By Southern Living
Sephora
One of the most romantic days of the entire year is right around the corner. And because we Southern women take our beauty routine pretty seriously, why not show yourself some love this year by adding a beauty gift to your Valentine’s Day wish list? Unlike a box of chocolates that pack on unwanted pounds or roses that wilt and die, beauty products last a whole lot longer and deliver life-changing results. Whether you’re celebrating being your own Valentine this year, treating your best friend for Galentine’s Day, or searching for the perfect lipstick and mascara to hint to your loved one, these gifts are Cupid-approved. Since you can’t put a price tag on love (or happiness), this collection also boasts budget-friendly finds for your face, body, skin, and hair. Roses are red, violets are blue—here are 11 swoon-worthy beauty gifts to say "I love you."
