The phrase ‘’Girls support girls’’ is overused. Why don’t we spice it up a little bit with “chicks before pricks”? Uteruses before duderuses? Sisters before misters? Ovaries before brovaries? I don’t know, you pick. If nobody’s asking you out on Valentine’s, trust us, it won’t be a problem. It’s 2022, nobody gives a damn about V-day any longer – it is much better to celebrate it with the ones who never left – our besties!
And in conjunction with Galentine’s Day that falls on every 13th of February, who’s ready to go all-out? Leave it to us to find the perfect swoon-worthy gift for your chickas! Alexa, play Me & My Girls by Selena Gomez.

If there’s only one thing you can get for her, cart this out stat.

This K-beauty inspired lippie effortlessly delivers a shot of colour to your lips in a feather-light, velvety matte texture that will last until you decide to wipe it off at the end of the day.

4. CAUDALIE VINERGETIC C+ INSTANT DETOX MASK
Ladies, the last thing we want on date night is for our foundation to sink into large pores. Help your ladies to keep their skin at bay with this TikTok-famous (and for good reason!) mask the night before, concocted with coffee and pink clay, which absorb impurities from pores in just 10 minutes. Say hello to smoother and more uniform skin.
5. DR. DENNIS GROSS SPECTRALITE FACEWARE PRO PEARL
We know you and your girls would much rather enjoy an express facial at home while binging on Netflix than have a stranger breathing all over your face. We feel the same! Don’t let this limited-edition 3-minute LED mask fool you with its poker face. It has a combination of 100 red lights and 62 blue lights that work together to smooth wrinkles, diminish discolouration, and clear acne for a beautiful, youthful complexion that will get you compliments from everyone.
6. ORIBE TRÈS SET STRUCTURE SPRAY
Lock in your tresses for date nights of all kinds (we reckon even a stop at the trampoline park!) with this all-in-one styling spray that protects hair from heat up to 230°C, and provides volume and all-day hold while keeping it soft. Don’t worry about any pesky residue with this spray – it’s unique mist-to-mousse technology applies as a white dust only to dissolve and disappear while you style your hair. Not to mention, this concoction of amino-rich pea protein and macadamia seed oil nourishes and smooths strands while controlling frizz. Can we say, coiffed to perfection?
