An Insider's Guide To Valentine's Day Beauty Gifting

These are the makeup, skincare and fragrance favourites that we would love to receive (or gift to ourselves) this February 14th.

“I think romancing through scent is lovely, it brings back memories and creates new ones. With pampering in mind, and having just discovered this product in a hotel, I would love to receive (or would happily self-gift) this satin oil from Diptyque, with jasmine, ylang ylang and saffron, followed by the deliciously rich cream that is perfect in colder weather.”


Violette, Makeup Artist

“If I had to recommend one product for Valentine’s Day gifting, it would be Guerlain’s Rouge G lipstick. Red lipstick should be daring. For me, red lipstick is all about empowerment. I want it to be brave. Sure, it’s a strong seduction tool but it’s also a powerful tool, which is especially important right now. A bold red lip is your weapon, it’s your own power and you do whatever you want with it. So when a red lip is daring and doesn’t compromise, that’s my perfect red.”

“Staying in is my Valentine’s vibe, and I would like nothing more than to receive the gift of a beauty treatment at home. A 90-minute Bamford massage treatment (via Ruuby of course) in the comfort of my living room please! Or, if you need to get a gift for someone else, you really can’t go wrong with a treatment voucher.”

“I think that a fragrance is such a romantic gift idea for Valentine’s Day. My husband once bought me Chanel’s Les Exclusifs Gardenia perfume. I believe for Valentine’s Day 2013! I treasured it. I also adore their Beige scent from the same range. Beautiful bottles and stunning scents that last on the skin. And they create beautiful memories. That’s very romantic.”

“For me, gifting at any time of year, but especially Valentine’s, is about giving someone something you know they’ll love but that they might hesitate to buy themselves. That’s why I’d recommend some type of beauty tech as it can be as exciting and fun to use as it is effective. My top picks are Dyson’s Supersonic Hairdryer for swish-worthy hair or Therabody’s SmartGoogles for ultimate rest and relaxation.”

“There is nothing I love more than luxury candles. They are a necessity in my self-care routine and add a hint of romance on even the dullest of days. I have my eye on this August & Piers ‘Darling’ candle and will be dropping subtle hints for a heart-warming moment.”

Lucy Halfhead, Content & Partnerships Director

“This Valentine’s Day, one of my favourite spots in London, AIRE Ancient Baths, has come up trumps with a new Love Constellations experience – the perfect gift to enjoy together. Between 11th and 14th February, the spa will be adorned with celestial decorations, and during a visit you’ll be treated to an aromatherapy couple’s massage with the added benefit of hot basalt stones to help release muscle tension.”

Sophie Wang, Head of Digital Media

“This time of the year, my lips are always dry, which is hardly fitting for Valentine’s Day. I’ve been looking for the perfect lip mask and Tatcha’s Kissu leave-on jelly is a natural, easy option. Plus, the beautiful pink colour would look great on my bathroom counter. I’d love to gift it to my roommate, so we can share!”

“Baths salts are a small touch that I like to use to add a bit of romance to my evening routine. Ortigia Sicilia’s Florio Bath Salts are a divine blend of narcissus, wild iris and jasmine; just what I’m looking for in some Valentine’s Day self-care.”
