The countdown to Valentine's Day is on, and it's time to solidify your plans. But for us it's less about what you're doing that night and more about how you get ready. You know, the part where you primp and prepare for hours before you hit the town. Whether you're planning a night with the girls or a date with your significant other, you'll need the proper tools to look and feel your sexiest. We're talking hair, makeup, manicures, and maybe even a bikini wax (cough cough). Even if you're planning a solo evening, Valentine's Day is really synonymous with pampering — candles, bubble bath, Sam Smith on repeat. Regardless of your Feb. 14 schedule, these beauty buys will get you in the mood.

So, go ahead and leave a few red lip prints on his collar to remember you by.
