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.
