Our Editor’s Top Treat Yourself Gifts, Because You’re Bloody Well Worth It

Heads up, this article includes sexual wellness products from our Adore Beauty sex category. Now, onwards!

I'm calling it: Let's all agree to be our own Valentine's this year.

You and I both have the power to brighten our own days and feel good right here and now. Even if it only results in receiving a sext from Australia Post saying your order is on its way...

Whether you’re coupled up or a single pringle, a little self-love is always a good idea. On that note, keep scrolling for a beauty editor edit of eight treat yourself gifts.

2. Jo Loves Paintbrushes.

What:

Jo Loves fragrance paintbrushes that literally let you paint on scents made by fragrance icon Jo Malone CBE.

Why you deserve it: Just because.

OK, but seriously...

Frankly, the Jo Loves perfume brushes are genius.

The super light, travel-friendly silver brush pens have fragrance suspended in an innovative gel formula that dries in seconds when you brush onto the skin.

They're also vegan, cruelty-free and re-fillable, and come in eight Jo Loves perfume scents as well as a paintbrush discovery set.

3. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.

What:

The cult Laneige lip masks we can't stop raving about, but in delicious limited edition chocolate and caramel flavours!

Why you deserve it: Because you're doing amazing, sweetie.

OK, but seriously...

I've been obsessed with the Laneige Lip Sleeping Masksince the moment it touched my lips.

Nothing leaves them smoother or more hydrated, and even though the flavours are legit good enough to eat, the formula actually lasts on the lips for ages.

The Korean skincare brand drops versions in one-off flavours all the time, but once they're gone, they're gone!

You can't go wrong though with the O.G., Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask this classic will always come back into stock!

Probs best worn in the comfort of your own home, but you do you.

4. Lumira SPHERA Diffuser.

What:

A $220 home fragrance diffuser complete with a hand-blown sphere, lava rocks and a luxurious Lumira fragrance oil.

Why you deserve it: Why the bloody hell not?

OK, but seriously...

Beauty IQ Uncensored podcast co-host Joanna Fleming reckons you'll never have seen a home fragrance product like this before.

"It's completely unique. I've literally never seen anything like this before. It's bougie but very cool," she says.

Perfect for smaller, more intimate spaces you don't want to be overpowered by a strong reed diffuser, simply arrange the lava rocks in the sphere, add eight to 10 drops of the oil and leave the lid on for 24 hours.

Then, lift the lid and voila! You've got months of fragrance AND a chic home decor item.

6. Anastasia Beverly Hills Lipstick & Lipstick.

What:

Cult makeup brand Anastasia Beverly Hills have released new shades in their popular satin lipsticks, matte lipsticks and long-wear lip liners!

Why you deserve it: Absolutely no reason, other than you're a star.

OK, but seriously...

I'm so ready to wear lipsticks again. Personally, I'll be gravitating towards creamy satin lippies, but a matte lip will always be a vibe.

Here are my shade picks of the new ABH arrivals:

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Lip Liner in the shade Dusty Rose worn on its own with a clear gloss or balm.

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Matte Lipstick in the shade Sugar Plum, worn with the Dusty Rose liner for extra staying power.

• Anastasia Beverly Hills Satin Lipstick in the shade Cherry, because it's time to live, people!

8. ghd original hair straightener.

What:

The new and improved version of the ghd original hair straightener that started it all, back and even better!

Why you deserve it: This is your sign to get a new hair straightener, OK?

OK, but seriously...

ghd original hair straightener has been around for ever, but their all-rounder original yellow-plated styler now has all the mod cons.

Think: New generation single-zone™ ceramic technology, 185°C for optimum styling, smooth gloss-coated plates for a shiny finish, and an improved design.
