Hello gorgeous ladies,

I never got a chance to try Hard Candy lip glosses, but recently, I picked up a few shades. So today, I will be reviewing a lip gloss from Hard Candy called Plumping Serum Volumizing Lip Gloss in the shade “Magic Mauve.” Let’s have a look.

My Experience with Hard Candy Magic Mauve Plumping Serum Volumizing Lip Gloss:

Packaging:  This lip gloss comes in a cylindrical, long, clear plastic tube with a glossy metallic silver cap with black fancy details on it. It does look quite stylish. The clear body of the tube makes the shade visible through, making it easy to identify in the makeup stash. The packaging is a bit bulky, travel friendly yet sturdy. The doe-foot applicator is a sponge-tip that is slightly slanted, providing ease of application. One dip does not really pick up enough product, so for full coverage, I need to dip the wand in two to three times into the lip gloss tube.

Color:  The shade “Magic Mauve” is a gorgeous pink shade with slight mauve neutral undertones. This gloss does not contain any shimmer. It is a wearable colour and would suit most Indian skin tones. This lip gloss can be worn on its own, but preferably looks better over a lip pencil or lipstick to add a beautiful shine to your pout.

Pigmentation: This is sure not one of the most pigmented glosses, but sure adds a fair amount of color and shine when worn on its own. When topped over a lipstick, it gives a high-shine finish that looks absolutely gorgeous. When worn over a lip pencil, it makes the lips look fuller and plumper.

Texture: The texture of this gloss is super glossy and more like a thick creamy syrup. It is pretty light in texture and does not feel super sticky. It has the correct amount of stickiness for it to last a bit long on the lips and yet not irritate them. This lip gloss is truly plumping. It does have that slight sting and tingling sensation post which, the lips do get plumped a bit to give a beautiful fuller look. It is creamy and quite moisturizing and even if you have extremely dry lips, you need not apply any lip balm underneath.

Longevity: The staying power of this lip gloss is average. It adheres to the lips and stays put for a good 3-4 hours. Since it is a gloss, it does transfer a bit and loses its shine with some snacking. Overall, I would not complain about this feature considering this is a creamy lip gloss.
