A few posts ago I mentioned that Hard Candy had launched a line for Wal-Mart. Well, last night I ventured out to Wal-Mart to check it all out and see if it was even worth going to Wal-Mart for again in the future.
Being an adult, only a few things were actually appealing to me since about 85% of the collection is glitter filled make-up. Boo! I did end up getting the Sheer Envy Cosmetic Primer, Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer in Heatwave and Just Nails Nail Polish in Rumor Mill.
I know that every make-up artist will swear up and down that foundation primer is *mandatory*. I previously used Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer which was amazing and made my skin feel soo luxuriously smooth and make my face look flawless! The downer was that once I ran out I wasn't compelled to spend $40 again for a new bottle. So it was back to foundation on bare sun-screened skin... until now! Hard Candy's Sheer Envy Cosmetic Primer is ahhhh-mazing! Just as good as Smashbox's Photo Finish Primer except way cheaper! It's $8! This alone will be the reason that I will return to Wal-Mart!
Being the bronzer addict that I am I grabbed the darkest bronzer they had with no hesitation. Just like the primer, So Baked Bronzer in Heatwave is superb! I LOVE Nars' Bonzing Powder in Casino but I decided to venture out and try this one. It is a very decent (and cheap, $7) substitute. It goes on so smoothly and doesn't look orange at all! So gorgeous!
Lastly, was the Just Nails Nail Polish in Rumor Mill. Usually, I only stick to OPI and Essie nail polish brands because they go on smoothly, don't EVER chip and have gorgeous colors season after season. But I had to try one of these new Hard Candy nail polishes because what else are they known for?! DUH, their nail polish! So I picked up Rumor Mill, a deep plum purple color. It went on really smoothly, but it looks black! If you know me, I don't do black nail polish... I do dark nail polish because I still want to be able to see a hint of color. This one is totally black! Maybe I'll be able to see some color in the sunlight. Also, we'll see if it chips within a few days. On the plus side, it is free of DBP, toluene and formaldehyde... I don't know what those chemicals are but I'm sure they're bad for you! And it doesn't smell as strong as other nail polishes!
