Hard Candy is a must around the holiday season. It has always been exciting to see the different sets and seasonal releases from this drugstore brand. Some years, there were so many options available, it was difficult to know what to choose. This year? There were two different skin care sets and no seasonal makeup items. (At least in the stores that I visited that happen to carry the brand.) I am trying to be more mindful about my purchases, which can be difficult at times, but the Skin Serenity Set checked off some boxes for me. There were two different scents. The vanilla one, A Vanilla Dream, stood out to me, because this last year, vanilla scented products have been some of my most used. It is time to take a closer look at this seasonal set.
The Skin Serenity Set is labelled as "a post-shower routine for soft, hydrated skin" and it comes with four different products:
- Whipped Vanilla Body Oil.
- Vanilla Swirl Body Scrub.
- Vanilla Mint Lip Balm.
- Sugar Cookie Lip Balm.
This post-shower skin care set had a nice assortment of products for a reasonable price. It was less than $10 CDN for the set, making it an ideal holiday gift. (Or post-holiday gift, if there are still some available at the store.) This is something that I chose to treat myself to and open on Christmas morning. The Whipped Vanilla Body oil is a really nice product to use after a shower. The brand describes this as a "deeply nourishing body oil" that melts into the skin. This is definitely nourishing and left my skin feeling pampered. It is an effective way to combat the dry winter weather. It also smells wonderful. It has notes of whipped vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and warm amber, making this a warm and cozy scent that is ideal for the winter months.
The next item in this set is the Vanilla Swirl Body Scrub, which is described as a product that "gently exfoliates while leaving the skin soft, smooth, and lightly scented." It is nice to have a good body scrub on hand, especially with the cooler temperatures, and this one works well. It is effective, but doesn't irritate my skin, and it smells lovely. It has notes of vanilla bean, spun sugar, and sweet cream. The last two items in this Hard Candy set are lip balms. There is the Vanilla Mint Lip Balm and the Sugar Cookie Lip Balm. I love that the vanilla scent is incorporated in different ways - and the Vanilla Mint Lip Balm is a notable example. This has notes of vanilla mint, soft coconut, and fresh air. It is a thick and hydrating lip balm that smells fresh. As for the Sugar Cookie Lip Balm, this has notes of vanilla frosting, golden sugar, and baked shortbread. It is no secret that I love food scents, so it is the Sugar Cookie Lip Balm that has been used most so far. It is definitely a standout in this holiday themed set.
All of the products in the Skin Serenity Set perform well and make the post-holiday season better. Cute packaging, an affordable price, and a thoughtful assortment of vanilla scented products makes this Hard Candy holiday set a winner.
