Last Minute Valentine's Day Beauty Gift Guide



It's that time of year again... chocolates, flowers, and gifts are seen everywhere to celebrate Valentine's Day all around the globe. The beauty space has taken note and these are the gifts I know any beauty lover would adore.


A deliciously scented pink candle from Diptyque would make any girl swoon this V-Day! In celebration of diptyque's new Valentine's Day collaboration with Olympia Le-Tan called, "The Key To My Heart Is In My Bag," the brand has also launched an emoji keyboard (compatible with iPhone + iPad) – as a way to communicate with your loved ones. You can download in Apple's App Store.




Whether you're feeling like a Saint or a Sinner, Lipstick Queen has your lips covered with the newest lip tint that has color and hydration in one light-weight formula.


Charlotte's Magic Cream from Charlotte Tilbury is a hydrating and anti-aging wonder cream in gorgeous rose gold packaging. Face looks instantly hydrated and is left with a radiant finish.



A natural, caffeinated duo that gently buffs away dry skin and smooths lips to reveal a soft, supple pout. Get on my lips immediately.


The Dove Beauty Bar is the #1 recommended bar by dermatologists & pediatricians, and it's no wonder. It's extremely moisturizing and has many added benefits. I recently visited the Unilever factory in Trumbull, CT and spent the day making my own soap and learning the science behind the bar. Stay tuned for a separate post on that experience! 


Like a cool Mediterranean breeze, this floral-fruity fragrance transports your senses. The sea-glass inspired bottle extends Vince Camuto’s iconic signature fragrance collection design. Added bonus? I love how the bottle looks displayed on my vanity.



This is the game-changer gift that any beauty fan would swoon over. It's absolutely beautiful and made in Italy. The Beauty Voyage palette includes four Eyeshadows, a Blush, an Illuminator and two Lipsticks.



Who wouldn't want to smell like a rose? With Moroccanoil's body collection, that's a definite do on Valentine's Day.

Wishing you all the loveliest Valentine's Day. Any special gifts on your wish-list?
