Valentine's Day Pretty

   It's that time of year again. Sure Valentine's Day is slightly overrated, but whether you hate it or love it it's a cute concept. Why not celebrate love? Love for your significant other, your friends, your family...even yourself! Whether you've got plans to go out on a date, grab a few drinks with the girls, or stay home in comfy pajamas with a nice glass of red wine (which just so happens to be what I'm doing right at this very moment), this Hallmark holiday is a great excuse to get dolled up and make yourself feel like the lovely girl that you are. :)

   I've put together a little make-up guide using images of my favorite Victoria's Secret models. They are, after all, unfairly gorgeous and the poster women for romantic glamour.

   I opted for a soft, feminine, and somewhat natural palette. After all, it's not attractive to overdo it. If you've got big plans for this Valentine's Day, remember to focus on one of your features. For instance, smokey eyes and bold lips don't always work well together. More importantly, don't forget that you're already gorgeous and don't need multiple coats of paint on your face. Your date is lucky to be stepping out with you. :)

Burt's Bee's Honey and Tinted Lip Balms - burtsbees.com

Benefit Cosmetics Lip Stain in "Posietint"

These are my personal favorites! Benefit's Lip Stain can be used as both a lip stain and a cheek stain. Burt's Bee's tinted lip balm gives off a natural hue that never dries out your lips and doesn't fade away. As for the honey lip balm, I never go without it. :)

Nars Blush 

Nars Illuminator in "Super Orgasm" 

Peachy pink with gold glitter...who can resist that?

Benefit Cosmetics Brow Zings

Clinique Brow Shaper

I've been guilty of neglecting my eyebrows. Apart from getting them waxed regularly, I used to never touch them. It's only recently that I realized how important it is to take the extra ten minutes to touch up your arches. It can really change the way you look! Both products boast "smooth, perfectly-defined" eyebrows. The brushes that come with them are designed for creating a natural shape that you can control with accuracy. Check out the reviews and see for yourself. 

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in "Nectar"

Dior Iconic Mascara

I'm a pretty big fan of Bobbi Brown cosmetics. I don't usually splurge on make-up, but when I do I'm pretty particular about what I buy. Bobbi Brown's color palettes are mouth-watering. Peach-toned make-up simply looks good on everybody. As for Dior, I was gifted a sample of this mascara and I loved it! While I've yet to find a perfect mascara (as in, one that volumizes and is completely clump-free), this one comes pretty close. And if you're feeling really flirty, go ahead and add a bit of eyeliner. 

I hope this inspired you guys! Make-up isn't necessary but it is one of the perks of being a lady. :) All products except for Burt's Bees lip balm are available on sephora.com. Thank you for reading! Have a great week everyone! :)
