24 best Mother's Day beauty gifts for every type of Mum!

The Glam Mum

1/28

She’s perfectly coiffed and always looks put together no matter the time of the day. The glam Mum exudes quiet confidence, has impeccable taste, and believes in taking time out to pamper herself.

My Burberry EDT, $142

2/28

Be the Cara Delevingne to her Kate Moss and share this ultra-feminine flowery concoction which smells like spring flowers after the rain. Purchase the perfume at any Burberry boutique (between May 6 to 8) and receive a bespoke bouquet with floral arrangements inspired by the notes in the fragrance.

Orbis Collagen 12,000, 3 boxes for $188

3/28

Help Mum look youthful for longer with a month’s supply of Orbis’ collagen shots which boast an antioxidative blend of concentrated acai extract and vitamin C, both of which said to kickstart collagen production for more radiant skin. Bottoms up!

Penhaligon’s Assam Tea Candle Box Group, $230

4/28

If Mum’s more of a tea than coffee person, she’ll love this trio of beautifully packaged, tea-scented candles (assam, neroli, and earl grey to be exact) which burn evenly and leave the room with a subtle fragrance. Great for when the hard-to-impress in-laws come over for dinner.

Crabtree & Evelyn Indulgent Essentials in Caribbean Island Wild Flowers, $120

5/28

Send Mum on a sensorial journey to the Bahamas with this gift set which includes a body wash and lotion, as well as a fragrance to complete her experience without her even leaving the bathroom.

GHD Platinum Styler, $395

6/28

We’re pretty sure Mum will appreciate this nifty styling gadget – she’ll be able to get sexy waves and sleek locks with less heat damage, in a shorter time. P.S.: The glossy white finish of the styler will make it look right at home on her posh marble-top vanity.

Porcelain Aesthetics’ Proionic Facial, $406.90 for 90 minutes

The results of this raved-about radiofrequency facial will put a smile on Mum’s newly taut and radiant visage – and dare we say – make her appear five years younger in just 90 minutes.

The Jet-setter Mum

8/28

She spends more time in the air than she does on the ground, so her demands are high. Think products that do double duty, or a minimalist routine that keeps her skin looking good on the go.

Ren Keep Young And Beautiful Instant Brightening Beauty Shot Eye Lift, $69

9/28

The perfect product to get Mum looking bright-eyed and bushy-tailed after a red-eye flight, this lightweight gel-serum instantly cools and tightens for a more lifted eye contour.

Allies of Skin 24/7 Kit, $277

10/28

Does Mum like travelling light? This three-product kit contains the brand’s popular All-day mask; to keep skin protected from pollutants and hydrated; the Molecular Saviour Toner Mist which boasts an anti-evaporation formula (great for dry cabin air!); and the Overnight Mask, a reparative leave-on mask which “perfects” your skin while you sleep.

Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Concentrate, $105 for 30ml

11/28

Jetlag, stress and polluted air can leave skin looking worse for wear. Two pumps of this anti-aging booster, day and night, promises to boost her skin’s immunity and make it look smoother and more radiant, with less noticeable wrinkles to boot.

Laneige I Love You Mum Set, $111

12/28

Is Mum a fan of Song Hye-kyo’s flawless mien in popular K-drama Descendants of the Sun? Get her this travel-ready gift set which contains travel-friendly versions of the Perfect Renew Skin Refiner, Emulsion, Regenerator (a must-have in Song Hye-kyo’s night routine!), Cream, Eye Cream, and Regenerating Masks (five sheets). The set also comes with your choice of Laneige’s popular BB cushions (top up $3 for the anti-aging BB cushion). 

Lano Lanolips Golden Dry Skin Salve, USD25 (approx. S$33.56)

13/28

Sure, wintery temperatures can feel like a breath of fresh air when compared to our tropical humidity – but when Mum’s skin starts to resemble that of a scaly snake, we’re sure she’ll thank you for this silky balm which soothes and heals chafed skin.  

Estheclinic Glow To Go IPL Skin Rejuvenation Treatment, from $165 per session

14/28

Book Mum in for EstheClinic’s Glow To Go IPL Skin Rejuvenation Treatment, which utilises pain-free IPL technology that promises to boost collagen production and skin turnover for radiant, more even-toned skin in just one session. It’s the perfect “layover” treatment if Mum only has 15-20 minutes to spare before catching her next flight.

The Sporty Mum

15/28

She probably uses her gym membership more than you do, and can outlast you in barre class. Plus, she’s got a dedicated Instagram following that stalks her for their daily dose of #fitspo.

NYX Full Throttle Lipstick in Up The Base, $16

16/28

This lipstick will stick with Mum through thick and thin, be it a hot yoga session or aqua aerobics class. It’s waterproof (read: won’t budge until it meets makeup remover!) and dries to a super-pigmented, matte finish.

Eyeko Sport Brush Mascara, $35

17/28

Water- and sweat-proof, a coat or two of this gel-based mascara will keep Mum’s lashes full and fluttery from her morning workout to after-work drinks with her girlfriends.

RMK UV Liquid Foundation, $70

18/28

We fully empathise with Mum’s need to look good on the treadmill, but we don’t condone wearing a full face of makeup, which has the propensity to clog pores. Get Mum a bottle of RMK’s UV Liquid Foundation, which boasts a super-light, sweat- and sebum- resistant formula but is pigmented enough to even out problem areas.

The Original Makeup Eraser, $30

19/28

This seemingly innocuous hot pink towel transforms into a nifty makeup remover cloth when soaked in warm water – great for Mums who want a quick and effective way to remove makeup and grime pre- or post-workout. It’s machine washable and reusable for up to a thousand washes.

Jo Malone Nashi Blossom Cologne, $210

20/28

There’s no reason Mum can’t smell good while going on her evening run. A couple spritzes of this fresh floral fragrance with notes of lemon, pear blossom, and rose will have her leaving a delicious trail on her route – like unattainable honey to the bees.

Philosophy Living Grace Shampoo, Bath & Shower Gel, $42

21/28

Why bring separate bottles of shampoo and body wash when this gentle, multi-tasking cleanser gets the job done just as well? Just a 50-cent sized blob creates a luxurious lather that’s sufficient to cover Mum from head to toe, and leave her skin (and hair!) feeling silky smooth.

The Hippie Mum

22/28

She only shops in the organic section at the supermarket, uses coconut oil as moisturiser and treats the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) site like it’s her bible.

Tata Harper Daily Essentials Set, $102

23/28

If Mum’s new to the world of “green” beauty, she’ll love this anti-aging starter kit that contains all of founder and celebrity facialist Tata Harper’s #DieDieMustBuy products. The set contains everything she needs for a complete day-to-night regimen to achieve younger-looking skin, from a cleanser and an eye cream, to the cult favourite Resurfacing Mask.   

Lush Mum Gift Set, $85

24/28

This colourful box of freshly-made (and vegan!) bath delights is perfect for a lazy Sunday of pampering. We don’t know of anyone who walks into a Lush store and out without feeling happy, so we’re confident Mum will be glad to take this box off your hands.

Schimdt’s Deodorant Bergamot + Lime Deodorant Stick, $16.90

25/28

Going the all-natural route doesn’t mean Mum has to give up on deodorant and endure funky bodily smells – nobody should, not in this weather! This zesty deodorant comes in a handy stick, and doesn’t contain any talc or aluminium-based compounds (which some say can block sweat glands); instead, baking soda and arrowroot powder are what promises to keep ‘pits dry and comfy.

Ilia Nobody’s Baby Lipstick, $45

26/28

Made of organic ingredients (think beeswax, castor and jojoba oil), this salmon-pink lippie is great if Mum likes wearing just a hint of a tint on her lips. One coat gives a sheer no-makeup makeup wash, while two or three coats will lend her lips a more opaque shade.  

Neom Organics Real Luxury Intensive Skin Treatment Candle, USD49 (approx. S$65.99)

27/28

This luxurious candle not only smells amazing (think jasmine, lavender, and rosewood!), it also melts into a blend of cocoa butter, soybean and almond oil which can be drizzled onto skin after it’s cooled for two minutes. Throw in some mother-daughter bonding time and treat Mum to a relaxing shoulder and neck massage.

Botani Spirulina Salt Scrub, $58

28/28

Botani’s creamy mint-green formula exfoliates gently and boasts olive and shea butter, an intensely hydrating cocktail of plant oils that leaves skin feeling silky smooth – Mum can even skip moisturiser post-shower if she likes.
