1. You’re Blushing

Sweethearts Blush

I’m not blushing, you’re blushing! Or, at least you will be when you swipe on some of this rosy rouge from cruelty-free beauty brand, Too Faced. Packed neatly in a sweet, heart-shaped compact, you’ll enjoy using each of the three colors individually, or mixing them to create a flattering, multidimensional cheek flush. The adorable heart shape doesn’t hurt either! Priced at $33.

2. Coming Up Roses

Rose Bath Bomb

You da bomb, baby, so take a bath like the diva you are by tossing in this gorgeous, oversized rose fizzer and watching it fill your tub with yellow rose petals, nourishing oils, mineral-rich sea salt, and your senses with perfumes of rose and lemon. Great for putting you in a relaxed mood, we’d suggest pairing this oversized bath bomb with a nice glass of wine. Priced at $19.95.  

3. Polished to Perfection

Miami Deco Nail Trio

Customize everything from the box to the contents with this trio set from vegan and cruelty-free nail lacquer brand, Miami Deco. With beautifully designed bottles and gorgeous colors, you’ll want to keep these on display. Not only that, but we’re kind loving the names of some of these polishes, especially Boy Bye, Male Tears, and Don’t Call Me Baby Girl. Priced at $28.50.

4. You Are Loved

You Are Loved Set

This sweet boxed set from Olivine Atelier includes two of the most popular beauty products from the shop. The Love + Roses is a hydrating and refreshing mist that’s made from rose essential oils and an array of other beneficial extracts that make up the “unparalleled emollient, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits.” The second item in the box, Love + Salt is a beach mist that will help you achieve those perfect, beachy waves no matter the time of year or circumstance. Priced at $28.

5. Ready to Roll

Rose Quartz Rollers

This useful and luxurious tool is the perfect addition to everyone’s beauty kit.
