Whether you're staying at home or hitting the town—we've got you covered.

Valentine&#39;s Day can be wonderful, but the amount of pressure surrounding&nbsp;appearances that day can grow tiresome, especially for those now&nbsp;in a serious relationship. Sometimes you just want to say to hell with the holiday to pamper yourself from the comfort of your own living room. In the immortal words of RuPaul: &quot;If you can&#39;t love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else?&quot;&nbsp;To help you naviagte a night in, or a night out, single or taken, we&#39;ve put together the perfect products for a successful Valentine&#39;s Day.&nbsp;

Whether you&#39;re loving up on another person or practicing some self-love this Valentine&#39;s Day, you&#39;re going to want to focus some attention on your eyes. For those of you who are going out, a look done with Dior&#39;s 5 Couleurs eyeshadow palette in <a href="https://www.dior.com/beauty/en_us/fragrance-beauty/makeup/eyes/eyeshadows/pr-eyeshadows-y0148410_f014841067-rich-pigmented-colors-effects.html">067 Provoke</a>&nbsp;can make any simple outfit dramatic. Try a smoky eye with the included&nbsp;hint of purple-mauve for an enticing late-night mode. If you&#39;re not feeling a smoky eye, or just don&#39;t have time to change after&nbsp;work, CoverFX&#39;s recently released, mutipurpose&nbsp;<a href="https://www.coverfx.com/products/shimmer-veil?gclid=Cj0KCQiAnuDTBRDUARIsAL41eDplGIJKcRx8quujS43j6RCHaemFFcT-Up7l3pXKHR_BBS12m6sXfvoaAu_sEALw_wcB">Shimmer Veil</a>&nbsp;makes for a great eyeshadow on its own in any color. It&#39;s just enough to brighten your eyes.

If you&#39;re staying in, eye gels are a must. Skyn Iceland&#39;s <a href="http://www.skyniceland.com/product-32-hydro-cool-firming-eye-gels">Hydro Cool Firming Eye Gels</a>&nbsp;are a celebrity favorite, on top of winning multiple awards. They&#39;re wonderful for de-puffing, and will make you feel refreshed and ready for days to come.

The Eyes Have It

If you&#39;re staying in on Valentine&#39;s Day, there&#39;s no reason not to treat yourself and whomever may be with you to bottle of bubbly. It&#39;s infinitely cheaper from the liquor store&nbsp;than it would be at a restaurant or club, so those looking for some pampering&nbsp;can put the potential savings towards a better bottle.&nbsp;Mo&euml;t&nbsp;Ros&eacute; Imp&eacute;rial is a fruity, crisp ros&eacute; champagne you&#39;ll likely be able to pick up at any retailer near you&mdash;perfect to pair&nbsp;with the fruits and cheeses&nbsp;typical of Valentine&#39;s Day.

For those who are going out but still need the assurance of champagne, Cuv&eacute;e Beauty has got you covered. Developed when the founder recognized the advantages of using champagne in hair-care products, it&#39;s an entire line based around the bubbly stuff. Its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.cuveebeauty.com/collections/best-of-the-batch/products/champagne-spray">Champagne Spray</a>&nbsp;is a must have this V Day, acting like any salt spray you&#39;re&nbsp;used to, but working to strengthen your hair instead of causing damage. Your hair will smell like champagne, too, and who doesn&#39;t want that?

Stay Bubbly

Sheet masks are all the rage right now, but sometimes the excess goo&nbsp;associated with them makes them not worth the time or hassle. Give yourself a low-maintenance masking experience this holiday with Nannette de Gasp&eacute;&#39;s newest launch, <a href="https://missdegaspe.com/">Miss de Gasp&eacute;</a>. They&#39;re dry sheet masks that activate upon contact with your skin, and actually have been proven more effective than wet sheet masks. (They&#39;re also reusable 3-6x each.)

However, going out and looking your best doesn&#39;t and shouldn&#39;t mean you should have to sacrifice your skin. Regardless of Valentine&#39;s Day makeup pressures, foundations like <a href="https://www.bareminerals.com/face-makeup/foundation/bareskin-pure-brightening-serum-foundation-broad-spectrum-spf-20/USmasterbareskin.html">BareMinerals bareSkin</a>&nbsp;are designed to nourish your face while you&#39;re out and on the go.&nbsp;

Treat Your Skin Right

Let&#39;s face it, if things get hot and heavy,&nbsp;you don&#39;t really want your date to get caught up with lipstick who-knows-where. Luckily, the most beloved tones for lip colors right now are basic nudes and mauves. Marc Jacobs Beauty has proven to be a pack leader in these colors, with the Le Marc Lip Creme in <a href="https://www.marcjacobsbeauty.com/le-marc/lip-creme/MJ40005.html">&quot;Slow Burn&quot;</a>&nbsp;and Liquid Lip Crayon in <a href="https://www.marcjacobsbeauty.com/le-marc/liquid-lip-crayon/MJ40010.html?dwvar_MJ40010_color=MJ4207">&quot;Night Mauves&quot;</a>&nbsp;providing perfect barely-there tints for your lips.&nbsp;

If you&#39;re staying in, lip care is still essential. Bite Beauty&#39;s <a href="https://www.sephora.com/product/agave-lip-mask-P384629">Agave Lip Mask</a> range has been a smash hit ever since the first (clear) iteration came out, and for good reason. You can use it occasionally as a mask, or consistently as a balm. No matter how you use it, it will provide you with the perfect pout. And for those who don&#39;t want to wear lipstick on Valentine&#39;s Day, the tinted iterations are equally amazing.
