Valentine's Day is a curse and a blessing; I love being surrounded by delicate truffles, peppermint bark and hot chocolate treats, but I hate what they do to my waistline!

Get your fill of chocolate treats with Philip B's Chocolicious V--Day Gift Set, which includes Chocolate Milk Body Wash and Chocolate Milk Body Creme.

CHOCOLATE MILK BODY WASH

Who doesn't love chocolate milk? Throw me some graham crackers and I'd be back at snack time, I wish we had snack time at work...

This mouth-watering chocolate-scented body wash cleanses the skin and leaves you with a light coco scent. This rich bubbly body wash is made up of cocoa butter, oat protein and wheat amino acids with aloe. It leaves skin feeling soft, without any residue or sticky film.

CHOCOLATE MILK BODY CREME

Seal your skin with a rich moisturizer! I adore lotions and potions, creams and skin soothers. This year, I've become quite a fan of the Chocolate Milk Body Creme. This nurturing blend of chocolate and vanilla extracts, coco butter, sunflower seed oil and a rich parfum of mouth-watering milk chocolate leaves skin nourished. This super-hydrating body creme is the perfect solution for dry, itchy, winter skin! Treat yourself to that decadent chocolate delight. Apply, hydrate and enjoy!

Delicate, delicious skin - LOVE THAT!

Calvin Klein euphoria Eau de Toilette $40 - Sephora

When you think of Valentine's day, images of truffles and cheesy red roses may appear, but I'm hear to change all that! This year, here are some Valentine's Day goodies that may transform your vision of Valentine's Day.

Get It Hot

Close your eyes. All you can smell is the essence of ripened strawberries covered in what your senses have decided is a rich robe of milk chocolate. Open your eyes. What you're really smelling is Godiva Chocolatiers Strawberry Rose Candle, which brings decadent scents of chocolate and fresh strawberries. The scent is strong upon opening the box, but calms once the candle is lit. This candle is sure to inspire some fire in the bedroom...you know what I mean.

Kiss It Better

Mint in my lipgloss, oh how lovey! Experience fresh breath and super soft lips with the help of C.O. Bigolow's Mentha Lip Tint Bare Mint. This lip gloss feels almost electric as peppermint oil hits the lips and adds a layer of sheer, oh-so-sexy gloss. This nudey cutey lip gloss offers a refreshing, cooling sensation. It keeps lips tingling for at least 5 minutes and leaves a minty, kissable smile for a few hours after application.

Gets You Hot or Not?

There is always one fragrance that screms sex! Not in a dirty, slutty way, but in a come hither way. This year, that fragrance is of course Calvin Klein's Europhia. This sensual scent may turn your Valentine's Day from PG to R-rated quite quickly. The scent utilizes a powerful combination of pomegranate, persimmon, black orchid, lotus blossom, champaca flower, liquid amber, mahogany wood, black violet, cream accord, and the list goes. on.

This is one of those fragrances that has women wanting to be around you and men swarming around you. They just can't get enough!

Yves Saint Laurent 'Rouge Volupté' Lipstick $34 - Nordstrom

I would never kiss and tell! Well, not true. I used to write a dating blog.

What did I learn during my dating adventures in the city? Confidence is everything, whether it comes in the form of a vibrant pink lipstick or a sexy swagger.

This Valentine's Day, it's all about feeling confident and beautiful. It doesn't matter if you're on a hot date with your boy toy or a group of girl friends. This year, treat yourself to a luxurious lipstick that will look as good as it feels! My recommendation - Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupte Lipstick ($34).

This luscious lip color has a super creamy texture that glides on easily and seamlessly. This powerful lipstick contains a nutri-protective vegetal complex to nourish your lips, keep them hydrated and smooth. Flaking and feathering lips, definitely not sexy!

With 18 different shades to choose from, pick your lipstick love! Sweet Honey is mine (pictured).

Maybe I can't afford that Yves Saint Laurent bag just yet (saving, saving, saving)...but the lipstick I can handle!

What's your Valentine's Day indulgence?

Kiss-Proof Color from Rimmel London: Dare to Test It Out?

TheGlamtastic — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 14:26:35 PST

Please note: I did not receive PR samples.

I've started a revolt, against my lipstick that is! I apply it and five minutes later my luscious color has disappeared and now my lips look like I just drank a large glass of raspberry flavored Kool Aid! This is not exactly the professional look I was aiming for at the office or the sensuous lips I was hoping for on date night.

Would you be willing to take a lip color dare and try Rimmel London's Lasting Kiss and Stay Gloss?

This long lasting gloss delivers stay-put shine and rich color that outlasts almost any kiss, cup of coffee or staff meeting. The company says that this color lasts 10 hours! My lip glosses and lip sticks are off my pout before the clock strikes 10 am, so the idea of a 10 hour gloss sounds quite impressive.

This glossy goodness has an ultra-soft applicator on one end that helps color glide onto lips, while a one-stroke brush on the opposite end offers a perfectly paired crystal shine gloss that helps to magnify and seal in color.

The result is vibrant, glossy, long lasting color that leaves lips looking lovely!

Available in 12 love-themed shades including: First Kiss, Eternal Kiss, Enduring Love, Lasting Passion and Old Flame, etc.

Dying to get your hands on it? Check out this long lasting, kiss-friendly gloss at drugstores nationwide.
