If I'm honest, I'm really not all that bother by Valentine's Day. Whilst I absolutely love receiving Chocolates and Roses, I mean who doesn't? I've never really been bothered about going to a fancy restaurant or receiving expensive gifts. My perfect Valentines Day would be snuggled up with my partner and our baby on the sofa, watching Prison Break back to back. In fact, that's exactly what we will do. However I thought I'd put together a Valentines lip line up for everyone, so whether you're out with the girls, having a romantic dinner or a cosy night in I've got you covered.
This red compliments all skin tones, it looks beautiful on pale skin and also really deep skin tones. It is quite bright and a little daring but also a very classic, timeless shade of red. Super romantic and matte!
Super Cindy is one I wear on a daily basis, it's my go to matte nude. Whether I've opted for a smokey eye, winged liner or gone for the natural vibe, this shades always got my back. It looks beautiful for every occasion. I always stay well clear of red when I'm going for dinner, nobody wants to be faffing over their lipstick when there is a piece of steak with your name on.
This is for the fun and the feisty! This is such a playful and bright shade. I'd recommend this for a girls night out. This looks amazing on deeper skin tones and again it's a matte finish.
A modern matte lipstick. For me, this shade and formulas are perfect for day dates & dinner. The formula is super comfortable, non-drying and smooth. The shade can easily be played up in the evening with a smokey eye or played down with a simple wing, the option is completely yours. This is my personal fave if you're looking for something subtle yet sexy.
On a budget? How about...
Yes, another nude, a slightly pinker nude. The kind that screams pretty and playful. Picnic date for anyone who's in a warmer climate?
These deep reds are my fave. Sexy and sophisticated. Daring and understated. If you going on an evening date, preferably not a dinner date this would work amazing.
Rimmel does some of my favourite more affordable lipsticks and this shade just speaks to me. If you didn't know I'm a sucker for a nude. They're my thing. This is great for a day date, dinner date or a girls night out if you want to play it safe.

What is your Valentine Day shade? Let me know in the comments!
Since having Emma we don't do much on Valentine's Day we usually put her to bed and order food and snuggle up watching a movie with homemade popcorn. I really want to get my hands on secret salma looks amazing. I'm seriously in love with pillow talk at the moment it's so worth the hype. The perfect nude. But for date night I like satin lips always find they look nicer.

DeleteI'm not one for wearing the traditional pink lip as it never suits me, no matter what shade of pink I try I look ridiculous so it's great to see you've added other shades to this post. Boho nude is super pretty and I love that Rimmel lipsticks have such a beautiful consistency!

Such a gorgeous range of Lipsticks babe, I really need to try a Charlotte Tilbury Lipstick. Maybe it's something I can treat myself in London when I go in a couple of weeks. Have a lovely Valentines day anyway doll, you deserve it <3

I agree, my fiancé and I have never got into the whole Valentine's Day thing. He works away and is rearly here for it anyway. If I did have to choose a shade to wear for a date it would be some of the shades from the Smashbox Be Legendary collection, they have some beautiful red and berry shades that would look so pretty.
