PR Sample: I received Sara Happ's Sugar and Shine Holiday Lip Kit ($38) to review. This is a limited-edition, holiday-themed lip scrub & gloss set that are in tubes! This makes them so easy to travel with and portable. It also makes a great Christmas gift. All opinion's in this post and in my video are 100% my own. Below are my thoughts.

Sara Happ Sugar and Shine Holiday Lip Kit is Sweet
This set includes two (2) lip scrubs (Hot Cocoa & Pink Marshmallow) and one (1) lip gloss (Whipped Vanilla). The packaging also serves as a cute ornament! I love that beauty companies are putting their products in ornament packaging. Can you imagine someone making a BEAUTY Christmas tree for you, filled with beauty products!?! It would be so nice. Well let me share my thoughts with you on each product. I've been testing these for a couple of weeks now.
Hot Cocoa Lip Scrub
It smells exactly like hot cocoa with whip cream! It smells really good. Now, the taste! It has both a bitter & sweet taste. This took me off guard at first. I'm use to drinking milk chocolate hot cocoa, which is sweet. I had to think about it a bit, this tasted more like DARK CHOCOLATE. Dark chocolate is more bitter. I'm not sure if that is what Sara Happ was channeling, but that's what I tasted. So if you're a fan of dark chocolate, then you will love this scrub. It's more bitter than sweet. It exfoliates and moisturizes the lips really well. You can use the applicator to apply the scrub directly to the lips or squeeze a small amount on your fingertips and apply it to your lips.
Pink Marshmallow Lip Scrub
I love pink marshmallows! I love marshmallows period. Well this pink marshmallow lip scrub smells just like marshmallows (which is a soft scent) and tastes like them (a very SWEET taste). It's a sweet sugar taste. This scrub also exfoliates and moisturizes lips really well.
The Lip Slip Whipped Vanilla Lip Gloss
The last product you apply to your lips is Sara Happ's Whipped Vanilla Lip Slip! It's a lip gloss that smells like vanilla frosting. I've reviewed The Lip Slip Balm in a jar and also The Lip Slip Gloss in a tube. I found both to be moisturizing and have staying power. The same for this one! I love that Sara Happ made this scented and look forward to her making more scented glosses. The Lip Slip is a rich, thick and highly moisturizing gloss. I really liked this set and feel it will make a great stocking stuffer or office gift. It's a great introduction to Sara Happ.
