Hard Candy's Glow Away - can go away

Hello:

Today I tried Hard Candy's Glow Away dual ended bronzer and highlighter stick.  Described by Hard Candy's website as: "Duo bronzer and marble swirl highlighter stick delivers an instant bronze glow on one side and shimmering highlights on the other. In a stick format for easy mess-free application, the soft formula glides on smooth for all day glow and shimmer. Lightweight, creamy formula blends effortlessly to provide a gorgeous vacation glow! 3 bronze shades – Maui, Tahiti, Bora Bora and 1 marbelized Highlighter."  I got it for $6 at Wal-mart it's also available Here.

I got the "lightest" shade - Maui

 

Immediately upon opening the package both ends fell out as seen below:

So for a whole lot of packaging you get about 3/4 an inch of product on each end.

So I mashed the product back into the tube as carefully as I could so it would still roll up or down.  And then I "swatched"it on my face putting the bronze on my lower cheekbone and the highlighter on top.

As you can see even though it is the lightest bronze shade it is quite dark and a bit orange on me

Then I blended it in and it looked a bit more natural.

Overall, I know this product only cost $6 but unless you are a medium skin tone and really like dewy looking highlights, I don't know if you would enjoy this product.

Hard Candy's Visibly Wet Shockingly Glossy Lip Pencil - Sheer version

Hello:

I back with the longest titled lip pencil ever, but in their sheer formula.  It's Hard Candy's Visibly Wet Shockingly Glossy Lip pencil in Glamazon. 

I got it at Wal-Mart for $6, but it's not currently on their website.

I am having a hard time describing the color - when it's on it's almost the exact same color on my lips.  But if you look at it, you would guess it to be a orange/red.  So it seems the color in the pencil, is not terribly indicative of what you will get.  It also goes on very sheer so your just getting a hint of color.

1 swipe of lip pencil

3 swipes of lip pencil

 So, I like the color but it doesn't last and isn't terribly moisturizing.  I like the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm better and it doesn't cost much more.

Hard Candy's Visibly Wet Shockingly Glossy Lip Pencil...is way too long of a title

Hello:

Today I tried Hard Candy's Visibly Wet Shonckingly Glossy Lip Pencil (are they serious with that title?  Could it be any longer?)  And much like the title less is more with this product! 

It's $6.00 at Walmart - check it out Here

The color I got was Jezebel a deep fuscia that looks just like the packaging it comes in so be ready for pigmented lips!

It goes on just like lipstick (very creamy) and is opaque in one swipe.  This is not for those looking for a little bit of color, but it pays off in wear time.  It lasted 5 hours on me and I had blotted my lips a little.

Visibly Wet and Shockingly Glossy, also way more metallic than I expected!

I got compliments from several strangers so that's a good sign.  I liked it, and the only complaint I have is that as it wears off it leaves glitter grains behind.  Other than that if you like a bold lip and have $6.00 to spend, it's a good choice!
