10 Day Countdown: The Valentine’s Day (Self) Gift Guide
Valentine’s Day is all about love, and presents, and pampering. It’s a great day, is what we’re trying to say and what makes it one of our favourite dates are the beautiful beauty treats that come with it.
Sure, a fresh bunch of blooms are wonderful and always welcomed, but so is a new sultry fragrance or Urban Decay's latest palette wrapped in a big bow.
Here’s our pick of some of the best treats to spoil yourself or to drop hints about in the 10 days left before Valentine’s Day...
For the ultimate fragrance lover
We thought that there’s no way you could improve on a perfume gift from Jo Malone. Well it’s turns out there is a way and that’s by having the bottle engraved with a message! The Jo Malone London Red Roses Cologne, £45 for 30ml, is inspired by a voluptuous blend of seven of the world's most exquisite roses and can be engraved for an extra £15. It might be time to start dropping some BIG hints.
The gift the glow For those of us that (unsurprisingly) haven’t managed to get that natural ‘supermodel’ glow through the winter months, there are thankfully ways to fake that healthy fresh faced look.
Get soft, smooth skin in 3 simple steps with the targeted Nourished Glow Collection cleansing kit from Elemis, £40, which has been specially formulated to restore a healthy, radiant glow to normal skin.
The date night palette Want to get noticed this Valentine’s Day? Turn up the heat and treat yourself to the Urban Decay Naked Heat Eyeshadow Palette, £39.50. With 12 shades to choose from with a range of mattes, satins and metallic shadows, you can make sure your look is on fire this Valentine’s!
The gift of a perfect pout Dry, chapped lips won’t do, especially on Valentine’s Day. The Dream Kiss Plumping Sheet Lip Mask, £8.50 is a bio-cellulose mask that clings to lips and infuses them with collagen and hyaluronic for instant plumping. It can also be used as a primer - so it’s defintiely a must have before wearing a matte lipstick.
Valentine's beauty, boxed up The February Box is the perfect Valentine's gift. It's packed with products to cover all bases - including a night on the town with your girls or date night. What's more, the 5 beauty treats come inside an impossibly pretty Special Edition 'Galentine's Box'!
These are the perfect picks to treat yourself in the season of love. After all, they do say you’ve got to love yourself before someone else...

I am always searching for future trends - beauty, fashion, hair, you name it! I’ve tried every foundation under the sun and love trying up-and-coming makeup brands to compare them with the big names. Variety is the spice of life and my makeup bag is definitely wide-ranging.
