facial Treatment Essence
1 piece
SK-II Facial Treatment Mask
This is a pack where you will get
more bang for your buck and your dollar really stretched. Although it is very
much a spoil mum gift back (but who says we cannot spoil the mum sin our life
on mothers day.) I have used the SK-II facial treatment mask, which was given
to me by a friend when my skin took a turn for the worse and fell in love.
This is great for both younger
mothers and older mothers.
Theorie Argan Oil- each individual
would make for a perfect hamper.
Theorie Argan Oil Ultimate Repair
Shampoo
Theorie Argan Oil Ultimate Repair
Conditioner
Theorie Argan Oil Hair Masque
If there is one range of hair
products I am lusting over right now it is certainly the Theorie Argan Oil
Range.
Luckily I know my Mum doesn’t read
my blog so I can tell you this is what she will be getting for Mother’s Day. I
will be putting together a super cute little hamper with shredded brown paper
as it suits the packaging of this range. I love how it has the natural nature
kind of feel to it.
With this range I will go into more
depth in a lengthy review in a couple of weeks, so if you want to hear my
verdict hang tight.
Below aer
some amazing Mother’s Day Ideas from the Purist Group
Two
amazing ones for Al’chemy
Ylang, Ylang shampoo and the
Macadamia and wheat protein conditioner
So since I became a blogger and
started to explore the market a little more, I have always had a soft spot for
Al’chemy and their products. I love their packaging and always end up finding a
product I want and end up making it mine.
I think the shampoo and conditioner
would make a great present for those with a budget and looking for a present
for a Mother that has everything- after all you can never have too many hair
products!
A’kin- Purely Revitalising products to create a super cute pack.
A’kin- Purely revitalising lifting
eye crème
A’kin purely revitalising firming
night crème anti-aging 50mL
A’kin Purely Revitalising
Brightening Day crème 50mL
This range
is also from the purist company and thought I would include them as they has
some beautiful products that can create some super spoiling gift packs for Mum.
Another
product I will be including into Mum’s gift pack is the A’kin Purely
revitalising brightening day crème as she is always complaining about how
“bleh” her skin is during the day.
I will be
popping up a full review of some of these products soon, so watch this space.
Okuru Natures Wrinkle Treatment
$119.80
I don’t
have wrinkles but I know my Mother does (Sorry Ma) hence the reason why this
one is in here. My mum doesn’t like her wrinkles, and I don’t know an older
lady that does to be honest.
So this is
where I think they will like this pack as it contains:
30mL
lapureté Day crème
30mL
lapureté Night crème
15mL
lapureté eye crème FREE
lapureté
cosmetic bag FREE
I
personally love this pack and think this is the perfect pack from the purist
group to spoil mum. By now I think you would be able to tell that the purist
group is one of my favourite to buy from when it comes to great and natural
products.
The bag
this Okuru set comes in is beautiful and soft and I am going to use this as my
travel makeup and or toiletries bag- its so soft to touch, and oh so pure
white.
In my
Mother’s Day wish list I also have to include some cosmetics in there – as this
is on my lists for EVERYTHING! I love keeping up to date with the latest
cosmetics and colours.
Here are a
few amazing pieces I think any Mother would be happy with, either together or
in a little pack.
A couple
from Covergirl:
Covergirl Flamed out Mascara
I love this mascara so much so you
will see a review on it very soon, if it isn’t already up by the time you have
read my gift wish list/gift guide.
So easy to use and doesn’t clump,
making the smallest of lashes look full.
Covergirl and Olay Tone Rehab- this
is in 125 buff beige
This is a great foundation for both
young and old. Personally I don’t have any wrinkles (touch wood), but my Mum
does.
I tried It out on her to find that
she loved it and was able to cover and really hide those smile wrinkles, which
she is so conscious about.
And a couple from Max Factor
Max Factor Max Effect Trio
Eyeshadow- 01 Coco Crazy
A beautiful colour palette for
those Mummies like me who love a good eye shadow. The Max Factor range really
does last and is great value for money.
Max Factor Lip Stick- Scarlet
ghost, flushes fuchsia
As everyone knows I love a little
(well a lot) of colour on the lips. I think the Max Factor lip stick is a great
place to start with lip colour as it isn’t an over kill and can be used lightly
for a little colour of liberally for a deeper colour.
Scarlet ghost is a beautiful shade
of red, which can dress just about any outfit up. But can also be used lightly
to create that sophisticated casual look.
Flushes Fuchsia is my favourite
lippy shade for Feb/March as I love a stunning pink lipstick.
This is very subtle and doesn’t
bring all the attention to your lips, I love to wear this when I am dressing in
the light pinks, the creams and tans.
You will
also see many different articles and lists pop up on the blog in the coming
months- these are just the selected few I am in love with and to hopefully give
inspiration to a few children or people out there lost for ideas on Mother’s
Day.
