I'm Right On Top Of That, Rose: The Top 10 Rose Scented Products for Valentine's Day

The rose has always been my favorite flower. I love every iteration, every color (especially peach roses) ... and not because it's the flower of romance, which, if I'm being honest, would make it much less appealing to me. No, it's just because the rose is a thing of pure and utter beauty, from its petals to its lush, heady scent. And, since Valentine's Day is this week, what better time is there to laud some of the best rose-scented beauty products? (Plus, I just love referencing one of my favorite 80s movies of all time, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead.) Keep reading to see which 10 rose-scented beauty products made the list.

Holiday Gift Guide: REN Rose Duo

Throughout the month of December, The Beauty of Life will be featuring a Holiday Gift Guide. Each gift is one I'd like to give AND get this season.

You know the saying: A rose is a rose is a rose. And in the case of the REN Rose Duo, it's never been more apropos. I am a major fan of anything rose-scented, so finding this set was one of the highlights of my month.

The two products in this set are gloriously beautiful. The simple packaging sets forth the sweet scent of rose -- somehow not feeling too heavy, but just crisp and light enough to last all day and feel wonderful. You'll find the following two full-sized products inside the pink tree-emblazoned box:

Moroccan Rose Otto Body Wash: Formulated with rose otto, palmarosa and geranium oils to soften dry, sensitive skin.

Damask Rose Ramnose Biosaccahride Body Cream: Rose otto and rose hip seed oils combine with gamma oryzanol and ramnose biosaccharide -- to soothe the skin and combat the effects of pollution and UV rays.

Now, who wouldn't want to unwrap this set?

The REN Rose Duo retails for $42 at spacenk.com.
