We truly can’t think of a situation when it isn’t appropriate to give someone a beauty gift. Christmas, a birthday, an anniversary, and, of course, Valentine’s Day. Yes, it’s always the thought that counts, but when that thought also comes with the perfect red lipstick, a stunningly unique fragrance, or a glow-enhancing body oil…well, even better. And with so many great beauty choices out there, this is also a choice time to pick-up a little something for yourself too, no matter whether or not you have a special Valentine you’re buying for. It’s called self-love.

:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(webp)/drunk-elephant-bouncy-brightfacial-7999c563bc204ec1af7367e6b70da707.jpg)
This newbie is poised to give the brand’s beloved Babyfacial a run for its money. Combining azelaic acid and salicylic acid, it leaves skin smoother, brighter, and more even, leaving your complexion with a candlelit glow (even if you’re not going to be having a candlelit dinner this V-day). Bonus points for the fact that it does so without triggering unwanted irritation or redness.

“After using this every night for three weeks, I noticed a significant uptick in the all-around smoothness of my skin. The fine lines in my forehead have diminished significantly, and my cheeks have an almost lifted effect to them that I attest to the lack of dead skin cells that were dulling their shine before. Thanks to this formula’s gentle approach to exfoliation and its heavy dose of moisture, I was able to whisk away dead skin cells while supporting my dry and sensitive skin.”—Isabella Sarlija

Spring-boarding off of the success of the brand’s beloved firming Bum Bum Cream, this offers a hefty hit of fast-absorbing moisture and leaves skin gorgeously radiant. And yes, it has the same cult-classic gourmand scent, a combo of salted caramel, pistachio, and vanilla.
Price at time of publish: $54
“Firmenza’s lightweight texture soaks almost immediately into my skin, leaving me without an ounce of residue, just a radiant complexion on my typically-dry arms and legs. One thing I will note is that I’m a lazy-routine lover and applying a body oil both day and night seems out of reach for me. Yet, even with just using the Bum Bum Body Firmeza Oil once a day after my shower, I’ve noticed an uptick in my skin’s firmness when I use it in combination with a lymphatic drainage technique.”—Isabella Sarlija
Phlur Tangerine Boy Eau de Parfum

For anyone who’s not a fan of florals, this citrus-y fragrance is a top choice. Still, it’s unlike any other citrus scent you may have used in the past, leaning towards tangy and even a bit spicy, rather than light and fresh, an addicting blend of tangerine, amber, jasmine, and ginger.
Price at time of publish: $26 for .32 oz; $96 for 1.7 oz
“It’s a far cry from most citrusy scents on the market, given that the tanginess is impossible to ignore, yet that’s what makes it so great. It’s completely unexpected, but it’s not so far off that it leans rindy or too bitter—it strikes a nice balance between tart and fresh. And while citrus scents often feel daytime appropriate but lack a sexy twist for nighttime, this one is fitting for both.”—Alyssa Kaplan
Dyson Airwrap Styling System

Yes, the price tag on this hot tool is a little bit shocking, but yes, it’s also completely worth it. Alongside tech-y features (think a digital motor, intelligent heat control, and a unique technology that creates an air vacuum to wrap your hair around it), it also takes the place of pretty much any and every hot tool you’d ever need. It works wonders to create everything from a smooth and sleek blowout to bouncy waves, even if you’re not a skilled DIY-er.
Price at time of publish: $600
“I was shocked by how quickly and efficiently the firm smoothing brush attachment straightened my hair—and it wasn’t the least bit flat or stuck to my head. Truly, it had the body and volume of a professional blowout. Even when my hair was fully air-dried, it still made it silky to the touch and smoothed out any fly-aways.”—Tanya Akim
“I legitimately pulled an audible the first time I used this and realized how good it made my hair look. I know that it’s crazy expensive, but I haven’t needed a professional blowout since I got it, making it, in my opinion, truly priceless. For some reason I’m totally inept at using a curling iron or even a round brush, but this gives me the bouncy, blowout of my dreams—with minimal effort—every single time.”—Melanie Rud

“Ever since I tried one of About Face’s new creamy lip butters, it was love at first swipe. The super glossy, high-shine balm melts into lips (even dry, cracked ones) and offers a vivid splash of color. I usually gravitate towards more subtle pigments, but there’s something about these candy-colored balms that makes me want to lather my lips in bright hues. My personal favorite is Pamplemousse, a juicy rose, but you can’t go wrong with any of the other fruity picks.” — Caitlyn Martyn
