Hard Candy Review and Swatches

Filed under Hard Candy, Swatches
OH man I am pooped! I had to work today from 9-7 and then ran home for a quick break and then back to work from 9-11. And I am finally able to work on some fun stuff. Forgive me if this comes out all scatter brained.. it’s cause I am feeling that way;P

Hard Candy is back and is now available at Walmart.com. There are somethings I like about Hard Candy and somethings I find just “mediocre”. Out of all the products PR sent I really think Flirt’s color and Heartbreaker’s non sticky feeling stood out to me. Flirt’s intense color and applicator was super unique. It had a clicky pen and a brush tip (like Stilas) you had to click about 30 times the first time but after that it was smooth sailing.
Flirt gloss and liner (not shown)$8- Thick fuschia lipgloss. Smells like Vanilla and candy but tastes like regular lipgloss. Sticky and glossy. The liner is an automatic liner that is a frosty pinky blush.
Heart Breaker $6- Pale pinky with hints of coral. The container is a hybrid of cardboard and plastic. Cute but will probably get really dirty at the bottom of a purse. This isn’t sticky and again, tasteless. I think if they have samples you should take a lookie at these
In the Shadows Shadow $7-4 muted purples and one white. This also comes with a small primer that works ok if your color already has pigmentation. Be careful because I lightly squeezed and I wasted about half a tube when it all puffed out
The shadow itself is more pigmented than Kat Von D but it isn’t like the 88 palette. They need a little boost with a color base to really show color.
Nail Polish Envy $5- Great color pay off I love it. This stayed on my nails about 4 days before it started to chip. I wore a top coat and base from Zoya prior to application. Dark black green.. smooth consistency and very mysterious



use a sticky base for best results

Well the packaging is certainly cute?
I would really love to try some Hard Candy products; I’ve seen them in Wal-Mart a few times but never really bought any, even after drooling over them all for so long! But I will definetly be buying myself some, maybe as a Stocking-Stuffer for myself, LOL!
Oh my goodness…the Flirt lipgloss is gorgeous!!
wow. love the packaging for the ultra wet lip gloss!! and im a little shocked about the kat von d comparison =T I personally looove her palettes..
I do to.. I think it is because this one was free LOL
i dont think it looks like it at all
i do think the textur and the color of the lip glosses are similar to the urban decay pocket rocket
except with cute pics on them ahah but i just got this, this morning and i mean its not that bad the only thing is that i wish it werent so shimmery (flirt) its a bit too bright in my case but the texture is nice and it smells ok .. i guess tastes bad though =(
They don’t have Hard Candy in walmarts here in canada
And I swear Kat von d was more pigmented than that
Love the color flirt. I have seen this line many times in Walmart but I have not picked up anything. The mineral shadows look very pigmented. Maybe next paycheck…Thanks for the review.
Ok, I am going to start off saying that your nails in the first look AMAZING! I love the design! I must say that I am shocked about the Kat Von D comparison. Anywho, I will be looking for Flirt next time I find myself over at Walmart! Thanks for review!! ^.^
And bless your heart for working such a long day hun!
i love the ‘flirt’ lipgloss.. it’s so sexy! :).. really nice
Cute packaging!
heartbreaker is so pretty
How did u do the little crosshatchy thing on your nails? Sooo cute! Hope your day is less stressful today! :0)
I love the clicky clicky lipgloss, although all you show is beautiful and intrigueing
Awww…i don’t think they sell hard candy here in Canada at Walmart yet! ><
Those nails looks AMAZING! I don’t even usually paint my nails and I wanna try that
.
Also, the packaging looks so pretty!
not really feeling the hard candy :/
Your mani ROCKS!
niiice
I haven’t tried the flirt gloss but it looks really pretty. I’ll have to look for it next time. I like their volumizing lipgloss in all american girl and the mineral blush in honeymoon is gorgeous. I did not like their eyeshadow or liquid eyeliner. Kat Von D is so much better, not really a good comparison. So far its hit and miss with Hard Candy.
The Kat VON D free palette is very comparable to this palette. The ones that are for sale are much better )
OMG!!I have been looking for it so long but each time i go to walmart they don’t have any =(
Everytime I go to my Walmart, they’re sold out of everything from Hard Candy.
it drives me insane because I really want to try their stuff
thanks for the review and swatches (=
Really love the Flirt lipgloss. Reminds me of MACs Hello Kitty collection, forgot the name but has the same colors with the blue iridescent flecks, just MAC’s is more sheer. Been trying to find something similar and this may just be it.
oooooo, yay hard candy!
is it true that it used to be sold at sephora?
are the blushes any good?
I <3 the lipglosses. Thanks for the recommendations.
Ohh that’s so unfortunate I just got the Kat Von D pallette from Sephora
Well it’s good to see that the Hard Candy is a cheaper alternative! I must try it! <3
i hate the clicky pen lipglosses
I love Hard Candy! I’m so glad its back! Every time I put it on it reminds me of my childhood.
Haha me too.. but it was in department store for $12 a polish :O) so we win now with it being $5
I love “flirt” so gorgeous ^^
I’m SO getting these when I’m in the states!
pretty! i like the gloss, it makes your lips voluptuous.
I like better the lipgloss you’re wearing, very intense and pretty!!
Eversince I heard about Hard Candy, I was pretty excited about the products. However, I seen quite a bit more bad reviews from them. Especially with the price for their products, I prefer to buy others brand with cheaper price.
i love the flirt lipgloss, its really bold but i feel like if you wore or played up your eye look it would look awesome
oh that lip colour is so pretty!
what is it about gloss i just always seem to want more!
I love the Flirt lipgloss!!!
The glosses look pretty
love the packaging they look so cute =]
a friend of mine got something from the hard candy line, i want to say it was mascara, and she said she didnt like it at all. something about it being really watery? i dont know though… i havent tried hard candy myself.
I remember Hard Candy back in the day…I guess it’s nice that it’s available at WalMart now at a lower price than what I remember.
I went to walmart yesterday and was looking at some of the Hard Candy stuff while i was suppose to just get the makeup i needed and hurry and go. I think i am gonna go back and buy some products cause i really love them and i got my eye on a few. They really don’t cost that much either so there affordable.
i really like the pallet but i dont think i would get this =(
i dont really like lip gloss and the colors or the pallet arent really making me interested
omg omg the flirt lipgloss is super sexy….love it!!
I’m excited to see you reviewed the Hard Candy line.
I saw this in walmart a couple months ago and have been dying to try the line.
The packaging is what caught my attention, It reminds me of my favorite, Urban Decay.
it looks pretty! the shadows are a nice colour selection, and that heartbreaker lipgloss looks like a classic pink that everyone can wear, i gotta chek it out at walmart!
Nice images.
I love your swatches! I wore Lava last night. I’ve come to the conclusion it’s glass-flecked, not glitter, because it was way too easy to remove! These are great colors! I can’t wait to wear Mr. Wrong…
All these products look great, especially the eye shadow palettes
Love the Ultra Wet Lip Glosses. I also have the Walk The Line Glitter Eyeliner in Dreamgirl.
I`m thinking about purchasing their blushes & eyeshadows next. I love the prices!!
i love the flirt lipgloss!
Love your nails!
omg i love how the flirt lipgloss looks! i will definitely be making a trip to walmart soon!
this stuff is so cute!!!!
I was just at Walmart yesterday and was debating whether to try Hard Candy nail polish. Thanks for the review!
Hard Candy was my first ‘real’ nailpolish. I loved the gummy rings on them. This green is really nice! Vibrant.
