I clearly remember the first time I stepped foot in front of a Clinique counter at my local mall. During each mall trip, I'd walk through Macy's with my mom, land at the glass counter with the large 'C' display and gaze at the rows of floral-embossed makeup bags.
For years, Clinique has been a favorite beauty brand among many. Whether you're a 40-something-year-old mom or a 13-year-old girl (as I was) purchasing her first mascara, it's a brand that's unbeatable for sensitive skin and for providing a natural glam finish.
There's still time to pick up Clinique's Spring Gift for mom, too.. Enjoy a 10-piece gift free with an eligible $85 order (worth up to $204) until May 4.

So, this Mother's Day, it's only natural for me to suggest the top gifts for Mother's Day to consider from Clinique.
Ahead, find all of the Clinique gifts that mom will adore this Mother's Day. After reviewing hundreds of products as a beauty editor, the below are all top-tier suggestions to snag before May 11.
Clinique
Clinique's Almost Lipstick in Black Honey is a cult-favorite lip product that offers a sheer, glossy tint with a natural finish to enhance your lips' natural color. Its deep burgundy hue in the tube transforms into a universally flattering berry shade upon application, making it suitable for all skin tones.
Namely, this lightweight, moisturizing balm-lipstick hybrid provides a subtle, just-bitten look and is easy to apply without the need for a mirror.
Clinique
One of my favorite moisturizers, revealed. Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion+ is a dermatologist-developed moisturizer designed for dry to dry-combination skin, which is ideal for my skin type. Its lightweight, silky texture absorbs quickly, providing 8-hour hydration, thanks to its formulation containing glycerin.
It's formulated with hyaluronic acid — the ingredient widely proven to add suppleness and hydration to the skin — along with a blend of barley, sunflower and cucumber. With its ingredient mix, it delivers a healthy-looking glow that's 100% fragrance-free.
Clinique
Is it me, or is every mom obsessed with eye creams these days? Grab the Clinique Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream. It's a dermatologist-developed formula designed to strengthen and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes, and one of the best I tested.
It's powered by the brand's proprietary CL1870 Peptide Complex and hyaluronic acid to hydrate and smooth fine lines. It also visibly de-puffs the eye area.
Amazon
Clinique's Take The Day Off Makeup Remover for Lids, Lashes & Lips is an *amazing* product designed to gently and effectively remove makeup from the eyes and lips. Its non-irritating, non-stinging formula dissolves even long-wearing and waterproof makeup without tugging, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and clean. It's ophthalmologist-tested and is excellent for sensitive eyes, especially.
Amazon
There's something about gifting someone you love a lipstick shade that'll soon become their new favorite. For that reason, I recommend the Clinique Pop Longwear Lipstick.
It offers long-lasting, full-coverage color in three finishes: Satin, Matte and Shine. Infused with a built-in primer, it ensures smooth application and comfortable wear, delivering ultra-pigmented color that lasts up to 8 hours without fading. This lipstick is also allergy-tested, 100% fragrance-free and with a lovely finish.
Clinique
Clinique Happy Eau de Parfum Spray is a vibrant and uplifting fragrance that combines fresh citrus notes with a rich floral heart. It's a scent that mom will adore — with a bottle that's simple and pure.
Clinique
To celebrate the advent of summer drawing near, the Clinique Sunny Day Staples Set will make mom's day. Inside, she'll receive the brand's Moisture Surge Face Spray to replenish her skin, the Superdefense City Block Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Face Sunscreen for all-day protection, a lip gloss and a contour stick — all encased in a gorgeous carry-all makeup case. Yes, yes, yes and yes.
Clinique
Another gift set that'll allow mom to sample a smorgasbord of Clinique is its Clinique Makeup MVPs. For less than $50, it contains the Take the Day Off Makeup Remover, an eyeliner, lip product and mascara that are all revolutionary.
