Valentine’s Day isn’t for everyone, but charming the literal or figurative pants off people with thoughtful or overwhelmingly extravagant gifts is an evergreen activity. 

Throw out your chocolates and teddy bears because in 2024, Valentine’s Day isn’t all about sweet nothings. Whether you’re in a couple, ethically non-monogamous, un-ethically non-monogamous, or want to treat a friend who’s done you a solid, giving a well-timed Valentine’s Day beauty gift can say “I love you,” “I messed up,” or simply “you’re a legend, I couldn’t function without you,” without actually requiring you to say a thing. 

Ahead, find our top Valentine’s Day picks, at every price point.

Lush, Sex Bomb

Want to say, “I want to spend more time in the bath with you,” but can’t quite find the words? With creamy musk, ylang ylang, and jasmine, Lush, Sex Bomb Bath Bomb ($9) should do the trick. Want more options? Pick up the Lush, Blooming Beautiful Trio ($25) a Valentine’s Day special that comes with three of the brand’s best-selling bath bombs.

Fresh, Sugar Watermelon Hydrating Lip Balm

With super fine fruit oils, from grapeseed to blackcurrant, Fresh lip balms soothe chapped lips without leaving a sticky or greasy finish. Pick up the Fresh, Sugar Watermelon Hydrating Lip Balm ($29) for a melt-in-your-mouth flavour and an equally juicy pout. Cute for a Valentine’s Day gift and cute for you.

Princess Polly, Linney Hair Bow in Pink

Balletcore is trending so let your mates in on the fun, flirty Black Swan energy with this super sweet Princess Polly, Linney Hair Bow in “Pink” ($19).

Peppy Co, 2-in-1 Wireless Electric Shaver

While we fully support going au natural, the Peppy Co, 2-in-1 Wireless Electric Shaver (was $89, now $69) is perfect for those amongst us who feel best with smooth skin. Designed with sensitive skin in mind, this electric shaver is perfect for pre-date and comes bikini attachment for your most intimate moments. Waterproof with five hours of charge, this is also a great travel option for a romantic Valentine’s day getaway.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 EDP

There’s nothing quite as sexy and timeless as an incredibly expensive item everybody wants and few can afford. Maison Francis Kurkdijian, Baccarat Rouge 540 ($369), the most mentioned fragrance on social media in 2022, fits the bill, figuratively and literally. This iconic scent has a seductive blend of jasmine, saffron, and ambergris to thank for its universal desirability. One spritz will cloak your loved one in velvety warmth and get you an instant gold tick from anyone with a MECCA Beauty Loop account. Michael Clark will be picking up one of these for Jade Yarbrough and Pip Edwards. 

Dyson, Airwrap Hair Multi-Styler

Object of your affection has hair? Then they’ll love the Dyson, Airwrap Hair Multi-Styler (now, $799, was $949), and we can almost guarantee they won’t have picked one up for themselves. The six-attachment swiss-army-knife hair device will keep your loved ones’ locks on point, and you in their good books for years to come.

Les Mains Hermès, Nail Enamel in Rouge Pigment

Channel #rednailtheory by picking up a bottle of Hermès, Nail Enamel in “66 Rouge Pigment” ($78) for your loved ones. While BeautyTok’s assertion that red nails trigger a chronic oedipal response in men is currently unsupported by peer-reviewed studies, fire engine red is deeply chic and very sexy! Plus, Hermès beauty products, designed by Pierre Hardy, are so aesthetic they’re basically Objet d’art.

The Beauty Fridge

Practical perfection The Beauty Fridge ($220) is an investment in your loved ones’ skin and skincare routine. Consider it gifted insurance if they’re already blowing their budget on products like Skinceuticals, CE Ferulic ($242). Featuring a deluxe 10-litre storage space, the mini-refrigerator keeps low-temp beauty products nice and cool.

Rare Beauty, Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in “Happy”

A cool-toned pink with a dewy, fresh finish, Rare Beauty, Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in “Happy” ($45) gives an innocent flush, whatever you’re up to.

Benefit, Benetint Cheek & Lip Tint

Gift recipient inclined to a less innocent flush? Pick up Benefit, Benetint Cheek & Lip Tint ($38), a raspberry-hued stain with pedigree. Originally created in the 1970s for dancers who wanted to make their nipples “more conspicuous” while on the job, the watery raspberry liquid was picked up by makeup artists like Kevyn Aucoin. Pro-MUAs couldn’t get enough of the just-bitten, natural colour the potion gave models and the tint became a cult classic. Think of it as “Happy”‘s more versatile sister and apply it anywhere, as needed.

Coco de Mer, Roseravished Massage Candle

For use alone or with friends Coco de Mer, Roseravished Massage Candle ($80) is the chicest massage candle we’ve come across (in what is, admittedly, an aesthetically challenged category). With notes of rose and sandalwood, Roseravished comes with a fit-for-purpose serving spoon for those interested in covering themselves, or someone else, in hot, emollient wax. Alternatively, your gift recipient can light it, enjoy the soothing and stimulating notes of rosemary, pepper, patchouli, and sandalwood and crack open their Kindle. No pressure.

Aromatherapy Associates, Ultimate Wellbeing Bath & Shower Oil Collection 

There’s no easy way to tell someone you love to chill out, but there is a luxurious way with Aromatherapy Associates, Ultimate Wellbeing Bath & Shower Oil Collection ($132.40). Here 10 vials of therapeutic bath and shower oils are categorised under “relax”, “de-stress”, “revive”, “support”, and “inner strength” for boujee subliminal messaging. In the event they don’t take the hint, you’ll still have seriously upgraded their daily bathtime routine and they’ll love you for it, which is ultimately the aim of the game.

Charlotte Tilbury, Limited Edition Matte Revolution Lipstick in “Blossom Red”

Nothing gets beauty lovers excited like scarcity, and Charlotte Tilbury’s limited edition drops get every makeup collector’s heart racing. Matte Revolution Lipstick in “Blossom Red” ($58) is an earthy, rose petal crimson packaged in a sleek, scarlet embossed bullet. This universally flattering shade has been dropped just in time for Lunar New Year and Valentine’s Day, and is a little bit of luxury that tells them you have their best beauty interests at heart.
