February 14th is a day you often dread - we all do, no matter if we’re single or are head-over-heels in love. Why do we need another day to buy gifts for anyone else? C’mon, we’re just recovering from paying our credit card bills from Christmas!! So, I say abandon the gifting and give to yourself.

If you missed out on our holiday contest and giveaway, don’t worry because here are a few of The Daily Cookie’s favorite gifts to give yourself for Valentine’s Day:

Pink to Please a Woman… Gold to Get the Guy! Benefit’s new pink and gold face palette ($30 US) for spring includes three gorgeous, neutral eye colors and three lip creams to complement.

Lash Power Mascara - Your man may not be long-term relationship material, but that doesn’t mean your mascara has to let you down either. Clinique has a new long-wearing mascara formula that vows to stay pretty on you and not smudge or smear if you get teary-eyed when your boyfriend forgets Valentine’s Day. So for $14 a pop, get something on V-Day you can rely on.

Clinique Happy Custom Fragrance Bottle ($52 US) - This in itself is absolutely adorable and would make me happy if I saw it atop my vanity everyday. Put a picture of you (I know you’re a narcissist too), or one of you and your Big Daddy. If you’re single and lovin’ it, maybe a snapshot of your cute lil’ pup will make you just as Happy.

Or follow Lancôme⿿s Girls’ Guide to a Fabulous Kiss in these beautiful lip colors: New Year’s Resolution, Work It!, Hot Nights, Cocktail Dress, Ruffles, Red Stiletto, Midnight Affair. It’s all you need to smooch it up with your man or blow kisses to that cute boy across the bar as you’re sitting with your friends banning Valentine’s Day this year.
