Hard Candy Glossaholic review
From reviews I've read, Hard Candy seems to be pretty hit-and-miss with their product line. I can't say myself, since aside from these glosses I've only tried the primer, and I don't see much else from the line that seems too exciting. That being said, I do really like these glosses. They cost $5 and are only available at your local evil empire, Walmart.
They have a REALLY strong vanilla-frosting scent to them, which I don't like, but luckily it doesn't stay long. They also sport a giant applicator, which I didn't like at first, but now I do- it has kind of a dip in it, so it can get a lot of gloss in one go, and cover your lips in one go too. It's the same size as the gigantor MAC Wonderwoman glosses- here's a size comparison.
Hard Candy, MAC Wonderwoman, Rimmel.
I have 3 different colors- Fairy, Tipsy, and Chill Out.
Tipsy is a sheer hot pick, and Fairy and Chill Out both show up mostly clear. I love these glosses because they have FLAKIES! Much like my favorite lip gloss of all time, the MAC Superglass (of which I only own one). You can click on the pictures to see them full size so the flakies are much more visible. I just think it looks so cool, I love wearing these with a neutral eye, layered over lipstick, to give my look something more interesting.
These glosses are really sticky, which I normally don't like, but I can deal with it for these because they're so gorgeous.
Do you have any of these Hard Candy glosses, or tried any others from the line? Do you have any of the coveted MAC Superglass?

Uh, i hated this gloss. It was soooo sticky, And got in my mouth every time i wore it
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you like these. I don't have any Superglasses, but I've been lusting after them forever, lol!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the exact kind of lipgloss the one with the purple top is but it's a different kind than the normal Glossoholic - and they all have different scents. I have the Vanilla one and the Coffee one. let me tell you - if you think Vanilla is bad, stay far far away from the Coffee one :|
ReplyDeleteGREAT review! Thanks for the comparison between the other glosses! I don't have any of these, but have seen good reviews on them!
ReplyDelete@Kattatonic Fierceology: Aw, too bad it doesn't work for you! :(
ReplyDelete@femputer: I got the only one I have from a CCO, I emailed MAC a while ago asking if they'd ever bring them back and they said they had no plans of it :(
@Donna: The Vanilla one is ok, it's the other 2 with the super sweet scent. Coffee, ew :P
I have the caffeine one, and I LOVE the flakies, but i HATE the scent! It's disgusting!
ReplyDeleteI own two of the Superglass ones, but I don't really wear them as much as I thought I would. Probably because I find them stickier than the regular MAC Lipglass formula.
Great review doll!The glosses look sooo cute
ReplyDeleteBlehh, I'm not a lipgloss fan b/c of the flakies! I'm actually not really a glitter person
ReplyDeleteHard Candy USED to be one of my favourite brands back when they were carried in Sephora and I was 17, but I feel like their products have decreased in quality since the overhaul. (either that, or my tastes have become impossibly more discriminating...) The ONE product I still adore is their nailpolish. Though I do wish they still made their light blue...
ReplyDeleteI thought they made a light blue nail polish called Sky?
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who finds the Cafe scent intolerable! I do love the glitter flakes though, so sometimes I stick it out.
Thanks for the review! I love the huge applicator in my MAC WW lipglasses, so I may have to check those out, especially Tipsy, which looks really nice!
ReplyDeleteI never managed to get a supergloss but I was desperate for them because of the exciting flakies. Now I neeeeed one of these! Damn you Hard Candy, come to the UK!
ReplyDeleteI do have one Superglass in Fab Frenzy. It was expensive! These glosses look awesome with the little glitter flakes, I'll have to try them out! Also, lol to "your local evil empire, Wal Mart"!
ReplyDeleteEeeee, flakies! Everything should have flakies!
