Mauve maven

Skip the reds and pinks while still exuding romance with a buttery mauve shade.  Rock it with a brown-based smoky eye for school or don your best dramatic winged liner for a punky date-night look.

Gorgeous in gray

Let's be honest: pink eyeshadow is not cute.  Okay, okay, maybe some girls can pull it off, but for the rest of us, there are super flattering neutrals like this stunning shade of gray (especially gorgeous for light-eyed girlies). Don't be afraid to try it out for both day and night looks - just take it easy on the liner to avoid the raccoon effect.

Love notes

Who needs love letters when you have nails like these? Be your own Valentine with these cute and cool press-on manis. The best part? They last for ten days, so you've be feelin' the love way past the fourteenth. (Or, for a challenge, DIY with white nail polish and a nail art pen.)

Violet vixen

Make your eyes pop with a pretty purple mascara for a unique V-Day (or any day) look. The startling color is a little kooky but still pretty and fun, making it the perfect way to wake up your wink.

Glitzy girl 

These gorge temporary tattoos may seem a little odd, but they're totally stunning - just ask celebs Shay Mitchell and Kim Kardashian (both huge fans). Get your glitter on with a pretty necklace or a bold bracelet. Bonus: you'll never have to worry about losing it in your locker.
