real talk: I’ve never had a real Valentine, unless you count my mommy or my GALentine’s. Regardless, I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. ever considering that I was little, it’s been one of my favorite holidays, and not just because of all the chocolate I get to eat. I’ve always been a incredibly love-y person, and I love telling people how I feel. Life is just too short not to. As a kid I was always clinging on my loved ones and showering them with hugs and kisses. even still, my pals are never shocked when I get hold of them randomly just because I need a hug!

I always tend to treat myself around Valentine’s Day in some way, shape or form. often it’s a brunch out with girlfriends, a cute new top to wear out that weekend, or a kicking back appeal treatment. This year a lot more than ever, I’m obsessed with appeal products. I think I have Amanda to thank for turning me over to the dark side of glamorous appeal products! This Valentine’s Day, I’m obsessing over these 10 products.

La Mer Crème de la Mer Moisturizing Cream
$170 by means of Nordstrom
I’ve heard that this stuff is the crème de la crème of appeal products—zero pun intended! This cult favorite is always on my radar, but I have to be honest, it gives me a little bit of sticker shock as the most I’ve spent on a appeal product is around $85. This would be the utmost V-Day treat to myself.

Dior nail Lacquer in Bonheur
$28 by means of Nordstrom
Basically the only time of year you’ll catch me with this color on my fingers is during the month of February. Seriously, I got it last year around this time, had my nails done for Valentine’s Day and then wore it maybe one other time since. Dior polish is a favorite of mine though because it lasts really well, and that says a lot, from someone who mostly gets gel manicures!

SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Gel
$82 by means of SkinCeuticals
My face started breaking out recently. When I say I lost my mind a little bit over it, I’m putting it lightly, but at 27, I’ve never had trouble with my skin, so when it freaked out on me, I did too! I’m laughing a little bit about it now because after a trip to the dermatologist, it seems like it’s on its way back to normal—fingers crossed. However, thanks to strong prescriptions coupled with wintertime in NY, my skin is insanely dry. I fell in love with this hydrating gel after getting a facial at Nordstrom Spa. It’s so worth the price, I promise!

SLIP Silk Pillowcase
$79 by means of Net-a-Porter
I’ve heard that sleeping on a silk pillowcase is really terrific for your skin, and after aforementioned skin troubles, I’ve been taking a hard look at everything from what I eat to what I lay my head on at night.

Chloé Eau de Parfum
$105 by means of Sephora
Back when I was a fresh faced intern at Chloe’s nyc office I spent hours in the sample closet, which was filled with fragrance bottles for gifting, and that’s when I first fell in love with this scent! 4 years later I still love it and jet to get hold of a fresh bottle when I run out. It’s one of my favorites and I always get so lots of compliments when I have it on.

GG Blooms cosmetic Case
$550 by means of Gucci
If ever there were a time to splurge on a designer makeup bag, now would be it.

Tom Ford appeal Soleil Blanc Eau de Parfum
$230 by means of Net-a-Porter
I don’t really have a terrific reason for wanting this, other than the fact that I came within 2.2 seconds of swiping when a sales associate at Saks cornered me and spritzed my wrists before I could even protest. It genuinely smells amazing, but the thought of getting it gave me pre-buyers remorse and I never actually went through with the purchase. I still want it, though. any individual want to get me a treat this V-Day?

Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure lift and firm Mask
$80 by means of Sephora
Nothing sounds a lot more glamorous to me than a 24K gold mask. I can’t say I’ve ever tried this myself, but I’ve heard a terrific reviews from both pals and appeal editors, and it’s high on my list of products to try.

Fresh appeal Sugar tinted Lip Treatment
$24 by means of Nordstrom
This lip treatment is one of my favorite indulgences! It’s pricey when you think about spending $24 on a lip product when you can get about 10 chapsticks from the drug store for that price, but it’s absolutely worth it. I’m addicted to the rose scent and it gives your lips a great hint of pink!

Oribe bright Blonde Shampoo
$46 by means of Net-a-Porter
Oribe shampoo might be my guiltiest pleasure. I’m actually embarrassed to admit I’ve spent that much on a bottle of shampoo, but it is genuinely so worth it. I’ve had blonde hair my entire life. natural at first, but brightened up with color treatments later on in my life, and I’ve never found a shampoo that made my hair look incredibly shiny until I found Oribe. This stuff really works. Not a blondie? You’ll love the Oribe Gold Lust Shampoo, which my beauty parlor typically uses on my hair too.
