This week we take pleasure in pastel.
Charming sentiments
London-based accessories brand Orelia is known for its cute and quirky jewellery, which features culturally inspired Hamsa hand icons, semi-precious elements and inspirational slogans. If you’re on the hunt for a budget-friendly Valentine’s gift that will make a sweet impression, then this is the brand to buy it from. Orelia has launched online with Namshi.com, so you don’t even need to leave your house.

Prep your pout
Starskin has released some incredible face masks, not to mention glove masks for the hands and feet, but its latest product has been specially produced for lips. The new Dreamkiss bio-cellulose mask targets the lip area with five millilitres of nourishing and hydrating serum formulated with coconut oil, chia seeds, honey, collagen, sea fern and hyaluronic acid.

Wrist winner
With a luxe mother-of-pearl dial, framed by an 18-carat white gold case and covetable tea-pink textured leather strap, this Chopard timepiece will melt the heart of any woman who unwraps it on Valentine’s Day. If she likes bold, traditional elements, like roman numerals, but still seeks out pieces that are punchy and playful, then this is the watch for her.
• Price on request; available at Chopard boutiques in the UAE
Bubble-bath bliss
If you haven’t yet tried out the famous bath bombs from Lush, use the occasion of Valentine’s Day to mix up your night-time bathing ritual. Bath bombs release essential oils and aroma into your bath, infusing the water with swirls of colour. Lush has some cute heart-and-arrow and rose-imprinted options in store, along with a range of bubble bars, which will add frothy bubbles to your bath water.
