Bobbie's beauty stats: Greenish-bluish-grayish eyes that change in different lighting; great hair, nails, and teeth (thanks, Mama!); obsessed with exfoliating and addicted to SPF; love false lashes and nail art

"Forget a gift certificate for a massage or facial. The best gift you can give a friend on Valentine's Day is to restock her beauty essentials. It's an affordable way to pamper someone you care about. Snoop around in her bathroom to find out what she uses every day or pick up a few of my favorite products."

Venus Spa Breeze

"With its white-tea-scented shave gel bars and light lather, this three-bladed razor is a must-have for every woman who wants an indulgent, close shave."
