I went into Walmart the other day to pick up some stuff I needed for my apartment. I stopped in the make up section and took a little gander around. I don't only use department store make up, I use a lot of "drug store" make up. Just because it is cheaper, doesn't mean it lacks quality!
I stopped at the Hard Candy section, and I'm not sure if you remember, but Hard Candy was a popular brand back in the day. I even think it was in a few departments stores. I remember reading about how the owner started the company. She started with a nail polish line and she was mixing different colors together of her favorite polishes and then she pitched her colors to a few stores and ended up having one of the best nail polish lines out there. She then expanded her brand and is exclusive to Walmart. I never have used Hard Candy Make up until recently.
I was looking for something really sparkly for New Years, and I came across the Hard Candy Eye Def liquid eye shadow. The packaging is really cool, which what initially caught my eye. Then I saw this awesome pink sparkly color! It's the same color as the dress I am wearing for New Years so I thought I would give it a chance.
I love using a cream or liquid shadow and as a base and then blending it with other colors I have that have different opalescence to it. It really enhances the colors of shadows when you use then with a wet base.
I immediately tested out the shadow when I got home. I love the color of it and I love how you can really build with this product with out it getting chalky! This shadow was only $6 and I am really impressed with the quality. It's a liquid liner constancy, so building is key. Put a coat on and let it dry then add another coat. I first used it by itself, then I tried it with two different MAC shadows over it. One was the Violet pigment, which is a bight purple color with a pink shimmer to it. The other color I tired was Stylishly Mary, a shadow from MAC's extra Dimension shadows (which by the way, Sephora has the same type of shadows for only $3 right now!) . Both colors worked great with the Eye Daze underneath it. It make the shadows ultra glittery

I recommend this to anyone that is looking for an inexpensive, fun, shadow that you can wear a few different ways. Hard Candy had a ton of other cool looking products that I want to test out! I am big in to glitter right now, so I have a feeling their Gold Glitter liner is in my near future!
