My mom [38f] stole a makeup set that my boyfriend [17m] gave me [16f]. She is convinced it is hers and I don't know what to do?

I'm sorry for any mistakes, I'm really mad and upset rn and I may not be thinking straight.

I've never really had good makeup. I usually get by okay with the cheap dollar store stuff, but Ive never really had anything "good". I mentioned it once to my boyfriend (of 5 months), not because I expected him to do anything about it, I was just talking in general.

My sweetheart of a boyfriend remembered that and a few days ago he randomly handed me a box with an absolutely amazing makeup set in it. it retails for something like $300 and I almost didn't want to take it because it seemed like too much. But my boyfriend just seemed happy I liked it and convinced me to take it.

I got to try it twice. The day I got it I tore into it as soon as I got home and tried some looks. I got to wear it one other time last weekend when I went on a date with the boyfriend and I got all dolled up for it.

I intended to wear it last night for the same reason, but I went into the bathroom and opened the cabinet and my makeup set was gone! At first I immediately called my sister since we share the bathroom and I asked her where she put my makeup, but she told me she didn't touch it.

After searching all over I still couldn't find it and asked my mom if she had seen a makeup set. She immediately told me she found one in my bathroom and took it "back" to hers. I asked her why she took my makeup set and she looked confused and told me it was hers.

I tried to tell her "No, it was mine, Brian bought it for me." But mom shook her head and said something like "No 17 year old boy is buying something like that, it must be mine."

I was getting upset and told her it was definitely, 100% mine and my boyfriend gave it to me, but mom just told me that whether it was or wasn't doesn't matter because I don't need it.

She ignored me the rest of the night until she went to work. I tried going to get it myself but she left her door locked.

Finally today after I woke up I went downstairs and almost lost it because I'm about 99% sure she was wearing some of my makeup, and I told her again I want it back. She told me to drop it and she doesn't want to hear about it again.

I called my boyfriend to see if he had a receipt or something and he was super mad when I told him what happened, and he offered to come over and get it back, but I told him it wasn't a good idea to get in an argument now, so he is looking for a receipt to see if it helps.

What do I do? I want my make up back! It's the first decent set I've had, and it was a gift from someone I love! I swear my mom knows I'm telling the truth but just isn't budging for some reason. If she wanted to wear some I would have shared if she just asked, why did she have to take it?!?!

TL;DR: My boyfriend bought me a super nice makeup set as a gift. My mom took it and says it is hers, even though I'm pretty sure she knows it isn't. She won't listen to me and I just want my stuff back. Help?
