Stupid Cupid,
Stop Picking On Me:
Written by Key Contributor Bradley Webber
It’s THAT time of year again… yes, that time of year! Some of us fear it rolling around, others relish in the over-the-top gift giving but one thing is for sure – romance is in the air and on our minds regardless of which side of the fence we’re resting on.
Now, that’s not to say that you need a significant other to feel or appreciate the love this Valentine’s Day, in fact, I would urge you to prioritise giving yourself love and grace this February, radiating that positivity outwards. It’s your greatest gift to yourself and the world around you, so if you’re one of the people celebrating this day with somebody else, they’ll be able to cherish that gift too!
Here’s our gift guide centred on gifts you can enjoy yourself, getting that self-care in action to have a relaxing and joyous night in with a movie and something delicious to eat, or to head out and meet that lucky sausage who gets to spend it with you…
- Muse Silky Sleek – We’re a sucker for a theme and think the appropriately named Icy Petal colour is the perfect colour for adding a little Valentine’s to your Winter hair! This playful style will set you miles apart from the crowd and pairs perfectly with cooler skin-tones (which most of us have during the depths of winter).
- Muse Breezy - Another item from the Muse collection in a colour that is bang-on theme as well as trend: Dusty Rose. This heat-resistant style can be adapted to work to any look you desire. We recommend pairing this one with your best ‘fit for a date night if one is on the cards!
- Eylure Pre-Glued Naturals – When it comes to lashes, for some the limit really does not exist, but if you’re looking to simply enhance that natural beauty this February then we have the perfect lashes for you! Pre-glued for ease of application, Eylure gives you the perfect flutter in a flash, without the hassle of handling glue. The new formula promises a full fifteen-hour wear! So these bad boys really can go all night…
- Bio Silk: Silk Pillowcase – whether you’re cosying down alone or with someone special this Valentine’s Day, do it in luxury and style with the Bio Silk silk pillowcase. This sumptuous slip of organically grown silk provides a beautiful sleep experience, keeping the skin cool and moisturised all night long. Not only that, but it is also crucial for those who sleep in any wig or hairpiece, allowing the hair to slide across the fabric without matting or friction frizz, prolonging your piece for longer. You don’t need to be waking up next to somebody else to wake up looking or feeling your best, throw this one in the basket and make it part of your self-care routine.
- Muse Lavish – Another great style from the Muse Collection, the Muse in the shade Dusty Rose is our top pick for this Valentine’s Day. The goddess-style locks can be styled curly (as they come) or straightened to give a sleek and shiny look.
- Muse Silky Sleek – Now we know we’ve already included this style but how could we not drop it in a second time in the Dusty Rose?!
- HairSpa – Now, I know I am supposed to write about the benefits of a cleaner scalp and fuller head of hair when it comes to this product and I will, but on a note more centred on vanity, if you’re looking for some extra volume in your natural bio hair, then grab hold of this gadget when washing! Whether the goal is to turn heads at the supermarket or on your date night, it is a little tip that I’ve picked up. The increased blood flow and cleaner scalp provides volume and lift.
Okay, now for the science - the red LED lights and rubber nodules clean the scalp deeper than the human hand using 2800 touches per minute. Stimulating 70 touch points on the scalp, increasing blood flow to the follicle and creating an ideal environment to grow stronger strands. You won’t regret incorporating this one into your self-care routine!
- Beatrice Turban: We are obsessed with the Beatrice Turban in the colourway 0796 from the House of Christine Headwear Autumn/Winter 22 offering. This chic and stylish piece is perfect for adding something extra special to your outfit this Valentine’s Day, whether staying inside or going out. The Christine Headwear collection offers the softest materials and is structured with your comfort in mind.
