LIQUID LIP | Hard Candy Velvet Mousse

I'm back with another color!

After the pink one I was a bit discouraged from this line, but when I went to Walmart to return it, I saw the Walmart I went to had full stock of every color. I chose a neutral one so even if  I don't love it I could probably give it to a friend. This color is a bit of a paler pink nude, on my complexion, but it pairs well if a darker eye look

Review & Swatches: Hard Candy Plumping Serum

With flash
Shown in Uptown Girl

Pros:

- Glossy
- Faint vanilla scent

Cons:

- Could burn a little at first

- Sheer (could be pro for some)

Verdict:

If you're looking for a plumping gloss that doesn't burn really badly, you could try this out. As a lip gloss, I like the glossiness of it but the color is sheer. The shimmer is not quite fine but not chunky either.

Price:
Full size is $4-6 for 0.10 oz / 2.7 g

Technically $2 out of the $8 First Flush Kit

for 0.04 oz / 1.2 g

Repurchase?

Considering I have a ton of sheer glosses, probably not.

Review & Swatches: Hard Candy Glow All the Way Highlighter

Pros

- Blends in nicely

- No chunky glitter

- Good value

Cons

Verdict

I believe the full size come with 2.7 oz for $8, that'll last forever unless you use a ton on your body. This product gives a beautiful glow, something people with dry skin would probably appreciate. I have oily combination skin, and my skin looks pretty dewy as it is... So I won't have much use for this.

When squeezing this out of the tube, you want to be careful because you could easily get too much. I would say use a tiny little dot for your cheeks.

Price:

This one is from the First Flush kit

0.35 oz / 9.9 g

The full size is 2.7 oz / 76.5 g for $8

Repurchase?

Considering I don't use highlighter on my face... No.

Review & Swatches: Hard Candy Baked Blush in Living Doll

The one that comes in the $8 First Flush set, not sure if it's quite exactly the same one since it doesn't have the gold strands

One swipe

Blended in

Pros:

- Pigmented (I hear the actual product that's $6 is sheer, anyone want to verify?)

- Good value

Cons:

- Could look frosty on the skin

- Shimmer / frost accentuates bumps if you have any (same with any shimmer blushes, just thought I'd throw it out there)

- Not a "creamy" powder

Verdict:

I am pleased with this blush. Although it could get a little frosty it is very pretty. Not sure exactly how this compares with the full size product, but I recommend the set anyway to try some Hard Candy products out.

For a "sample" size 5 grams is quite a bit of product, some full size blushes don't even amount to that much.

Price:

Technically $2 out of the $8 set

for 0.18 oz / 5 g

Repurchase?

Maybe the set as a gift for someone.
