Trend-Filled Thursdays: Pink Products

Now, I'll be the first to admit it. I don't like Valentine's Day. Seriously. In high school, my BFF Katie and I declared it "stupid day." We walked around in grey sweatpants, grey sweatshirts and talked about how stupid the holiday was from start to finish. (We also sent each other Candygrams, but that was just to give us a sugar rush in the middle of biology.)

But you know what? I'm getting into the spirit a bit this year. Because tons of companies have come out with some of the cutest, prettiest pink products around ... and when that happens, you just have to say, "It's okay, Valentine's Day! I heart you!" Check out my favorite pink products after the jump.



Gillette Venus Spa Breeze (around $10, launching this spring): I already told you about the amazingness of the Breeze. (For a reminder, click here.) Well, this is the latest addition to the Breeze family. It's still got the shave gel bars, it still leaves you with the smoothest shave imaginable ... but it's the prettiest shade of pale pink, and it's formulated with white tea, so it smells unbelievable! You won't want to get in your shower without it.

NARS Single Eyeshadow in Baby Girl ($22 at narscosmetics.com): I'm a NARS junkie, which means I relish every opportunity to try each product the brand comes out with. And this gorgeous eyeshadow has a sparkle factor similar to Super Orgasm, which just means it's become my new staple.

Lippmann Collection Nail Lacquer in My Romance ($15 at lippmanncollection.com): The perfect sheer pink? This is it. It's got just enough depth to be seen on the nail without looking offensive whether you work in finance or fashion. And I'd say it's the perfect Valentine's Day date color!

Sephora Guava Passion Bath & Shower Bubbles ($12 at sephora.com): First of all, I love that this smells just like I'd expect a deserted island to smell. Secondly, I love the innovative bottle design, which looks just like an apple that's waiting for you to take a bite. But most of all, I love that it leaves me smelling fresh and clean with just a touch of shimmer left behind. What more could there be from life?

Prescriptives In Bloom Cheek Colour Duo in Cool ($24 at prescriptives.com): Sometimes I get products so pretty, I can't even bear to use them. I just want to stare at them for hours and hours, happy that they were crafted so beautifully that they're true works of art. Such is the case with this blush duo, which has two utterly gorgeous pink shades that -- if you can bear to sweep your brush through the oversized floral motif marking them -- really do give your cheeks a fabulous rosy flush.

Yves Saint Laurent Gloss Pur in Pure Rose ($29 at yslbeautyus.com): Spending this much on a lipgloss? Normally I'd say that's crazy talk. But this one is totally and completely worth it. The scent is fruity and zesty, the consistency is rich and lush, and the packaging is simply divine. Who can resist that gold cap with the YSL logo so artfully emblazoned on one side? Not to mention the gloss itself is maybe the perfect shade of light, creamy pink.

Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Django ($23 at chanel.com): It shimmers. It glimmers. It otherwise glistens. Not to mention it's got a hint of white in there that really makes this color stand out in a crowd. My new go-to manicure shade? I'm thinking yes!

Lancome Color Fever Lipstick in Pink in the Limo ($25 at lancome-usa.com): I honestly never thought I'd find a lipstick to replace my Pixel Pink. But there's something about this sparkly bright fuchsia that just really calls to me. It's unbelievably moisturizing, with an almost gloss-like consistency, and it's seriously gorgeous. GORGEOUS. I honestly can't say anything bad about it!
