7 Things to Do on Your Valentine's Day Staycation
January 11, 2019
The countdown to Valentine’s Day has finally begun—and while you may want to whisk away your bae with an impromptu vacation somewhere warm, we aren’t all lucky enough to have the means to do so. But just because you aren’t hopping on a plane doesn’t mean you can’t have a totally spectacular Valentine’s Day—in fact, you don’t even have to leave your house! We’re talking about the ultimate Valentine’s Day staycation. Keep reading for seven staycation musts—from kiss-proof lipstick to indulgent face masks—so you and your significant other can treat yourself to some well-deserved self-care on February 14th.
Valentine’s Day Staycation Must #1: Challenge all the lipstick
Let’s be honest—you’re probably going to be doing a little smooching on such a romantic holiday. This means you’ll be putting your lipstick to the ultimate test and will want to make sure you’re painting your pout with a long-lasting formula, like the L’Oréal Paris Rouge Signature, Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick. This matte lipstick has a stain-like feel with the color impact of a liquid lipstick. With its lasting formula, you won’t have to worry about it smudging throughout the day (or night)!
Valentine’s Day Staycation Must #2: Order all the takeout
Who wants to cook on Valentine’s Day? Not us! And while going to a fancy restaurant may be your cup of tea, we’re much bigger fans of lounging around at home in our pajamas while indulging in all of our favorite foods. From Chinese food to pizza, order what you please and enjoy some seriously good grub from the comfort of your own bed.
Valentine’s Day Station Must #3: Drink all the wine
What’s Valentine’s Day without a little wine to set the mood? Whether you prefer a glass of champagne to celebrate or a something a little less cliché, stock up on your favorite bottle and “wine” down with your significant other.
Valentine’s Day Staycation Must #4: Use all the face masks
While you don’t have to wait until Valentine’s Day to indulge in a little self-care with your bae, a staycation is the perfect opportunity to try out some new face masks! Can’t decide on just one? Get creative and multi-mask! We’ve heard that couples who do face masks together, stay together. Take your pick from our face masks below.
L'Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Exfoliate & Refining Face Mask: Formulated with three pure clays and red algae extract, this face mask addresses rough skin and deeply clogged pores to leave you with a polished, smooth, and pore-minimized complexion.
L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Clear & Comfort Face Mask: Have stressed or irritated skin? This face mask is for you. Formulated with seaweed, the mask visibility reduces imperfections while comforting stressed, uncomfortable skin.
L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Mask Detox & Brighten Face Mask: This charcoal mask is ideal for those who are looking to brighten their complexion (a must during these cold, winter months). You’ll be left with a purified, even, and radiant complexion.
L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Purify & Mattify Face Mask: If you have oily skin, you’ll want to try this face mask. Formulated with three pure clays and eucalyptus, the mask addresses your shiny and oily skin to reveal a clarified, mattified, and refreshed complexion.
L’Oréal Paris Pure-Clay Clarify & Smooth Face Mask: This clay mask is formulated with yuzu lemon to draw out buildup of impurities and smooth uneven, rough skin.
L’Oréal Paris RevitaLift Triple Power™ Intensive Overnight Mask: This overnight mask is formulated with Pro-Xylane and centella asiatica botanical extract. The hydrating mask works to transform the look of aging skin overnight.
L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Cell Renewal Rosy Tone Mask: Over time, aging skin can become dull and lose its rosy tone. This mask will help revive your skin for a refreshed, healthy look. The gel formula contains AHA and imperial peony and leaves you with a rosy, radiant glow.
Valentine’s Day Staycation Must #5: Watch all the movies
Binge-watching some of your favorite movies is a staycation must. Consider this the ultimate excuse to stay cuddled up in bed watching all of your favorites (while enjoying that take out and wine, of course).
Valentine’s Day Staycation Must #6: Take all the photos
Document your staycation by taking a bunch of selfies and snapping candid shots of your boo! Personally, we’re fans of posing for an impromptu photo mid-face mask. This will be a Valentine’s Day you won’t want to forget, so make sure to preserve your memories!
Valentine’s Day Staycation Must #7: Eat all the sweets
We’re pretty sure there’s a mandatory rule somewhere that says you have to eat all the sweets—from chocolate to ice cream—on Valentine’s Day. Hey, we don’t make the rules, we simply follow them. Yum!
