10 Chocolate Beauty Products That Will Satisfy Your Valentine’s Day Cravings

The BEST Cream Blush Ever:

Tower 28 BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush (Dream Hour)

I shared this beauty when talking about dupes for the best blush for my brown skin, and there's a reason why. Besides the intense pigment you get from what's arguably the best cream blush ever, you can trust that it's a certified clean product at Sephora. AND it won an Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2021.

From the packaging to the pigment of the blush, it looks exactly as advertised. I made the mistake of swiping too much product to do a swatch, but at least I found out how creamy it is. Compared to the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm PowderI use, Tower 28's blush isn't as creamy, but that's not to say it's lacking. I'd say it's a beginner-friendly blush that's a little more forgiving than most on the market.

According to Tower28, this cream blush can be used multiple ways in order to give you a glowy look that's not overdone. It's described as being creamy, pigmented, and marked safe for anyone who has sensitive skin. Prior to using this using this product, I relied heavily on the Tower 28's SOS Spray, so I wasn't surprise how well this cream blush worked with my reactive skin.

I was, however, shocked at how well it worked, skin-issues aside. Tower28 says its supposed to seamlessly melt into the skin instead of drawing attention to fine lines — and I can definitely attest to that! If I don't apply my concealer or setting powder correctly, my under eye area shows signs of creasing which can affect the top of my blush placement. But, I honestly haven't had to worry about that since using BeachPlease.

It looks like my skin and the blush reached an agreement where they've suddenly decided they're willing to work together for a smooth look.

What makes this Tower28 cream blush a clean product?

It has aloe vera extract in it that hydrates the skin, green tea extract that calms it as a natural antioxidant, and castor seed oil that has a healthy dose of fatty acids in it. I tend to break out in inflamed pimples on my cheeks right before and after my cycle, but this blush doesn't irritate them at all. I noticed the blush seems to minimize that inflammation without drying out the skin underneath, making me believe this counts as skincare makeup.

The best cream blush's packaging also has an Earth Sensitive Pledge because 50% of it derives from post-consumer recycled plastic. Knowing that Tower 28's mission leans towards caring for the skin first and sustainability, this was a huge green flag for me!

What have other customers said about Tower 28's BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush?

Customers can't stop talking about this blush! One user says that this is their third Tower28 blush and that it's "great for mature skin." Others note that it's "so easy to blend," that it "stays on," and that the color is "perfect for all skin tones."

After reading these, plus my experience with this incredible cream blush, I'm definitely a fan for life and think you should become one too! However, if this blush doesn't suit you, here are four other options to add to cart!

LAWLESS Pinch My Cheeks Soft-Blur Cream Blush (Starburst)

This is another clean cream blush that's also gluten-free! It does feel like velvet when putting it on the skin, but you won't be able to tell it's on after you apply it because it's weightless. This has everything to do with the hybrid elastomer miscrosphere powders found in the product.

There's also green tea extract and micronized pigments it it! Together they protect the skin from harmful properties and make it easy blend into the skin.

If you need another incentive, you can trust this cream blush is free of phthalates and sulfates SLS & SLES.

It's also free from parabens, nonylphenol ethoxylates, triclosan, triclocarban, and hydroquinone.

Caffeine-Free Cold Drinks

Lemonade

Starbucks' lemonade may be caffeine-free, but it still packs a punch with a zesty sip.

You can also order the lemonade blended, which combines the drink with ice for a slushy consistency. This is one of the easiest caffeine-free Starbucks drinks to order!

Peach Lemonade

For something sweeter, order the Starbucks lemonade with a splash of peach juice!

You can also get the Peach Lemonade in a blended version for an icier feel. This caffeine-free Starbucks drink is perfect for summertime.

Blended Strawberry Lemonade

Try ordering this beverage blended for a fun twist on the classic caffeine-free Starbucks drinks!

Milk

This one feels like a no-brainer, but not many people know that you can order straight-up cold milk (whole, 2%, skim, almond, oat) from the Starbucks register. If you're craving it on the go, you know where to find it.

Caffeine-Free Teas

The Starbucks Passion Tango Tea comes iced and brings forth flavors from apple, hibiscus, and lemongrass for a vibrant (non-caffeinated) bev! You can also order this caffeine-free Starbucks drink with a splash of lemonade for a very juicy balance.

The herbal teas at Starbucks are free from caffeine, and our #1 fave is the Mint Majesty. It's used to make the Honey Citrus Mint Tea (AKA the Medicine Ball), providing a nice aromatic mint feel compared to other caffeine-free Starbucks drinks.

Peach Tranquility Tea

The Peach Tranquility is a bit on the sweeter side, and provides a great opportunity to warm up during the colder months.

Vanilla bean powder, milk, and ice are blended to create this whipped cream-topped Frapp. It's still sweet, but nixes the caffeine entirely.

This Frappuccino flavor is similar, except it's quite strong on the caramel, and has some interesting crunchiness to it from the little caramel bits that they shake in. Dessert-y caffeine-free Starbucks drinks FTW!

Additionally, you can order a crème Frappuccino with white chocolate (or more popularly, white mocha). You can also order this pick with regular mocha for a tasty caffeine-free Starbucks drink.

Caramel Brulée Crème Frappuccino

This Frapp is flavored with one of the best seasonal syrups, Caramel Brulée, and gets topped with whipped cream and little bruléed bits for a yummy caffeine-free Starbucks drink.

Peppermint White Chocolate Crème Frappuccino

Skip the caffeine rush and aim for a full-on sugar rush with this minty Frappuccino. Like the White Chocolate Crème one, you can also swap the white mocha for regular mocha.
