Valentine's Day beauty for singles
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Beauty retailer Sephora has compiled a selection of products for all the single ladies: instead of flowers, buy the Korres Rose Collection (lip and body butter, shower gel) or SEPHORA by OPI Modern Flowers Collection Nail Colours.
Benefit's Sugarbomb blush and Philosophy's bubblegum-flavored lip glosses make for great candy substitutes, and in case you need some self-affirmation, try Guerlain's lipsticks engraved with "I heart you" or "Kiss me."
Finally, in what Sephora calls its "optimistic kits," it is listing two sets to "go get them:" the Too Faced Walk of Shame Kit includes everything from makeup refreshers to toothbrush and mints, and its Give Me Some Lip Valentine's Day gift set features a wide range of kissable lip products.

Fashion designer Stella McCartney is also launching a special beauty product coinciding with the big day, which doubles perfectly as a gift for your girlfriends: a fine necklace carrying a solid version of her fragrance Stella launches in Sephora stores and on sephora.com next weekend (February 13).
