Valentines Day Beauty Essentials

Valentine's Day is tomorrow! Are you ready? Whatever you might be doing this Valentines... Going on a hot date? Having a meal with your girlie friends? Having a night in with your husband? Its always nice to make a bit of an effort on Valentines day. I love getting all dressed up and heading out for a nice meal with my boyfriend. So heres a few beauty essentials for either your clutch bag or just to help you along with getting ready!

Giorgio Armani Si 

OH MY, this smells insane! I love this scent, I discovered it in the summer last year. Since then it really has just been one of my absolute faves. Mr Armani certainly knows how to knock a few ingredients together. So the main reason why I have chosen this scent for Valentines day, is not just because it smells incredible. BUT, Si actually means 'Yes' in Italian, AND Valentines day is the day where you celebrate the love for you and your partner or the love of you and your friends. So, you say 'Si' to love, and IF your partner may propose to you... you are actually already wearing 'Si'. PLUS, just to top it off even more, theres a gold ring on the top of the bottle, which is representing a wedding ring. OOOO

Perfume Pod

I have included this because its great for your clutch bag. Its easy to transport your favourite fragrance in, it's not going to leak or crack. It's not huge, you aren't carrying a 50ml bottle around with you, just your cute perfume pod.

Wet Brush

Oh everyone needs a hair brush to get ready with. The wet brush is my favourite brush, it gets through any nots I may have, it never pulls at my hair either, its very gentle. I have never tried the Tangle Teezer, but the Wet brush appealed to me more, because its in the shape of a typical brush. 

MAC Ruby Woo 

I crack this out every year. Its just the lipstick which screams Valentines to me. Its red, its matte its fabulous. Some people hate it because it dries their lips out. For me, I find if I put some vaseline on before hand, its perfect. It will last you all night, even if you get a cheeky kiss!

Charlotte Tilbury Golden Godess Palette

Another gorgeous product. From the packaging to the pigmentation. It's just beautiful. I feel with this palette you can create something quite natural, by just putting the champagne pale shade all over the lid, with a little bit of definition of the darker shades. OR, you can do the whole hog, and use the back for the instructions and go full on smoooooky.

Soap And Glory Glow Lotion 

I am really sorry for including this, because I'm not 100% sure that they still make this, or if it was limited edition. But there may be something similar to this product. I believe Estee Lauder do, so check out their counter. But the glow lotion is basically what it says on the tin. It's a body lotion, with a glow, a shimmer. Its not sticky, it just makes your body glow. I apply it mainly to my arms and décolletage.

I hope you have a fabulous Valentines, whatever your plans.

 Share the love!

3 Perfect Female Fragrances for Valentines Gifts

Personally for me, I am not a huge fan of Valentines day this is because I think that everyday you should show that you love someone not just one day of the year. This doesn't mean I expect a bunch of flowers every single day, even though that does sound nice.

Anyway, if you are a guy reading this then *high five* to you for reading a girls blog... But seriously, heres three fragrances which I love and would be perfect for Valentines day. I think fragrance is such a lovely gift, because it's a personal option for the recipient. I know that it's hard for someone to pick some fragrances for the opposite sex, you don't know where to start, you don't know if they will like it and you just don't want to waste your money on something. (Tip - if you do buy someone a fragrance and you really aren't sure if they will like it, don't let them open the packaging, just go into a shop with them and test it with the tester - on the skin. Then if they don't like it, you can return it).

Chanel Coco Mademosielle EDP

This fragrance is just my favourite smell in the entire world, I don't know anyone that doesn't like the smell of this, it's just gorgeous. Chanel is such a luxury brand, and you know when you buy Chanel you are getting quality and your loved one will love you for it!

It comes in three different sizes:

30ml - £49
50ml - £68
100ml - £96

Top Notes: Orange, Mandarin Orange, Orange Blosson and Beragmot
Middle Notes: Mimosa, Jasmine, Turkish Rose and Ylang-Ylang
Base Notes: Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Opoponax, Vanilla, Vetiver and White Musk

Marc Jacobs Decadence EDP

This is a new fragrance, I think that its very different to Marc Jacobs normal floral fragrances such as daisy. This is a bit more woody to me, and I prefer it a lot. Marc Jacobs is known for his fine fragrances, they are very popular and very beautiful.

It comes in three different sizes:

30ml - £48.50
50ml - £59
100ml - £86

Notes: Italian Plum, Saffron and Iris, Bulgarian Rose, Sambac jasmine and Orris Root

The bottle design is inspired by one of Marc Jacobs iconic bags.

Paco Rabanne Olympia EDP

This was launched in August 2015. It represents the female version of Paco Rabanne Invictus for men. This perfume just reminds me of an angel or something gorgeous like that, jus the bottle and the packaging of the box. I believe you can't go wrong with this fragrances.

It comes in three different sizes:

30ml - £40
50ml - £54
80ml - £59.50

Top Notes: Sparkling Green Mandarin, Aquatic Notes of Water Jasmine and Fiery Ginger Lily
Middle Notes: Salted Vanilla
Base Notes: Sandalwood, Cashmere and Ambergris


I hope this helped you, or you found it interesting to find out what is actually in these fragrances with all the different notes. Hope you have a lovely Valentines day, even if you are happy and single on the sofa with a fat takeaway - enjoy! Lots & lots of love ♥♥♥♥♥
