Valentine’s Day is coming up! And whether you like the holiday or not, we just think it’s fun to embrace the pink and red products that seem to explode onto the scene during this time. Because, really, what’s cuter than a pink lipgloss or red nail, right? Up this week is our pink edition!


The Body Shop Peppermint Cooling Foot Lotion
It may seem like you don’t need a cooling lotion for your feet in the middle of winter, but we’re here to tell you this lotion ROCKS. We love the cooling properties and the zingy peppermint scent-and how great it makes our tootsies feel!
$16 at beauty.com

Sephora Pink Ombre Seamless Hair Ties
Perfect for everything from tying your hair back at the gym to creating a cool stack of bracelets on your arm!
$8.50 at sephora.com

Essie Luxeffects Glitter Top Coat in A Cut Above
If you’re looking for a true nail polish stunner, this is it. We love the various sizes of pink glitter within the clear base. And although it’s marketed as a top coat, we actually like to wear it on its own with two to three coats!
$8 at ulta.com

Kate Somerville EradiKate Acne Treatment
Want those pesky pimples to disappear? Dip a cotton swab into the pink sulfur-based solution and dab onto your problem spots. Head to bed, wake up and notice a vast difference! We swear!
$22 at sephora.com

CoverGirl Jumbo Gloss Balm in Watermelon Twist
The deep melon-pink hue is super flattering on a variety of skin tones, plus it’s super moisturizing!
$8.99 at walgreens.com


NARS Bouthan Eyeshadow Duo
We normally don’t think to put pink eyeshadow on our eyes, but in the case of these two stunners—one light pink, one darker pink with tons of shimmer—we’re making an exception.
$34 at narscosmetics.com

Willa Smile Butter in St. Tropez Strawberry
An ingenious design with a pop top, and it holds the most delicious strawberry lip balm with just the tiniest hint of tint.
$7.50 at drugstore.com

Weleda Wild Rose Smoothing Eye Cream
Relax those tired eyes with this nourishing cream, which smells fantastic and sinks in immediately.
$28.50 at weleda.com

Dior Cherie Bow Palette
We would love this for the chic packaging alone. It’s just a bonus that the interior is just as incredible. It includes three eyeshadows, a liner and—the piece de resistance—a sparkly lip balm behind a Dior-emblazoned door.
$80 at saks.com

The UNII Palette
Need a place to store all your loose shadows and blushes? This is the palette for you! We love the oversized mirror and the sparkly pink case.
$29 at uniicosmetics.com

Well, the fact that the temperature has been steadily dropping over the past couple weeks can only mean one thing: fall is upon us. But we’re actually extremely excited, not only because we can start wearing our cozy sweaters but because we can break out products in all the most delicious scents of the season. Check out our favorites.


Cranberry
Not just for Thanksgiving anymore! We love the berries’ rich red hue and the sweet yet tart scent.

June Jacobs Spa Collection Cranberry Body Balm
Dry, ashy skin? Not with this nourishing lotion by your side. Shea butter, jojoba and sunflower oils and soy extract work to condition even the driest skin.
$50 at beauty.com

The Body Shop Cranberry Joy Body Polish
Smooth out all the rough patches with this exfoliator. The scent is a bit on the fruitier side, so don’t overload.
$19 at thebodyshop.com

Lather Cranberry Sugar Rub
We can’t think of anything more blissful than rubbing this tub of cranberry goodness into our skin during a shower. It smells exactly like cranberry sauce.
$19 at lather.com


Pumpkin and Apple
Two of the scents that most identify with fall! We really want to go to a pumpkin patch and go apple picking now.

Slatkin & Co. Farmstand Apple Mini Candle
This candle seriously smells exactly like fresh-picked McIntosh apples. Really and truly.
$3.50 at bathandbodyworks.com

Lush Jacko Soak
Doesn’t this adorable soak just make you want to carve pumpkins now? We can’t guarantee that jack-o-lanterns are in your future, but this will definitely add some fuzzy goodness to your next bath.
$5.95 at lush.com

Bluewick Sweet Pumpkin Deco Cylinder
Luckily this candle has a burn time of up to 150 hours, because we’re planning on using it all fall (and winter) long.
$35 at bluewick.com


Vanilla and Brown Sugar
What would fall be without a little sweetness in the kitchen—or, in this case, in the product closet?

Method Orla Kiely Vanilla Chai Naturally Derived Hand Wash
We’re suckers for anything vanilla, and this almost cures our craving for Starbucks. Almost. Plus, we love the packaging.
$3.99 at methodhome.com

Fresh Brown Sugar Eau de Parfum
We love brown sugar, and the sweet yet not cloying scent of this fragrance. Plus, it’s better to wear it than to eat it! (At least by calorie counting’s standards.)
$38 at barneys.com

Every year, dozens upon dozens of beauty companies band together in the fight against breast cancer. They each donate a portion of proceeds from the sale of products that month toward fighting the terrible disease. Some are existing products; others, products created specifically for this purpose. In any case, every little bit helps and we’re proud to do our part in the fight. Below, the five products we urge you to buy this month.

Clinique Pink With A Purpose
An exclusive shade of Clinique’s best-selling Chubby Stick, the pretty-as-a-picture Plumped Up Pink, comes with its very own miniature makeup bag.
$16 at clinique.com. $3 from each one sold will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

La Mer The Hand Treatment
One of our favorite hand creams of all time, thanks to the fact that it makes skin feel like silk. And this month, it’s even more prudent to purchase.
$75 at lamer.com. $10 from each one sold will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Orly Be Brave Nail Lacquer
Part of Orly’s Pretty in Pink collection, this nail polish comes complete with a BCA ribbon charm and is made up of pink holographic bar glitter suspended in a clear base. It’s best layered over a solid cream, but it’s definitely guaranteed to make people stop and stare.
$10 at orlybeauty.com. 20 percent of proceeds will be donated to Cancer Schmancer.

Sonia Kashuk Proudly Pink Brush Set
Five makeup brushes (powder/blush, concealer, eyeshadow, crease and eyeliner), plus a pretty silver pink carrying case. What’s not to love?
$15.99 at target.com. 15 percent of proceeds will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Nails Inc. Pinkie Pink
A multitude of pink sparkles that applies almost completely opaque in just one coat—and looks like jewelry. Be forewarned: the polish does apply on the rough side, so it’s best to use topcoat for a less gritty texture.
$9.50 at sephora.com. $1 from each one sold will be donated to the Breast Cancer Campaign.
