Valentine’s day is just around the corner, and – if you’re anything like us – all you want to give or be gifted with is beauty. Flowers? Meh. A gorgeous facial that promises the glowy skin of gods? Now we’re talking! Enter: our round-up of must-give beauty Valentine’s gifts.
LOOK FANTASTIC
Packed with enough luxury formulas to get even the fittest of hearts racing, this lust-worthy box is worth a whopping Dhs787 and includes staple brands like Elemis, Morphe, Ouai and Honest Beauty.
KORA ORGANICS
Rose quartz is the stone of universal love, which makes this heart-shaped facial sculptor a particularly thoughtful gift. Made to stimulate circulation and reduce puffiness, we recommend using this to give each other facials under candlelight…
MOLTON BROWN
Balancing heady notes of cedarwood with juicy tangerine, sumptuous lily of the valley and spicy pink pepper, this heaven-scent, sultry cocktail makes for the perfect gift.
LA MER
Nothing says romance quite like La Mer! This decadent lip polish is sure to hydrate and resurface lips for an ultra-kissable pout.
FRAME BY SARAH BATTIKHA
A skin-boosting haven that’s brimming with next-gen, medically backed tech, Frame by Sarah Battikha is a must-visit dermatology clinic. Treat your loved one to their best-selling Frame Glow Facial, which is personalised to your skin type and uses a medical-grade, high-pressure jet to project ingredients deep into the skin. The result? Revitalised, glowing, even-looking skin.
LOEWE
Housed in the most gorgeous terracotta pot that can be repurposed by any green-fingered Valentine, this candle will transform your space into a sunshine-filled, floral retreat. Pair with a homemade meal and an Insta-worthy table-scape for extra brownie points.
COYA SPA & SALON
Honestly, if your partner doesn’t buy you a manicure from Coya Spa & Salon, do they even love you?
THAMEEN LONDON
There’s just one thing we love more than positively hypnotising fragrances: positively hypnotising fragrances that are limited edition. Say hello to Thameen’s latest olfactory offering – coming in a regal red vessel, it boasts a dynamic mix of spicy pepper, rich amber, sweet vanilla and soft musk.
H&M BEAUTY
The category is “nostalgic beauty”, and H&M are coming through. Remind your workaholic bestie to take some time for self-care with these deliciously fruity, fun and vegan(!) bath fizzers.
SENSASIA URBAN SPA
If a romantic dinner-for-two doesn’t sound like your thing, opt for a massage-for-two instead. Ditch the oven gloves for fluffy robes and relax with a 60-minute massage, accompanied by glasses of bubbly and full access to SENSASIA’s steam and sauna facilities.
COMFORT ZONE
Hydration equals happiness! Keep your Valentine happy with this skin-quenching, glow-giving set. You can’t go wrong.
PASTELS SALON
Our fave choice for a Galentine’s Day out, Pastels Salon is giving complimentary L’Oreal Conditioning Treatments, and 50% off blow dries when you indulge in an iS Clinical Honey Enzyme Facial or iS Clinical Fire and Ice Facial (which is loved by none other than Beyoncé!).
ILIA
Brimming with berry-hued goodness, this set is perfect for self-gifting. Too good to give away, it stars their juicy Lip Wrap Reviving Balm, Balmy Tint Hydrating Lip Balm and Lip Wrap Overnight Treatment. Smoothing, hydrating and actually award-winning, these formulas will have your lips feeling pillowy and irresistible.
ETRO
Be mysterious and alluring with Via Verri and Etra – ETRO’s latest forays into the world of love. Androgynous and inclusive, each scent appeals to every sense – neither too sweet nor too spicy. Spritz to conjure visions of romantic forests and blooming meadows.
