On my lips:
Outdoor lighting of Inferno

These lip pencil don't feel glossy or look a tad thicker like a lip gloss. The texture is nice and creamy. It is hydrating, shiny and the color pay off is very nice. I love the way it glides on smoothly. The amount of pigmentation from these lip pencil are intense. I totally recommend these lippies! <3 It is easy to use and affordable.

Hard Candy Baked Blush in Living Doll
The description on the back says: Apply dry for a soft and delicate look and use it wet for a intense and dramatic look. So, I can't say much. LOL! It is what is says. This blush is very pretty. It is very soft and smooth. BUT! Sad... this blush is not for me. I wish it had more pigmentation because it took me more then 3 times to apply this blush on dry. I guess I can use this wet for a intense dramatic look? ^_^ I'll work this out somehow...  LOL! Thanks sis!

Readers Choice! Hard Candy Hypnotic!

Thank you to everyone who voted! Last week I gave you the choice of some Hard Candy polishes that I currently own. Hypnotic was the winner, with 53% of the votes. 

I found Hypnotic at Walmart, it was the last bottle. It looked really pretty, a nice peachy pink with gold shimmer. When I put it on my nails though, I was disappointed. It is extremely sheer and turned out to be nude color. I am not a fan of wearing colors like these on their own. I would only use this for layering in the future. Bummer!

This is 3 coats, no top coat, artificial light, no flash.

Hard Candy - Sheer Envy Skin Perfecting Face Primer (Base Perfection)

Hard Candy - Sheer Envy 
Skin Perfecting Primer (Base Perfection)
Walmart - $8.00

This was given to me, from Sis Karie. ^_^
 
Back of Product:Perfecting primer evens out skin tone and creates a flawless, smooth finish to skin. Fills in fine lines, wrinkles, and pores. Can be worn alone or under makeup.
Packaging: comes in a tube.

 
This primer give me good coverage on my forehead but around the edges of my cheeks and my chin, it started getting itching. I stop using it after 2 days. This product doesn't work well on me. Maybe for others it will. But you wont know until you try it. I wouldn't recommend this primer to anyone with oily skin or anyone who is allergic to silicone based. The texture of this formula is slick silicone based. If you break out using silicone products, this is not for you and just seems like this would be terrible for oily skin type also.

{ Hard Candy } Fox In A Box Blush

Hard Candy - Fox in a box Blush
Walmart
price: $6.00

I got these from my swap with sis May. I finally got some Hard Candy products! XD.


 Hard Candy packaging:
The blush comes in a box, has a flip lid with a brush stored in a small stretchy band. The design is really PINK cute! I'm a sucker for Kawaii packaging! But... I believe the cardboard box can easily be torn or crushed. Wish this was design in a compact instead. >_>
The brush are small and so cute! but you're better off using your own powder brush. 
Hot Flash
swatches:
Swirled all four shades together and the color turns out to a warm coral pink.
 Spicy & Sweet
swatches:
I think this one is a darker version of Hot Flash. To me it's more like a bronzer.
These blushes are quite pigmented, each of these shades has a bit of shimmer to it and it is almost a matte too. I give it a good swirl and it's just the right amount and blends easily. You could try to use them separately or in any combination you want. I think Hard Candy did good on this one. The price, packaging and the quality of these blushes.... it's fair. ^_^
Hard Candy blushes will be good for summer! My favorite would be Hot Flash.
