Be My Valentine

Valentine’s Day is this weekend, and I have been looking for the perfect beauty products for the universal day of love. From pouting lips, to blushing cheeks and extra smooth skin, everything that I have found for you comes with an extra special ingredient – love. Valentine’s Day is not only about romance, it’s also a day to celebrate yourself, and all the things that make you beautiful.  So when the ‘big day’ arrives, make sure you plaster your unyielding smile with some sassy gloss, shimmy into a summery dress, and I reckon it’s definitely a day for some killer heels. Oh, and maybe a badge that lets you declare your love for whatever you like. (In my case, cups of tea and beauty products).


Benefit Benetint Lip Balm, SPF 15, RRP $38

Give your lips a rosy glow, and protect them from the sun with this cute as a button little pottle of goodness.

Max Factor Eye Shadow in Blooming Passion, RRP $18.99

You’ll look like a sweet little cherub with rosy eyes. The secret is blending, and sticking to the ‘less is more’ rule.

If you like to be pampered, maybe you should leave this web page open for your lover-dearest to see. Or just go get one for yourself.

Napoleon Devine Goddess Lipstick in Aphrodite, RRP $33

With a name like Devine Goddess and a colour like Aphrodite, it’s a Valentine’s essential.

About Romy Grbic

Romy Grbic is Trespass Magazine's Auckland-based Beauty and Style Editor, and was always the kid with the ‘wacky’ parents. This used to be slightly embarrassing when bringing friends home from school, but has turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The 24-year old writer/beauty therapist, living in a house with optimal feng-shui, seems to be following in the footsteps of her slightly alternative parents and carving a road uniquely her own. One leading to self-sustainable living on a large farm with a big organic vegetable garden, and a very large makeup kit and wardrobe. With a diploma in beauty therapy and a degree in sociology, Romy has taken her passion for learning, pretty things and writing and combined them into one, by creating her own website (www.onefabulousday.wordpress.com) on which she blogs optimistically, in the hopes of making the world a better place, both aesthetically and environmentally.
