review: hard candy

There are some drugstore brands that I love more than others. When it comes to Hard Candy, they have products that I love and ones that have really disappointed. Despite this, when I saw a couple of new products available, I couldn't wait to try them.

I ended up picking up: Hard Candy Shadow Dancers Liquid to Powder Eyeshadow in Rock & Roll and Hard Candy Poppin' Pigments in Golden Pancakes and Kiss & Tell. For $5.98 for the liquid to powder eyeshadow and $5.98 for a set of two pigments, I simply couldn't resist.

Let's start with Hard Candy Shadow Dancers Liquid to Powder Eyeshadow in Rock & Roll...I am loving this. Now, I wouldn't say that it's necessarily a liquid to powder eyeshadow, but it is a fantastic liquid shadow that doesn't crease and has incredible longevity. I wore it for an entire day (and I confess, night. Oops!) and it didn't budge. This particular combination has a shimmery grey shade and a shimmery champagne colour. The grey shade is quite nice, but it's the champagne colour that really stands out. It is so bright and pigmented - absolutely perfect for the inner corner of the eye. I find myself using this a lot since I've purchased it. Definitely an example of a great Hard Candy product.

Now onto the Hard Candy Poppin' Pigments in Golden Pancakes and Kiss & Tell...there were about four different sets to choose from but I was really drawn to the gold shade in the Golden Pancakes set and the light pink shade in the Kiss & Tell set. The pigments are really pretty, super shimmery, and nicely pigmented. They don't compare to pigments from high end brands of course, but are a great and affordable option. The shades are beautiful if you love a lot of shimmer and just a little bit of drama!

Have you tried any of the new Hard Candy products? What do you think of them?
