Words by The MECCA Memo
A five-minute skin ritual, a curated fragrance wardrobe, truly effortless makeup – we can say with absolute confidence that Mum will be thrilled with these MECCA gifts, all of which are under $50 and vetted by our team of mothers and beauty lovers.
From a no-mirror-needed lip colour to complexion multitaskers, these makeup gifts aren’t about a full face (she probably has limited time for that, anyway). Instead, they’re the perfect little beauty pick-me-ups that will brighten her look and her day. Impress her with something from NYC-cool brand Glossier, like the Ultralip High Shine Lipstick. Combining the best bits of a gloss, tint and balm, it blends like an absolute dream and cannot be messed up. Speaking of hybrid products, the bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Liquid Blonzer rolls her cheek routine into one luminous step, while MECCA COSMETICA’s In a Good Light Illuminating Drops boast skincare and a radiant finish. Finally, I guarantee she’s considered replacing her current makeup brushes – and will appreciate you doing it for her with the Morphe Eye Want It All 7-Piece Eye Brush Set.
Mums want gifts they’ll actually use, but you can go one better with something that also feels indulgent – like the Strawberry Vitamin B5 Hydrating Bar from NYC brand MALIN+GOETZ. It includes hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5 and shea butter to keep skin smooth and supple. Or, gift Frank Body’s Glycolic Body Scrub – it‘s formulated like the skincare she uses on her face and is a MECCA favourite for transforming dry, bumpy skin with little effort. And finally, the beauty essential she didn’t know she needed: LOVEBYT’s ultra-fresh Peppermint Botanical Toothpaste, housed in chic packaging she’ll want to keep on display.
