Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s Day, Galentine’s Day, or just staving off the winter blues, there’s always a reason to pamper yourself. You might be heading out on a date, spending time with your soul-mate or just hanging out with the girls, but there’s no reason why you shouldn’t look, smell and feel amazing. I’ve tried a few premium beauty products that will hit the spot whether you’re going out out, or staying in.
Scentology Lychee and Floral Bouquet Body Mist
£7.99
Both fruity and floral, this light body mist adds a gorgeous scent to the body and hair that lasts for hours. It’s subtle and elegant, and gives you the confidence to spritz and go.
Perfect to wear as an everyday scent, or with a couple of extra sprays, you’ll keep smelling fabulous all evening. Throw it in your bag, just in case the night goes on longer than you expect.
Andreia Kiss Proof Lipstick in Seductive Red
£10
This creamy matte lipstick delivers long-lasting, vivid colour that stays put all day or all night. In Seductive Red, Andreia Kiss Proof lipstick will give you the perfect pout for all your Valentine’s Day celebrations, without the need to dash to the loo and touch up smudges when the evening really gets going.
Not only will it keep your lips looking luscious, but it will also leave them hydrated and protected thanks to the vitamin E and soy oil enrichment. It’s vegan and cruelty-free, making it an even more attractive prospect.
Fudge Professional Bond Builder shampoo and conditioner
£15 (shampoo), £15 (conditioner)
Fudge Professional Bond Builder shampoo and conditioners are designed to help strengthen hair and reduce breakage, leaving hair looking and feeling stronger and sleeker from the first use.
It all sounds great, but it seems a little too good to be true, right? I can confirm that from the first use of the shampoo and conditioner, my hair felt smoother and softer than before. You don’t need much product to create a lather and massage it through the hair, leaving it feeling incredible.
Fudge Professional has a gentle, pleasant smell, which remains on the hair after rinsing, adding to the fresh, clean feeling. My hair looked and felt fabulous, so if the frizz or split ends are getting out of control and need taming before your Valentine’s Day date, this one is a must.
Gen Nude Blonzer
£27
Bare Minerals is a brand with clean beauty at its heart. Made with powdered minerals and no nasties, its premium beauty products are vegan, cruelty-free, and dermatologically tested to leave skin feeling and looking great.
This blusher and bronzer hybrid, available in five shades, gives a hint of rosy, sunkissed glamour in one easy sweep. It’s light on the skin, leaving a flawless finish and blending easily for a healthy, radiant glow.
Just a little across the cheeks and anywhere the sun would naturally kiss will lift your look, especially in the dull winter months, and in the summer, it’ll enhance that sun-warmed glow beautifully.
Complexion Rescue Blonzer
£25.50
Another hybrid product from Bare Minerals, combining blusher and bronzer in one easy-to-apply gel-cream formula that blends seamlessly, giving a subtle, translucent glow to the skin.
A little goes a long way, leaving a light, silky layer that effectively conceals pores and imperfections. It also leaves skin feeling beautifully smooth and hydrated, which is an added bonus that we loved.
