It’s no secret that holidays produce the most festive fingertips. While we’ve seen some jaw-dropping designs for Christmas and Halloween, the whimsical creations that come out of Valentine’s Day hold a special place in our chocolate-and-rose-loving souls. And just because filling out Valentine’s Day cards for classmates may be a thing of the distant past doesn’t mean you can’t show…
Even if you plan to spend Valentine’s Day eating a sampler box of Russell Stover chocolates in bed while watching the courtroom scene of Legally Blonde on repeat, you can still celebrate love’s eternal flame with a beauty product or two.

That’s right, we’re talking about sex and skin ladies (which happen to be our two favorite things).

And did we mention bed head? Nothing gives a fresh…

Aside from being a beauty editor, the dream job we aspired to while growing up, was being the person who came up with all the clever names on makeup packaging. While some shades may be less than inspiring (“warm beige,” anyone?) and others are just silly, there are a few brands that go for shock value. And these are, in…
