Zeno Hot Spot
It happens to the best of us. One minute your face is clean and clear. The next…acne appears! What do you do with days, or even hours, to spare before Valentine’s Day? Zap that zit with the Zeno Hot Spot. It’s an FDA approved, over the counter, blemish-clearing breakthrough. When we read about this pocket-sized device, it almost sounded too good to be true: some users saw visible results within one hour! It also claims to eliminate or significantly reduce 90% of blemishes within 24 hours. We were actually a bit excited when a pimple popped up. (Shhhh)

Here’s how it works. Turn the device on and hold the treatment tip to the affected area for two and a half minutes. (It’s light, so your arm won’t hurt. Promise.) Every 30 seconds, the Hot Spot will beep. That way, you can keep tabs on how much time is left. As the clock ticks, a gentle heat will kill the bacteria that causes pimples in the first place. BAM!
We never felt a burning sensation on our skin. The treatment tip was always a very comfortable temperature. And when it came to zits, we did see a difference! In fact, the Zeno Hot Spot cleared up most mild blemishes in just one day. Spot treat early and you may only need to use the device once, as opposed to two or three times per pimple! Plus, at $39.99, it costs much less than many other pricey beauty treatments out there. The results will be different for everyone, but the Zeno makes us feel like superheroes in the fight against acne.

philosophy flirty girl set
Our philosophy is simple: a fabulous shower or bath, with a set of rich and moisturizing beauty products, is the perfect pick-me-up in the morning!
On Valentine’s Day, unleash your inner flirty girl with philosophy’s flirty girl set. From the cute-as-pie packaging to the pink, bubble gum colored products…we just want to blow kisses at this trio of goodies!

Open the box to find a 3-in-one shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath, as well as body lotion and high-shine lip gloss. Its sweet, candy scent is soft, but not overpowering.
We used flirty girl in our hair and on our skin. The lather was luxurious. By applying the lotion afterward, we locked in the flirty fragrance for hours. Plus, it left our skin feeling silky smooth…not greasy! If you’re looking for just a hint of pink tint on your lips, this high shine lip gloss will be a staple in your beauty bag. We loved using it alone for a glittery-glamour boost, but also layered it over lipstick for some added shine. MWAH!

hairdo by Ken Paves & Jessica Simpson 18" Pony Tail
Who says come-hither hair has to take hours? Pull your strands back in a pony and pull together any Valentine’s outfit in an instant.
Many of us would love to have a long, poufy pony, but it isn’t always easy to grow out your mane! Clip in this hairdo 18” ponytail by Ken Paves & Jessica Simpson and add volume to your locks in minutes flat.

Simply slide the hairdo comb into the top of your own ponytail and wrap the extra section of hair around the top. You can even style the clip-in by curling or crimping it. If it’s too long…cut it! You are the stylist!
The best part? Hairdo cut down our beauty routine! We are used to drying and straightening our hair. This can take up to 30 minutes. We clipped the comb in when our hair was still wet and let it dry naturally. (Now, we can really let our mane heal and grow!)
The hairdo we tried is synthetic, but truly looks real. The key is taking care of it. It’s important to brush it out a few times during the day, as well as when you take it out at night. Also, store it somewhere safe. (Like the handy dandy netting it comes with.) The more we wear the hair, the more we notice pieces falling out, but that comes with the territory. It still looks fabulous and is definitely a DO in our beauty book!

Part makeup kit, part media player and speaker system, it will help get you “into the groove” while you’re getting ready. Here’s how it works: Go to StilaBeautyTube.com to download free makeup lessons onto your media player (Blackberry, iPod, iPhone…you name it). Dock your device in the kit, press play and follow the “get glam” tips and tricks. It’s like having a personal makeup artist at your beck and call.

Tarte Natural Lip Stain With Lipsurgence Technology:
Just in time for Valentine’s Day comes Natural Lip Stain with LipSurgence™ Technology. Give your lips a pop of color with one of 6 peppermint infused shades ranging from bright pink to deep berry. Tarte says these slim sticks are clinically proven to increase lips’ moisture content by 6000%.

We went straight to Sephora to try every single shade of this brand new chubby stick. Our favorite? Moody. This deep berry shade looks much lighter on our lips. We can even wear it at the office. Overall, the pencils are thick and easy to grip, making it easy to apply the color with precision. The actual formula feels like silk.
PS: Don’t let the word “stain” scare you. The color sticks, but can easily be wiped off.

Miss Oops Pucker Protector
Miss Oops is known for its beauty-saving, problem-saving products. The Pucker Protector is a gloss. No, wait, it’s a balm. No, wait, it’s a breath freshener. OK. It’s all three rolled into one! This amazing, gel-like lip topper feels like first aid on your lips. Packed with moisturizing petroleum and sunscreen, it will sooth and smooth dry, flaky areas and give your kisser a faboo shine. Wear it alone, or layer it over your favorite shade.

The minty scent is a total bonus. We like to describe it as a stick of gum on our lips, not for its consistency, but for how “fresh” it makes our mouths feel. Try it once and you’ll understand why!

Killer Kushionz
Strutting in stilettos is a great way to show off a killer set of legs, but it can also give you killer leg pain. On Valentine’s Day, soften your step with Killer Kushionz by Foot Petals. They’re super thin and can be placed in heels, flats, open toe shoes…even sandals. A sticky strip on the back guarantees a snug fit.

I wore Killer Kushionz in a pair of black patent leather peep toes. They were thin enough that they didn’t show, but large enough to make each step a little more comfortable. My feet were still sore at the end of the night, but not nearly as sore as they would have been without that extra padding!
Price: $12.95 – $34.95 on FootPetals.com
Godiva Strawberry Rose Scented Candle
A chocolate covered strawberry on Valentine’s Day? Yes, please!
We all know Godiva’s sweet treats are mouth watering, but did you know that the chocolatier also creates candles? Set the mood with the company’s Strawberry Rose Scented Candle. Once you light the wick, it only takes a minute for the romantic fragrance to begin to fill the room. Sweet, ripe strawberries. Milk chocolate. A bouquet of roses. Need we say more?

The red candle and thick glass jar make for the perfect gift…for yourself or your sweetheart. The metallic box is splattered with hearts, so no wrapping needed.
This weekend, this candle is perfect for the bedroom. After Valentine’s Day, use it to cozy-up the kitchen, the family room…even the bathroom! Warning: It may make you crave dessert.
