Valentine’s Day is the one time a year where society expects you spoil someone you love (or if you’re single, yourself). In the past year, Kylie Jenner Cosmetics has risen to fame for their Matte Lip Kits and other makeup products. Just in time for the holiday, Kylie just released her new Valentine’s Day collection on her website. The collection bundle costs $200. Since it’s already sold out after the first couple of day, here are some better presents you can treat yourself to instead.
1. 42 Starbucks Venti Caramel Macchiatos
For the average college student, coffee is just as crucial as water for survival. This addiction sure isn’t cheap. 42 Macchiato’s could get a student through almost three months of classes. Think of all the money you would save. You know what they say, a Venti a day keeps the bad grades away!
2. 6 Godiva Assorted Chocolate Gift Boxes
Nothing says Valentine’s Day more than a box of chocolate. While some eat them piece by piece, I’m the type of person to eat them by the box. That’s why getting six boxes is the best treat.
3. 16 Months of Premium on Netflix
“Netflix and Chill” has become quite the trend this year, but it doesn’t come free. With prices for the premium version of the the online streaming service rising up to $11.99 per month, the cost really does start to add up. You can get over 16 months of Netflix for the same price as this makeup that will probably run out or go out of style way before you’re done binge watching your favorite show.
4. 28 Bottles of Barefoot Moscato
Whether it’s for a wine night with the girls or for your Bachelor drinking game, wine nights are always the best nights. Spend your money on this instead, and I promise that drunk you will be thanking me later.
5. 71 Ladurée Macarons
Even though you can’t get a trip to Paris for the same price as the Kylie Valentine’s Day Bundle, you can get the next best thing. Macarons from Ladurée cost $2.80 each and come in a variety of flavors, so take your pick and enjoy your “getaway” to the city of love.
6. 15 Large Pizza Pies
Enjoy a pizza my heart this Valentine’s Day. While you might not be able to have all 15 pies in one day, treat yourself all month long with never-ending leftovers.
7. 5 Gel Manicures
Every girl deserves to be pampered sometimes, but get manicures get get expensive, averaging around $35-$40. Treat yourself like the queen you are for five gel manicures. Kylie does it, and so should you.
8. 6 Boxes of Edible Arrangement’s Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries
Since it’s fruit, it’s healthy right? Okay, maybe not, but this is one day a year where girls can stuff their faces with endless amounts of chocolate, and it’s totally acceptable. Embrace it and splurge on this special snack.
9. 40 Pints of Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream is the ultimate comfort food. It seems to have magical powers that make you feel better when you’re sad and allow you to substitute it for just about any meal. With endless flavor choices like Phish Food, The Tonight Dough, Cherry Garcia, and so many more, 40 pints should let you try them all.
10. 6 Dozen Long Stemmed Roses
Whether you agree with Nick’s choices or not, we can all agree that red roses are one of the greatest symbols of love. Love does come at a cost. A bouquet of long stemmed roses costs around $30 each, so make yourself feel special this Valentine’s Day and accept these roses.
