This morning I was treated to a morning of fragrance and beauty at the Victoria’s Secret Valentine’s Beauty Preview and Gifting Suite at the Four Season’s hotel in San Francisco. The elegant suite was strewn with gorgeous spring flowers and several of Victoria Secret’s beauty collections. Before today I wasn’t too familiar with Victoria Secret’s beauty line-up. I must admit I was impressed at the variety of products, quality and well-designed packaging. I will be revealing more fab finds from this go-to resource for beauty and fragrance in the upcoming weeks.
Today I will be sharing a few of my favorite picks for Valentine’s gifting. I am always out scouting interesting and fun new products and here are four picks for Valentine’s Day.
All girls have their naughty and nice sides. Perhaps it depends on the day, the occasion or the event? These beauty collections from Victoria’s Secret speak to the rebel and romantic in all of us. Love Rocks pays tribute to your inner wild at heart, while the Tease for Two appeals to a softer and sweeter side. Both are perfectly appropriate for gifting or receiving.
You have seen the moto-inspired trends all over the runways. Think leather Balmain motorcycle jackets, Pierre Hardy boots and Alexander Wang’s studded Coco duffel. Karl Lagerfeld even outfitted a custom Chanel motorcycle. A fresh take on this trend is the Victoria’s Secret Love Rocks Eau de Parfum (1.7 oz., $39). Fit for a rebel who is also a romantic at heart, this scent is a fruity floral giving off top notes of Bergamot, Peony and Raspberry sorbet. Middle notes includes scents of Sandalwood flower, Jasmine, Peach nectar, and Plum. The Love Rocks eau de parfum is bottled in a striking red lacquer bottle and the atomizer is accessorized with a black leather rosette. Another item from this collection that caught my eye is the super sweet Love Rocks Lip Gloss Ring ($12), it opens up to a little pot of sheer cherry red lip gloss and the word “Rocks” inscribed inside.
These gifts are for indulging your romantic side and sharing with another. A wearable and edible treat, from the Tease for Two collection, the Vanilla Craving Edible Shimmer Powder ($15) can be dusted on your décolleté for a pretty glimmer and nibbled off later. It is very delicate and is lightly scented, doesn’t leave a harsh metallic glimmer like some shimmering body powders. Also perfect for Valentine’s most intimate moments is the Kissable Massage Oil ($15)…the perfect ending to a romantic evening.
