Hard Candy!

[lunargale]

Okay going to put in my 2 cents! Some of you may have seen the FOTD's that i do. I almost ALWAYS use HC or HIP.

I LOVE the backed eyeshadows and used "AB FAB" almost exclusively for this look. http://www.specktra.net/forum/f166/p...-heavy-156618/ The baked shadows go on very nicely wet and are a little lighter dry.

I found i didn tlike my face primer that much so I use my benefit one instead.

I ADORE my mascara! I use Ginormous Lash. However, my little sistre bought another one (i cant recall right now) and it FLAKED within five minutes or so. Now, my OLDER sister bought (i think its called ) 'curl up and dye' and she loves it. It curls her lashes and stays put. She also bought some glitter liners and colored liquid liners that she seems to really be liking. All in all i will go back to HC just as soon as they get some more colors! COLORS PEOPLE! LOL. I'm just glad wal-mart is finally carrying something that will stay on your lids and not in a neutral tone.


As a side note about the baked shadows- I used a 5 dollar LOreal eyelid primer and my shadows have been on since 8am and it is now 11:57pm...no creasing, no flaking. I hope this rant helps some of you!

Also great for contouring as it isn't orange-based.

i have Tiki as well. i'm about a NC15-20 and Tiki is pretty even with my skin.. gives off a nice shimmer, but definitely not bronzing!

The baked shadows are really nice

Is this line available at Canadian Walmarts? Anyone know?

 

[Caderas]

has anyone tried the 'Take Out Liners'? they are shaped like chopsticks, soooooo cute!

they had a wide variety of color from blue to duochrome-purple, and even a "Pharaoh"-colored green called Ahi that I really wanted to try! TIA<3

I know a few people who ordered them offline, and they arrived broken and in a plastic baggy. :/

I bought the Painted Lady lipstick in Delirious (I think) yesterday and I am so impressed! The packaging is so cute-although not really practical for storage, but whatever. The color is STUNNING! I have been looking for a bright yet deep pink forever and this is it <3

The formula does have a bit of slip, so if you don't use a lip primer/lip pencil I could definitely see this bleeding. It's intense color but very light-feeling and glossy. I really love this lipstick and I'll definitely pick up some more items on my next trip to Walmart!

oh man.. i wouldn't be surprised! i almost broke one trying to get it out of the plastic cylinder that was under other products! they are longer than my actual chopsticks, haha. they seemed kind of cheaply made for the price.. course, what can i expect for a company wal-mart takes in trying to do great packaging?

I have "Sushi". It is what MAC Pigment in Pink Pearl would be if it was made into pencil form...a medium pinky-purple with blue duochrome. I use it as a lipliner rather than an eyeliner. I like it! <3

I saw the display yesterday at walmart and HAD to get something. The packaging is just TOO CUTE to pass up. I got the Visibly Wet Shockingly Glossy Lip Pencil in Precious. It's a semi-sheer, semi-orangey reddish pink. It's not shockingly glossy, but it does have a little shine. I like it alright, but I'm not sure about this shade on me. I want to try a different color, but I do like the idea. I also got the Foiled Again Metallic Shadow Stick in Celestine. I thought maybe I could use it as a shadow base, but not quite. I only tried it on my browbone last night because I was in a hurry. It's a very sheer shimmery white. Has a bit of glitter to it. Too sheer for me. Might work on a darker skintone, but I'm very pale and you can barely see it. I wouldn't buy another one. Definitely want to get some more HC though. Very cute stuff.

My local Wal-Mart finally got the Hard Candy line and I got a shit-ton of stuff; a bronzer, five baked eye shadows, and four liquid liners. I had to stop myself from getting a few of the glitter creams and a glitter mascara. Anyway, I like the bronzer a lot (I got Heat Wave) and the eye shadows are pretty good as well. Not as great as the more recent/better MAC MES (I personally think the Magic & Myrth ones are fabulous!) but pretty good for what you paid for them. I mean let's be honest, was Hard Candy ever anyones "go-to" e/s line? I have every one of the orginal quartets and like them a lot , but they aren't the world's best shadows, so I was expecting that with these either. They are good though and have a somewhat sheer/metallic/shiny finish and you can get good color pay-off with some sort of base. I haven't worn any of the liners yet, but I tested them on my hand and they didn't budge and looked great. I'm excited about the line and I hope they expand it.

I was wondering the same! We never get anything good over here

I've been wearing their tinted moisturizer in "Fair" for about 3 hours now, and so far I'm really liking it. It gives light coverage versus "just sheer," unlike most tinted moisturizers, so I was surprised! It looks yellow in the tube, which scared me, but it blends out without any major tint and looks just fine. The texture is really creamy and smooth, very easy to blend. I used 2 pea-sized dots for my entire face and the upper part of my neck, then set it with a bit of E.L.F powder. My skin looks great right now!

I was using the TM prior to purchasing Revlon PhotoReady. As far as TM's go, I'd say it's probably the best I've ever used. It offers a lot of coverage for a TM, almost comparable to foundation. I also got 3 of the baked shadow duos, but I wasn't that impressed with them. The colors are lovely but unless you apply them wet they aren't very pigmented. I'm wanting to try the blush and a few of the lippies but I'm trying not to add anything to my stash right now!

I love the tinted moisturizer and the baked blushes/bronzers. The baked blush in HoneyMoon is a wonderful highlight for your cheeks, down the middle of the nose. I have gotten so many compliments on my skin since wearing it!

 

[xsnowwhite]

i just got the lipstick in 'fire alarm' and its the perfect nude! i love it it goes on really creamy and pretty opaque. the name doesnt describe the color at all which is weird but i love it

I just picked up some of the sheer envy primer and tinted moisturizer today. I'm hopeful about them. The tinted moisturizer is almost a PERFECT match for me (MAC NC20, BB warm ivory). I also own a couple of their painted lady lipsticks. I couldn't resist the adorable packaging! The blushes also look awesome, but I'm too afraid to try them because they contain mineral oil.

All in all, I'm LOVING the brand. I still own a few of the items from when Hard Candy was considered high-end and the quality of the drugstore line is just as wonderful!
