Hard Candy Cosmetics Review & Giveaway



Hi everyone! Some of you may have already know or heard about a cosmetic line called Hard Candy, which are exclusively sold at Walmart. I wear make-up but have not tried their products. When I first discovered their cosmetic line online, I was captured by the name and their fancy designs. I was given the opportunity to test them out and share with you my review.

I received the following:
1) Button Your Lip - Ultra wet lip gloss with lip liner
2) Hot Smudge - Eyeliner/eyeshadow duo in Rocker Chick #289
3) Just Nails with a ring to it - Nail enamel in Envy (aqua/green color)




They have a wide selection of shades and colors and various makeup products, and wish I could try other ones. It's cool. I love trying new things.

The lip gloss is a brush on push button pen and glides on very smoothly and made my lip look soft. Many other ones are twist. This is very clever with fast click if your other hand is holding something else. It has a very pretty, natural color too. This I can wear every day.



The duo eyeshadow is also nice. There are 2 color palettes (one green like emerald and one black) and comes with the two-sided applicator/brush. The Duo cream eyelinder/smudge shadow is housed in long, sexy case. It's everything you want in a cream eyeliner but more precision than a pencil and more forgiving that a liquid. The ultra-creamy formula offers more control, playtime and coverage than typical liners. I usually wear warm colors (such as bronze or brown or smokey grey), but this is a bit of a change. I can easily match it with my turquoise top that I already have.



The matching color nail polish goes well too. It has a bit of shimmer in it. The nail polish came with a matching color ring made of plastic. The long-lasting, chip-resistant polish ensure flawless results with each application, and is DBP (toluene and formaldehyde free).



BUY IT

As mentioned, you can purchase Hard Candy at your local Walmart stores. The entire collection is super affordable and fabulous and average cost around $6.00.

  91. I'm following your blog on Google and Hard Candy on Facebook and I've visited the site :)

    My absolute favorite product among many others is the Meteor Eyes - Baked Meteor Eyeshadow! All the colours are fabulously delicious! and go so great with bold alternative styles of dress.

    I also love the Eye Tattoo it takes a great deal of time off my hands and saves me from doing the animal patterns myself ^_^
