Paige Desorbo’s Post-Breakup Galentine’s Day Essentials Are Under $20

Our favorite model, journalist and television personality Paige Desorbo has taken Bravo by storm with her unforgettable appearances on Summer House, Winter House and Southern Charm. Now she’s taking on an even tougher challenge—a post-breakup Valentine’s Day—and turning it into a fabulous Galentine’s Day celebration. Desorbo reminded her fans and fellow Amazon shoppers that this holiday is all about embracing self-love and indulging in self-care in a recent Amazon Live stream. What better way to do that than with beauty products that are as full of love and luxury?

Love Balm Yourself

The first step to self-care is love-bombing yourself with a lush lip balm. For Desorbo, there is no better way to spread the love than with the moisturizing and hydrating LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm ($19). It’s a glossy and lightweight sensation that will always tint and pamper your luscious lips like no one else can. Infused with shea butter, this balm is the ultimate self-care kiss, leaving your lips soft, plump and ready for all the love you deserve.

The only perfect match Desorbo sees on this strictly Galentine’s Day is within the e.l.f. Monochromatic Multi Stick ($4). The product is a versatile wonder that doubles as a blush and a lip color. “Why would I not put my blush on my lips,” the star said in her Amazon Live video. Desorbo’s go-to shade, Sparkling Rose, effortlessly blends into a creamy yet lightweight finish, adding a shimmery pop that’s flirty and flattering without the heartache. While we don’t need a significant other, we do need a good manicure. The Desorbo-approved OPI Nail Lacquer Nail Polish ($12) does not chip or streak as some relationships do. It even highlights and acts as your personal shimmer.

Heal Breakup Stress

According to Desorbo, the perfect Galentine’s Day gift idea is the remedy for breakup stress. The Grace & Stella Under Eye Masks ($15) soothe and plump tired eyes. As Desorbo said, “I love an under-eye patch.” Nothing feels more like self-love than a refreshed and rejuvenated glowy gaze. Another feel-good product for your Galentine’s Day celebration, Desorbo swears by anything cold and “so refreshing,” like the Kitsch Ice Face Roller ($18). Say goodbye to any relationship-induced migraine—this face roller reduces wrinkles and promotes lymphatic drainage to soothe your head.

After a breakup, invest your time and energy into the most important person: yourself. Treat yourself to the AOA Studio Collection Makeup Sponge Set ($10) that will perfect your Galentine’s Day look. These super-soft and latex-free beauty blenders are a cosmetic wonder, helping you glow and blend into the better version of yourself. Like Desorbo, the only gift every girl wants on Galentine’s Day is voluminous hair. Thin, fine and oily locks can be transformed into a shiny and full-bodied perfection with the MONDAY HAIRCARE Volume Shampoo + Conditioner Set ($11). The set contains coconut oil, ginger extract and vitamin E. Just like your past relationships, the bottles are 100 percent recyclable.
