Whether you have big plans with your boo for Valentine's Day, or plan to treat yourself to some much-needed self-care, one of the most fun things about this holiday is getting ready. However, you may not want to go full glam with your makeup.
In the latest episode of Accidental Beauty Blogger, I’m showing you the perfect beauty products for a simple Valentine’s Day makeup look. From a stunning eyeshadow palette to a complexion-flattering nude lipstick for medium skin tones and a soft, floral fragrance, you’ll have everything you need for Saint Valentine’s Day. But if you want to grab some flowers, I highly recommend the Venus Et Fleur Love Locks Box, which features 30 heavenly-scented roses in the color of your choice that last for an entire year!
Be sure to watch the full episode, as I choose my ultimate must-have. And keep reading for more details on why you’ll want to purchase one of the products featured in the video above.
NARS Afterglow Eyeshadow Palette
This limited-edition eyeshadow palette features 12 beautiful shades in matte, satin, shimmer and metallic finishes. Most of the shadows are bold in color and all have great pigment pay-off, which is great for any look. Makeup featuring shades from a palette like this, and you are bound to have a good Valentine’s Day!
Buxom XTROVERT Mascara
If you thought singer Bebe Rexha was ruling the 2020 Grammys red carpet like a boss babe now you know why! It was the Buxom Xtrovert Mascara that made her lashes look “xtra” fleeky. This mascara literally made my eyelashes look ultra voluminous. I also love how the mascara wand is made. The X-shaped brush makes it so easy to apply the product to my lashes and build the mascara for longer length. You want to be cute and flirty? This mascara will do the trick!
Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush
Don’t let the bright hue scare you. This blush is a perfect blush because it looks so great on. It's hard to overdo it, unlike other highly pigmented blushes. It worked well with my eyeshadow since I had a little bit of coral in there. What I like even more about this product is that it can also be worn without foundation to give the skin a natural, gorgeous glow.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick
This lipstick has been the talk of the town. The subtle shine it has adds a gorgeous sheen that I am obsessed with. Plus, it feels comfortable and nourishing on the lips. Throughout the day, the lipstick stayed true to the berry pink essence. I think it’s a nude lipstick winner for medium to dark complexions.
R+Co Pearl Hair Pins
If you want to a really look cute for Valentine’s Day, star with these hair pins created in collaboration with Mandy Moore’s stylist Ashley Streicher. The set features a gold finish and a white pearl. So no matter which hairstyle you’re rocking, these will elevate your look!
Cartier II L'Heure Convoitee Eau de Parfum
Whoa! I smelled like a million bucks wearing Cartier. I mean, who wouldn’t? This soft, floral fragrance is actually unisex, and I love that it’s not too overpowering. You just need one spritz! When my boo smells this on me, he is going to love it!
The Ultimate Must-Have
This Buxom XTROVERT Mascara is definitely a game-changer. It boosted my lashes, extending the length and adding lots of volume without clumping. With a few coats of this mascara, I almost felt like I was wearing false lashes. And let’s not forget the X-shaped wand, which makes it so easy to apply.
