Our moms wished we had picked up impeccable ironing skills, but alas, the thing that really sunk in were the beauty products they introduced us to. The editors of Total Beauty reveal which makeup, hair, or skin products their moms got them hooked on. (Still need a Mother's Day gift? Take this quiz to find the best perfume for your mom.) What about you? Did your mom turn you on to a lipstick shade or face wash you're still obsessed with?

Neutrogena Rainbath Shower & Bath Gel, $23.99

"This was a staple in our showers growing up -- likely because it could be purchased at Costco (called Price Club back then) in a 40 oz. bottle. But this remains one of the best shower gels I've ever used (though I must admit I am more of a bar soap fan). It leaves skin feeling super clean, but never totally dried out. And it has a classic, fresh scent that isn't too fruity or floral -- definitely guy friendly."

-- Kristen Oldham Giordani, Senior Editor

Lancome Definicils, $24.50

"My mom introduced me to Lancome Definicils, still my all-time favorite mascara and no. 1 beauty obsession."

-- Sarah Carrillo, Senior Associate Editor

Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, $24

"When I was 12, my mom took me to the Clinique counter and got me started on the 3-step system. I used it till I was in college ... and actually still sometimes use Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion on my face."

-- Susan Yara, Associate Editor

L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Lipcolour in Saucy Mauve, $8.95

"My mom taught me the first rule to looking pretty: wear lipstick. She always rocks pink, rosy lip shades like L'Oreal's Saucy Mauve and now I do too."

-- Molly Roemer, Associate Editor

Olay Original Active Hydrating Beauty Fluid, $11.99

"She bought me my first bottle, and then after I got hooked she made me buy it with my own allowance whenever I ran out."

-- Jane Kim, Editorial Assistant

Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion SPF 55, $39

"According to my mom, all my bad traits were from my dad's side of the family: acne, bad eyes, bunions, etc. My mom's biggest complaint though was my skin. She said I had the skin of a 40-year-old at the age of 16, thanks mom! So she introduced me to Shiseido Ultimate Sun Protection Lotion. I still use it every day and when I ran out of it while traveling in Italy I spent a ton of Euros to replenish my stash."
