Got a mum who's obsessed with beauty? She'll adore these Mother's Day gifts
A mutual interest you can use to your advantage
If you've ever had the good fortune of being a child of a mum who's as equally obsessed with beauty products as you are, then you know holidays and special days like birthdays and Mother's Day always have the potential to be a lot of fun.
Mostly because it means you have the opportunity to rifle through some of the more involved and elaborate beauty purchases on the shelves of your favourite retailers in preparation for said gift-giving. But it also offers up a rare opportunity to witness your mother in a genuine state of childlike glee, as she rips open a skin care gift set that includes some of her most beloved products, or picks she's been dying to try for ages.

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).
