Hard Candy String Bikini Plumping Serum Volumizing Lip Gloss Review

Skin/Hair Type: Oily and occasionally acne-prone/Normal Hair

Hello gorgeous ladies,

I was never a huge fan of lip glosses, until one day when I heard a popular makeup artist mention that matte lips can make us look older; on the other hand, a glossy pout can impart a very youthful look! Not that my love for matte lips has decreased, but now, I am paying more attention to sport glossy pouts more often. So today, I will be reviewing a lip gloss from the Hard Candy called Plumping Serum Volumizing Lip Gloss range and the shade is “String Bikini.” Let’s have a look:

My Experience with Hard Candy String Bikini 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. It does look quite stylish. The clear body of the tube makes the shade visible through it, 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 a full coverage, I need to dip the wand in two to three times into the lip gloss tube.
Packaging

Color:  The shade “String Bikini” is a gorgeous peachy-pink shade with the right amount of shimmer. It is a wearable colour and would suit fair to medium 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 the pout.

Pigmentation: This is sure not one of the most pigmented glosses out there, but 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.
Swatch on hand

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.
