New Hard Candy Releases!

If you're a 90s kid like me, then you probably remember going to the store and picking up some Hard Candy makeup to play around with. It's one of the first brands I used as a pre-teen, and now they've released a line of great new products that are great for all ages!

*Disclaimer: These products were sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


What I like best about Hard Candy is that they have high quality products at really affordable prices. I was excited to try these new products, since I hadn't gotten anything from the brand in a while.


First up is the Matte-Aholic Velvet Mousse Lip Color and Lip Liner duo ($6). I received the "Forget Me Not" shade to try. I really only wear matte lipsticks, so this was perfect for me. The set comes with a color and matching lip liner, as you can see from the photo. Unfortunately this shade was a little too light for my skin and made me look washed out, but it's a beautiful light coral that would look great on cooler/lighter skin tones (see swatches at the end of the post).



I didn't realize that Hard Candy not only has color cosmetics, but a skincare line, too. The Sheer Envy Fix-It Mask Night Repair Face Mask ($8) helps dehydrated skin while you sleep. It's made with white and purple orchid extracts to restore dry, dull skin overnight.

I have oily skin so I usually stay away from overnight masks because they tend to be too heavy for me, but this one was incredibly light. It has the texture and viscosity of a gel serum, so it absorbed quickly into my skin. The next morning I followed my regular cleansing routine and my skin felt soft and smooth.



The Go For the Gold Pro Eyeshadow Collection ($10) is on par with much more expensive palettes I've used as far as pigmentation and color goes. I love the shade selection since I favor warm/golden tones and shimmers. There's a balance of mattes and shimmers to create lots of looks for night or day.


Here are all of the shades finger swatched, as well as the lip liner and lip color duo:





Although the lip color is a little light for my skin tone, the lip liner is a bit darker and I can definitely use it to fill in my lips as an all-over color itself.

Bottom Line: I loved all three of these products from Hard Candy! It was fun to try an old favorite brand again. I think all of these products are great for anyone who's looking for an affordable way to update their makeup and skincare collection. I really can't say enough about the great quality of each of the products, and you can't beat the prices!
