Pictured Above: L’OCCITANE Cherry Amoureux collection

Dior Beauty Rouge Dior Couture Color Lipstick
An aesthetic that’s currently trending on TikTok is all about taking yourself out to a jazz bar to sip on martinis instead of going wild at a club. If that’s up your alley, make sure your lipstick is like this one—pigmented in colour, imbues subtle plumpness, and never flakes even if you munch on bar bites.
$66, SHOP NOW.
Diptyque Baies (Berries) and Roses Duo
If you’re in the mood for love which translates to actually having someone to gift a present to, then make sure you skip a gaudy box of chocolate and choose this one instead. It’s a combo of two of Diptyque’s most popular candles: berry-scented Baies and Roses that subtly scent a space.

Gucci Beauty Gloss à Lèvres
Putting on makeup on Valentine’s Day can feel like you’re donning armour to face a zombie-like crowd of couples and this lip gloss can be your final piece of protection: it imbues deep hydration and a long-lasting shine and comes in six shades depending on your main character energy for the day.

Jo Malone Rose Amber Cologne
While everybody seems to be obsessed with Babe Paley’s opulent style in “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans“, some of us want to look sportive but womanly like C.Z Guest instead. This scent—heady rose, spicy clove, and sensual amber—has us coming quite close.
$175, SHOP NOW.
Lush Kiss Me Quick Shower Jelly
Its bright red colour is guaranteed to put a smile on your face! It feels playfully squishy like those toys our Gen Z friends were obsessed with! It’s also incredibly moisturising on the skin courtesy of an ingredient called carrageenan that locks moisture in.
$25, SHOP NOW.
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Hydrating Body Lotion
Selena’s latest lotion guarantees a variety of pleasures for the self: vitamins and antioxidants soothe and firm, a cosy scent instantly turns a bad day into a good one, and its finish imbues the limbs with a sexy glow that looks absolutely gorgeous under sunlight.
$48, SHOP NOW.
Sol de Janeiro Jet Sets
Whether you’re planning to escape somewhere ala Under the Tuscan Sun, hang out with your girlfriends like in Legally Blonde, or spend time by yourself as a main character in How To Be Single (or how art mimics life), each Sol de Janeiro body set makes it a little more fun courtesy of a body wash, plumping body cream, and a perfume mist.
$48 for each, SHOP NOW.
STILA Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick
Come Valentine’s Day, some of us like to partake in bed rotting while some dare to venture outdoors in a pack with a pact to eat through their feelings. If you’re the latter, at least make sure your lipstick never fades in colour or hydration even as you drink your sixth martini or devour an entire plate of truffle fries.
