13 Valentine's Day Beauty Gifts You Actually Want To Receive
I would like to start a personal war with whoever decided the one romantic holiday we get is smack in the middle of February. Nothing feels less sexy than trekking all around town freezing to death in a micr0-mini or getting rained on the second you step outside. But although Valentine's Day comes at a terrible time of year, we're still committed to celebrating. After all, what's the alternative? Not getting a gift? As if.
While the undying love of my person is all well and good, let's be honest: this holiday is about the presents. I'd be happy to receive lingerie (especially if it's on-theme Skims) but the truth is, I'll always be at my happiest opening up some new beauty products. Here, find the 13 best beauty gifts you should give–or better yet, receive–on V-Day.
