Valentine's Gift Ideas

Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Here are some gift ideas that will last a bit longer than the expected 'chocolate and roses'.

I've picked 10 gift items that are pretty universal & will melt any beauty lovers heart. For more info on products or to purchase, click on the photos.
​

1. Too Faced Chocolate Bar Palette  $49

This Chocolate Bar palette is divine. It has been around for some time now & if she doesn't already own, she definitely needs it. The packaging is too cute, looks like a chocolate bar & smells exactly like chocolate! Caution: not edible. The Chocolate Bar palette holds 16 colors - a combination of matte & shimmers in neutrals, darks & a pop of color. This is great palette for anyone who likes to play up the eyes. 
​

2. Anastasia Beverly Hills Glow Kit  $40

ABH - short for 'Anastasia Beverly Hills' has definitely been stepping it up in the cosmetic world. She recently came out with these glow kits that are ahhh-mazing. The glow kits come in two sets, gleam *not pictured* & that glow *see photo*.
​

3. Marc Jacobs Under(cover) Perfecting Coconut Face Primer  $44

I've been using this primer for the last few months & this is currently my favorite. During the winter my skin type goes from normal/combination to normal/DRY. This primer is extremely hydrating to those with dry skin. It’s enriched with concentrated coconut extracts which form a natural, vitamin-rich barrier between your skin and makeup. It's a little pricey, but a little does goes a long way.
​

4. Beauty Blender gift set  $40

I swear by this cute pink egg. This is no ordinary sponge - it's an edgeless, non-disposable high definition cosmetic sponge. It makes applying face makeup a piece of cake & end results are flawless. Sephora.com is currently having an online deal for 2 sponges + liquid cleanser for $40. Each sponge separately is $20. This is an awesome deal. You're basically getting the cleanser for free.
​

5. Diptyque Candles  $32+

Scented candles always make the best gifts. Diptyque candles are one my favorites. Check out the limited edition (perfect for Valentine's Day) candle called 'ROSAVIOLA' notes - bergamot, lychee, rose, cedar, musks
​

6. Laura Mercier Almond Coconut Milk Soufflé Body Creme $60

For all the coconut lovers.. this is a must! I own the scrub & the body crème & they smell so good. If your girl likes a sweeter scent, the crème brulee is also lovely.

7. Buxom Full-On Lip Polish  $19

Buxom's bestselling lipgloss is known for its lip plumping effect. It will leave your babe with luscious, kissable lips. There are 100 lip colors to choose from. I love the lip polish collection because they have buxom babe names such as Ashley, Dolly, Katie, Samantha, Sugar, Zoe, etc. If you can find your babes name, this will make an extra special gift. You can find Buxom at your local Sephora, Sephora.com & Ulta - coming soon late Feb.

8. Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Camera $80-$100

Life is all about making memories & this is the perfect gadget to capture those great moments. The instax mini 8 comes in a variety of colors.

9. Elizabeth and James Nirvana - Black / White Roller ball $25

Black - Violet. Sandalwood. Vanilla. (Style// Sensual. Mysterious. Warm)
​White - Peony. Muguet. Tender Musk. (Style// Sophisticated. Feminine. Captivating)

​These roller balls are sold separately but if you can't decide I suggest you get both :) They just smell so good. They're great for traveling & to keep in your purse. If you're lady is into hair products, check out the dry shampoo. I'm obsessed. Keeps my hair smelling good for days!

10. Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs & Rosewater $12

​

A few spritz of this spray will leave you feeling like you just got out of a spa treatment. This facial spray is formulated with fragrant herbal extracts & rosewater. It's perfect for dehydrated, tight skin & is hands down one of my favorites. You can spray it in the morning & night during your skin care routine, & after you apply your makeup to set it. It comes in two sizes, 4 oz & 8 oz.
