More Valentine's Day! I must say that even though I hate the holiday, I always find tons of products to buy from the limited edition releases that come out this time of the year. This year has been no different so far so I am actually excited to look at more products now. This time around, we are looking at Philosophy's limited edition fragrances and sets made for the holiday. On first glance of the Philosophy page on the Sephora website, it appears that most of the new items are surrounding a fragrance named Sweet On You, based on the fragrance of the ever-populat Valentine's Day candy hearts. Philosophy Valentine's Day 3-in-1s have the reputation of starting out as limited edition fragrance but then becoming so popular that they are introduced as part of the permanent collection, such as Pink Frosted Layer Cake and Red Velvet Cake. I can't wait to see how it plays out this time around!As noted above, Sweet On You seems to be the biggest release of the season. It is made on both individual full-sized products and smaller sizes in a set. First, we are going to look at the individual products; the 3-in-1, the body lotion, and the lip gloss. "A three-in-one Shampoo, Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath in the delectably sweet scent of candy hearts. This candy-scented gel is extra rich and creamy to gently cleanse and condition, leaving skin and hair feeling ultra-soft". The matching lotion is described as, "A moisturizing body lotion in the delectably sweet scent of candy hearts. This ultra-rich body lotion is formulated with nuturing shea butter and natural olive and macademia nut oils to help soften skin and aid in moisture retention. The luxurious formula melts easily into skin for a non-greasy feel and skin that's irresistably soft". There is also a lip shine available in this new fragrance, "A sweet, high-gloss, high-flavor lip shine. This cheery lip shine is lip-smacking delicious. The emollient formula hydrates, smoothes, and softens lips while providing a sheer, beautiful shine and a hint of natural color. Its mouthwatering candy hearts flavor tastes so yummy, it will encourage plenty of sweet kisses on Valentine's Day". This lip gloss gives a hint of rose colored shimmer when applied to the lips.
In addition to single products, Sweet On You is available in a little set perfect for gift giving. "A set that includes candy heart-scented Shampoo, Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath, Body Lotion, and high-gloss, high-flavor Lip Shine. This sweet candy-scented trio of moisturizing formulas condition skin and hair and leave lips feeling smooth with beautiful shine. Its the sweetest gift you can give to the sweetheart in your life". The body products in this set of 4 oz. sizes instead of the usual 16 oz. sizes that are sold individually.
Candy hearts are a favorite candy of mine so I love that Philosophy made a whole line of products devoted to this fragrance. I want to buy all of the single products and will be stocking up on this one just in case it stays limited edition. Though I am willing to bet this fragrance will be so popular that it will either become permanent or be renamed and brought out again in another season. This is turning into a very strong Valentine's Day, beauty wise...
