Push the boat out this Valentine's Day 1.
Lacoste Love of Pink Eau de Toilette, 90ml, £49
www.boots.com This very pretty pink bottle contains a fabulous mix of orange and passion fruit combined with lemon peel to give a very fruity first impression. If floral fragrances are the ones for you then this is perfect as the heart of the fragrance also combines pink magnolia and quince flower. Captivating.
2. The Body Shop Love Gloss for Lips, £10 www.thebodyshop.co.uk
If you haven’t tried a lip gloss before this one a good starting point. It has a high shine and comes with a heart-shaped wand – sounds romantic but it is a practical shape to apply to the curve of lips. We heart the Blush Pink shade.
3. Vera Wang Princess Night Eau de Toilette, 30ml, £34 www.boots.com
We simply couldn’t resist this heart-shaped bottle dipped with dark purple glitter plus heart-shaped tag. The fragrance is distinctly glamorous and as the name suggests it is perfect to wear in the evening as the woody, exotic aroma is heady in a good way.
4. Philosophy Skincare Intense Lip Therapy Kiss Me Tonight, £16 www.philosopyskincare.co.uk
This makes lips kissable, soft and thoroughly moisturised. It contains mango and shea butter to condition and buffs away any dryness. Plus a great barrier against harsh winter weather.
5. Marks & Spencer Florentyna Soap Roses Gift Set, £5 www.marksandspencer.com
We are happy just have this beautiful set on display but if you do want to use these soap roses then the gorgeous fragrances of gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley and orange blossom will waft your way.
6. Elizabeth Arden Pretty Body Powder with Puff, 100g, £28 www.johnlewis.com

8. L’Occitane 6-piece I Love My Hands Set, £36.27 www.qvcuk.com
A perfect gift as you get six different hand creams (30ml each) in varying fragrances including shea, cherry blossom and vanilla. One for the car, one for the bathroom, one for the bedroom…you get the idea.
9. Rituals Honey Touch Body Cream, 200ml, £13.50 www.johnlewis.com

10. SteamCream 3-in-1 Moisturiser Con Amore Tin, £10.50 www.asos.com
