Sweet Treats For Valentine's Day

 Seeing as how I need no additional chocolate temptations in my life on Valentine's Day(& in fact should probably cut down on the quantity consumed the remaining 364 days of the year...) here are some beauty sweet treats for the loved ones in your life!

This Sweethearts Perfect Flush Blush ($29) from Too Faced is brightening & flattering on all skin types. It's like that love flush every gal wants. 

Besides I heart (get it?;) Too Faced's packaging- it's so girly & glam. 

Super sweet from Stila, this Valentine's Day Cheek Palette ($14)  definitely packs more of a vibrant color punch. 

I collect make-up as art & this Sexy Booster Sexy Glow Bronzer ($13.99) from Physician's Formula is too cute. I'm sure that in all honesty this would get more use for most women than an actual negligee!

Here's another product from Physician's Formula & another new addition in their Happy Booster line. They claim this line can actually boost your mood. This Glow & Mood Boosting Illuminating Bronzing Veil ($13.99) does make me smile just looking at the confetti like heart bronzing pieces. So why gift something like chocolate that's gone in 12 minutes (in my case) or overpriced flowers that die in a week? Give the ones in your heart a make-up treat & they'll be feeling the love all year long!

Peace. Love. Lipgloss.

I love Benefit Cosmetics- their cleverly named products & the fact that their products address real skin concerns & issues. I have countless highlighters from them! They have a cult following for their blushes such as Georgia, Dallas & their latest Hervana. They usually come in these whimsical cardboard boxes with a coordinating brush.

This is Benefit's best selling highlighting & bronzing duo '10.'Look similar? Hard Candy is carried exclusively at Walmart, so whenever I'm there I check out what's new. I recently spotted & scooped up their Fox in a Box Bronzing Duo in Skinny Dipping. The box houses shades that are dead ringers for Benefit's Dallas & Coralista. The color payoff of Hard Candy for a mass line is great quality. Plus, the California beachy colors in the Skinny Dipping Duo give the perfect glow as we head into summer!

One thing about the Hard Candy version is that the compact doesn't completely close, which is probably due to it being displayed open for view ability. It's not a big deal for me- as I'll probably pop the blush out & stick it in my Z Palette, anyway! For $6 vs $28- it's a steal of a deal for sure!

Run, do not walk to scoop these up girleens! Maybelline's Limited Edition blushes are to die for. I, of course, couldn't resist picking 2 up when I spotted them in Rite Aid!

When I pull this Bobbi Brown blush in Pale Pink (left)out of my kit, clients get a smidge nervous. It does look a bit obnoxious, but it gives the most gorgeous cool toned rosy glow to my brides. They are always won over & it's obvious I love it, as I've hit pan. When I spotted Pressworthy Pink, I did a little dance due to how similar a shade it is while being a steal at $9 vs. Bobbi Brown's at $24! The pink is almost an exact match, with the Maybelline version pulling a little bit more pigmented than Bobbi Brown's.
Here Pressworthy Pink is on the apples of my cheeks, with a little dollop of Stage Glow on either side of my nose to get a little bit of that 'Mandy Moore' dewy cheek look. I've been using Stage Glow all over as a highlighter, as well as an overall shadow. Love them! Grab them while you can.

Peace. Love. Lipgloss. M
