This year in honor, my mom (and best friend) curated her favorite Mother’s Day beauty buys in case you needed a little help with your last minute shopping. Let me tell you, my mom knows a thing or two about beauty as she’s one of my best product testers. Growing up, she’s always taught me that less is more and at 29, somehow I’m envious of her skin!

Yep, that’s me in the pic above. As a former tanning bed addict, I cannot stress enough how important it is to protect your skin from the sun.
