Gem and Jo's Mother's Day Gift Guide - Beauty

We know lots of mammys love to wear makeup and take care of their skin, as they should, mammys can look hot too! So as their offspring we should feel obligated to help them look as pretty as they want. So here are some excellent beauty products to make them feel so beautiful!
If you have a fashion forward lady, check this gift guide!
If you have a mammy who loves lovely things, check this gift guide!

Sleek Makeup:

 

How great is this Sleek gift set? You get all of this stuff for just €26.00! So many mammys would love this as a present for Mother's Day, but who says you have to be given it! Buy it for yourself, we know we would! 

Buy it here (It's a web exclusive unfortunately)

If you don't think your mam would like this whole set then you can pick up a couple of things from Sleek that are great! For example: any of the I-Divine eye shadow palettes!

Oh So Special                                     Au Natural 

L'Occitane. 

L'Occitane's stuff is amazing you guys!! And their Cherry Blossom range is just the most beautiful smelling thing ever. Seriously. This set, which is on sale!, has a whole load of cherry blossom products that mammy is sure to love! 

Buy it here for €52.00 

If you don't think that mother of yours would like so much cherry blossom in her life, there are a ton of gift sets on L'Occitane's website, go check 'em out!

No.7 at Boots.

Have you guys noticed how much we love No.7? Because we really love them you guys, really love them. If you haven't already go check out our review of their matte foundation here. They have some really great makeup sets that would be great for the ole mother! For example, their High Shine Lip Crayon set is amazing and who doesn't love crayons! 

How cute are they? Plus the colours are fantastic and crayons tend to be super moisturising, which means mammy's lips wont be all dry when she's repeatedly kissing you on the cheek! Except then you'll probably be left with lipstick all over your face. Sacrifices have to be made people!

Take a look at the set here

If you are in Boots looking at No.7 for mammy and you don't think she would like any of it, don't forget that Boots do some really lovely gift sets themselves. So make sure to have a bit of a wander around before you settle for something that wouldn't suit your woman. 

Elizabeth Arden

If your mam happens to have a skincare routine down already and doesn't like to change it up, you could always be super sneaky, check out what she uses and then get her some more! Lots of women use Elizabeth Arden skincare, because it is so amazing, but it's also kinda pricey and it kills us to go out and buy some more when we run out. So for Mother's Day, why not save her the hassle! 

Here's a couple of their products that are really popular: 

8 Hour Cream set: $42.00 (An absolute steal cause this stuff is amazing!) 

Get it here

Prevage Anti-Ageing set: $230.00. 

We know this is really, really expensive but this stuff is the créme de la créme of anti-ageing. It was once described to us as the Rolls Royce of Anti-Ageing. So it's pretty good. Any woman who is into makeup and skincare will be very shocked and excited to get this as a present!

Would your mammy like any of these? Does she have more makeup than you?

Until next time,

Who doesn't love a new mug? We certainly do! And what would be better than getting your Mam a mug with your face on it! Photobox is a great online service that lets you print pictures onto mugs and then they post it to you! So easy!

A collection of photos lovingly selected and put together is a great way to show someone how mch you love them, here is a couple of frames that will help get the job done!

This frame filled with vintage photos of you and mammy would look adorable on any wall! The only drawback of this frame is the price, it's a little steep at €65.00 however it is a Carolyn Donnelly. 

You can find it at Dunnes Stores or online here

This frame from Ikea is super cute also and it's only €12.00!! Affordable and adorable strikes yet again!

We are in love with this frame from Next Ireland, it;s just really unique and pretty and would look gorgeous on the wall at the stairs in Gem's house! (Perhaps it might just end up there!)

You can get it from Next for €41.00
