Mother’s Day is just around the corner, and with the holiday fast approaching I was thrilled to attend Sears’ Fall 2012 preview, and check out the some of the hot new items that are being offered this season. I never really thought of Sears as a go-to place for beauty products, but I quickly learned that they offer many different cosmetics and fragrances at low prices that make perfect gifts.

I was very surprised at how much I loved the scent of Justin Bieber Someday EDP1.7 OZ/50ML, $45.00 at sears.com. It has a light, sugary-sweet fruit scent that is addicting to women of all ages. I had previously stayed away from the fragrance when it first came out, because any product Bieber comes out with inevitably ends up in the hands of girls who use body glitter, have their hair in pigtails, and use crayons to imitate putting on lipstick. But, this scent’s energetic sweetness of juicy mandarin, pear, and wild berries; combined with flowers, vanilla and soft musk is worth a try. Also, check out the cute floral cap and super cute chain that comes with the bottle.

I love doing my nails at home. I only splurge on salon visits when I’m going somewhere really special, and don’t have the time to dedicate to painting my nails myself. Sears carries a brand called Academy of Colour, which has a line of do-it-yourself nail kits for just $8.00, that include everything you need to create a French manicure or elaborate designs.

Academy of Colour also has a line of eye collections ($8.00 at Sears), that includes an application guide so you can get a gorgeous eye makeup look.

Another perfect gift is Jasmine La Belle Gold 23pc Cosmetic Beauty Journal. This makeup collection comes with 18 shades of eyeshadow, 2 blushes, 2 foundation colors, 1 applicator, and a mirror, all for just $4.98 at Sears! The cosmetic Beauty Journal looks like a cute little clutch, and is perfect for traveling , or for on-the-go beauty.

After you buy all your makeup, why not put them in chic makeup pouches? These pouches sold at Sears for $20, are available in a set of three sizes, and already come tied with a bow. Now that’s a great gift!
