My Pretty Valentine

Ah, Valentine’s Day. For some, it’s a day for flowers and romance. For others, it’s simply a good excuse to indulge in a little pampering.

Here’s a roundup of some of the prettiest holiday-themed treats in town:—

Stila Make Me Blush Set: Want a flushed, rosy glow? This trio includes two Lip Glazes – the first in a creamy pink and the second in a soft red, respectively called Hugs and Kisses – and the Make Me Blush powder compact, which combines multiple shades of pink and coral for perfectly flushed cheeks.
