A (Very Last Minute) Valentine’s Day Gift GuideValentine’s Day is somehow suddenly right
A (Very Last Minute) Valentine’s Day Gift GuideValentine’s Day is somehow suddenly right around the corner and I don’t know about you but my heart always beats a little quicker when I think about Valentine’s Day. A day celebrating love? What’s not to love? And before all you single as a pringle people start hating on Valentine’s Day, stop it, I was single for 21 of my 23 Vdays and honestly, it’s more fun to be single on Valentine’s Day. You can go for dinner and watch rom-coms with your girlfriends all while pigging out on as much chocolate and ice cream as you want without an annoying significant other lingering around. Sorry boys. So here is a Valentine’s Day gift guide combined with Valentine’s Day makeup essentials combined with just things I’ve been loving lately. So, this post ain’t just for people in a relationship. This post is for ALLL the girls and boys! You’re welcome. Also if anyone wants to get me a Vday prezzie, I accept lipsticks and chocolate. Thank you v much. Joe Fresh Flocked Blending SpongeThese “flocked” (read: fuzzy) beauty blender sponges have been all the rage ever since NikkieTutorials did a video all about the Juno & Co sponges and proclaimed them better than the infamous Beauty Blender sponges. And in my humble opinion, I agree that they are better. The flocked texture on the sponge gives the most beautiful, natural airbrushed finish on the skin. And this one from Superstore was under $5! Such a steal!Clinique Blushing Blush Powder Blush in #106 Berry DelightA pretty blush is always a must have to wear on Valentine’s Day. To me, a flush of pink on the cheeks is just so girly and romantic. And these blushes from Clinique are some of my all time favorites. They come in such gorgeous colours and they have a hint of shimmer in them to give the skin the most gorgeous luminous glow. Dior Ultra Rouge Lipstick in #999 and Dior Rouge Ink Lip Liner in #99What is the one makeup item you think of when you think of Valentine’s Day? A red lip? Yes, yes you are right. It should be the universal uniform to wear a red lipstick on Valentine’s Day and I’m pretty sure I’ve done just that for the past dozen Vdays. One of my all-time favorite red lipsticks is the Dior Ultra Rouge lipsticks in #999. It’s their classic, beloved red shade and it flatters every single skin tone. Don’t believe me? Go try it for yourself. And the new liquid lip liner in #999 is the ultimate match for the lipstick. A liquid lip liner you say? Yes. It’s game changing except they do dry out rather fast but nobody’s perfect.Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Eau de ParfumFor all you clueless boys out there, perfume is always a classic, go-to Valentine’s Day gift that is sure to please your gal. However, it might seem stressful to go into a store and try to pick one among the thousand different bottles. If you don’t already know which one your girl likes, I would suggest going with a sweet scent like the Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire EDP. This one isn’t too sweet, nor is it too heavy. It’s just a pretty fragrance. Wow, I described that great. You’re welcome.YSL Mon Paris Eau de ParfumIf you want an even sweeter fragrance, that is where the YSL Mon Paris EDP comes in. It has notes of musk, strawberry and raspberry resulting in this sweet, fruity mixture. To me, this is the ultimate Valentine’s Day perfume. Plus the name by itself just screams love because after all, Paris is the city of love. Lush Love Boat Bath BombI have been on a total bath bomb kick lately. Nothing relaxes me more than a sweet smelling, hot, bubbly bath. And Lush came out with the cutest bath bombs just in time for the big day. In addition to their peach and eggplant emoji bath bombs that I’m sure you’ve seen all over social media, they also have this limited edition Love Boat bath bomb. In my opinion, it’s not as cute as the emoji ones but I love how it smells. With a powdery sweet lemon-orange scent, I’m about to start taking a lot more baths, y’all.YSL Rouge Volupté Shine Oil in Stick #15 Corail SpontiniI have been on a makeup no-buy for the past couple of years because I have way too much makeup but when I spotted this limited edition YSL lipstick, I knew I had to make an exception to my rule. The packaging just captured my heart. The classic gold tube is decorated with little pink hearts for Valentine’s Day. It’s too cute. Plus the coral-pink shade is absolutely gorgeous and is so flattering on my super pale skin. Boys, please get this for your girls. It will be the best thing you ever did in the relationship. And girls, if you’re single or your boyfriend is just dense, buy this for yourself because you deserve to treat yo’self. -- source link
