So, whether your mum’s big on hair, skin care or home fragrances, you’re bound to discover something that she’ll love.

Scroll through the gallery below for the lowdown on each product, and get set to tick ‘Mother’s Day present’ off your to-do list…


Peppermint Grove Patchouli & Bergamot Candle

We say: Handmade in Australia using soy wax, Peppermint Grove Patchouli & Bergamot Candle is a must-have for mothers who love scented candles. Poured in a highly polished glass featuring a polished silver lid, it’s hedonistic fragrance includes top notes of bergamot and mandarin orange; middle notes of gardenia, jasmine and vetiver; and a base note of patchouli.

You say: “Initially when I first opened the candle the scent was strong, but once it was burning it was surprisingly subtle with a little jasmine thrown in. The burn time was surprisingly long, after about 3-4 hours of continuous use only the smallest amount had been used up. I love the shiny silver lid.” – beautyheaven member 2663anne

Mukti 2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant

We say: Mukti 2-in-1 Resurfacing Exfoliant is an anti-ageing facial exfoliant that works to remove dead skin cells, allow new cells to surface and leave the skin looking renewed, refined and refreshed. Formulated with a combination of mechanical exfoliants ( jojoba floraspeheres and bamboo stem) and chemical exfoliants (bioactive, native Australian AHAs), it will help to support your mum’s skin’s collagen production and improve her skin’s texture for a more even, younger-looking complexion.

You say: “The scent reminded me of my morning green juice and the jojoba and bamboo granules are quite fine, providing a nice, mild exfoliant. I was amazed by how soft and smooth my skin felt after just one use.” – beautyheaven member PrettyPrincess

Schwarzkopf Extra Care 6 Miracles Oil Essence

We say: Schwarzkopf Extra Care 6 Miracles Oil Essence is a hair oil treatment that has been designed to soften and condition hair, while protecting it from heat damage and promoting silkiness and shine. Your mum is sure to adore the blend of four oils, including pequi, maula, monoi and argan oils, which work together to provide #nextlevel nourishment.

You say: “The packaging says this can be used for heat protection, total repair, to reduce split ends, soften hair, improve frizz and enhance shine. I agree that it does all this and makes my hair look a lot healthier and smoother. It has a gorgeous vanilla scent which I love!” – beautyheaven member Beauty Obsession

Dermatonics® Revitalising Eye Cream

We say: Suitable for all skin types (including your mum’s), Dermatonics® Revitalising Eye Cream aims to visibly reduce the appearance of dark circles. The formula is enriched with antioxidant-rich Nutridermacueticals™ to help reduce wrinkles and crow’s feet and revitalise the delicate eye area. It also helps to boost the skin’s hydration levels, for a more radiant appearance.

You say: “Having used it for barely a week there is already a visible difference to my eye area, with fine lines disappearing. The whole under eye area is looking much healthier as well. My black circles come and go, so it’s been harder to assess the cream’s impact on them. The size of the tube is really quite large and given the [small] amount of product required, it’s going to last a LONG time.” – beautyheaven member Dilettante
