Her loyalty to the brand continues even today, and she purchases Avon creams, makeup, fragrances, shampoos and body washes regularly. For this reason, I would choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avon.com\/product\/55316\/avon-candid-collection?setlang=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Avon\u2019s Candid Collection<\/a> as a tried and true Mother\u2019s Day gift for the most important woman in my life!<\/p>\n\n<p>This collection includes a roller deodorant, perfume, body powder and of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avon.com\/product\/39970\/candid-perfumed-skin-softener\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Candid Perfumed Skin Softener<\/a>, which is one of Avon\u2019s most well-loved products. My mom\u2019s beautiful, youthful skin can be attributed both to fabulous genes (which I hope were passed down a generation!) and the long-term effects of Avon use.<\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Body-cream-1.jpg\" alt=\"Luxurious creams and lotions are perfect Mother&#039;s Day beauty gifts.\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12994\" \/>\n\n<p>As one of the world\u2019s oldest skincare companies, Avon has built and maintained a strong reputation for high quality over many generations of women. Avon boasts several skincare lines, but its Candid line of perfumed products is known for its lovely blend of fresh jasmine, rose and sandalwood and has been around for over 25 years.<\/p>\n\n<p>For me, the packaging of the Candid products is immediately recognizable! I owe that to both Avon\u2019s consistent high quality, and my mom\u2019s excellent taste.<\/p>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ana_Toccas_%E2%80%9CCleopatra%E2%80%9D_Collection\"><\/span><i>Ana<\/i>: Tocca\u2019s \u201cCleopatra\u201d Collection<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>Growing up, Mother\u2019s Days in my household have always been filled with breakfasts in bed and homemade cards and gifts. But as an adult, handing over a folded up piece of paper decorated in glitter glue and filled with \u201cI luv u mommy\u201d may not have the same appeal as it once would. Now, I love to introduce my mom to things that she wouldn\u2019t normally purchase for herself. While she doesn\u2019t wear much makeup, once in awhile she\u2019ll indulge in a luxurious scent reserved for special occasions.<\/p>\n\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Luxury-perfume-bottle-1.jpg\" alt=\"A luxurious perfume is another good Mother&#039;s Day beauty gift\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12997\" \/>\n\n<p>I recently purchased the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sephora.com\/cleopatra-P54900?skuId=1005727&amp;icid2=brand%20content_tocca_fragrancecollection_carousel_brand:tocca_p54900_image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tocca perfume in \u201cCleopatra\u201d<\/a> after having used up a sample I received (you got me again, Sephora!). I\u2019m so happy with the versatility of this scent, and I know that it would be perfect for women of all ages\u2014including me (a 20-something) and my mother (a beautiful and lively woman in her 50s). While a 1.7 oz bottle might be out of your price range, Tocca offers a variety of sizes. If you love the scent but your mom (or sister, aunt, grandmother\u2014whatever!) isn\u2019t interested in perfume, there is also a body scrub, hand cream, hand soap, body wash, body lotion, and even a candle!  Any one of these would make a great Mother\u2019s Day gift!<\/p>\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sephora.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sephora<\/a> has to say about the scent:<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tocca-Cleopatra-Sephora-description.png\" alt=\"Sephora&#039;s description of Tocca&#039;s &quot;Cleopatra&quot; perfume\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tocca-Cleopatra-Sephora-description.png 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tocca-Cleopatra-Sephora-description-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Tocca-Cleopatra-Sephora-description-670x251.png 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alicia_LOccitanes_Verbena_Eau_de_Toilette\"><\/span><i>Alicia<\/i>: L\u2019Occitane\u2019s Verbena Eau de Toilette<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p>My mom and I share a sensitivity to perfume and some other heavily scented products\u2014a little bit of fragrance lands us both with sore throats and headaches!<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"overflow: auto\">\n\n<div class=\"half-1\">\n\n<p>L\u2019Occitane\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/ca.loccitane.com\/verbena,19,1,11525,0.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Verbena eau de toilette<\/a> is one of the rare exceptions. Its fresh, lemony scent is clean and simple compared with the floral, musky, spicy, or overly rich scents that give my mom and I headaches in other perfumes. If there was ever a perfume for her, this is the one!<\/p>\n\n<p>A L\u2019Occitane boutique opened near us a few years ago, and since then my mom has become a big fan. Her dresser is full of their skincare products, and I think there\u2019s a tube of L\u2019Occitane\u2019s hand cream in just about every room in the house! She found the Verbena EDT on one of her many trips to the store, and since then she\u2019s used many of the other products in the Verbena collection.
