Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and if you’re looking for gift inspo here are 20+ fun ideas whether you want to treat yourself or send someone a hint!

BEAUTY TREATS

I think getting a new lipstick, balm or gloss is always fun no matter what time of year! I love the Dior Addict Lip Maximizers (use code VDAY23 at checkout for a gift with purchase on $125+ at Dior.com) and Lawless Forget the Fillers for smoothing plumping glosses that don’t sting or tingle.

Hermes just launched new Shiny Lipsticks in three shades available at Saks (use code NEXTFEBSF for 10% off) and also at Hermes.com. I still think the Hermes Lip Oils are stunning (review + swatches here) and would make for the best treat yourself gift.

The Too Faced Hangover Rx Pillow Balms are always a fun gift idea. There’s a clear version and four sheer tinted shades. This duo is bundled at a value price here ($30 for the set).

A fresh manicure always makes me feel more put together. I love the Olive and June Quick Dry polishes (at Target and Olive and June). Picante is super fun for spring to summer.

Charlotte Tilbury launched her new Matte Blush Wands in four dreamy shades. If you shop through her site she has bundles and sets available with a price break like this Cheek Duo.

FRAGRANCE LOVER

For the fragrance lover a scented shimmering body oil makes for a nice gift. I bought the Maison Francis Kurkdjian Shimmering Body Oil over the holiday and highly recommend it. Chanel has one in the Coco Mademoiselle Pearly Body Gel and it’s on my wishlist.

TREAT YOURSELF

For the ultimate splurge you can never go wrong with a nice piece of jewelry. I’ve been looking for a diamond bracelet for a while and am still debating what to splurge on but this Mejuri bracelet has been on my radar. I love the Pave Diamond Huggie Earrings and wear them all the time.

This Gucci Makeup Bag in the pink shade looks super cute. I also love the peach color in some of the YSL pieces like the Wallet On Chain (also available in small leather goods).

For the girl who has everything you can always find something new and stunning at Venus Et Fleur. There are so many beautiful combinations and arrangement options for roses, hydrangeas, gardenias and more. I love this Round Floral Box.

I bought myself some Sugarfina treats for Valentine’s Day. Andrew likes them too and I bought a few things for my mother-in-law.

I have a mini roundup today with a few last minute Valentine’s Day gift ideas to treat yourself! I will have reviews and swatches of all the makeup items in upcoming blog posts!

Fenty Beauty Gloss Bombs are still among my favorite gloss formula and I’m beyond thrilled they added three new shades to the full size lineup in Glass Slipper, $weetmouth and Hot Chocolit! The mini Glossy Posse set from holiday is still available (swatches here).

I’ve been thrilled with all the Chanel launches this year! The new Rouge Allure Camelias are all stunning and they’ve also revamped their Longwear Lip Pencil in 19 new shades. The Le Blanc collection just launched online and it’s stunning! There is a new product called the Rosy Light Drops that comes with a pump dispenser. The new Le Vernis in Petale and Fleur de Pecher are both must-haves! (Review, swatches and dedicated posts coming soon.)

For perfume lovers the Chanel Chanel Crayons set has four scented crayons each with a different variation of the Chanel perfume! They’re super cute to keep in the purse for touch ups or to split up and gift away to friends.

So many of you have asked for a review of the latest Diptyque Paris en Fleur Candle. Of course I had to buy it! I’m still undecided about the rose scent – it’s very powdery and I have yet to burn it. I caved mainly for the beautiful packaging.

For new lip oils this season I’d say the best ones for me have been the Bobbi Brown Crushed Oil-Infused Glosses. They are sheer but I love they way they look and feel! New Romantic is my favorite soft mauve shade.

For the ultimate glow the Natasha Denona Love Glow Cheek Palette is super glowy and shimmery. The diamond powder is the only color that has full on glitter while the other three are more glowy. If you want more of an everyday palette I still think the NARS Overlust Cheek Palette is the best one I’ve seen in quite some time.

The Venus Et Fleur roses are 100% worth the splurge! If you remember from a few years ago Andrew bought me one of the boxes and it lasted well over 12 months! The mini ones are super cute for your desk or vanity. Here’s a snapshot of how they lasted over a year and at the full one-year mark in this post.

There is so much I’ve been wanting to share that’s new in the beauty world – but it’s all been put on hold. I’ve been extremely sick and stuck in bed the past week. Thank goodness I’m finally starting to recover and on my way back to feeling myself. A few more ideas below!

More as soon as I can get back to posting!
