Beauty gift sets—just in time to shop for Mother's Day

Benefit Cosmetics Soft & Natural Brows

Brows are (still) very in—but it's less about bigger and more about grooming your natural shape to suit your face. For the Mom that is ready to dip her toes into this beauty must, this kit (from brow experts Benefit) is the perfect starter. $46, sephora.com. 

Clinique 3-Step Skin Type Intro Kit

If you're looking for a trusted brand that you know Mom loves (or will love) you need to turn to Clinique. This 3-step package is a great blueprint for any skin-care routine and will be gentle on her skin. $29, beautyboutique.ca. 

Biossance Only The Good Clean Beauty Gift Set

If you haven't heard of squalane, now's your chance to get to know this wonder oil that has the beauty world buzzed. It's an oil found naturally in the skin, so adding it topically makes sense for pretty much everyone—even if you typically avoid oils. This starter kit from Biossance, which specializes in squalane offers up a mist and two potent serums to get you started. $90, sephora.com. 

Graydon Skincare Travel Kit

Ever since we were first introduced to Canadain brand Graydon we were hooked. It's a green and natural brand that covers hair products, face products and even a few products for your home, like the Germs Away Mist. Pick up this package of 5 minis to introduce yourself to the brand. $69, thedetoxmarket.ca. 

Nest Fragrances Spring Petite Trio

Spruce up Mom's downtime with three great-smelling candles from Nest Fragrances. The scents are fresh and citrus grapefruit, herbaceous cedar leaf and lavender and clean linen. $85, saks.ca.

OleHenriksen Balance It All Essentials Kit

We know that acne breakouts know no age, and so if an oily complexion is a concern for Mom, we recommend this trio from OleHenriksen which includes a cleanser, toner and an oil specifically for oily skin. $42, sephora.com. 

Quo Professional Charcoal Brush Set

Every woman needs a great brush set in her life—but you don't need to spend $100. Instead, head to your closest Shoppers and pick up this set, which includes a foundation brush, a powder brush, an angled brush and a blending sponge—all you need to create a glowing complexion. $29, beautyboutique.ca. 

Saje Natural Perfume Collection

Perfume is a pretty standard Mother's Day gift, but we recommend kicking ip up a notch by picking up this set of 5 fragrance from natural wellness brand Saje (which also happens to be Canadian). Not only do these essential-oil blends smell great, you apply them using crystal rollerballs—good vibes abound! $45, saje.com. 

Jo Malone London Cologne Collection

If we had to pick a fragrance brand that is universally loved, we'd have to admit it's Jo Malone London. Whether you like fruity or floral, earthy or fresh, the brand has something that appeals to everyone—and manages to feel luxe too. Let Mom find her own favourite Jo Malone scent by picking up this collection that includes the brand's favourites. $135, holtrenfrew.com.

The Detox Market Best Of Green Beauty Box

If you know Mom has been meaning to make more of an effort to pick up green and natural beauty products, this is the kit to get her started. The Detox Market only offers up green beauty and so its best of kit is full of favourites that are not only green—they work. It's on the pricier side, but the extra dollars are well worth the commitment to clean beauty. $189, thedetoxmarket.ca. 

CLEAN How to Hygge Collection

Take this wellness trend to the next level and get your mom to Hygge with her perfume. CLEAN Reserve adds a tutorial component with its fragrance kit by telling Mom how to layer fragrances to really relax. It includes six rollerball scents so there are plenty of combos—our favourite is the combo for comfort: Blonde Rose layered with Warm Cotton.  $72, sephora.com.

Consonant Skincare Skin Transformation Trio

This Canadian brand is a favourite among beauty editors, largely because these products really work. Introduce Mom to the best sellers with this kit—which includes the Natural Foaming Face Wash (the number one best seller!), the DHE Mask (to help hydrate and exfoliate) and the Ultra Moisturizing Organic Face Cream (a lightweight formula). $30, consonantskincare.com.

Stila Nouveau Nude Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick Set

We know Mom doesn't want to worry about reapplication when it comes to her lipstick, and that's why Stila is the brand you want to get her. Three nude-ish shades that offer creamy colour and really stay (for up to 12 hours) means that Mom will look fabulous—but be able to focus on things more important than touch-ups. $26, sephora.com.
