Were you marked safe from the 5.5 and payday sales? Or were you able to score treats for the beautiful mothers in your life? Yes, Mother’s Day is this Sunday (fyi in case it flies by). Being a mother myself, I do appreciate the greetings and gifts I get on this yearly occasion, and relish giving gifts to honor important women in my life. If you’re still on the lookout for a mother’s day gift, I got you! You might like to check out the Mother’s Day promos on Sephora.ph. Or try new treats from Ever Bilena, Hello Glow, and NARS.

Ever Bilena makes you Water (Tint)

I’ve always liked lip tints, but it has proven difficult to find one that looks good on my dry, eternally chapped lips. If you’re like me, you might want to try Ever Bilena’s new Water Tint (P195). Infused with 4x Hyaluronic Acid, it helps keep your lips hydrated with a pretty wash of vibrant color that stays on all day. It also looks great on the cheeks!

It comes in six (6) flattering shades: Roseate, Vivacious, Gleaming, Mirthful, Sleek, and Remarkable. I can see how this would be flattering across many skin tones, because it applies sheer and has a natural finish.

Head-to-toe smooth skin with Hello Glow

If you’re looking to save time and money, ditch the salon appointments and do it yourself at home. Or, make it festive and use DIY products for a fun spa-rty with mom! Hello Glow has a few products you might want to try.

Hello Glow 2-in-1 Body Wax Strips (P149, box of 8) are a versatile option that works for different areas of the body. One box contains 8 wax strips which you can cut to best fit where you want to use it. Easily remove unwanted hair from legs, arms, underarms, bikini area, and even along the chin or jaw area. Bonus: the wax strips leave the skin moisturized, too!

If waxing isn’t your thing, you can try Hello Glow Hair Removal Cream (P145, 25g). It comes with a spatula for easy, even application and removal. It is formulated with Oat, Green Tea, and Peach Extracts plus Shea Butter, leaving the skin soft and moisturized.

Can’t stand the sight of those pesky whiteheads and blackheads on your nose? Hello Glow Nose Strips (P149, box of 6) can help remove them for you. The combination of Witch Hazel and Licorice Root Extracts helps unclog and tighten pores while removing deep-seated impurities. The nose strips are available in black (charcoal) and white.
