The Beauty Gifts Moms Actually Want, According To Moms
And yes, every pick is under $50.
They say raising kids goes by in the blink of an eye. And as moms who also happen to be beauty editors currently living inside that blink, we can confirm: it's a lot. Beautiful, loud, messy, exhausting, joyful, overstimulating, all at once, all the time. So when it comes to beauty gifts, we need it to pull its weight.
The criteria is simple: It has to feel genuinely luxe (we will take every drop of pampering we can get, no apologies), it has to actually work (because between school drop-off and deadline season, there is no time for a 12-step anything), and it has to make us look like we have it more together than we do — like we woke up this way, ideally (we didn’t).
If you’re looking to impress the multitasking moms in your life, we’ve curated a list of eight must-have picks from Ulta Beauty (all under $50!) — chosen by beauty editors who are moms themselves and truly understand the art of what makes a beauty product worth it. Even better, these finds are available to buy online and pick up in-store in as little as two hours, making last-minute gifting easier than ever.
