Beauty Gifts for Mom

Harry Josh Pro Tools Ultra Light Pro Dryer

Foreo Luna 3 for Sensitive Skin

Filorga Plumping Must-Have

Filorga Plumping Must-Have is for the mom who is serious about skincare. This set features two full-sized products: an intensive hyaluronic acid serum, and a peptide-based anti-wrinkle cream. This line is one of my mom's all-time favourites (and she's tried everything!).

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm Duo

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm Duo gives her two tubes of lip balm—and not just any lip balm. This stuff is the Holy Grail! Made from 100 percent natural lanolin, it heals chapping like nothing else (and also works on cuticles, nasal passages and dry skin patches).

Vitruvi Stone Diffuser, made from matte ceramic, uses ultrasonic technology (not heat) to diffuse essential oils. So it creates a gorgeous-smelling home, without the chemicals of room fresheners and candles.

Claus Porto Deco Mini Soap Collection features the most beautiful and colourful soaps I've ever seen. You get nine miniature soap bars, each one hand-wrapped in Art Deco-inspired packaging.

neuLASH Beauty on the Go Mini Kit
