Swatches: Hard Candy Glow all the way Ombre Baked Blush in Punch!

Highlight + Blush!

Anything Ombre is always so pretty! Plus it's the best way to get a 3-in-1 deal ;-) Today I wanted to share swatches of the NEW Hard Candy Glow all the way Ombre Baked Blush in Punch! There's two blushes to the line but I ended with this beauty because it was more pink. It's only $7 and completely accessible since it's sold at Walmart. If you like what you see make sure to pick it up or your next trip!

The packaging is awesome! But... look...at...that...blush!! In the pan it's pretty much everything! Since it's baked it gives your cheeks the prettiest sheen. Here are the swatches:

When swirled it ends up looking like an angelic baby pink. It gives you a beautiful youthful glow!

I hope these swatches were helpful! This blush is lovely and I can't wait to use it in the summer for that glow! #BlushHoarder ;-)

Must Haves: Hard Candy Top Ten Trendsetters Eyeshadow Palette in Birthday Suit!

An All Matte Drugstore Palette!

The Hard Candy line is the first one I visit when I'm at my local Walmart. They always have pretty cool products and very affordable prices! I came across this all matte palette and was very intrigued! It's pretty rare to find an all matte palette in the drugstore and a good one for that matter. I've had this palette for a few weeks now and I adore it! It's only $6 and you get a total of 10 matte shades, it's a bargain! Packaging is cute and edgy and pretty good quality, love it!

The shades are pretty diverse from your warm and cool tones. That's what makes this palette worth it, it has awesome highlight, lid and crease shades! It comes with a nice mirror and 2 sponge tip applicators which are worth keeping for applying lid shades. As far as quality, the shadows are slightly powdery but nothing a good primer can't fix. They are pigmented and blend easily which makes this a well rounded palette. Here are the swatches:

This is natural light and here are the swatches with flash;

The shadows go on smooth and there's a few shades to choose from for creating depth in your look. I'm very impressed with this palette!

Bottom line; This palette is a must have for those searching for a great matte palette! There's many higher end palettes that are being released with all matte shades but they're no where near the price of this one. I always say don't let the affordable price fool you, the shadows are truly amazing! I've used it for work alone or paired with other shadows and completely love the outcome! Make sure to pick it up next time you're at Walmart! :-)

Review: Hard Candy - So Baked Contour Trio!

Want a Healthy Glow?! Try This!

I've haven't been so excited about Hard Candy in a very long time! Out of all their products I must say their baked products are out of this world! They are really amazing and worth the price. Other things in their line tend to be gimmicky so I stay away from those. Hard Candy came out with these new So Baked Contour Trios in 4 shades and I have 2 of them to review for you today!

First off is the price: these retail for $9.00 each at Walmart so its really accessible to everyone! They have a pretty good range to choose, great colors to suite different skin tones. The packaging is just like their other baked blushes and bronzers, just a slight bit bigger. The product size is pretty decent, you get 11g. Since its a 3-in-one product the individuals sizes are a bit smaller than what I like but you can still work with it. I found that the ELF Blush brush (just $3!) was the perfect size to use. You get right into the color you want without blending the others, so its the perfect tool for this product! Here's a close up of the colors:

So Baked Contour Trio in 3 Strikes- this trio is the darkest of the two that I own. Being that it's a baked product all three shades leave such a beautiful sheen on the skin, that makes you glow! The blush shade in this trio is a bright pink that goes on smooth. The luminizer/highlight is more of a champagne color, really pretty! The bronzer is a bit dark but amazing nonetheless. They are all really pigmented and awesome quality for only being $9. I'm super impressed!

So Baked Contour Trio in 3rd Wheel- the bronzer is lighter in this trio than the other one. This is the first out of the two that I tried and I fell in love! I wore it to work and it lasted all day! I used all three shades and it looked really beautiful, as if you're glowing from within. The blush is a more coral pink and the luminzer/highlighter has more pink tones too. I was hesitant to use all three at the same time because I didn't want to look like a disco ball haha. But when they all blend together it looks amazing! The bronzer isn't patchy and the blush is gorgeous, just make sure to use a light hand. I think this one is my favorite out of the two, it suits my skin tone a lot more and I have no complaints!

Bottom line: I love this product and I'm very tempted to purchase the other two I'm missing! (hoarder...I know! haha) But it's really that good! I suggest you check them out on your next trip to Walmart because there's nothing like this in the drugstore. This is going to be perfect for spring and summer. A light foundation, this trio and a tinted lip balm and you're good to go! This gets an A+ from me, make sure to give them a try. :-)
