Not sure about you, but I’m going all out for Mother’s Day this year. A bag overflowing with beauty products destined for my mom is currently sitting in a corner of my apartment, and I’ve been adding to it whenever I see something she might like — candles, eye masks, a hair curler, anything’s on the table. (Or rather, already in the bag.) Though don’t worry if you’re stuck on what to get any mom in your life. While you know she’d probably love anything, keep scrolling to shop seven Mother’s Day beauty gift ideas, all under $100.

OSEA Undaria Algae Body Oil - $48

A so-so body oil can make your skin feel a bit more hydrated and look way glossier. A great body oil will make you feel like you just stepped out of a spa’s sauna room, wrapped in a fluffy bathrobe after a full-body treatment. OSEA’s falls into the latter. Naturally protective oils wrap skin up in a silky, soft layer, while lime and grapefruit peel oil will let mom skip the perfume.

Christian Louboutin Les Yeux Noirs Lash Amplifying Lacquer - $70

A $70 mascara is pure indulgence, but if it’s a product you know mom will never buy for herself, it’s the right choice. The formula really does deliver, too — it makes each and every lash look longer and more defined, never clumpy or spidery. Plus, it feels like you aren’t wearing mascara at all, a major bonus for sensitive eyes.

Emilie Heathe Macaron Nail Polish - $28

Mom doesn’t have to be a pro to enjoy this nail polish — the brush is slender and actually flexible, so mistakes are less likely to happen. Better yet, the milky blush formula adds a touch of natural pink color to nails after one coat, and can be layered up to a sheer pastel. Add in a top coat and long-wearing, chip-free manicures are really possible.

Homebody Amethyst + Alchemist Pearlescent CBD Bath Soak - $42

Created with biodegradable glitter, this vegan and cruelty-free soak turns your tub into a shimmering, swirling bath straight from a fairytale book. It’s fragranced with French lavender — ergo that light purple color — but vetiver, mint, sage, and thyme keep things interesting (yet still peaceful).

Crabtree & Evelyn Herb Candle - $28

What’s the only thing better than a soy wax candle that smells like basil, neroli, and amber? One that comes packaged in plantable eco-paper scattered with sweet basil seeds that can be planted as soon as you open it up.

Mad Hippie Antioxidant Facial Oil - $24.99

Instead of gifting moisturizer, cleanser, or a serum, wrap up something that can be added on top of any routine, like a face oil. This clean, affordable, and highly rated pick from Mad Hippie zeroes in on antioxidants above all else, though it uses so many different ways to get there: blueberry extract, pomegranate oil, strawberry extract, and so much more.
