Deborah Lippman polish

Deborah Lippmann polish

Add interest to your hands with some candy-inspired flair courtesy of Deborah Lippmann's Candy Shop (Nordstrom.com, $18). The fun bubblegum pink hue is infused with all different specks of color reminiscent of nonpareils candies like the ones from Edward Marc Chocolatier. Although nail polish won't taste like the sweet treat, it will put the focus on your delicious digits this Valentine's Day.

Bite Beauty lipstick

Lovely lips are a must on Valentine's Day (and every day!), so grab the latest from Bite Beauty — the limited edition Pastille Matte Crème Lipstick Collection inspired by French pastille candies. Infused with fresh flowers and pure essential oils of rose, geranium and lavender, this is a long-lasting lip color that will moisturize while making you beautiful. Our fave shade is pastille lavender and is just the prep you need in time for a juicy V-Day smooch (Sephora.com, $24).

True Religion Love Hope Denim

Sure, let yourself indulge in a few chewy, gooey caramels. But if you can't stop at just one or two, get your sweet fix another way — with True Religion's Love Hope Denim Eau de Parfum. Subtly sweet with hints of caramel, almond and vanilla, it's just sugary enough to satisfy your cravings without packing on the pounds. One spray and you'll be hooked — and hopefully he will be, too (macys.com, $79)!

Perricone MD Blue Plasma

The color of blue pastel candy hearts reminds us of the super effective Blue Plasma peel from Perricone MD. No one likes the signs of aging, so perk up your skin with this refreshing nonacidic daily peel aimed at resurfacing the skin by attacking dead skin cells, lifting surface debris and more. You'll be left with bright, beautiful skin just in time for your V-Day date (perriconemd.com, $95).

LaLicious Body Oil

Who can resist a body treatment that smells like candy and cookies? Not us! This Valentine's Day, indulge in LaLicious's Sugar Kiss body oil, a moisturizing treat that will smooth and condition your skin to perfection. Use the delicious-smelling oil in the shower as a shave cream, hair conditioner or skin softener and prepare to fall in love — with your sweet smelling, beautiful skin (lalicious.com, $24)!

Sonia Kashuk lip gloss

A gal can never have too many glosses, right? Right! Sonia Kashuk's Ultra Shine sheer lip gloss in Sugar is a V-Day must-have and will make your pucker as shiny and irresistible as a festive heart lollipop. This lovely gloss glides on without being too sticky, is paraben free and is enriched with fruit extracts that make it a steal at just $9 (target.com, $9).
