It's time to talk about purple! It might not be the first color on your mind when you think of Valentine's Day but I still think it fits the occasion - putting a little twist on wearing pink. I once heard somebody say 'purple is the grown-up version of pink' and whether you are a grown-up or not I still think purple is is a great alternative to the more obvious choice of pink for this time of the year.
Balea Shaving Gel Blueberry Love: I am pretty sure this is up there with my top 5 most repurchased products of all time. I always use shaving creme and this is by far my favorite one! The scent and the packaging are amazing and it works really well. Are there limited edition Valentine's Day shaving cremes out there?
Manhattan Nail Polish 96E: Taupe with purple undertones - that is my favorite shade of taupe. The purple undertones keep the color from looking dirty or muddy (in my eyes). Nail polishes like this are a great subtle way to do Valentine's Day colors in a more neutral way.
essence Bloom Me Up! Eyelash Curler 01 Lovely Lavender: Using an eyelash curler makes a bigger difference in your lashes than you'd think. This specific one is really pretty and works really well with my lashes. I had another one by ebelin before but that one did not work for me. I got this eyelash curler from a limited edtion but essence has included this product in their regular range of tools.
Sleek i Divine Eye Shadow Palette Au Naturel 601: Of course you can also do purple on your eyes. I am a friend of more neutral shades when it comes to eye shadow. When I do color I do a dark crease shade most of the time. That is what I like these dark, mat purple shadows for.
essence Nail Polish The Darks 16 Well Plum!: If you are not in the mood t go for pastel lavender - why not go for deep dark purple? I do have to admit this is not a perfect nail polish but if you know of a long-lasting, almost black dark purple nail polish alternative - please tell me! Maybe you already have one in your collection?
Urban Decay Primer Potion: This is an all time favorite of mine. It is another one of those products that is generally good for every season but that does not mean I enjoy the packaging even more this time of the year.
Garnier Eye-Make-Up Remover 2-in-1: This is a new discovery from 2015. Obviously this is not just a great product for February but all year around. I can generally recommend this eye-make-up remover for waterproof eye-make-up, so if you are looking forward to adding a little purple to your everyday routine without adding unnecessary products to your collection this seems to me like a good alternative.
Catrice Absolute Eye Shadow 260 I Am A Coal-Girl: This is another example of a dark purple shade I would wear in my crease. This eye shadow by Catrice is no longer available but there are a lot of other shades like this you ca get in the drugstore.
Catrice Ultimate Nail Lacquer 55 Get The Blues: This is a wonderful blue and purple duochrome nail polish. It is not your typical Valentine's Day color and definitely a little darker than you would expect - but maybe that is the perfect balance for an otherwise very light and romantic look?
L'oréal Nude Magique Eau De Teint 120 Pure Ivory: I was debating about including this in here. I hardly ever wear foundation and there is one simply reason for it: I cannot get anything light enough for my skin tone. I have had this product in my collection for a long time now and I think I want to try it again. I did not really get a chance to test it because when I treid it out it was clear that it was way to dark for me. I will probably have to wait until summer to try it (maybe I will get a tan this year...?) but maybe there are foundations in your collection you should give a second chance as well?
What are your favorite purple products for Valentine's Day?
