Mother’s Day is quite literally right around the corner. And because you’ve been otherwise occupied, you still don’t have the perfect gift.
If your mom’s a beauty junkie (like a lot of us here), she’d appreciate adding a few beauty products in her arsenal. We’ve gathered some classic beauty products that all moms–even the super busy ones–can appreciate.
Laura Mercier Velour Extreme Lipsticks
Newly launched as the brand’s most pigmented lipstick, the Velour Extreme may just become a new standard for matte lipsticks. Highly pigmented, it glides on creamy, equipped with silky conditioners that keep your lips from dying out. Its easy-to-use stick packaging makes touching up easy, even when on the go, and it dries perfectly into a dramatic matte finish.
And with 24 shades to choose from, there’s bound to be one that’s perfect for your mom’s personality.

Benefit Gimme Brow
If we had to pick one brow champion, it’d have to be Benefit Cosmetics. The San Francisco-born beauty brand has an extensive line of products. From pencils and powders, to gels and primers, they’ve got everything you need to get that perfect arch every day.
One such product with a cult following is the Gimme Brow, which returns after some production issues last year. The eyebrow gel contains microfibers that mimic the look of real hair, for fuller and more natural-looking brows. This way, even when mom has errands to run all day, her eyebrows will still be on fleek.
In fact, why don’t you go the extra mile and treat your mother to an eyebrow wax? With this month’s #boldisbeautiful, Benefit Cosmetics has pledged to give 100% of their brow wax proceeds to the students and mothers of Mano Amiga Philippines. Doing good while looking good–what could be a better gift?

SM Seaside City
Held on November 17 at the 1st Level of Rustan’s, Ayala Center Cebu, it was a gathering of luxury cosmetic, skincare and fragrance brands in one surreal night filled with optical illusions, whimsical installations and contrasting pastels.
Guests got their beauty fix by participating in fun, counter activities from over 30 brands which included Bobbi Brown, Burberry, Bvlgari, Ferragamo, Issey Miyake, Lanvin, CHANEL, Clarins, Clean Reserve, Clinique, Deborah Lippmann, O.P.I., Dermalogica, Estee Lauder, Jane Iredale, Kanebo, La Mer, La Prairie, Laura Mercier, L’Occitane, M.A.C., Mario Badescu, Michael Kors, Murad, NARS, Nuxe, Phyto, Stila, and YSL. Jo Malone also debuted their counter that night to everyone’s delight.
In keeping with the Rustan’s tradition of giving back, a 3D Charity Wall was set up where each photo taken and uploaded on social media using the hashtag #RustansBeautyAddictGivesBack was equivalent to an amount to be donated to the iCanServe Foundation Inc., an organization that helps women with breast cancer in the Philippines.
Beauty Addicts went home from the biggest beauty event of the year, which is on its fourth installment, armed with prizes, gifts, and double the points on their cards. Rustan’s The Beauty Source is set to have more events in Cebu to look forward to.
Receive exclusive invitations and redeem special gifts and treats when you become a Beauty Addict member with a single purchase receipt of PHP 2,500 at The Beauty Source, Rustan’s cosmetics, perfumeries and toiletries division.
