Mother’s Day is this weekend and if you are still struggling to get a present I suggest you head down to John Lewis and pick out some nice champagne or chocolates. Or try the Gift Experiences called ‘smartboxes’. These are great – you can get pampering experiences, holiday experiences, and adventure and sport experiences. These might be a tad expensive for Mother’s day but you might feel like splashing out. Gift baskets are also an option if you want to splash out, most sites on the web will create baskets but you can often chose your own products to go in the basket.
I personally am a perfume fan at Mother’s Day, it is easy as my mum usually sticks to the same perfume. But if you would like a suggestion I would go for J’dore by Dior. I love this perfume, an ideal pressie.

Barry M Nail Polish, voted the ‘Best Inexpensive Nail Polish Range’ by InStyle in 2009 is a great nail polish. Grey is in this season so get onto the website or head down to your nearest Boots or Superdrug for your bottle of matt grey nail polish. Look magazine have recommended Barry M Nail polish and I am too. I think it is great, I used to stick to Rimmel but I have definitely been converted. You can get loads of colours and metallics as well. I like buying mine from a shop but I like the online store as they have more products to choose from including lipsticks and eyeshadows. I also really like the blog on their site.

On a night out I am always trying to get my eyelashes to appear longer. I have pretty long eyelashes anyway but I love how false eyelashes look. A lot of my friends use false eyelashes but I really can’t stand them.
Now Maybelline have brought a new mascara that is meant to make your eyelashes stand out just like wearing ‘falsies’.
‘Falsies Mascara’ is apparently formulated to give your eyelashes volume, boldness and the appearance of no gaps. The ‘spoon’ shaped brush fans out the lashes making your eyelashes ‘look visibly thickened’.
I’m never sure about how successfully mascara can change the shape and appearance of your eyelashes but I’m assured by a friend that this one is actually rather good.
