As you may (or may not) be anticipating, Valentine’s day is just around the corner and if you’re like me, there are lots of things to look forward to. Whether you’re single or in a relationship, Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to try out that new outfit or put on that new lipstick. To get you into the mood, here are some of my favorite looks, date ideas, and desserts for Valentine’s Day:
Favorite Makeup: Fuschia Lips
As a huge fan of both the color pink and lipstick, Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to bring on the pink.Try Girl About Town by MAC Cosmetics ($16) for a sweet yet bold look.
Favorite Nails:
This sheer pink is perfect for a subtle, yet sophisticated look. Try Pink Ribbon by Butter ($15).
Favorite Dessert:
Okay, I know this isn’t under the “beauty” category but who doesn’t love sweets? Strawberry milkshake cookies not only put a spin to the classic milkshake but also to the cookie. Try this recipe here.
Favorite Hair:
While we’ve all seen this look on Lady Gaga (remember this!), it’s also great for creating a low key, yet intricate look.
Favorite Outfit:
If you’re getting tired of pink, try a monochromatic all-red look. Unlike your basic black, it’s unexpected, bold, yet sophisticated when done right. You can view this look on fashion blogger Atlantic Pacific’s site (and more!).
Favorite DIY:
Yes, Valentine’s Day fortune cookies are real! If you don’t have time to make the cookies, try a paper version (but if you do have time to make them, try this recipe here). It’s a cute way to send notes to your loved ones!
