Get ready for Valentine's Day Weekend - whether you are single or hooked up!

Valentine’s Day weekend is almost here, and it’s not just about planning the perfect date or outing. It’s also an opportunity to focus on yourself - both inside and out. Whether you’re spending the day with a partner, or friends, or treating yourself, here’s how to get ready for the occasion

Beauty is skin-deep

Before you even think about the outfit or makeup, it’s important to feel your best from within.

• Shiseido Vital Perfection Peptide Drink: This beauty supplement is designed to improve skin elasticity and radiance in just 10 days. Packed with Shiseido’s VP-2X Complex, it promotes blood flow and fights glycation, helping you achieve glowing skin from the inside out. 
  
  
• Infrared Saunas: Incorporating a sauna session into your routine can help detoxify your body, improve circulation, and reduce stress. Infrared saunas are particularly effective for relaxation and skin purification, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and ready for the celebrations.
  
  
• InMode Treatment: Available at clinics like High Society Skin Clinic in Central Hong Kong, InMode offers cutting-edge non-invasive solutions for skin tightening, body contouring, and facial rejuvenation. Using radiofrequency energy combined with microneedling, treatments like Morpheus8 and Forma target sagging skin, wrinkles, and stubborn fat deposits. InMode is perfect for achieving a sculpted look with minimal downtime—ideal for busy schedules. 
  
  
• EstheClinic’s Supra Facial: If you’re looking for a non-invasive glow-up, this 3-in-1 treatment combines radiofrequency, vacuum therapy, and electrostimulation to firm, sculpt, and plump your skin. It’s perfect for achieving a refreshed look with no downtime.

Dressing up and stepping out

Whether it’s a romantic dinner or a fun night out with friends, looking your best adds to the excitement of Valentine’s Day.

• Tom Ford Makeup Collection: The new Rose Exposed collection offers everything you need for a polished look. From soft blush tones to bold lip colours, it’s versatile enough for both subtle daytime looks and glamorous evening styles.
  
  
• Serge Lutens Makeup Collection: For a more dramatic look, check out Serge Lutens’ Fondu enchaîné eyeshadow palettes, which are perfect for creating versatile looks. With rich pigments and long-lasting formulas, they range from soft neutrals to bold tones like Bluet Submarine (our favourite!). Pair them with Serge Lutens’ lip inks for a matte finish that adds sophistication to any outfit.
  
  
• The Outfit: If you’re dressing up for an outing, keep it simple yet elegant. A well-fitted dress or tailored suit paired with understated accessories can make all the difference. If you’re staying in but still want to feel festive, opt for comfortable loungewear in rich fabrics like silk or velvet. Since we are amid Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2025 explosions, get inspired by the latest trends, from the return of skinny jeans to bold and dressy pieces that show people just how glamorous you are.

Practical Tips for Valentine’s Weekend Prep

1. Plan Ahead: Book treatments like InMode or facials early to avoid last-minute stress.
2. Dress Smart: The weather in Hong Kong has been fickle the past few days. One moment you need a down jacket, the other you see your counterparts flaunting their stuff in t-shirts and shorts. Choose an outfit that makes you feel confident but comfortable - whether it’s a sleek dress or tailored separates.
3. Self-Care First: Take time for yourself in the days leading up to the weekend. A good night’s sleep and hydration go a long way.

Valentine’s Day is about celebrating love in all its forms - including self-love. By combining internal wellness with external preparation, you’ll feel ready to enjoy the weekend in style.
