Hard Candy Haul+ HD Swatches

This is actually my second time trying out their products: Click here for my previous haul.

Its good to know that you can get good quality makeup and not break the bank.

 I shot these swatches with my HD camera because it's always better to know how the product is in true color before you purchase.

Meteor Eyes - Baked Meteor Eyeshadow in Outer Space

Baked glitter eyeshadows.

Very pretty gunmetal black with micro glitter. This color would be perfect for a smokey eye. These pictures were taken with the shadow DRY.

**The picture on the left is with flash & the one on the right is no flash.

Mouthing Off - Sheer Lip Shine in Exotic

Gives lips glistening, sheer color with maximum shine. Gloriously glossy sheers form shimmering to sparkling. 

 This color is a gorgeous shimmering Orange. Not too shimmery just perfect.  It would look amazing paired with the Outer Space shadow. Hmmm... Maybe I should do a Face of the Day with it?

Glitz Stick - Sparkling Crayon

Super chunky crayons of translucent color are laced with glitter and can be worn on eyes, cheeks, lips and body. Blend for sheer, subtle, shimmer effect or layer with shadow, blush or lipstick for dense glitter.

I absolutely love the concept of this! I don't make any mess with this "crayon" because I control the amount of glitter I want :D

This is definitely a affordable brand that is worth every penny. 

Have you tried any of these products? 
Should I do a look with these?

Do you prefer a Matte or Dewy foundation finish?

I personally prefer a matte finish. My T-zone can get really oily at times so I feel like it's better to be maintain a matte look. Here I used MAC Prowear in NW45 with a combo of  Per-Fekt Beauty Decadent skin perfector. I combat oil with Kett Sett - No-Color Setting Powder & MAC Blot Film!

One of these days I plan on going "Dewy" ...maybe summer. 

I think if I spray some Fix+ or Charge water on my face, it should do the trick.

Do you prefer a Matte or Dewy foundation finish? What foundation do you use?

FOTD: Cat Eyeliner & Glossy Plum Lips

Photos don't do this look justice! It was amazing up close. *SIGH* This is the look I wore to my bf's friends b-day. I was totally unsure what to look to do but I knew I need something simple with little touch ups.

The main products used was:

Eyes-

Maybelline Eye Studio™ Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Blackest Black

BarryM 3 N 1 Mascara

Lips-

Faceatelier Lip Glaze-Shiraz

I used my Eve Pearl 104- Eyeliner brush to draw that perfect cat eye flick! First starting at the edge then bringing it inwards.

What do you think of this look?
