For many women, the start of the new year means a renewed hope in their love lives — which means they want to look and feel their best. If you’re seeking brighter and tighter skin for your next date night, the smart solution is BioElixia skin care products, which use science and a blend of natural ingredients to produce a unique skin treatment that really works. The formula is backed by 14 years of research that relies on key healing components, like multi-vitamins, anti-aging peptides, and moisturizing oils, that safely and effectively absorb into skin.
The BioElixia BodyShaper bundle includes everything you need to revitalize your body in the middle of a dry winter. First, the Cellulite Contour Crème is proven to reduce the appearance of cellulite by an average of 57 percent. The Exfoliating Body Polish uses micro-crystals to refine the skin, while the Radiance Body Cleanser cleanses and moisturizes with fruit enzymes and minerals. Next, the Firming Toning Body Lotion supports all-over skin tightness. Finally, don’t forget the Stretch Mark Diminishing Crème, which improves the visible appearance of stretch marks by an average of 71 percent.
All of these products work together to give your body a toned look and smooth feel that your partner will love. The TPM Dermal Delivery Technology allows the active ingredients such as sweet almond, aloe vera, vitamin E, ginseng, fruit acid, and more to penetrate further into the skin and increase absorption by five times. And it gets better: BioElixia is free of formaldehydes and other harmful chemicals as well as artificial colors and dyes.

It’s no secret that many pet owners want what’s best for their furry friends, and Eric Bittman was no different when he created Warren London. Eric and his wife Sara are the proud parents of two Boston Terriers, Maurice and Brittney. When Maurice was six months old, he developed a number of skin allergies. Unfortunately, the recommended shampoo only left his skin drier and itchier, which is why Eric decided to develop his own line of grooming products.
Warren London’s main goal is to make innovative luxury spa and grooming products that get great results. The company uses only natural ingredients to ensure that all items are top quality; they’re even human tested on top of being dog tested. Each product is made with a simple belief in mind: “Every dog deserves a spa day!”
From shampoos and conditioners to paw revitalizers and facial cleansers, Warren London sells a wide range of products that are sure to keep your dog looking (and smelling) his best. We all know that a clean dog makes a happy partner; after all, nobody wants to come home from a week-long business trip and be greeted by a smelly pooch who leaves muddy paw prints on their dry clean-only suit.
Plus, for a bit of added fun, the company also has quick-drying, non-toxic, water-based Pawdicure Polish Pens, available in 13 colors and perfect for dog nail art.
My husband and I used the Coconut 2-in-1 Shampoo + Conditioner on our Lab mix, Finn. Just a puppy, he loves to play and run around outside, which means he gets dirty quickly; even so, three days after his bath, he still smelled like coconuts. His coat was particularly shiny and seemed more moisturized despite the Colorado winter air.
We also used the Instant Ear Cleaner on Finn’s sensitive ears. He happily obliged while we massaged the solution into his ear canals, and his floppy ears stayed much cleaner than usual.
Lucky for you, one lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will win a Warren London gift bundle that includes: Lavender Shampoo, Hydrating Butter, Deep Cleaning Paw Fizz Tablets, Paw Sani-Scrub, Cucumber Melon Foaming Facial, “Wet Kiss” Dog Cologne, Grapeseed Oil, Instant Ear Cleaner, three Polish Pens, Nail File, and Buffer Block. Grooming your dog should be easy, effective, and, most importantly, fun — and thanks to Warren London products, it can be!

No dinner date is complete without the perfect bottle of wine. A dry white wine naturally complements a piece of grilled salmon and some summer vegetables, while a robust red wine pairs perfectly with a medium-rare filet and baked potato. If you’re wondering what type of wine to buy for your next dinner date, why not reach for a bottle of Jam Jar Wine?
The company was born in 2009 out of the realization that there aren’t a lot of options available to consumers seeking quality sweet wines. Many store-bought wines advertise a clean sugary taste, but in reality, they don’t taste so good. That’s not the case with Jam Jar Wines! These semiâ€sweet wines are made from grapes grown in the Western Cape of South Africa, which has a climate ideal for producing wines that offer a balance of sweetness and acidity.
Jam Jar Wines come in two varieties, and both are sure to make any date an all-night affair. The Sweet Shiraz is crafted in a lighter style than the typical Shiraz. With a fruity taste mixed with dark chocolate undertones, it’s sure to leave you and your date wanting more. It’s a versatile wine, so it goes great with anything from cheeseburgers to banana pudding.
The Sweet White is a 100 percent Moscato wine. This charming, easy-to-drink wine offers juicy flavors of peach, apricot, lychee, and orange blossom. A lively jolt of acidity keeps it fresh and fun. Fancy enough for a special occasion toast yet sweet-natured enough to enjoy every day, this beverage will certainly make your date night memorable.
Jam Jar Wine’s evocative packaging has a nostalgic, “retro” feel, topped with a screw cap and inspired by classic jam jar lids. With the holidays coming up, it’s the perfect time to get your hands on a bottle (or two) of Jam Jar Wine. They’re available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $11.99.
To make drinking your wine even more enjoyable, one lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will win a Jam Jar Wines gift bag (sorry no wine can be included legally in this giveaway). However, the gift bag does include an insulated picnic wine tote (perfect for those romantic dates at the park!), a set of coasters, an apron, and some holiday chocolates.

From the time when European royals drank chocolate to when chocolatiers formed the delicious candy into bars and truffles, chocolate has always been a luxury treat. Eating chocolate is a sensation, tantalizing taste buds with silky textures and full cocoa flavors. Really delicious chocolate can even excite strong feelings of happiness and sometimes love. zChocolat knows quality matters most in creating a riveting chocolate experience. When giving that special someone a box of chocolates this holiday season, zChocolat’s line of gourmet chocolates raises the spatula and goes beyond the bon-bon wrapper.
zChocolat is created in France by World Champion Chocolatier Pascal Caffet and ships worldwide. Each mini masterpiece is made using high-grade, single-origin chocolate from Venezuela, the Ivory Coast, and Bolivia. The devilishly rich ganache is prepared with top-shelf quality butter and cream from Normandy, and even the nuts are ensured to be nothing but the best, hailing from Spain and Italy. These worldly ingredients combine in 26 different ways to please even the most particular chocolate connoisseur.
Luxury doesn’t stop at the wrapper with these chocolate dreams. zChocolat nestles their exquisite creations inside of a gorgeous box for a truly memorable treat. Impress your honey this Christmas by choosing from an elegant handcrafted mahogany box or a holiday-special crimson box. To further customize this stocking-stuffer, you can include a personal photo, logo, or card inside and even have the zChocolate box engraved. Plus, you can hand-select the chocolates to fulfill their coconut cream and chocolate toffee fantasies!
We at CupidsPulse.com had the privilege of indulging in these delectable chocolates, and all we can say is wow! zChocolat more than delivers on its promise of offering superb chocolates. Each piece is creamy and well-balanced, and all of the unique flavor notes from almond to red pepper can be tasted in each bundle of chocolate sublimity. All of the girls in the office agreed that if our man got us zChocolat as a gift, we’d be ecstatic. And now, one lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will get to enjoy a box of decadence as well!

“Having fresh, festive flowers in our home and on our dinner table during the holidays really helps brings the season to life,” said Willie and Korie Robertson, two of the stars of Duck Dynasty. They picked out the Holiday Flair Centerpiece, a hand-blown glass bowl filled with red roses, as their favorite Christmas arrangement. Jase and Missy Robertson prefer the Jeweled Ornament Bouquet, which features fresh roses as well as some beautifully decorated ornaments, while Jep and Jessica Robertson like the Cuddle Bears Bouquet, a sweet polar bear vase filled with red and white florals.
Another one of Teleflora’s Christmas arrangements is the lovely Thomas Kinkade’s Starry Night, which is a hand-crafted and hand-painted centerpiece.

As an added bonus, the embellished and sparkling charm can be removed and worn as the perfect finishing touch to any outfit.
Further showing his love for his fans, beginning on October 7th and ending on December 9th, Bieber will release one song every Monday as part of his Music Mondays series.

Radiant, flawless skin is an automatic turn-on for attracting that special guy. Unfortunately, no one has the time or money to visit an esthetician at a fancy spa for facials each week.

Real Chemistry is an innovative line of skin care products scientifically formulated to gently yet effectively create instantly clearer, brighter, and softer skin.

It’s no secret that the Dancing with the Starscast works up a sweat practicing and performing all of those dance routines every week. And, to start this year’s competitors off on the right foot, Celsius gifted the cast with their negative calorie drink. After all, clinical studies show that drinking a refreshing sugar-free Celsius before exercising (or dancing) helps burn up to 100 calories or more per serving. It also boosts metabolism, reduces body fat, increases endurance, and provides lasting energy to power you through your routine and beyond. Stars of the show like Karina Smirnoff, Witney Carson, Jack Osbourne, Corbin Bleu, and new hottie Gleb Savchenko sipped on a nice cold Celsius to kick off the season premiere.
Celsius is powered by MetaPlus®, a blend of ingredients designed to work together to increase calorie burning over a three-hour period. It will make you feel great and ease your mind knowing that the blend of healthier ingredients such as Green Tea, Ginger, Calcium, Caffeine, Guarana, and Vitamins B and C are fueling your body. Even better, studies show Celsius may reduce body fat, increase endurance, and provide greater resistance to fatigue (which means increased energy).
And the team at CupidsPulse.com knows that looking your best and having more energy is great way to boost your dating life! And, for those couples out there, why not use that extra energy you get from Celsius to surprise your lover with a spontaneous date night. This blend of increased endurance and resistance to fatigue is also what the Dancing with the Stars cast needs to wow the judges!
It comes in five delicious natural flavors: two non-carbonated green tea flavors, Raspberry Acai and Peach Mango, as well as three sparkling flavors, including Orange, Wild Berry, and Cola. Celsius is also available in “On-the-Go Stick Packets” or powdered drink mix (30 serving canister) that can be added to water or your favorite non-carbonated beverage for a delicious orange flavor. Grab the healthy alternative negative calorie drink before your next exercise activity and see the difference!
Now, one lucky CupidsPulse.com reader will get to enjoy this fabulous negative calorie drink! We’re giving away a swag bag just like the one given to the Dancing with the Stars cast. The bag, valued at $125, includes: a Celsius tank top, a drawstring gym bag, water bottle, one can of each Celsius flavor, and on-the-go-sticks.

It’s amazing how one or two pieces of jewelry can impact, not only how others perceive you, but how you perceive yourself. It’s no coincidence that in every culture, from ancient Mesopotamia to 21st century New York City, people have adorned themselves with bracelets, rings, and necklaces. To an alien species, it might seem to be a strange practice, but we understand that there’s just something about the mild weight of a pair of dangle earrings or the sparkle of an elegant ring that makes you hold your head higher, stand straighter, and smile more brightly.
It’s also a form of self-expression: a daily opportunity to show the world who you are or, perhaps, who you want to be. The combination of classic and modern designs in your jewelry ensemble imbues you with the appearance and the confidence of one who has timeless taste yet is still up-to-date on all the current trends. Perhaps no brand strikes the balance between old and new more effortlessly than Bijouxx, a new virtual store dedicated to making luxury affordable.
“It’s been a dream of mine to open up a retail jewelry business, and after much research, I am excited to be able to bring something unique to the market,” states David Ryan Pomije, Chief Executive Officer.
Bijouxx takes pride in blending classic and modern designs into their gorgeous gemstone, diamond, yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, and sterling silver products, all of which is priced under $1,000.
Their Macey’s Amethyst Drops are a beautiful pair of dangle earrings made of 0.25ct diamond, 8.90ct amethyst, and 14k rose gold. Ancient Egyptians used to wear amethysts to fend off feelings of guilt or fear. Their Fab Pink Ring is a double checkerboard cut pink sapphire sterling silver ring. Pink sapphires have been traditionally associated with the ability to overcome shyness. So, if you’re feeling nervous before a date, the amethyst drops earrings and pink sapphire ring can give you the confidence boost you need — if not for the folklore, then for the stunning addition they will make to your ensemble.
Now, CupidsPulse.com and Bijouxx are teaming up to offer two CupidsPulse.com readers a Fab Pink Ring, valued at $89.99!

Sometimes you need — or maybe want — something new. Summer’s coming to a close, and fall is rolling in quickly — why not embrace the changing seasons with a new fragrance? Taylor Swift is doing just that. After being honored with the Fragrance Celebrity of the Year Award this June at the 41st Annual Fragrance Foundation Awards, she’s been hard at work launching her newest fragrance, Taylor by Taylor Swift. Third in her line (after Wonderstruck and Wonderstruck Enchanted), this new perfume takes a personal turn for the songstress.

Mariah Carey is, without a doubt, one of the biggest pop stars of the past two decades. The songstress and actress has redefined what it means to be a diva, and now, she wants to share her dreams with her fans. Carey’s newest fragrance, Mariah Carey Dreams, reflects the goals she’s fulfilled in her career: she’s the best-selling female artist of all time with 18 number one hits and over 200 million records sold worldwide, she’s won multiple Grammy awards, along with being a wonderful wife and a mother.
Dreams is an exhilarating perfume that celebrates the intimate moments in life that help you achieve your dreams. With aromas of warm patchouli, Tonka bean, and Madagascar vanilla to form the fragrance’s base, Carey tops off her creation with hints of honeysuckle, freesia, lily of the valley, salted caramel apple, star anise, bergamot, and toasted almonds. This combination creates a scent that’s entrancing and delicious — almost dreamlike.
Plus, Carey takes her creative process one step further by designing the bottle to represent a champagne flute, with its curves and slim packaging. Its decorative butterflies — a symbol so very often associated with the singer/songwriter — wrap around the bottle to represent what matters most to Carey.
Want a chance to experience Carey’s new fragrance? Two CupidsPulse.com readers have the opportunity to each win a bottle of Mariah Carey Dreams and feel like a diva. Wear this light perfume to experience the down-to-earth life moments Carey wants to share with her fans.

When the two of you head to class, bring your Gaiam yoga mat and block with you in one of their many classy yoga bags. You and your cutie will bond over the progress each of you make and connect over a new activity you both enjoy.

The way you smell can leave a lasting impression on a man. You want to make sure that your scent is attractive and can turn on a man the minute you get close to him. After all, you want to be the girl that he’s remembering for the rest of the night. Lucky for you, we’ve taken the guesswork out of finding a new fragrance: Justin Bieber’s Someday perfume is exactly what you need to leave an imprint on that special guy.
Someday‘s aroma is fruity and light yet smooth and enticing, which makes it perfect for both day and night. The notes of juicy pear and wild berries mix alongside the creamy florals and vanilla to create a sweet but deliciously velvet scent. The mandarin, jasmine and soft musks set a tone of flirtatiousness that will keep this fragrance anchored for hours to come. The pop star stated that Someday “explains a dream” and that it’s all about what the woman wants. If you want to live your fantasy, Someday is perfect for you.
This fragrance is kept in an extraordinary lavender glass bottle that will immediately catch your eye. The head of the bottle holds a playful flow of a red and pink blossoming rose in the shape of a heart. There’s even a detachable lock-and-key in the form of a silver crystalized heart, which can be used as a keychain if so desired.

Summer’s here! It’s time for some fun in the sun and sand with your friends, family and maybe that special someone. Your beach trip won’t be perfect without the right swimsuit though. Take a cue from Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock and starlet AnnaLynne McCord: they’re showing off their hot bikini bodies in Voda Swim. These bathing suits are sure to make you feel great and to catch your man’s (or crush’s) attention.
When you’re getting ready for a date, you always want to look and feel your best. You spend hours styling your hair, doing your makeup and staring into your closet as you pick the perfect outfit. But what most women forget is that what you do before you get dressed is just as important for your night out as that cute little black dress. School of Wash’s handmade bath and beauty products are what you need to start the night off great. Their products are fresh and fabulous – guaranteed to make you feel pampered as you prep for your hot date! …want more? Click here.
Fragrance is the key to making a long-lasting impression. It really is that simple. Our brains are programmed to associate scent with memory, so even the faintest aroma can evoke a recollective wave of emotion. Crabtree & Evelyn understands this. Drawing inspiration from the quintessential English garden, they have been dedicated to creating original fragrances and luxurious bath and body products that “transform everyday rituals into extraordinarily pleasurable experiences” since 1972.

With summer quickly approaching, it’s the perfect time to enjoy a home-cooked meal on your patio or maybe a picnic in your backyard with that special someone. We know that date nights aren’t always easy to plan, so we’ve decided to help you out.
Nothing is more brilliant than finding the perfect man. But winning a pair of beautiful and sparkling diamond earrings by Brilliance Diamonds would be a close second! Not only will they dress up your typical outfit like nothing else, but having one in each ear will make every day seem like a party. Plus, the glimmer near your eyes will brighten up your whole face and make even the most tired gal look more energized. These white gold, four-pronged diamonds feature a classic round-cut stone, sure to make every fashionista jealous.
Summer is almost here! This year’s fashion style is all about the vintage look, and no outfit is complete without the perfect bag. You want something fashionable and functional, something that will go with your cute summer dresses and rompers. You also want a bag that offers comfort and durability. You want something that will look cute when you are carrying your laptop to the library but also be large enough to take on a romantic hike through the woods with your sweetheart. Well, we have the perfect go-to bag for you from Rakuda!
