Love is in the air, yes, Valentine’s Day is almost upon us. The most romantic day of the year, us girls expect to be showered with compliments, gifts and kisses. So whether you need Valentine-spiration for the perfect present for that special someone or you’re simply on the look-out for those blissful beauty buys that will transform you into a princess for the big night, here’s a list of the top ten Valentine’s Day products we’re lusting after this month.

1. Rose Eau de Parfum (£38 per 50ml) by Paul Smith

Forget the overpriced bouquet of roses this year and get your hands on this exquisite floral fragrance that will linger long after your red roses start wilting. Blended with Turkish rose oil and green tea, Rose by Paul Smith is modern, memorable, sweet and sensual and guaranteed to keep love alive.

2. Finding Mr Bright (£28.50) by Benefit

Who needs Mr Right when you can achieve loved-up, luminous radiance all by yourself with the help of this brightening make-up manual from Benefit. Complete with beauty tips and a step-by-step tutorial, this hot pink keepsake kit is love at first bright!

3. Valentine Collection (£25) by Nails Inc.

With four best selling glossy varnishes, this luxurious collection makes the perfect gift that suits any mood. If you’re feeling soft and dewy, paint your nails with nude, natural pink South Molton Street. Or, for a red- hot date, go for the deep, rich tones of Tate.

4. Touch of Pink Eau de Toilette (£24 per 30ml) by Lacoste

Feminine, youthful and pretty in pink, you can’t go wrong with this iconic fragrance by Lacoste. The perfect daytime scent, Touch of Pink radiates soft, delicate notes that linger throughout the day.

5. Hervana Face Powder (£23.50) by Benefit

Released just in time for Valentine’s Day, we are super excited about Benefit’s latest cutesy face powder. With four gorgeous shades of divine peach, lucky shell, heavenly rose and berry delight, this blush is a spring blossom must-have and a Valentine’s keeper.

6. Sweet Talk Gift Set (£22) by Philosophy

Featuring divine smelling candy heart shampoo, bubble bath, body lotion and lip gloss, this beautifully packaged beauty gift set will have you and your valentine whispering sweet nothings before you know it.

7. Rouge in Love (£21) by Lancôme

Lancôme’s stunning new Rouge in Love lip colour range is feather light and flawless, providing up to 6 hours of pout perfect wear. Rouge Valentine is the ultimate V-Day shade and our personal favourite. Wear it with pride and don’t break too many hearts!

8. Happy Heart Body Wash (£20.50) by Clinique

Lightly scented with the romantic, floral tones of Clinque’s Happy Heart fragrance, this body wash will leave you with a warm glow once you get out of the shower. Beautiful, fresh and charming.

9. Chocomania Body Butter (£9) by The Body Shop

Give calorific chocolates a miss and opt for The Body Shop’s newest and sweetest edition to their much loved body butter range. Chocomania is decadently rich and skin sweet with an indulgent chocolate scent that smells good enough to eat.

10. Sweetheart Soap (£3) by Lush

This deliciously creamy, sweet smelling soap from Lush is a darling little gift for your valentine. At just £3 a pop, there’s no excuse not to treat your valentine, best friend or even yourself to some candy pink, clean romance.
