5 Ways to Dazzle Your Valentine

5 Ways to Dazzle Your Valentine

1. Shimmer and Shine
For a radiant, beautiful sparkle, tap this magical “powder puff on a stick” along your decolletage. Bella IL Fiore’s Shimmer Powder Puff ($14; http://www.UniqueVintage.com) is filled with glistening gold body powder. He won’t be able to keep his hands off!

2. Up Your Batting Average
To perfect your come-hither glances, create long, luscious lashes with Besame Cosmetics Gingerbread Black Mascara ($16; http://www.UniqueVintage.com). Rich and velvety, this luxurious formula is strong in pigment, water resistant, and protein enriched. The mascara wand separates and lengthens each last and doesn’t clump. The vintage gold cases are decorated with Besame’s signature chrysanthemums.

3. Dramatize Your Eyes
Nothing adds sex appeal to your gaze like a perfectly lined eyelid. It lifts your entire eye and adds definition to your face. Ooh La La Liner in Noir by Bella IL Fiore ($14; http://www.UniqueVintage.com) offers precise coloring in the lines thanks to a handy click-pen, smudge tip and hidden sharpener.

4. Get Cheeky
Recreate that “first kiss flush”! Swipe Besame’s Crimson Cream Rouge ($22; http://www.UniqueVintage.com) along the apples of your cheeks with your fingertips and you’ll be beaming with an instant rosy, natural glow. The weightless formula blends beautifully with any skin tone. Packaged in a vintage styled recyclable tin.

5. Pucker Up
For an irresistible set of smackers, showcase your smile with a classic semi-matte red lipstick by Besame. Their Classic Color Lipstick Collection ($22 each; http://www.UniqueVintage.com) contains a variety of reds perfect to suit any skin type. All formulas are highly pigmented to be used as full strength or as a stain for a more natural look. Besame’s silky semi-matte finish glides on smooth for an indelible, feather-proof look. All lipsticks are housed in a petite size 1940′s style gold bullet casing.
