Straight from the source
Looking for the perfect gift for mum this Mother’s Day? We’ve gone straight to the source to bring you the best mum-approved gift guide.
If there is one person who deserves her flowers, it’s mum. That said, flowers are cliché and hardly convey the full scope of appreciation and gratitude she deserves—after all, she did give birth to you, right?
So, what else is there? Sure, chocolates are nice, but if you really want to show mum how much you care, a great, big, luxurious beauty haul will probably say all the things she needs to hear. This Mother’s Day, we’ve curated the ultimate beauty gift guide for your mum, and to make sure it’s foolproof, Team BURO is bringing in the big guns: input from our own mothers.
Below, find out what and where to shop for mum in our Mother’s Day beauty edit:
La Prairie White Caviar Light Concentrate Facial 50ml, RM3,280
The latest to join La Prairie’s indulgent facial treatment menu is the White Caviar Light Concentrate facial—a 45-minute experience targeting the signs of premature ageing.
“I had the most blissful facial at La Prairie’s TRX boutique. For a start, the room was absolutely plush, complete with comfortable bedding and top-notch ambience. Before the treatment even began, I was already feeling completely pampered. Really, with just the setup itself, whatever they had slapped on me would have felt luxurious. Fortunately, thanks to my knowledgeable and friendly therapist, I can confirm that the treatment was, in fact, both exquisite and efficacious.
“The treatment began with the Supreme Balm Cleanser which left my skin feeling clean but not tight. Next, I was treated to the Toner Cellular Refining Lotion—a slightly astringent but non-stripping step that refreshed my skin without compromising my moisture barrier. Then came three rounds of absolute indulgence. Round one featured the White Caviar Essence Extraordinaire, White Caviar Illuminating Pearl Infusion Serum, and a face mask. The second featured the same essence and serum, followed by the White Caviar Light Concentrate. The third round repeated the same steps with the addition of the White Caviar Eye Extraordinaire Illuminating Eye Cream to revitalise my eye area as well as a pampering face, neck and arm massage. Each round essentially served to firm, hydrate and smooth my skin, with the highlight for me being the concentrate. Not only did it make me feel younger by years, but it had me looking the part too!
“Overall, I left feeling and looking refreshed. Honestly, I never thought I’d ever use ‘refined’ to describe my complexion, but my skin really did look smoother and more refined right after the treatment. If you love your mum, do as my daughter did and send her straight to a La Prairie facial this Mother’s Day!” — Mama Nana, Beauty Editor Redzhanna’s Mum
Facials can be booked at the La Prairie Boutique in The Exchange, TRX, Isetan The Gardens Mall, Isetan KLCC, and Parkson Pavilion.
Premier Cru the Eye Cream, RM295
Harnessing the research of the Caudalie x Harvard Longevity Patent, the Premier Cru range is designed to prolong the skin’s natural youth. Packed with longevity-focused actives like grape-derived vine resveratrol and brightening pearlisers, this eye cream works over time to reveal younger-looking peepers over time.
“First of all, the built-in applicator is such a plus point. It’s nice and cooling, which is perfect for depuffing my eye area every morning. The cream itself has such a nice, hydrating texture that is easy to spread. I use it before bed, and when I wake up in the morning, my skin feels so plump and soft—the difference is like night and day! It’s so convenient to use, and I guarantee your mum will be happy to receive this for Mother’s Day (just like me!).” — Mama Ann, Lifestyle Editor Amanda’s Mum
La Mer Night Recovery Concentrate, RM3,280
This serum-in-mask is infused with Concentrated Miracle Broth™, formulated to deliver an adaptogenic effect to help your skin build resilience against stressors and recover more quickly from sensitivities. The “extreme barrier wrap” provides a protective cushion to your skin that defends against stressors all day, with every use.
“This is excellent. I love the gel-like consistency—not only does it glide smoothly over my skin, but it also absorbs instantaneously. Seriously, however thick I apply it, there is immediate absorption and no greasy residue film left on my skin. It’s the perfect cream to slap on anywhere, anytime, whether I’m running out to exercise or I’m going about my day. It has become one of my favourite go-to creams, and I’m sure your mum would love to use it too!” — Mama Nana, Beauty Editor Redzhanna’s Mum
Clinique Even Better Clinical™ Dark Spot Clearing Serum, RM300
The fourth generation of the brand’s #1 brightening serum has finally landed, and it lives up to its ambitious name. Formulated with dermatologists, the serum harnesses its proprietary molecule UP302 and pure niacinamide, balancing its potent brightening actives with soothing ones. Overall, it has been clinically proven to target dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), uneven tone, sallowness, dullness, and pores to deliver brighter-looking skin.
“This serum is just right—not too watery, not too thick and with no unpleasant or overpowering fragrance. I love that it’s so easy to apply and how comfortable it feels on the skin (it absorbs so well and leaves no sticky residue!). I have found that it preps my skin well for my moisturisers and creams, and helps to brighten my complexion. If your mum is also struggling with dark spots and hyperpigmentation, I am sure that she will love this serum.” — Mama Katherine, Editor-in-Chief Jason’s Mum
Shiseido Ultimune Power Infusing Serum, RM495
Backed by 30 years of research, the newest iteration of Shiseido’s iconic Ultimune Serum is a breakthrough in slow ageing. Combining cutting-edge biotechnology with the new skin-strengthening and regeneration-boosting Power Fermented Camellia+, the serum promises to slow and reverse the clock on your skin.
“There are many things to love about this serum—the lightweight texture is easily absorbed, the formulation is super nourishing, and the packaging looks great on my makeup table. However, what I love the most is how it has changed my skin. To me, I feel like it has really brightened my complexion and made it look radiant. If your mum is looking for a new anti-ageing staple, she will really love this serum.” — Mama Ann, Lifestyle Editor Amanda’s Mum
