How is this mother’s day present for my bf’s mom?

[xJayleenx]

So I got her a butterfly shaped eyeshadow palette, 2 blushes, and one flower shaped makeup brush she is 65 by the way and uses makeup all the time

I understand you are being thoughtful and generous, but makeup is very personal. I wouldn't want anyone buying makeup for me. Get something like bath salts or bubble bath or a generic candle: vanilla scent. A scarf.

I say this because I buy particular brands and colors I like. Unless you've asked her or know what brands she uses and what colors she likes, I don't think this is the best idea. Get a bouquet of flowers. Return the makeup.

I feel the same way about makeup brushes. I use high-end painter's brushes to apply my makeup. Though what you've chosen is cute, it doesn't look practical.

It looks like something you would buy for someone your age. Avoid buying fragrances, makeup, jewelry for someone who is not your mother. I;m sure she'll smile and thank you, but may never use it because it's not what she uses for herself. And she's not your mother or your mother in law.

I don't think the gift is appropriate in general. You're his girlfriend, not his fiancee'. Right?

[xJayleenx]

Yeah im his girlfriend she loves makeup though especially blush and eyeshadow and the reason why i got her this is because all her makeup looks too old

[Screenwriter]

This is my point exactly. This is YOUR opinion and YOUR choice. I'm sure she is completely capable of refreshing her makeup herself. I was looking through my makeup and realized I needed new colors and bought some shadows and threw out some others a few months ago. Also got new lip colors in the past few weeks. But it was my choice on my time.

You might ASK her to go with you for a makeover OF YOU and ask her to have one too. That is a way to introduce the concept and see what she chooses. Maybe she's in a makeup rut, but don't push your choices onto her. I would personally be annoyed by my son's girlfriend buying me makeup. What's she saying? I don't look good in what I have? My makeup is out of style?

I'm telling you, you might be putting your foot in it. Good luck, though.

Last year I got her blush too and she loved it. I asked my boyfriend before buying her anything apparently she doesn’t care much for lipstick but she is crazy about blush she used a lot of that. I like buying women stuff and being creative with it lol

[xJayleenx]

They call me daughter in law but im not that yet

[Screenwriter]

OK. Sounds like she'll appreciate what you get her... Everybody's different. Just didn't want. you to get yourself in trouble! Kisses and all!.

[xJayleenx]

Thank you :)

[Emogirl999]

That's really nice. I'm terrible with gifts so I just got my mom and my bfs mom a nice box of handmade chocolates each and on mothers day my boyfriend and I are taking our moms out for lunch.

[xJayleenx]

Aww that sounds great

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

It looks like a very good Mother's Day present, I miss giving my Mom a present for Mother's Day one time I cooked outside on a grill dinner for her and she cried that was my present to her it almost made me cry still does

[xJayleenx]

Aww that was so sweet I’m sure that she was proud to have you as a son

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@xjayleenx Yeah she was I stood beside her to the day she was so sick and needed an ambulance and that was the end of 14 days total in 2 Hospital stays and in a Nursing Home and she passed.

[xJayleenx]

Im so sorry

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@xjayleenx Thank you

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks for Most Helpful Guy :)

[Sevenpointfive]

she's 65? that's almost as old as my mother and i'm way older than him. anyway, if she likes makeup as much as you do it should be fine.

[xJayleenx]

Oh yeah she had him at 40 and my boyfriend is about to turn 25 on July

[Sevenpointfive]

that's messed up bro

[Emogirl999]

I'm 22 turning 23, my mom had me when she was 39, she's turning 62 this month, my late father was 55 when I was born and would have been 78 this year.

[Sevenpointfive]

@Emogirl999 i think you got lucky. i'm not a fan of people over 40 having kids

[jennifer_bloom]

It looks gorgeous and creative but for skin care, name recognition is very important cause you want a proven product that everyone can trust - which is why brands like Lancôme or Dior are what I would buy.

[Gurdy2816]

I think she's gonna love it! Such a nice gift, I bet she is so excited to welcome you into the family :) I love the rose-shaped makeup brush, might have to buy myself one.

[AviatorTom]

Very nice, I'm sure she'll appreciate it, including the nit so subtle hint that you'd like to have her as a mother-in-law.

[dolemite89]

the fact that ur getting her a gift at all is very thoughtful i’m sure she’ll be happy

[xJayleenx]

I like getting people gifts

[Massageman]

You certainly "did your homework" insofar picking something that was rather unique AND something you reasoned she would like and appreciate. :- )

[sheikalana]

A bit too juvenile in my opinion but is a very sweet gesture.

[Anonymous]

Im not a chick but if you gave that to me I’d wear makeup lol love it

[Iron_Man]

[xJayleenx]
