Due to its propensity for cheesiness, Valentine’s Day often gets a bad rap. If you’ve had it with gooey chocolates and oversized teddy bears, we feel you. But that’s not to say we can’t use the holiday as an excuse to indulge. Let February 14 be the day you pamper yourself with a bubble bath, a lavish lip gloss, or a fancy floral fragrance. Below are seven beauty buys guaranteed to delight friends, lovers, and — most importantly — you.
Best Valentine s day beauty products
Voluspa Prosecco Rose infuser
No products found.
Champagne and roses are nice, but they only last so long. The Voluspa Prosecco Rose infuser ($34) fills any room with similar sensorial bliss for a full four to six months (and looks pretty, too).
Damascena Candle
No products found.
Diptyque is always delightful, but this limited edition Damascena Candle ($72) has a particularly fun flair. The tangerine and fuchsia colour combination plays beautifully with its uplifting, rosy scent.
Oskia Rose de Mai Body Oil Candle
No products found.
If you’re a fan of delicate floral fragrances, consider lighting up the Oskia Rose de Mai Body Oil Candle ($60). Once melted, the wax transforms into a soothing body oil that you can pour onto tired skin. Not only will you smell like a posie, but the lipid-rich coconut and beeswax formula will leave your skin feeling significantly more supple.
Philosophy Unconditional Love formula
No products found.
There are few self-care rituals more sensual than a bubble bath (even if you’re bathing solo). The Philosophy Unconditional Love formula ($26) transforms your tub into a swirl of warm vanilla and white florals that are bound to make you feel warm and fuzzy — regardless of your relationship status.
Heart Melter Lip Gloss Stick
No products found.
Sephora’s® cheeky K-beauty brand, Kaja®, delivers Valentine’s Day charm with its Heart Melter Lip Gloss Stick ($17). Adorable packaging and cutesy names aside, the oil-based formula soothes dry lips and imparts a flattering glossy finish in its wake. There are six shades to choose from, but we’re particularly fond of the pictured rosy hue, “Be Mine.”
BYREDO Valentine’s Day Leather Travel Perfume Case
No products found.
One gift that says “I love you” loud and clear: BYREDO Valentine’s Day Leather Travel Perfume Case ($120). The embossed vessel holds 7.5ML fragrances, making it perfect for storing those smaller spritzers rolling around at the bottom of your suitcase. If you’re lusting after one of the brand’s own scents, consider splurging on la Sélection Valentine ($220), a smattering of BYREDO fragrances specially selected for the holiday and sized to fit the case.
Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara
No products found.
The cult classic Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara gets a makeover with this Limited Edition Diamonds rendition ($24). Fans, don’t fret: the formula delivers the same inky, volume-enhancing excellence — just with a touch of giftable glitz.
