Beauty and fashion splurge for mom

From indulgent self-care treats to stylish everyday essentials, beauty and fashion gifts remain among the easiest ways to make Mother’s Day feel extra special. Whether it’s skincare for a relaxing reset, fragrances that leave a lasting impression, or accessories that combine style and practicality, these last-minute finds offer thoughtful ways to spoil mom before the weekend ends.

For moms who enjoy a little pampering at home, Rustan Marketing Corporation’s beauty lineup includes skincare staples from Filorga such as Optim-Eyes, Meso-Mask, and NCEF-Revitalize Serum, designed to refresh tired-looking skin and restore radiance. Nail care brand OPI also introduces its Spring 2026 Collection, featuring updated takes on the label’s signature shades in Nail Lacquer and Infinite Shine finishes.

Fragrance remains a classic Mo­ther’s Day choice, with scents suited to different personalities and moods. Givenchy Irresistible Nectar Eau de Parfum blends rose, neroli, pistachio, and vanilla-wood notes for a warm floral finish, while Maison Margiela Replica Sailing Day Eau de Toilette captures fresh sea breeze and coastal notes. Other options include Lacoste Original Femme Eau de Parfum and Van Cleef & Arpels Gardénia Pétale Eau de Parfum for moms who prefer softer, classic florals.

Everyday essentials also get a stylish upgrade with pieces designed for comfort and practicality. Footwear label Easy Spirit adds versatility with the Hadiya Block Heel Sandals, designed with cushioned insoles and arch support for all-day use.

For moms constantly on the go, travel and lifestyle accessories combine function with style. Samsonite introduces the Paralux Spinner collection with modular packing cubes and dual-access openings, while American Tourister offers the colorful Frontec Spinner range. The High Sierra Camille Backpack provides a sleek option for work and casual outings, while Anne Klein rounds out the list with its Purple Mother of Pearl Oval Gemstone Ring Watch.

For moms who appreciate bath and body rituals, Lush Philippines has released its 2026 botanical-inspired Mother’s Day collection featuring handmade bath bombs, soaps, body care products, and gift sets. Highlights include the Mama Bear and Atom Heart Mother bath bombs, the peach-and-rose scented Hugs body lotion, and the Yummy Custard body wash made with vanilla-infused oat milk. Gift-ready bundles such as the Happy Mother’s Day gift set and reusable Knot Wraps add an eco-conscious touch to the collection’s floral and nature-inspired theme.

For a more premium beauty splurge, Dyson Philippines unveils the limited-edition Ceramic Apricot and Topaz colorway for the Dyson Airwrap Co-anda 2x multi-styler and dryer. Inspired by the warm tones of the summer solstice, the new palette combines apricot blush, mandarin orange, and metallic gold accents. Powered by Dyson’s Hyperdymium 2 motor, the multi-styler offers six styling functions — dry, curl, wave, straighten, smooth, and volumize — while designed to avoid heat damage.
