Valentine's Day Fragrances
Fun Gift Ideas for Your Valentine!
| Don't know of what to get him this year? These thoughtful gifts for your guy will make both of you smile |
 This is a TotalBeauty.com men's skin care products article Since the odds are that you're probably not going to get what you want for Valentine's Day (maybe I'm projecting here but, 22 times bitten, twice shy), why not hedge them a little by gifting your guy with something that you know you'll love too? |
Pink lips on Valentine's Day.. Egon Schiele's Hush Lipstick
The power of expression... At a recent visit to The Plaza Beauty for an event, I discovered the beauty of art and art of beauty in Egon Schiele Cosmetics. He's an Austrian artist whose work in Expressionism is quite exquisite. (I did a quick wiki search on his art.) I am impressed, not that I am an art connoiseur or anything but I do appreciate talent when talent is due. I am equally fascinated with the Egon Schiele Cosmetics line, which focuses on mineral-infused makeup (a love of mine!) and its cosmetics are inspired by the artist.
If you're looking for an alternative (ie: not daring to wear red for Valentine's Day), may I suggest their lipstick in Hush, a light pink, almost frosty but not too frosty, color that will give you pink pretty lips. What I love about this shade is that it is extremely wearable for everyday because not only is the color suitable, but its creamy! It is packed with Vitamin E and Jojoba oils that hydrate your lips, which is what my lips dearly needs everyday because it is so darn cold outside! It instantly hydrates it so it's perfect while giving you color!
Check out The Plaza Beauty for more Egon Schiele Cosmetics and great beauty finds for Valentine's Day!

Offer the gift of LOVE this Valentine's Day with Thymes
Valentine's Day is this Monday, February 14! Looking for a last-minute gift? Why not give your guy the gift of Love...? A Love candle, that is! The Thymes OFFERINGS Love candle is a wonderful floral aromatic candle with hints of Jasmine and Hinoki wood. The scents in this candle is meant to "inspire feelings of affection." Now I believe that our sensories are heightened when another one of our senses isn't used.. For example, I definitely feel like I can hear much better when I'm walking back home at night (haha) So if you're lighting this candle in a dimly lit room, you will definitely notice the strong scents of the candle. The scent is definitely a combination of floral/woodsy that lasts; the candle was burning for about half an hour one morning and the fragrance stayed the rest of the day.
As always, the Thymes candles are beautifully designed- just look at the candle holder. It's simple, classic and you just don't want to throw it out! They're definitely reusable, of course after approximately 60 hours of burning the Love Candle, and you can use it to hold your makeup brushes or something. ;)
Have a happy Valentine's Day with your loved one(s) this year!

Valentine's Day Makeup with Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics
Go red this Valentine's Day with Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics!
I have been a personal fan of mineral makeup for many, many years now. For me, it gives me a natural, flawless face, and the ingredients are natural so it lets my skin breathe. So, you can imagine my excitement whenever I got the chance to try this new mineral-infused makeup brand, Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics. Discovered at NYC's The Beauty Plaza, this trio kit has gorgeous red must-haves to wow your date on Valentine's Day.
(Read more reviews on TotalBeauty.com)
This trio set comes in an adorable clutch to stash your beauty must-haves and 3 gorgeous products to look rouge-ready for Valentine's Day. The Crushed Mineral blush in Rouge, a classy and stylish rosy colour ($22, USD), a bright shimmery pink lip gloss in Promiscuous ($23, USD) and a pretty red lipstick in VIVID ($16, USD).
The products themselves are fabulous and the colors are rich and moisturizing. I adore this kit because the products are really good. The blush is long lasting and even a tiny bit of the blush gives me a hint of color. The lipgloss isn't too sticky and gloopy and gives it a nice bright hue. The lipstick is perfect (even looks a bit blue-based tone to make your teeth look white and brighter) to get berry-stained lips that look moisturized and kissable! All in all these products will enhance your overall Valentine's Day look and the products are neatly packed in a handy little clutch for you to take with!
To see more Youngblood Mineral cosmetics, check out The Plaza Beauty in NYC for more luxurious beauty essential right near Central Park.

Daffy's Valentine's Day Gifts Guide
Valentine's Day is next Monday, February 14 and I wanted to share some goodies I got on a small shopping spree, courtesy of NYC Daffy's. With a fifty dollar gift card in my hand, I got some GREAT items that I thought were cute, fun and V-day appropriate. :) I also took some pictures of other Daffy's items that would make great gifts as well. If you don't remember my Holiday Last Minute Shopping Gifts list, check it out here first.
NYC Daffy's is great for finding regular fashion, home/decor, and other fun items at a discount price. Everytime I go there, it's always packed.. They carry lots of shoes, handbags, clothes and it's always different. Most of the items that I found last time for my Holiday shopping weren't there anymore, so if you see something you like, get it before it's too late!
Here are my Valentine's Day Daffy's picks:
To see Daffy's Valentine's Day outfits....
If you're looking for some sexy lingerie for Valentine's, you can get an ensemble for about $10! The black lace on white is so trendy and beautiful and these are very affordable! ($4-$8, USD) There is a great deal going on right now for 20% off 4+ items in this dept. (Hurry!)
If you would rather wear something comfy and red (like me!!), try this great slip with white lacy detail. ($20, USD)
Overall, I found my shopping trip at Daffy's to be so fun, looking for affordable items at a discounted price and I look forward to going there monthly to see what new items they carry. I am pleased that I got such great stuff for Valentine's Day.

Most of the items that I found last time for my Holiday shopping weren't there anymore, so if you see something you like, get it before it's too late!
Here are my Valentine's Day Daffy's picks:
 | Spotted these 2 cute makeup bag sets- each has 3 in different sizes so you can put 1 in your purse, 1 at work/school/etc. , and another to give to a friend. These are only $8 a set and come in these cute patterns. |
 | These notepads (2 per pack) were on CLEARANCE for $3 each. In such gorgeous paisley patterns, I couldn't help myself but get these two. They are perfect to write shopping lists, jot down ideas in a meeting, love notes, etc. ;) |
 | These were two very adorable cosmetic pouches by Pink Studio. A gal can never have enough cosmetic pouches and this is the perfect size to hold your ID, phone, beauty essentials and more! These were also a steal for only $6 !! Everything at Daffy's is priced at such a great price, you'll want everything... |
 | Alas, Valentine's Day is not Valentine's Day without some perfectly PINK candles. This set of 4 is great to put around the room for a dimly light romantic setting. Also very affordable for less than $10. (Found these in the Home section at Daffy's) |
 | I prefer these taller multi-colored candles for about $7-8 b/c these last much longer. These will also make great gifts as they already tied in cute ribbons. |

Shimmer like the French with Caron's Les Poudres
 | This Valentine's Day, it's time to go French with Caron's Les Poudres! Inside this white box lies a shiny case holding such a delicate, fine mineral-based powder to wear and look fabulous on a night out! In Venitienne, a rose shimmery color, Caron's La Poudre is gorgeous on your skin and reflects your natural beauty. ($45, USD, The Plaza Beauty in NYC) |
Here is a beautiful display of the Caron products and their powders at the Plaza Beauty. There are lots of colors available for their loose powders and what is pretty cool is that they have two exclusive formulas, Les Transparentes (to create a natural finish for normal/dry skin) and Les Classique (for more coverage on normal/combination skin).
La Poudre Venitienne is one of the shimmery evening makeup for Les Transparentes. Although I have combination/oily skin, I found this powder to be quite nice, leaving my skin dewy and glow-y. This felt so light on my skin and it smelled floral. The mineral-infused makeup is infused with Bulgarian rose petals. Love this! This is my new personal favorite to look and feel special for Valentine's Day and everyday after!
For more beauty specials, check out The Plaza Beauty in NYC (literally the Plaza Hotel's lower level next to Central Park/58th Street) for lots of other specialty beauty brands, such as Youngblood, Dr. Young, Becca, and more!

Bath & Body Works Massaging Oil Review
 | This Valentine's Day, make time to relax and pamper yourself! If you're lucky enough to get your own private massage, I would recommend the Bath & Body Works Sensual Massage Oil in Black Currant Vanilla. It is simply divine for Valentine's Day. Massages can really loosen any tension you may have in your back or shoulders and the scent is sweet & soothing and is perfect for romance. (Available at BathandBodyWorks.com, $16, USD) |
I'm a huge fan of oils, from using Grapeseed Oil, Argan Oil to Lavender Oil these past 2 years, so I am always looking for them. Bath & Body Works has an amazing collection of scents in the massage oil, including Jasmine Vanilla, Tranquil Mint & Vanilla Verbana. I personally like the scent of Vanilla so anything vanilla-based & citrus I absolutely love. The Black Currant mixed in makes it smell a tad bit fruitier and very pleasant.
Overall, this massage oil is great to have because it has such calming scent. It absorbs into your skin and when you close your eyes, the sensual notes makes you feel like you stepped into a spa. It doesn't feel greasy at all which is lovely b/c who wants to feel like that? :) The ingredients include Sunflower oil, loaded with lots of Vitamin E, so it's also good to use as a moisturizer especially after taking a bath or shower. You can also use it if you take bubble baths.
Happy almost Valentine's Day! Check out the rest of my Valentine's Series here.

Have a Heart! Foot Petals Tip Toes for Valentine's Day
It's Day 2 of my Valentine's Series.. and wanted to show you these cute pink heart-shaped.. Foot Petal's TipToes! FYI they're for your shoes- not your ta-ta's- and these will help cushion your feet right below your toes to prevent callouses and any slipping for your dainty date heels.
Read more reviews on Foot Petals at TotalBeauty.com!
 | I've been wearing Foot Petals on my shoes for several years now - TipToes & Killer Kushionz - because the extra padding I get with these cushions is amazing. I like having the extra support because high heels can sometimes be.. uncomfortable. These Tip Toes can last several months depending how often you wear your shoe. It really depends can I can throw one out after 1-2 months and another Tip Toes pair I still have for almost 10 months. A pair of these Heart-shaped Tip Toes is great for celebrating Valentine's Day. Anything pink I like and for only $6.25 for a pair, these are a steal! Foot Petals have a wide collection of other shoe accessories, check them out here. |

It's Thymes for Valentine's!
Valentine's Day is just around the corner, and whether you're single, taken or in-between, there's no reason why you shouldn't celebrate LOVE! It's all about taking care of yourself and sharing the love with your loved ones of course. I'm excited to kick-off my Valentine's Day Series with a fave brand of mine- Thymes. They offer some amazing scents and even though I have really sensitive skin (& nose) they are not overpowering at all. It's all about moderation as well and some of these scents are just too good to resist. Some can really put you in a good mood!
Winter blues can be so blah and make you feel down, so why not instantly energize yourself with a whiff of something fruity? Check out my Thymes Agave Nectar Collection review here.
Thyme's Kimono Rose fragrance collection is perfect for Valentine's Day with its sweet notes of clementine, rose, peony and jasmine florals. Luckily, they offer this scent in various products such as a hand lotion, body lotion (both of which I tried)..
Check out my review and...
 |  |
The Thymes Kimono Rose scents are so floral and sweet. The rose, peony and jasmine combination is perfect for Valentine's Day to make your date fall head over heels for you. I usually don't go for floral scents but I am HOOKED on this!! The hand lotion absorbs quick so it's great to have right at your sink so you can moisturize your hands right after you wash. The Body Creme is fantastic to use after your shower to keep your skin smelling like sweet kimono rose. I definitely recommend this as a gift for yourself or for your girlfriends!

Have Your Valentine's Day Massage with Tammy Fender's Bulgarian Lavender Body Oil
 | It's a new year for an all-natural you! One of my favorite ways of moisturizing (especially in this harsh winter right now) is to use body oils. I recently discovered and tried the Tammy Fender Bulgarian Lavender Body Oil- and this product not only moisturizes but also awakens your spirit, as well! What do I mean? Lavender oil is an essential oil that is commonly used in perfumes and aromatherapy. It contains many benefits that are therapeutic to calm and ease your mind. It truly has a scent that makes you feel calm and peaceful, which is great after a long day of work! |
Tammy Fender's formulation in this body oil is meant to nourish and protect your skin. I use this after every shower to keep my skin moisturized; and this absorbs quickly so it doesn't feel oily and leave an icky residue.
Uses- I recommend using this as often as you can for fresh, radiant skin. One full pump will give you a quarter-sized dallop of oil; but the packaging you offers you to get tiny drops if you want. (Just press lightly!)
This body oil is also recommended for massages- Spend Valentine's Day this year stress-free with this calming, luxurious body oil. www.tammyfender.com (8 oz. for $65)
Here are some other great products in the Tammy Fender's line that I'm interested in..
 | Travel size products for on-the-go! I -aAlways like travel sizes just because :) |
 | Intensive Repair Balm contains Helichrysum, nature's healer, and claims to heal acne scars, fade under eye-circles, and so much more! Def. want to try this! |

Happy Valentine's Day! <3
| See how to get the look of your favorite Nars, Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent lipsticks at drugstore prices |
 Why spend $30 on a lipstick when you can spend $3 and get the exact same look? We asked celebrity makeup artists Molly Stern and Fiona Stiles to share their favorite lipstick look-a-likes -- and they delivered exact shade and texture matches (no one will be able to tell the difference). Now you can get the look of a Chanel lipstick and still afford a night out. |

Valentine's Day this weekend!
It's Valentine's Day this weekend and however you will be celebrating, I hope there will be wonderful crafts involved. I was lucky to be an audience member of the Martha Stewart Show last week and it was an amazing experience. There were several taped segments including making a heart box and beautiful jeweled-like cookies!
The Valentine Heart Box is very simple and easy to make. To make yours, get the directions here: Valentine Treat Box
Source: www.marthastewart.com
You can also make these gorgeous cookies using this recipe here. This cookie recipe belongs to the Jewels of New York, a partnership between two friends who enjoy design and cooking! You can't help but notice the rich berry colors on the cookies! They are actually made of raspberry jam and to add more flavor and taste, lychee puree and prosecco is used. Yummy!
It's a simple sugar cookie and even Martha Stewart was surprised that there was no baking powder used (Apparently she uses it a lot for her own recipes.)
They sell these cookies (4 for $25) on their website, Jewels of New York if you are interested. But I think if you have the ingredients at home and have the patience to make them yourself, it will be a fun project! They will also be homemade and a wonderful gift for your loved one.
So after browsing the website a bit more, I found some great videos and features that they offer. If you remember my earlier post on Martha Stewart's favorite Mario Badescu products (Read more about it here), I saw the video in her Video Archive.
Not only is her video collection on past shows up-to-date, she has recipes, crafts, gardening tips, and so much more. My favorite is her Cookie of the Day feature.
Each day you will see a recipe of a yummy cookie dessert! Last Saturday's was a Creamy Fudge Heart, and the ingredients are so simple. It's basically milk, lots of sugar, and butter. They also have a Chocolate Mint Cookie (January 27) and it looks good and easy to make. If I can master this, maybe I won't need to buy those Girl Scout mint cookies anymore!
