If your mom hasn't switched up her makeup in years, this may be the perfect gift to get her out of her rut. This foundation is different than most formulas out there -- there's no water in it, so the color is more concentrated and you can use much less than you would with other foundations. The unique formula also gives you medium to full coverage but still feels lightweight (so it's great for moms who don't like a mask of makeup but still want to look their best).

Kate Somerville DermalQuench Liquid Lift Advanced Wrinkle Treatment, $95
If your mom won't let you drag her to the spa, give her this at-home product -- from the ultra-glam Kate Somerville Spa -- instead. This serum has oxygen, hyaluronic acid, and botanical extracts to help with wrinkles, sagging, uneven skin tone, and dryness. She'll feel like she just got a facial every time she uses it.
We don't know the exact definition of "mother," but we're pretty sure the word "selfless" is in there somewhere. Moms always seem to put their kids first -- and themselves dead last.
While we should appreciate our selfless mothers every day of the year, Mother's Day gives us an extra chance to say thanks. For all the time spent securing the bedroom from "monsters," giving advice on everything from math homework to boyfriends, and showing us unconditional love -- even when we've royally messed up.
This year, we rounded up all the gifts your mom will really love -- really beautiful, but useful, beauty products that she'd never buy for herself. These eight Mother's Day gifts are the ultimate in pampering: wonderful smelling, beautifully packaged, and worthy of a place on your mom's bathroom vanity. She'll love them all -- and the message behind them: that you want your mom to feel as loved as you do.
