Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and there’s no better way to show that special someone how much you care than with a personalised romantic gift. We totally get how choosing a gift for her can give some of you sleepless nights. If you’re truly at your wits’ end, we have a list of Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her you can easily choose from to make this Valentine’s Day totally special.

Valentine Gift Ideas for Her

1) Funky gift items

From muti-coloured textured shorts to phone covers and funky tees, you can impress your girl with these little gifts packed in cute and quirky boxes. Trust us, she’ll be amazed at your ability to break away from clichéd gifts while maintaining the traditional romance of a day such as this. Brands like ‘Chumbak’, ‘Happily Unmarried’ and ‘Quirk Box’ offer a great variety of many such items.

2) Makeup

To say that “women like makeup” is as big an understatement as “the Eiffel Tower is a tall building”. That’s right… women LOVE makeup! Adore it! Cherish it! Nothing will make your girlfriend let out a squeal of excitement like lipsticks, blushers, eye colours or her favourite nail paints. If you don’t know what to choose, buy a customised makeup basket that has a little of everything. You can order these online from websites like nykaa.com or walk in to a Sephora store!

3) Hand-make your gifts

If these Valentine’s Day gift ideas for her are not making the cut for you then try hand-making your gift. Make a card, bake a cake or gift her a photo frame with pictures capturing your favourite moments together. If you feel none of these will please her, YouTube has a variety of DIY videos to help you out.

4) Gadgets

If you know she’s been pining to upgrade her phone, this is the perfect time to indulge her. Regardless of your budget, the market is flooded with a plethora of smartphones and tablets that you can choose from. Think iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, iPad mini or newer entrants like Xiaomi. Step into stores like Croma, Jumbo Electronics and Reliance Digital and pick the one you think will please her the most.

5) Jewellery

Sweep her off her feet with a bag full of handpicked accessories like neck pieces, bracelets, earrings and rings. Forever 21, Accessorize, Claire’s, Aldo, Zara are the stores you need to go to if you want to win her over all over again! If you feel you don’t understand your girlfriend’s taste when it comes to accessories, stick to neutral colours like beige, white, gold or blush as these go perfectly with almost everything.

6) Watches

Another Valentine gift idea for her is a wrist candy. Beautiful time pieces never go out of fashion. Pick a piece from Tissot, Longines, Cartier, Omega or Fossil and you’ll have a happy girlfriend for a long, long time.

If your plan this Valentine’s Day is to remind her how much you love her and care for her, the best way is to bundle up one of these lovely presents with some old-school romance. Flowers, chocolates and a dinner date in a candlelit restaurant should do wonders! Remember how special she makes you feel all the time, now it’s your turn!

3 face primers in the Indian market that you must try!

The new essential in your makeup kit is a face primer. For those of you who are not aware of the importance of a primer, it’s the new step that is followed by the age-old regime of CTM (Cleansing, Toning and Moisturizing). Not only does a primer hold your makeup for a long time, it preps your skin for absorbing makeup, minimises pores and fine lines and acts as a protective layer between your skin and your foundation. Here are three face primers in India that you must try.

If you need to learn how to apply a face primer, here’s our favourite (very simple and easy) Youtube tutorial by BlushBeautyTutor;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrUiHLQM478

#1 L’oreal Paris Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer

Recommended for oily skin, the ‘L’oreal Paris Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer’ has a mattifying effect. It takes away any signs of oiliness, fine lines and pores like magic. It has a slightly rosy shade that covers imperfections and gives a perfect base for your foundation coverage

#2 Benefit The Porefessional

Benefit Cosmetics’ ‘The Porefessional’ is best suited for women with large pores. This oil-free primer with Vitamin E extracts minimises the appearance of pores and leaves the skin feeling silky and smooth. It also holds your makeup together for a very long time.

Benefit The Porefessional is one of the good face primers in India available at Sephora stores. If you are lazy to go to a story you can also get it online on www.eBay.in by following this link http://goo.gl/9byvmK

#3 Revlon PhotoReady Perfecting Primer

Revlon Photoready Perfecting Primer is a light-weight product, good for everyday use. For people with acne-prone skin this primer’s creamy tint covers blotchiness and redness perfectly. It also controls oil and refines skin texture. You need to allow two-three minutes for this product to settle into the skin and it’ll keep your makeup on perfectly for around six hours (on a greasy summer day).

5 products that you must have to get through your NYE celebration!

It’s that time again when all you can think of is ushering in the New Year with your friends and family. All that planning can get hectic, but what’s worse is waking up on the first day of a fresh year feeling like a hung-over mess with no way to make contact with the real world! Here’s a list of essentials that you must keep with you when you step out at night on the 31^st of December.

#1 A Power Bank

After all those midnight calls and the drunken charades the last thing you need is your phone running out of battery. Always always carry a power bank to keep your phone alive just in case you need to reach out to your friends or family or for all those first-day-of-the-year selfies.

#2 A pair of comfy shoes

Now we are not suggesting you keep an extra pair of shoes in your handbag but do keep an extra pair of flat or comfy (for the men) shoes in the back of your car. New Year’s Eve parties can get really long and tiring and changing into a comfortable pair of shoes towards the end just makes life so much easier.

#3 Cash

Plastic money is safe yes, but converting your plastic money to cash at the time of an emergency is not an easy task. While going out for a New Year’s Eve party, do carry extra cash just in case you need a cab or a home safe driver or to help out a friend in need.

#4 Tissues (Lots and lots of them)

f you’re confident that you will not get sick drunk, it’s very good! However, chances are that one of your friends might. In such a scenario, do keep extra tissues handy for cleaning the mess outside, inside the car or at someone’s place.

#5 An extra bottle of Vodka

Ok, now that we’ve got all the serious stuff in place, make sure you keep an extra bottle of your favourite poison for the oh-my-god-alcohol-is-over moment. This is your chance to be the hero of the party by rescuing your angry drunk friends out of their misery.
