Hard Candy was the Glow Getter Highlighter Set, which was about $5 CDN. There were three different highlights: Rose Gold, Fix My Halo, and Put A Ring On It. The Rose Gold highlight is one that I have had a full sized version of in the past, so it was nice to see a smaller version of an old favourite. It delivers a gorgeous rose gold glow to the skin. The next was Fix My Halo, which had a silvery white finish, ideal for wintery makeup looks. The last was Put a Ring On It, which looked the most interesting right off the bat. I love the blue marbled look and had hoped that this would have a blue-ish kind of finish, but ultimately, this was a glowy champagne shade instead. All in all, these were great highlights for an unbeatable price. Hard Candy really excels at cheek products and the highlights included are no exception.
The makeup look above made the most of these Hard Candy holiday products. On the eyes were the cool toned purples and greys from the Indigo-Ing Steady palette, the Rose Gold highlight on the cheeks, and the Caramel lip balm to finish it all off. I love the combination of cool and warm colours. (It is always fun to mix and match!) So...does it work?? All of the Hard Candy products this holiday really wowed. Though the packaging could have been better for the eyeshadow palettes, the actual quality of the eyeshadows was solid. I love the colour stories and the level of pigmentation. The highlights and lip balms were also fantastic. These products added to the holiday season and are sure to make the winter months feel extra special.
Are you a fan of Hard Candy products? What beauty items have you been using lately?
It seems like these Hard Candy products offer really good value for money. Shame about the packaging, though, but I've experienced this as well with cheaper range products. The look you created is fabulous as usual! xxx

Aww thank you!
DeleteThis is the very first time I hear about this brand, I don't think is available in Italy although I don't go shopping on stores for a few years now. I will sign this brand because the palettes look fabulous and you put together some awesome makeup look. The glosses are very interesting too and the fact that inspired me most is the fact that have a pleasant scent, I like lipglosses and lipsticks that have lovely fragrances and flavours.
ReplyDeleteThank you! The products are really great and affordable, too, which is a bonus.
DeleteI haven't used anything from Hard Candy in forever but these products definitely look amazing! :)

DeleteGreat review =) This holiday sets are pretty beautiful, I like the colours. And your make up look is cute <3
ReplyDeleteAww thank you! I just love a good holiday set!
DeleteGreetings from the states! I have the exact same highlighter set you reviewed here. I used to have all three in the past, it does feel so good to have them back again in a smaller size! The Put a Ring on it one is my favorite! It does seem to have a greenish/Blueish/Champagne effect! Since it's marbled I guess it depends on how you sweep your finger or brush in the powder. HC is my favorite highlighter brand! I could not agree more on your highlighter review! I haven't tried the other products on this post yet except the highlighters. I also have a Highlighting duo from HC and a Eyeshadow palette in Blushful Nudes. The packaging (lid) cracked within a week of purchasing, but the eyeshadows are delightful. Looking forward to more posts, I enjoy your blogs!
ReplyDeleteOh, how wonderful! I agree with you that Hard Candy highlights/cheek products are fantastic. Such a shame that your eyeshadow palette lid cracked, but thank goodness the products still wowed. I so appreciate your comment. Hard Candy is one of those brands that I come back to over and over again...and it's nice to see a comment from someone who enjoys their products as well!
