01
Valentine’s Vixen

Whether you’re canoodling with your man or club-hopping with your girls, Valentine’s Day is all about giving great face, hair and body. Get there with these super-sexy beauty treats!

02
Scented Strands

Pink Sugar Hair Fragrance ($15, nordstrom.com) leaves relaxed and natural tresses subtly scented with a sweet mix of vanilla (a proven aphrodisiac) and caramel.

03
Lovey Dovey

Jurlique Rose Love Balm ($9, jurlique.com) is an all natural salve perfect for softening and moisturizing dry spots (so unsexy!). Think: cuticles, knees, elbows, lips, feet and hands.

04
Lickable Lotion

Victoria’s Secret Tease for Two Kissable Massage Lotion in Berry Passion ($15, victoriassecret.com) is a delicious, totally edible body lotion that melts into a sensuous body oil on skin.

05
Frankly Scarlet

Have a red-hot makeup moment with L’Oreal’s new Target Red Collection ($3.34-$8.49, target.com), which includes an Infallible Lip Color, Pro Mani Nail Polish, and Colour Riche Lipstick.

06
Hot Stuff

Elizabeth Arden’s new fragrance, Pretty Hot ($65, beauty.com) lives up to its name with an oh-so-seductive blend of red currant, fresh mandarin, blood orange, red apple and freesia.

07
Gorgeous Gams

Get mini-ready with Super Supermodel Legs by Dr. Nicholas Perricone ($30, sephora.com)—it’s spiked with Chili Pepper (ooh la la) to help increase circulation and promote firmness.

08
Just Like Honey

Dust Urban Decay Sparkling Lickable Body Powder in Honey ($29, macys.com) onto your cheekbones, shoulders, decolletage and legs for a luminous glow—and then have your man kiss it off. Yum.

09
Boob-a-licious

Mama Mio Boob Tube Bust Firmer with Magic Shimmer ($30, mamamio.com) helps tighten and firm up your “girls,” while also adding a dewy dose of subtle sparkle. Hot, hot, hot.
