Cupid’s Helper
I can’t believe I’m saying this... but... it’s almost Valentine’s Day!
In case you slept through the last month... we are well on our way to V-Day.
If you’re like me, you love flowers and candy and all of those traditional and romantic Heart Day gifts from your significant other.
But... the ACTUAL way to my heart is through MAKEUP!
Or maybe makeup AND chocolate... oh... and donuts.
Definitely donuts.
So, how do you let your Honeybun know exactly what you want this holiday?
Not to worry because ManicMakeupGirl is here with a post that you can easily share with your own personal Cupid so you will get exactly what your heart is longing for this Valentine’s Day!
Even if you don’t have a Valentine, these are awesome gifts to show yourself some self love (no need to drop a hint because who knows you better than yourself!?)
You guys just thought I was kidding about the donuts, right?
WRONG!
Give me a bouquet of donuts over real roses ANY. DAY.
If you’re over traditional and want something sweet and delicious, then your Valentine needs to check out this donut bouquet from Harry and David HERE! I mean... is there anything more beautiful!?
If you are truly, madly, and deeply in love with your guy... but also truly, madly, and deeply in love with makeup... then you NEED this Colourpop Eye Shadow Palette for V Day!
Not only is it gorgeous and wonderfully wearable year round, it is also named the “Truly Madly Deeply” palette. Heart day perfection! Send him a hint HERE!
Oh... and it’s only $23 for 16 beautiful shades! Swoon!
If pretty pink polish and a sweet candy treat is more your love language, then do I have the perfect gift for you! This Essie and Sugarfina collaboration is the perfect way to say, “I love you... You’re the best... Thinking of you... Best Friends Forever...” or whatever you want this Valentine’s Day. This is the most beautiful shade of pink nail polish and I love that they paired it with gummy sugar lip candies. So fun! Check it out HERE at Ulta for only $20!
If you don’t have a valentine this year I’m sure you need ZERO reminders about how amazing you are. After all, there is only one YOU in this universe (because two of you would just be too much awesomeness for the world to handle). So, why not treat yourself to the Ofra Cosmetics Me, Myself, and I liquid lipstick trio. It has three gorgeous shades in a deep vampy berry, a berry rose, and a mauve pink (basically any lip color you would ever need). And these liquid lipsticks are top notch! The perfect way to spoil yourself or someone you love! Grab them at Ulta HERE.
What is more traditional than a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day? I hate to admit it... but I’ve probably bought WAY more valentines chocolate for myself than for anyone else. Why is it SO GOOD!?
But, I have something better than snagging all the Russell Stovers Chocolate boxes for 75% off on February 15th! Meet the cult classic Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Shadow Palette! 16 beautiful matte and shimmer shades that... get this... SMELL LIKE CHOCOLATE!! I kid you not, this palette smells just like chocolate and has the prettiest shades for all eye colors. Go ahead and splurge on this one - there’s no calories!! HERE!
Little heart shaped makeup items for Valentine’s Day?
Cheesy?
Yes.
Adorable?
Also, yes.
This heart themed roundup has everything a girl could want to feel loved, pampered, and beautiful! I mean... who wouldn’t want that cute heart shaped foundation brush or a heart shaped lipstick!? I want them all!!!

Need to stop and smell the roses? Or do you want your sweetheart to? These delicate rose scented bath and body items are sure to fit the bill. I don’t know about you, but I love a nice long soak in the tub. The only way that gets any better is by adding bubble bath and moisturizing bath bombs. Seal in the relaxation and rose scent with The Body Shop’s British Rose Instant Glow Body Butter (it has a beautiful pearl shimmer finish to make you glow from head to toe).

If you want to LITERALLY stop and smell the roses but also want something more fun than the typical red dozen... I have two words for you.
Kaleidoscope roses.
Yes. These are real flowers.
Yes. These are as beautiful and cool looking in person as they are in the picture.
We have sent these roses to my mom, nana, and so many others because they are just stunning! Look at all those colors! Every time we send them to someone they get so many compliments on them. We have sent them for birthdays, holidays, and as thank you gifts many times. They are fun and so outside the realm of typical expected Valentine’s Day flowers.
My only piece of advice is to maybe send them BEFORE Valentine’s Day. That way the recipient can enjoy them on the holiday and shipping is also cheaper and you’ll beat the holiday rush. My poor husband has tried to send me flowers twice on Valentine’s Day and they never got delivered until the day after due to so many deliveries on V-Day.
So, put your own twist on traditional with these fun flowers (or send this to your Cupid so he can take a hint).

As much as I love makeup, being comfy and cozy is a close second. Nothing says “I love you” more than new soft pjs and slippers. Let’s be honest... being comfy is the best feeling in the whole wide world. My mom always gifted us new Valentine’s Day pajamas growing up and it has stuck with me through the years as a favorite gift to give and to get. I loved these LC Lauren Conrad heart pajama sets from Kohl’s. They are super soft and also super cute if you plan on staying in for V-Day! You also need those plush Sherpa slippers too! Your feet will thank me!

And what would be better to go with a new read than an adorable bookmark (HERE)!?
If the magical bean brew of life is your one true love (aka coffee)... these hilarious and sweet coffee mugs are the most perfect heart day gift. Throw in a Starbucks gift card and this gift is DONE! Perfect for telling your main squeeze how much you love them or for showing your BFF how much you care (about her caffeine fix). Funny coffee mugs make my whole day better. The little baby Yoda mug makes me smile and laugh. Isn’t baby Yoda the cutest thing ever!?
