Valentines day essentials

 

 

Its that time of year again to get dolled up for Valentines whether its with your partner, night out with friends or just because you want to feel good and look nice! There are so many products out there to choose from so iv selected a few to get you in the party mood!

First off every girl wants to smell nice! Whether it be with perfumes or a body spray, there is nothing better than smelling great which also gives you a boost of confidence. The products I have chosen are all reasonably priced so there's no need to worry about burning a hole in your pocket. YAY. So lets begin!

Taylor Swift - Enchanted Wonderstruck: This body spray smells absolutely delightful but the best thing about this glorious sent is its only £10! Yes I'm serious, only £10 to smell great and its a large bottle to last a while. It holds 8 FL OZ and is in a sophisticated looking plastic bottle which is handy to carry around as you know there is no risk of it smashing. If you love sweet smelling scents then this is the one for you; smelling of a mixture between flowers and candy. Its one for the sweet hearted and perfect for this valentines season.

 

Soap and Glory - Original Pink: I think this body spray is a must have for every household and not just for valentines, this holds the right to living in your household the whole year...and again...and again...and again! The scent lasts a while whilst also creating a really smooth texture on your body. It holds a 100ml and is in a really cute pink plastic bottle which is the perfect size for your hand bag. It smells so floral and isn't too sweet and overpowering; this is the perfect little combo to wear for valentines or coming up to spring to smell super fresh.

Vera Wang - Princess Power: This bottle could have a blog post on its own describing how beautiful and quirky it is. Its perfect for your dressing side table and brings out the girly princess in you. Its in a decadent heart shaped bottle and with pop-art crowns imprinted on the bottle and to finish this masterpiece of it has a little crown for the lid with beautiful coloured gems in each indentation. The scent is just as glorious as its appearance, smelling like peaches and tangerines, this is a brilliant buy and lasts a while as you only need one spritz for the magnificent scent.

 

 

 

 

 

Anna Sui - Secret wish: Another perfume with a beautifully decorated bottle perfect for your room. This one is a bit more sophisticated with the 'minimalist look is more' which I think is gorgeous! It is a clear glass bottle and has a little fairy as the lid. This smell is very subtle but still gives that lovely floral hint as if your in the meadows. A must but for any floral lover!

 



 

 

 

Another priority for valentines is making your lips look fab (and kissable)!! Two colours I think are a must have are of course RED or PINK!

 

To have the perfect pink look I have selected Ted Baker lip gloss with has a gorgeous vibrant corally pinky tone. It is full of colour and lasts all day and doesn't budge! This lip gloss hardens into a matte finish so looks like you have applied a lip stick.

 

 

The other pink look is from Freedom. This lipstick will make you stand out from the crowd, creating fuller lips that people wont be able to resist! Even Kylie Jenner would be jealous of your pout!

 

 

Lastly we can move on to the most standard look for valentines.... the RED LIP! This look is a classic and no wonder, it stands out and suits all complexions. I wanted to choose products that aren't lipsticks for anyone who wants to create a red lip but avoids lipsticks.

 

Soap and Glory - Sexy mother pucker Gloss Stick: This product is a must have for anyone who wants a subtle red lip that still creates kissable pouty lips! It is buildable colour so for anyone who has never worn a red lip before and is scared of trying one out then this would be a great start.

 

Soap and Glory - Sexy Mother pucker Lip Lacquer in whatchama-coral: This is a similar product however provides much more colour. It is so bright and perfect for pale skin with a lovely coral tone! In fact I think I prefer it to lipstick! This one has no tingling sensation and feels super soft to wear however it can be quite sticky at times so be aware. AND MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR TEETH! You do not want to be sitting at your date with you teeth covered in red gloop!

 

One TIP OF THE DAY: If you have a red lipstick, pop in under your eyes and blend in with your foundation. This may sounds mad! And it can take a while HOWEVER it really does get rid of your tired dark circles under your eyes leaving you to look fresh.

 

 

I hope you all have a fantastic valentines day with your loved ones! Let me know what you will be getting up to!
