Gift Guide | 2014 Mothers Day

Not long now til it's time to spoil that special woman whether it be your mum, aunt, step-mum, mother-in-law or grandma. I thought I would lend a helping hand and just show you a few possible gift ideas for those very special ladies in your life.

I've chosen a range of beauty related products for this gift guide and will do a few more later with different genres. They vary in price so there's something for everyone.




I know my mum is very into making sure her hands are nice and soft so this would be perfect for her. It contains three of their new hand creams, including their limited edition Rhubarb & Rose, which are perfect for throwing in your handbag and using when you're out and about.

I've chosen a picture of the Gwen Stefani Set but any OPI nail polish is what I was going for. They have such a huge range of colours there's bound to be something for everyone and also don't forget their base coats, top coats and nail treatments they sell.

Skincare is a big thing in most womens life. Why not treat your mum to a luxury skincare brand. I've only recently dabbled with Elemis but so far love it and I think my mum would love it to.

I couldn't do a gift guide and not mention Jo Malone Candles. The one I particularly love is Sweet Almond & Macaroon. It smells amazing and they will definitely love it if they are into sweet/bakery smells.

A nice fragrance is a perfect gift this Mother's Day. I decided to pick a Philosophy one as I sometimes think it's a brand that gets forgotten about for their fragrances amonst all the bigger names. So next time you're in a boots have a sniff!!

I obviously couldn't not mention Lush and their array of gifts for Mother's Day. A lovely little gift set like this one is perfect and has everything they could need to pamper themselves and have a relaxing evening in the bath. And a bonus is she gets a tin to then store her stuff in.

Wishlist | NARS

NARS is one of a few high end brands I have yet to purchase from but am very excited when I do eventually buy my first product from them. In the meanwhile I thought I would show you my wishlist of what I can't wait to get my hands on...




First up is the infamous NARS Sheer Glow Foundation which I have read review after review on and have mentally fallen in love with. I love that it leaves you with a dewy finish as I'm definitely not into the matte look. I also love that there is such a big range of colours to choose from.

NARS Satin Lip Pencil is the first NARS product I physically tried out. My friend had bought one in a bright pink colour and I knew straight away I needed this product in my life. Said to be highly pigmented whilst still hydrating the lips, it is definitely high up on my wishlist. I also included the picture in a orange shade as I want to inject orange into my lip collection this summer.

Next is the NARS NARSissist Eye Palette but I can't seem to find it online anywhere so I'm guessing it was limited edition and is no longer available so I'm just going to say NARS Eyeshadows in general I'm very interested in trying. I've read so many positive reviews about the NARS Duos so I may splash out on one of them.

Maybe one of the most well known products is the NARS Blush more particularly in Orgasm. I may just be giving in on the hype here but as people regularly compare it to Sleeks Rose Gold Blush which I own and bloody love, I really want to try the high end version.

Finally is NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base something I've only recently heard a lot about, especially on YouTube. After months of using MAC Paintpots and Maybelline 24HR Color Tattoos as my base I want to go back and try products specified for doing so. I've used a few drugstore versions so would like to try a high end one.

Do you own any of these items? 
Are there any other NARS products I should add to my wishlist?
