The brat in me calls out to everything and I want everything….they are all so lovely! I know if my little girl were old enough to understand and can go shopping, she would get all of them for me! ;)

Meream, my mum is not into makeup and beauty products either but I still like to get her a perfume or a bath set every now and then. I’m sure your mum would appreciate that too and your bf’s mum too ;)

And thanks for the link love. :)

Clinique Star Favourites it’s really a great gift. Actually Clinique has some great gifts prepared for the holidays at some great prices. I wrote 2 posts about their special offers for Holiday Season and I really like their sets for skincare.

Tavia, I love their skincare sets too. They are a great and affordable way to try the brand’s most popular products. I haven’t tried the makeup, but their skincare products are usually well formulated and work well too.
