This year, Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday, a day that also lends itself extremely well to a little bit of self care. Whether you have\u00a0dinner\u00a0\u00e0 deux<\/em> in your diary, or plan to relish your own company (bliss), it makes sense to indulge in a little primping and preening, does it not?<\/p>\n So here we have the Grazia guide to Valentine’s Day beauty prep; beautiful products our editors are calling on to show themselves (and potentially others) a little bit of love in the lead up to February 14th. There are date-night fragrance, pout-perfecting lip masks, and luxurious body products – all designed to make you feel like the best, most loved-up version of yourself.<\/p>\n Keep scrolling to shop.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Gucci Beauty S\u00e9rum De Beaut\u00e9 Fluide Soyeux Primer, $59.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n It feels rude to call this new launch from Gucci a mere primer because, in actual fact, it is so much more. It’s a light, silky fluid that fills lines and pores, smoothes texture and imparts the most beautiful rosy glow. It’s sheer and completely translucent, but still manages to make skin look better<\/em>. My Valentine’s Day plans are very low-key (takeaway pizza on the couch with my SO, if you will) so, in lieu of full glamor, I’ll be using this priming serum and a lick of mascara. – Emily Algar, Contributing Beauty Editor<\/em><\/p>\n Small Dior Travel Vanity Case.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Crafted in Rose des Vents supple lambskin and with a band embossed with \u201cChristian Dior,\u201d this small vanity case is my favorite from the DiorTravel collection. Not just exclusive to airports, this little beauty\u2019s main compartment will hold more than just a lipstick and a face mist, but try a phone, wallet, and notepad. If you are thinking of investing in this keepsake this Valentine\u2019s Day, my suggestion would be to add the matching \u2018Rose Des Vents Christian Dior Embroidery adjustable strap,\u2019 worn crossbody for a personalized touch. I\u2019m lucky enough to own one myself and am waiting hand-to-keyboard for the day I can book a flight to Milan, with this beauty my treasured carry-on. – Jessica Bailey, Editorial Director<\/em><\/p>\n Caudalie Resveratrol-Lift Firming Eye Gel Cream, $59.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n This French eye gel contains a patented resveratrol complex alongside quinoa extract, firming peptides and bio polymers for a bright, well-rested eye contour. It’s a gel texture, so sinks in quickly and won’t irritate or contribute to puffiness, either. Try it before (and after) date night, to refresh after an adult sleepover, or to soothe and firm up the eye contour after one too many wines over dinner with friends. The fact Caudalie hails from the romance capital of the world is a nice touch, too. – Emily Algar, Contributing Beauty Editor<\/em> This Works Love Sleep Pillow Spray, $42.<\/span> SHOP NOW<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n I’ve been a pillow mist addict since my early days as a baby beauty editor. I just love the ritual of it, and there’s quite a bit of evidence to show it supports proper rest, too. This Works is lauded as one of the best (and funnily enough, is founded by an ex- beauty editor), so this month I’m trading in the original for this Love iteration. It contains added ylang ylang and patchouli, two aromatic compounds thought to calm and in some instances, function as an aphrodisiac. But regardless of what you’re using it for, it makes for a nice moment before sleep (or otherwise), especially when you’re sharing the bed with someone special. – Emily Algar, Contributing Beauty Editor<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n tatcha Kissu Lip Mask, $28.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Gone are the days of buying a $5 lip balm from the grocery store. This year \u2013 and in apt time for February 14 \u2013 I\u2019ve upgraded to the real deal. Read: the Tatcha Kissu Lip Mask. Born from the makers of the cult Dewy Skin Cream, this gooey, silky treatment is the answer to a kiss-worthy pout (exclusive to your partner and household only, of course). Upon application, the cool gel melts to liquid to hydrate and deeply moisturize sensitive lips. And it\u2019s anti-aging to plump those pesky fine lines and wrinkles \u2013 bonus! Like its Tatcha cult cousin products, the secret behind this dewy concoction comes down to a blend of J-beauty ingredients. Think Japanese peach extract, rose extract, and Japanese camellia oil. \u2013 Rebekah Clark, Features Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Tom Ford Tubereuse Nue, $350.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Tom Ford screams more lust than love, but that won’t deter me from drenching myself in this heady white floral come February 14. The new juice is powerful and feminine; an obvious floral but with an edge. With notes of jasmine, tuberose (a favorite of mine) and pepper, it’s not a scent for wallflowers or introverts. Instead, it’s sensual, unusual, but still very wearable – a fragrance trifecta Mr. Ford is well-known for. A soft, musky, skin-like finish tops it off. In a word, it’s olfactory heaven. – Emily Algar, Contributing Beauty Editor<\/em><\/p>\n Summer Fridays R+R Mask, $52.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cIf you know me, you know I can be a huge <\/i>introvert. That\u2019s why my self-care routine is so important. Whether that be treating myself with a quiet evening in or a night out with my significant other this Valentine\u2019s Day, there is nothing quite like a pre-social masking date. Recently, my go-to has become the Summer Fridays R+R mask. As the name suggests, it\u2019s the perfect 2-in-1 spa worthy treatment that will aid the skin and the soul. It lightly buffs the skin with finely ground wild rose powder and enriches a tired face with argan, safflower, sesame, avocado, and grape seed oil: rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants. What is also noteworthy to mention is the R+R Mask contains no animal products, phthalates, parabens, sulfates, surfactants, petrolatums, BHT, BHA, or silicones. So, you\u2019re not only loving your partner this festive season, but the planet.\u201d \u2013 Rebekah Clark, Features Writer<\/em><\/p>\n Chanel Gabrielle Body Cream, $134.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n A deliciously decadent body cream is a great way to show yourself a little love, so I’ll be reaching for this new superlative from Chanel. It’s thick and buttery, plus carries the scent of Chanel Gabrielle,rich jasmine, deep ylang ylang, fresh orange blossom, and a touch of sweet, head-turning tuberose. Slather it over damp limbs directly after a shower, and top with the matching fragrance for a long-lasting effect. – Emily Algar, Contributing Beauty Editor<\/em><\/p>\n Vida Glow Hyaluronic Complex.<\/span> shop now<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/HotList1-1.jpg\")
