“I can’t remember an important day in my mom’s life without her best friend, Marita, by her side. They’ve known each other since they were three years old, meaning I grew up having her around all the time. I call her tía because that’s what she is to me: family. I remember she would always complain about her flat hair and how excited she got when curlers started to be a thing. That’s why I’ll be giving her the Beachwaver Co. S1 Dual Voltage because she wouldn’t be caught dead going out without her perfect waves. And just because she’s the coolest aunt ever, she deserves a second gift! I absolutely love Peter Thomas Roth products, especially their masks. For a little pampering, I will also gift her the Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Mask Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Mask because not only is it the best treatment for fine lines and wrinkles, but the gold component makes your skin look ultra-hydrated and luminous. I’m sure she’ll be over the moon!”

“Everyone has a beauty routine. Whether it’s getting extra dolled up for a night out on the town or perfecting the five-minute “natural” look for work, the trick lies within your makeup pouch, right? Not for me. Growing up, my mom taught me that the finishing touch was not with a perfectly winged liner but with a spritz of perfume. That’s why I’m gifting my mother, Piedad, the Chloé Eau de Parfum this Mother’s Day so that she can top off her look with a whiff of elegance. Along with the fragrance, I’m also gifting her Lancôme’s Rénergie Lift Multi-Action Lifting & Firming Starter Kit because she ingrained within me the importance of taking care of your skin at any age. It’s never too early (or late!) to lift and firm and always be #selfie-ready!”

“As my only aunt (and my mom's best friend), my tía Violeta has played an important role in my life. She was actually the one that introduced me to beauty and shared with me all of her secrets. This is why on her special day I want to give her two gifts I know she will love. First, the Jimmy Choo Floral Eau de Toilette fragrance. My aunt's name in Spanish means 'violet' therefore she's always had a passion for everything related to flowers, and floral scents happen to be her personal favorite. This is why I know she will be obsessed with this fragrance! Secondly the weather in Venezuela tends to be very dry causing skin to lose its moisture. My aunt was the one who showed me that using moisturizer on a daily basis is key to avoiding dry skin. I love Kiehl's and absolutely trust the brand. This is why the Kiehl’s Hello Hydration Skincare Set is the perfect gift! It has everything from the hydrating toner to the cleanser, and it even has an avocado eye cream, which I know my tía will love. She has always said avocado is the best natural ingredient you can find in any beauty product!”
