10 Mother's Day gifts for the mum that's just as obsessed with beauty as you are
As beauty lovers, there's only one thing we love more than indulging ourselves and shopping everything on our beauty wishlists.
It's doing the same thing for our mums. Because yes, they love all things skin care, makeup, fragrance and hair related just as much as we do.
So if you're on the hunt for something truly special that fits into one of the aforementioned categories, look no further. Ahead you'll find BEAUTYcrew's curation of mother's day beauty gifts.

After an experiential gift? These are the best facials in Sydney, handpicked by the BEAUTYcrew Team.
Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
