There is just something about picking up a lip gloss that gives me a little boost of happiness on a rotten day, which is how I ended up with this one from Hard Candy! I’ve never used their glosses, but when I saw one of the Glossaholic glosses ($5) on Crystalis007’s blog, I loved how it looked on her and decided to try one for myself. After debating between a couple of shades, I chose this one in Confection, which is a milky pink with some shimmer.
This gloss comes in a giant tube with a HUGE doe foot applicator. I actually like this applicator and it’s really soft! The gloss is scented with a sweet scent, but it isn’t overpowering. It is a vanilla frosting type scent.
This gloss does have some shimmer and sparkle in it. I didn’t find it particularly gritty or noticeable while I was wearing it. Unfortunately, this just wasn’t pigmented enough for me, though I do like how glossy it is. This lives up to its name: it is CRAZY glossy, but not sticky or heavy, which is nice.
Confection on my lips. As you can see, my lips are pretty pigmented, so the effect isn’t that dramatic!
Confection on top of Flower Beauty Sweet Peony lipstick. I used a disposable wand to avoid getting lipstick in the gloss. I do like how this looks on top of lipstick!
This isn’t a total dud of a gloss and I would probably try another shade since I do like how glossy it is. Have you tried any of these glosses? What do you think of them?
