Hard Candy Review: 1st things 1st, a little history

hey Beauties!
Ok, so some of you may or may not be familiar with Hard Candy Cosmetics...

So, from some of my research I have determined this company was found in 1995, then sold in 1999, then was sold in duty free shops. Then in 2009, they made a BRILLIANT move and decided to make their product available to all of us beauties by selling it in non other then WalMart. Now, in 1995 the nail polish I believe was the only product and was brought to fame by Alicia Silverstone mentioning wearing it on The Late Show with David Letterman, then the owners appeared on the MTV show House of Style several times.
So, where are they today? Well, they are sold exclusively at WalMart and online through Hard Candy's Website. They range, at least in my experience, from around $4-$10 per product.

So, I own a few products from this company and I must say I am impressed! I love MOST of my products that I have bought from them. Now I have previously reviewed the Welcome Matte Mattifying Powder from them, but I am updating that review in this series....

Ok beauties, now to get to the reviews. Follow me for my reviews. I will be posting pretty regularly, so keep checking. Also, let me know in the comments what you think of your Hard Candy Products!

FOTD (Face of the Day)

So this is my FOTD using mainly elf products

I started off with e.l.f.’s Mineral Infused Primer all over the face, then used my Revlon Colorstay Liquid Foundation in 180 & 200 (custom mixed), and I blended these using my elf Studio Line Powder Brush. Next, I primed my eyelids using elf’s eyelid primer, then I packed on Natural from elf’s mineral eyeshadow line all over my lid. Next, I used my elf cream eyeliner in black to tightline my upper lashes, and then lined my waterline with a elf black eyeliner. Next, I used elf’s Complexion Perfection powder to set all my foundation, then I used elf’s Pink Passion Blush from the studio line, and highlighted with Spotlight Shimmering Facial Whip. I used elf’s lengthening and defining mascara, and finished it with elf’s Hypershine Lip Gloss in Blossom. So have fun and hope you enjoy this….

e.l.f.'s Complexion Perfection... Love it or Hate it??

So, e.l.f. (eyes lips face) offers cosmetics for $1-5$ on average, and I must say… OH MY GOSH, I am in love with almost everything I have bought from them. But right now I will focus on the “Complexion Perfection” from the Studio Line ($3). I bought this at my local Target store, and according to the website and the packaging you are supposed to take a large face brush and swirl all the colors together and sweep them over your face. Simple enough so I took my Kubaki brush from Eco tools, did this, and swept it over my face after I applied my foundation (before my blush or anything) and it worked AMAZING! It helps even out the redness I experience on my cheeks and it helped make my skin just appear flawless. Another HUGE plus on this item, it ELIMINATES oil… just soaks it all up. I have EXTREMELY oily skin, and it just soaks it all up! AMAZING!!! So in conclusion, I guess I would say that this is item is most certainly a LOVE IT item, its in my bag and I am purchasing a back up just for my wedding!!!!!
LOVE IT!
