My mom is impossible to shop for. I don’t mean that in a negative way at all, she’s just a very practical woman who knows what she likes! When she finds something she wants, she’ll get it for herself and when her birthday or a holiday (like Mother’s Day) comes around, she’ll say “Hil, don’t get me anything I already bought myself what I wanted”. However, I have learned that one thing I can get her that she will always accept is beauty products.
Now that I’m a blogger, and have spent more hours then I’d like to admit researching and trying out makeup, hair tools, and skin products, she now trusts my judgement in that department and will accept gifts when I give them to her! I was so excited to partner with Belk on this Mother’s Day gift guide because I knew she would love what I picked out for her, and she would really get great use out of the products. She’s such a mom, in the sense that she always takes care of everyone else before thinking of herself, so I really wanted to pamper her this year.

Mom and I both have been wearing Clinique Happy fragrances for years, so this Clinique Perfectly Happy Set was a no-brainer. My favorite was the travel-sized fragrance bottle! She and my dad have been going on a lot of trips together lately, so it’s perfect for her to throw in her bag and not worry about finding room for a big bottle. Also, for only $55, it’s such a great value for everything you get!
My mom always taught me to care for my skin. I grew up knowing to always wash my face before I went to bed, to put on sunscreen under my makeup every day, and that moisturizing is essential, so I thought the Clinique Moisture Favorites Set was also a great choice for my mom’s gift. Everyone wants that healthy, dewy skin, and these three products really help you achieve that. My favorite is the Moisture Surge Supercharge Concentrate, which gives skin an instant 179-percent moisture boost. The Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator and Moisture Surge Overnight Mask also were great additions to the set for someone who wants that supple, hydrated look.
Then it was time for makeup. Like I said, my mom taught me to always wash my face before I went to bed, but she also taught me to bring makeup removing wipes with me whenever I went on trips. There’s nothing worse than being a houseguest and ruining someone’s hand towels with makeup! So, I loved that this Clinique set included a travel-sized set of makeup removing wipes with the Spring into Colour set. The All About Eyeshadow Quad (in the color ‘Going Steady”, Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour in ‘Woppin’ Watermelon’, Quickliner for Eyes in ‘Intense Black’ and High Impact Mascara in Black, plus the little travel bag, created the perfect on-the-go makeup set. It’s impossible to guess someone’s perfect color for makeup items like foundation or blush, but every woman is always in need of essentials for eyes and lips. The Chubby Stick lip color had to be my favorite. It’s the perfect every day shade that looks great with any skin tone.
Definitely check out Belk this year when you’re shopping for an amazing gift that will make your mom feel like a rock star this Mother’s Day (and make you the favorite child)! They have such a huge selection with options that will make even the pickiest, most practical mom happy and feeling more appreciated and loved than ever. Be on the lookout for Belk’s Mother’s Day Gift Guide mailer they’re sending out soon. It’s full of different gifting ideas for mom!
