Heat Wave
Sunday
Mom. She sips coffee in the mug you painted for her at age six, bakes a mean pumpkin loaf, and has been having hot flashes at the most inconvenient times. She’s lovely, sure, but who knew she and her menopausal sisters were on the cutting edge of a beauty trend? Whether they were inspired by your mother’s flushed cheeks or they just really like the sassy phrase, several cosmetic companies are now jumping on the hot-flash bandwagon—and bringing us some of our favorite products. Blue Q’s Hot & Flashy line combines stunning art deco packaging with an energizing lemongrass-and-cedar scent. Not only will the name crack up your mom (making it a perfect belated Mother's Day gift); you'll love relaxing stressed muscles with the Nubby Massage Soap (blueq.com, shown) while you get ready for a wild martini-filled night with the girls. Ramy Rise & Shine Lip Gloss in Hot Flash! ($22; drugstore.com) is a sparkly bubblegum pink that plumps lips with repeat use (think visible pout pouffing in one week), while Lorac Blush/Bronzer Duo in Hot Flash ($28.50; beauty.com) brightens darker complexions for a dash of St. Tropez during springtime strolls. —Shauna Billings

    Oh my god - the packaging is ADORABLE! I ran out before brunch with my mom and got her the little gift set that had body wash, mositurizer, a pill case and (pear) lip balm! she LOVED it.
