Valentine’s Day is just around the corner; do you plan on spoiling yourself or putting together a Valentine’s Day wishlist? Here are five products that we absolutely love this month!
Create Salon-Worthy Styles with Youmi Beauty
Whether you love glorious waves, luscious curls or silky-smooth hair, you’re going to love this. Youmi Beauty, a renowned Dubai-based cosmetic brand founded by mega beauty influencer and businesswoman, Youmna Khoury, has announced the pre-launch of its new hair tools. The line will feature a hair curler kit, hair dryer kit, hair brush, and hair clips, all of which are expertly engineered for achieving flawless results.
The Curling Wand features an extended barrel, making it perfect for extensions or long hair to achieve an effortless, salon-worthy, blow-dry effect from home. The long barrel is coated in ceramic which helps to seal the hair cuticle, prevent frizz and enhance shine, and has an adjustable temperature of 80-220°C. Paired with the curler is the Mermaid Hair Waver Kit, ideal for creating beach-bound tresses and mermaid waves.
Meanwhile, their innovative, lightweight digital hair dryer features intelligent technology for smooth, shiny and frizz-free results. Youmi Beauty’s hair brush promises to be gentle on strands while leaving hair smooth and silky without any breakage or damage. The Youmi Beauty Hair Clips are a final addition for completing a full, glamorous look. Coming in a pack of nine, the embellished clips can be used for hair styling or accessorising.

Produced from natural ingredients, these lipsticks offer easy application with a creamy texture and sweet aroma. It’s available in four shades: Nude Beauty, Back to Nature, Natural Kiss, Wild Rose. This vegan lipstick adds that instant oomph factor to the lips with just one layer due to its intensely pigmented formula.

A BIT OF VITAMIN C!
Beauty is quite literally skin-deep, so don’t forget to take care of your skin as part of your daily routine. Olivanna’s new Vitamin C Brightening Serum is a fantastic lightweight moisturiser that you can add to your skincare routine. The serum enriches your skin with Vitamin C at the heart of the dermis for age-defying results.
The vegan formula provides effective antioxidant protection against UV-induced cell damage and includes Cornflower cells which improve cellular activity while boosting collagen and elastin synthesis. What this means is that you’ll end up with skin that appears firmer and more toned with a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines.
The serum is also rich in ceramides, squalene and hyaluronic acid which strengthens the skin’s barrier, gives it a hydration boost and brightens it too.
