Holiday handful trio - hand cream discontinued by Cake Beauty - review by Kimmie1980ca

Are you looking for a good quality hand creme? Look no further, the Holiday Handful Trio by Cake Beauty is just that! The holiday gift set features three of their top quality hand cremes, two of them feature a wonderful light scent, that is super moisturizing, and packed with vitamins. The third hand creme is un-scented, and without dyes for those with sensitive skin or allergies. These hand cremes will soothe the driest, most irritated skin, even skin that suffers from psoriasis. I have sensitive skin, and cannot use most products, however, these products work wonders, and are all natural. These products are for anyone looking for a high quality hand creme, that can easily be tossed in your purse. This would make an excellent gift, especially during the holiday season.

The texture of these products are wonderful. They're smooth, velvety, creamy, and doesn't leave a sticky or oily feeling. They are the perfect consistency, not overly thick, but not too thin either. They all squeeze out of the bottles with little effort, but wont run out if sitting on the bed. They are the perfect consistency, that it doesn't leak out of the bottles, which makes it perfect for carrying in your purse without any worry.



When applying the cremes to your hands, it takes less then a minute to soak in. In the beginning you would think that it might be greasy, but that only lasts a few seconds. As soon as you start rubbing your hands, it nicely soaks into your skin. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed, silky and smooth, and actually doesn't wash away instantly when placing your hands under water.



The first creme (Milk Made Velveteen Hand Creme) is white in color, and doesn't have any added dyes. The second creme (Vanilla Snow Woman Velveteen Hand Creme) is a light pink color, and carries a little bit of red dye. If you're sensitive, this creme is one you may want to stay away from. The third creme (Un sweet Velveteen Hand Creme) is white in color, and doesn't have any added dyes or added scents. The last creme is for those that have super sensitive skin, or sensitive to smells. A little goes a long way, you only need a pea or dime size to fully moisturize your hands.



Cake products contain up to 95% natural ingredients that are derived from sustainable and renewable resources. They are also 100% paraben free and stand firm against animal testing, hence all products are "approved by beauty junkies" – not tested on animals .

The Milk Made Velveteen Hand Creme smells amazing, with a fruity, yet not overly sweet smell. It has a hint of raspberry, mango, with a hint of vanilla, and smells almost good enough to eat. It's a nice clean smell, that is stronger fresh out of the bottle, yet a light fragrance once massaged into skin.

The Vanilla Snow Woman Velveteen Hand Creme smells equally yummy as the first. It smells like vanilla cake, fresh out of the oven. This creme smells a bit sweeter then the first hand creme, so it's an acquired scent. This hand creme is also stronger fresh out of the bottle, but lighter once massaged into the skin.

If you're using these products for massage purposes, and happen to lick it off someone, it actually doesn't taste bad. It has a sweet taste, but with a slight perfume taste. This product isn't meant to eat, drink, or lick off someone's body, but if you do taste it, it's not bad!

The final hand creme: Un Sweet Velveteen Hand Creme, is an un-scented version of the others, and doesn't contain any dyes or perfumes. This is perfect for anyone with super sensitive skin or allergies to scents. This item is the perfect hand creme for the office, as many people may have an allergy to different fragrances. This creme has no smell, or taste, although I don't recommend eating it!

If you're someone looking for a lightly scented hand creme, this is an excellent product. If you're looking for something unscented, Cake Beauty also carries an unscented version.

These products are by far the BEST hand cremes that I've tried to date. I have sensitive skin, suffer from psoriasis, and am constantly washing dishes... these products have done wonders for my skin. When I find a product that I truly love, I tell the world. These products I LOVE, and will continue to use them. I love the fact that the scents are mild enough, that I can actually use it at work in the office, or on a bus, or in the car. My mother is hooked on them as well, and said it's the only products that have healed her chapped hands.

I love that there's a un-scented version included in this gift set, as there's one hand creme in this set that would suit everyone.

When it comes to the packaging of this product, it comes in a recyclable cardboard box. The front of the box is mainly light pink in color, and has white snowflakes scattered around. It has a photo featuring the three cremes that are included: Milk Made Velveteen Hand Creme, Vanilla Snow Woman Velveteen Hand Creme, and the Un Sweet Velveteen Hand Creme. Towards the top it says "Holiday Handful", and has a string of cartoon mittens on a clothesline. At the bottom it has the Cake logo, along with "Hand Creme Trio" printed.



The back of the box is the same colors and has the snowflake pattern. It has "Holiday Handful" and the Cake logo at the top, and below a description of what the product is. It has a breakdown of each hand creme that is included in the set, and shows the full ingredients list for each.



Each creme is in a plastic flip-top 100ml/3.4fl.oz bottle. The size of the bottles are each 5.5" in length, and 1.5" in width, and is roughly about 1.5" thick. The size of the bottles are perfect for travelling, and can easily be carried in your purse. On the back of the bottles, there's an icon that symbolizes that the product is green. You're able to recycle the bottle once it's finished.

This is such a great idea to include three different hand cremes in one package. I love the variety, there's a hand creme for everyone. These are my absolute favorite hand cremes to date, and will continue to use these products. I've tried a few Cake Beauty's products, and have been incredibly satisfied with each. I have sensitive skin, and none of these products irritate it. I suffer from psoriasis, and I found that the condition of my skin actually improved while using these hand cremes. The box states that this is a limited edition gift package, I sure hope they come up with something that is offered all year round.
