Other Than Chocolates: A Valentine’s Day Gift Ideas for Her

 No, you can’t be giving her chocolates again.

While you might have probably spent the last couple of months trying to find something other than chocolates and flowers, you still end up buying and giving her that. Why? Because Valentine’s Day means roses and sweets. Or not

Women love beauty. It’s a fact. Women spent hours prepping up for a date. So, why not grab something else? Here’s a list.

·         Estée Lauder Resilience Lift 3-Piece Skincare TravelSet 

First, it’s Estée Lauder. She’ll appreciate that you’ve saved enough to buy her the brand. It’s also in a travel set. It’ll be just enough for her to try the formula on her skin and see if it delivers what it promises. It’ll be easy to carry around, too

Because it’s Estée Lauder, the set has to be inside the known blue and purple geometric designed bag. The set includes

• Perfectionist [CP+R] Wrinkle Lifting / Firming Serum (0.5oz / 15ml) promises to reduce fine lines and wrinkles at a faster time.
• Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Face and Neck Crème SPF 15 (0.24oz / 7ml) enhances the skin’s moisture for a younger look.
• Resilience Lift Firming/Sculpting Eye Crème (0.17oz / 5ml) gives the skin around the eyes the boost it needs to feel refreshed.

·         Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Skincare Travel Set

Elizabeth Arden’s name is popular among women. Her cosmetic products, however, are even more popular. The set contains:

• Eight Hour Cream Skin Protectant (Fragrance Free) (50ml) is the first product to have Elizabeth Arden’s name on it. While she can use this to primarily protect her skin from chapping and drying, the product can also be used to scrub the lips and even condition the cuticles.
• Eight Hour Cream Intensive Daily Moisturizer For Face (15ml) has SPF15 PA++. It moisturizes the skin while protecting it against harmful UV rays.
• Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick (3.7g) has SPF15. No more cracked lips.

·         Clinique 7-Piece Bonus Travel Set

You can’t go wrong with a Clinique product. It’s even a 7-piece set. What more could she ask for? The set has:

• Rinse-Off Foaming Cleanser (0.5oz / 15ml) that can remove all the make-up on her skin before she goes to bed.
• All About Eyes (0.17oz / 5ml) takes away that tired look on her face. It’s a cream to reduce the puffiness and shadows she has been telling you about the whole day.
• Even Better Brightening Moisture Cream Plus (0.5oz / 15ml) deeply moisturizes the skin and makes sure it’s locked in.
• Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector (0.5oz / 15ml) has been clinically proven. Say goodbye to dark spots and acne scars.
• Even Better Makeup has SPF 15/ PA++ 0.24oz / 7ml (64 Cream Beige (M-G)). It’s a sunscreen, a foundation and an uneven skin tone corrector.
• Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Color Balm 0.04oz / 1.2g (04 Mega Melon) has Shea butters. It’s perfect to keep those lips hydrated.
• Lash Power Mascara 0.08oz / 2.5ml (01 Black Onyx) works to give her that long curly lashes.

If you can’t find one on the list, you can purchase the perfect gift for her this Valentine’s Day here . Remember, it could be something else other than chocolates.

Have a ‘scentsual’ Valentine's day!

It’s February and love is in the air. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you will be overwhelmed with gift options from the saccharine sweet chocolates, to the perennial favourite—flowers. Sure, they are expected and girls never seem to grow sick of them, but why go down the same old predictable route? Nothing shows your affection like a scent in a pretty bottle and instead of putting your nose to the test and sniffing out options in the fragrance section; here are two new additions you can pick from!

Harajuku Lovers Eau de Toilette, US$39 for 30ml

Created by the uber cool Gwen Stefani, these dolls are super cute and feminine and look great on your dressing table. There are different characters such as Lil' Angel, Love, Music and Baby. Our favourite is the sweet and girly Harajuku Lovers Baby Eau de Toilette with its powdery mush of sparkling bergamot, tiare flower, jasmine petals and soft white musk.

Gucci by Gucci Eau de Parfum, US$64 for 50ml

Gucci by Gucci is the signature fragrance for the modern day icon, a strong yet sensual woman driven by both her desire for achievement and her unmistakable feminine allure. The new Gucci fragrance falls into the Chypre floral scent family, with a top fruity citrus note and a woodsy base note.

Gucci by Gucci Eau de Parfum emerges with a unforgettable combination of pear Guava accord and rapsberry, over rich sensual heart of notes of Tiare flower, spider lily and orange blossom and deep, lingering base notes of musk and honey that add a new sensuality and warmth to the strength of patchouli.
