Valentine's Day has always been one of my very favorite holidays! Growing up my mom would deliver a dozen pink roses to me and my sister while we were at school and after, we would come home to a box full of chocolate covered strawberries! Drew has been my 'valentine' for the last 5 years and he always has a way of making it so special, just like my mom did when I was younger.
This year I'm going to be in NYC over Valentine's Day so Drew and I decided to celebrate early! Before each V-Day rolls around, I try to plan out my beauty look a few days prior because I think every woman (myself included) wants to look and feel amazing on the most romantic day of the year!
For our date, I wanted a soft and romantic feel to my makeup that looked fresh and natural so I stopped into the Nordstrom beauty department to grab a few products to complete my beauty look. I went with a plum smokey eye and a soft pink lip.
If you're in need of make-up ideas for your date, below are my 5 Valentine's Day beauty must-haves...
1. Soft pink gloss {I'm wearing Giorgia Armani Flash Gloss #526}
2. Smokey eye palette {I'm wearing Guerlain Eyeshadow Palette #17}
3. Pink blush {I'm wearing NARS Gaitey}
4. Shimmer highlighter {I'm wearing Reckless by NARS}
5. A feminine perfume {I'm wearing English Pear and Freesia}
xo, Rach
