My favorite holiday is quickly approaching so, I wanted to do a blog on all things girly and glam for some fun, non-toxic, Valentine’s Day prep which as you know, must include a flawless red lip, dry free of course! Think my favorite clean perfumes, lipsticks, intimate oils, polishes, lashes and more! Whether you are heading out on a date, off to girl’s night, or just lounging at home, there should be a little something for everyone to make sure you feel extra loved and pampered come February 14th!
Date Night Makeup
I posted on IG asking what looks you guys wanted me to do and the red lip look was hands down the winner by a landslide so, I set out to recreate it. Below are the details of each product used to create a similar look, featuring a stunning red lip and glowy cheek! This look was all about the glow so I used the RMS Master Radiance in both the light and dark shades both below and above makeup to really get that GLOW.
Favorite Perfumes
I really love so many of the perfumes we carry in the Organic Bunny store but here are some that I am loving now and their overall vibe. You really cannot go wrong with any of these!
Esas Gardenia + Lily- You really cannot go wrong with a classic Gardenia and Lily perfume! This one is beyond amazing if you love Gardenia, it’s so luxurious and girly. It is heavy on the Gardenia so be sure to love that smell when choosing this one. This is a classic go-to for me as it is a great mix of clean, warm, fresh and floral! Try it here or in body spray version here.
Esas Sweet Cream + Vanilla- If you’re a vanilla girly, then this is the perfume for you! Did you know that most brands use fake vanilla? Not this one! This is hands down the most luxurious vanilla you’ll ever experience! Take REAL vanilla with nutty tonka and rich amber for an upscale yet warm experience. The perfect Valentine’s Day scent! Try it here or in body spray version here.
Esas Rosewood- Another one of my go-to scents, this Rosewood fragrance is the perfect mix between floral and musky with a pop of vanilla! This scent has a soft and subtle scent that blends sweet rosewater with neroli blossom, creamy vanilla and warm woods, I am obsessed! You will love this one year round but especially on Vday! Try it here.
Heretic in Coeur Noir- If you find beauty in the shadows and passion in the broodingly romantic, let your dark heart fall in love with Coeur Noir by Heretic! Masterfully blended around a seductive Labdanum laced core with hints of woody notes and Madagascar Vanilla, it will linger on your skin like a mysterious lover. This one is more sensual and moody but so so good! Plus, it comes in a black fabric heart-shaped box, the CUTEST! Try it here or try the sample kit with it in it here.
Heretic X RMS Beauty Scarlet Moon- Perhaps one of the most fun and unique clean scents I have found and still a favorite after all the new ones I have tried! Scarlet Moon is a gender-neutral scent that is versatile and intoxicating, easily transitioning from day to night with notes of vibrant rich Blood Orange, lush green Violet Leaf, and woodsy Japanese Hinoki. Uplifting Blood Orange brings feelings of joy and creates a sense of wellbeing, while verdant Violet Leaf and calming Japanese Hinoki inspire feelings of groundedness and comfort. Try it here! Not sure if this scent is for you? Try the sample size here first!
Kyle’s Cologne Faves
Want to get your man a clean fragrance he will actually use and love!? Here are some of Kyle’s faves! Out of everything I have made him try over the years, which is a lot of stuff… his all time, hands down favorite is the Smudge scent by Heretic and I agree, it’s damn good for men or anyone who loves a more masculine scent. Celebrating the ancient practice of using smoke to clear energy, this heady potion envelops you in an exquisite blend of juniper, labdanum, frankincense and tonka bean. It’s woodsy but not like the normal woodsy, very unique and such a treat to smell. He also loves mixing in the Heretic Dragon’s Blood, the Esas Body Spray in Sandalwood, the Ginger June Fern, Cedar Smudge, De Mer, and Eaglewood Ether! My best advice is to get both of the Heretic Sample Packs so you both can mix and match a few!
Perfume Sample Sets
Not sure which perfume would be best for you? Try our samplers! You can try 12 of the Esas perfumes here. If you like more floral musky perfumes, you can try the samples of the Ginger June line here for only $3 each! Heretic Perfume also makes some super cute samplers you can mix and match to create custom scents! Kyle is obsessed with mixing the Smudge with the Dragon’s Blood so it’s a fun kit you and your man can play with together! Try them here.
Red Nails
Looking for the perfect red nail? Give this Restore My Soul, metallic red a try by Huella! This was a go-to for me all of Christmas and again for Valentine’s Day. It really takes a classic red and elevates it to a bit more glam and of course, these polishes are as clean as I can find! Besides being 10-Free, Vegan + Cruelty-Free, these polishes contain no Benzophenone-1, a possibly toxic ingredient that most “cleaner” polishes still contain and they truly hold up amazing. Many girls call these the CHANEL polishes of clean beauty!
Non-Toxic Intimate Oils
I am sure you know this by now but, most conventional intimate lubricants contain toxic ingredients that can cause irritation, infections, or hormone disruptions. Some bad guys you want to keep an eye our for include parabens, which are linked to hormone imbalances and a cancer risk, glycerin, which promotes yeast infections, and propylene glycol, which a known irritant. Many options also contain petroleum-based ingredients which can trap bacteria and increase your infection risk, and nonoxynol-9, a spermicide that can cause microtears and heighten STI risk. As if that is not already bad enough, you then mix in artificial fragrances and phthalates that may disrupt hormones, while chlorhexidine gluconate kills beneficial bacteria, leading to imbalances. Some silicone-based lubes contain harmful additives like cyclotetrasiloxane, and PEGs may carry carcinogenic contaminants. Choosing natural, non-toxic lubricants free from these ingredients is the only way to go! Thankfully, I have a plethora of clean options for you to choose from to ensure your Valentine’s Day and any date night stays as loving as possible for both you and your body!
Wondering a top pick? Revel in heightened stimulation and gentle warming thanks to capsicum extract with this Om Organics Peach Seed Lubricant Oil. Essential fatty acids and coconut oil gently nourish for soft, velvety skin and long-lasting lubrication. With rich moisturization, 100% organic ingredients, and a paraben-free formula, let the good times roll. it’s all euphoria from here on out! I also love the Living Libations Love Butter because it smells beyond amazing, like sweet candy but it also doubles as a massage butter! You can check out all of my favorite intimate products here.
And there you have it! A few of my go-to products, just in time for a romantic yet non-toxic Valentine’s Day! Do you need swaps for anything else? Be sure to leave me a comment and I will add it in!
