Ah, St. Valentine’s Day. Love is in the air, which for most of us translates to a beautiful excuse to receive gifts, get dressed up for a night out on the town and binge eat surplus amounts of chocolate. (The latter happens to be my personal favorite.) However, if you are one of the many who enjoy getting dressed up and going out on the annual Valentine’s Day date night, here are a host of new beauty products that you are sure to fall in love with!

I do not foresee a time anywhere in the future where highlighter will be going out of style. Especially during the dry winter months, a good highlighter can help you achieve hydrated, healthy-looking and youthful skin. Although this may be contrary to reality, this cream highlighter by Clinique, with just the right amount of light-catching pigments, will become your fast go-to highlight.

Dr. Jart Water Replenishment Cotton Sheet Mask

If you have some time to kill before dinner and a movie, try this hydrating sheet mask to add some much-needed moisture to your skin care and makeup routine. My favorite trick is to use this sheet mask before makeup application. Remove the mask after 15 minutes, do not rinse and add your favorite moisturizer on top. Apply makeup as usual.

Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray

This is the only makeup setting spray that I have ever used, and I’m giving it another honorable mention here. After makeup application is complete, spray a generous amount in criss-cross motions. You spent all that time getting ready for a fun night, so you might as well ensure that your hard work and artistry lasts as long as possible.

YSL Touche Eclat Radiance Perfecting Pen

Another one of my personal favorites for any day of the week. This concealer is lightweight and brings immense amounts of light and brightness to even the darkest corners of your face. As an added bonus, this is the only concealer I’ve ever tried that doesn’t crease by the end of the day. Set with a light amount of powder, and you should be good to go for the entire evening!

Marc Jacobs Beauty Liquid Lip Crayon

These are brand new and can be picked up on the Marc Jacobs website or at your local Sephora. This cream-based lip crayon has the pigmentation and longevity of a liquid lipstick — claiming up to 16-hour wear! It comes in a line of pretty pinks and bold reds, perfect for the season!
