Beauty Product Reviews

Beautiful color payoff at an affordable price point.

I bought 2 of these at a local Wal-Mart in the colors Spicy & Sweet and Hot Flash. They were $5 a piece with 4 to 5 colors available. The packaging is really cute (as you can see above) and holds up really well. Toss out the brush, while cute it's pretty much worthless at applying the product.

Spicy & Sweet consists of a light pink square, a slightly darker pink square, a peach pink square and a very light bronze square. When you swirl them together you get this great pink with peach undertones that has a slight amount of shimmer. I have larger pores and this still looks great on me.

Hot Flash is the one pictures above but the colors are much lighter in that photo than they are in real life. The colors in the box consist of a dark fuchsia square, a slightly lighter rose pink square, a very light beige with peach undertones highlighting square and a brown bronzer square. I haven't used this one yet but when I do, I don't think I'll swirl the colors all together. I think this would be best used by lightly swiping a blush brush across the pinks for color, using the brown for a contour and the lighter beige as a highlight.

The squares looks to be about 1"x1" which is actually really small when it comes to trying to use the colors separately. I like to use a kabuki to apply blush and it pretty much fills up the entire box when I use these. With Hot Flash, this might pose to be a problem but I won't know until I use it.

You have to be light with these as they are extremely pigmented and if you use a heavy hand you will end up with clown cheeks.

All in all, these are well worth the $5 and I think they're one of the better products that Hard Candy has come out with.
