Valentines days is full of chocolate, flowers and romantic dinner dates for two. But to the true beauty lover nothing could make a better gift then something from their favourite high end make up brands. I was laying in bed yesterday searching through the sephora website and saw the first thing on my list and the inspiration that I have been lacking for Months hit me. Despite being chorionicly single I had the thought 'that would be the cleverest Valentine gift'. So I composed a list of 6 must have beauty products for well under 100$ that all perfectly fit around the theme of valentines day, love, or making your self feel pretty while sitting at home with your cat.
First up is the pruduct that inspired this whole thing.
Too Face Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush - 30$
This is one of those products that I've tested at the store a billion times but have never bought my self. I don't know why I haven't though because it's practically every thing I could want in a blush. It has a slight shimmer in it that really leaves a glow and a radiance to the face. There are three shades but I personally recomended 'candy glow' I think this is the most universally flattering and not to boring but it's nothing scary either. There are three shades in the lot that could be used apart or mixed together. The best part about this though is it's perfect for valentines day because it comes in a heart shape and the name is as cute as could be.
Second we have another Too face product.
Tooface The Chocolate Bar Eye Palette - 49
This is a eye shadow pallet that is a cult favorite so you might want to make sure the beauty lover in your life hasn't got it already. This pallet flew off shelves because the colour pay off is fantastic and has a perfect blend of neutral colours with little workable pops of colours. This is a wonderful alternative to a normal box of chocolate. Not only is it named chocolate bar but the lid looks like one and when you open it, it always smells like chocolate which is somthing else that makes this product unique.
This third one is probably only for certain people.
MAKE UP FOR EVER
Give In To Me Makeup Kit - 79$
This is a beautiful make up set by make up forever. It has, a wonderful creamy, rosy, nude lipstick that has quickly became a favorite of mine, a great sheer, pink toned lipgloss with fine sparkles, one of there most popular products, a felt tip eyeliner, a mascara that admittedly is not my favourite but it's a solid usable mascara, and finally a amazing four eyeshadow palette. These are the perfect colours to do multiple eye looks, the amount you get is huge and they are amazing! This is a make up set inspired by fifty shades of grey and the make up ana would wear in the movie. I love this and if your valentine is a fan of the movie, or a little kinky this is perfect. The box it comes in has some quotes from the movie and a little epmty compartment to add any other surprises.... Or just for them to store more make up.
FRESH
Sugar Rosé Extreme Lip Treatment SPF 15 - 22.50$
This is a tinted red lip balm . It's creamy smooth and made of great ingredients. This will only give a wash of red color to the lips but sometimes that's all you need. This will potect you lips from the sun, hydrate them and give a little extra something to the look. Instead of fresh cut roses you can give her rose by fresh. This product is great because when you give sugar to your sugar you don't have to worry about tasting it because it's made with sugar and tastes of sugar (kinda).
This is great if your looking to give your valentine a perfume this year.
PRADA Candy fragrance Gift Set - 88
This is a massively popular scent that is sultry, and sexy but sharp and sweet at the same time. This is a great one because around this time of year it comes in a heart shaped box that looks like a candy box but it has a bottle of perfume and moisturiser in the same scent.
For the girl with a sense of humour.
Nars blush in Deep throat - 30$
This is personally one of my favourite blushes. The color is perfect to me and great for any one with a light to medum skin ton. It has the perfect amount of shimmer and is a little more cool toned. Almost every one has their massively popular 'orgasm' but I feel this is over looked and amazing also. The elephant in the room is this sexual, crude and frankly brilliant name. But if your Valentine has a great sense of humour, then go for it at your own risk. And who knows if they likes the blush it could come full circle...
Now that I've made plenty of puns, I hope this helps and these are great gifts all year round for loved ones or a gift for your self. All of these can be purchased at sephora and some at ulta.
