| Back in the old days, Valentines Day was about getting long stemmed red roses, heart shaped chocolates, diamond rings, satin lingerie, etc. Can we say how cliché!?!?!?! Not that there’s anything wrong with the shiny pricey stuff, but hey its 2010! Let’s face it people- if you’ve only been dating someone for a short while, it might be a little extreme to expect a huge engagement ring or diamonds and pearls laced with rose petals from Cupid! C’mon ladies we’ve got great careers, we are educated, and heck some of us got much higher paying jobs then the opposite sex! We are very capable of being strong, intelligent, beautiful, sexy, and sweet all at the same time. It’s nice to have someone spoil you but it’s even sweeter to spoil ourselves on any given day. But this doesn’t mean you can’t look like a million bucks on while you’re out on the town whether it is with your single peeps or your honey.
Here are some simple beauty tips and fashion picks that I’d love to share with you as you get ready to celebrate the Modern Day of Romance!
<3 Be RED HOT. The perfect red lipstick is as essential as the little black dress. Use a lip brush to avoid the color from bleeding out, that’s definitely not sexy. Always, always make sure lips are smooth before applying any lip color. “Love that Red” by Revlon $8 drugstores
<3 Slap on the gloss. The shine draws attention to kissable lips. Pro make up trick: Gloss the center of your lips to make them appear extra pouty. I recommend lip venom from Sephora, it’s got a kick to it but I swear it works wonders!!! “Lip Venom” by DuWop. Sephora $16
<3 Add Sparkle & Glow. Shimmer body lotion gives skin a warm, inviting glow. Smooth it onto legs instead of wearing tights. I love this shimmer milk-and honey fragrance. Midnight Cowboy Body Shimmer Lotion by Urban Decay. Sephora $28
<3 Intimate wear. This is where you can get creative as you like and have fun with it! You can go sweet and innocent, or racy “in -your -face” seductive but both are just as sexy! It all depends on your personality and how comfortable you feel “strutting your stuff” in your unmentionables. For those on the conservative side, you can never go wrong with the 2 piece chemise sets, these are always cute comfy and sexy and is the most flattering for different body types.
