My Take on Hard Candy First Flush Make-up Kit:

Hardy Candy Makeup Kit

Blush Crush Baked Blush in Living Doll:

This is my first experience with baked blush and I loved it. The color looks a lot like the pink one sees in Barbie movies, and on Barbie dolls. I think this makeup kit is based on Barbie theme (all glimmer, shine and shimmer!!! Courtesy – Barbie – A Fashion Fairytale).  It is highly pigmented compared to the blushes I have used. A single swipe of the blush gives a light pink with golden tint which will look good on medium to fair skin.  Three or more swipes give the Barbie pink color. It stays for more than 3 hours without primer and with primer, it stays for more than 5 hours. I am planning to buy more colors of it.

Quantity of the travel/trial size pot: 5gm (.18oz).

Its individual price is around $7 for 8gm (.28oz).

Glow All the Way Face and Body Luminizer in Doll Face Pink:

This is my favorite product in this kit.  It is highly concentrated.  Only a small amount is needed for luminizing face and neck. I usually mix a drop size of it with my moisturizer and use it on my face and neck. It gives a pearly glow to the face which lasts longer with a primer. Too much of this product on face will make you look as if you have a layer of pearly pink paint on your face. As mentioned on the package, I believe it will suit all skin tones.  I love it so much that I plan to buy its full size tube. The Glow All the Way Face and Body Luminizer comes in bronze color too, but I am not planning to buy it as I am not much into bronzing.

Quantity of the travel/trial size tube: 9.9gm (0.35oz)
Its individual price is around $8 for 76.5gm (2.7oz)

Plumping Serum Volumnizing Lip Gloss in Uptown Girl:

This lip gloss gives a very sheer pearly pink coat with shimmers to the lips. When I apply it, I feel a cool tingling feeling on my lips, but I am not seeing any plumping effect as claimed by Hard Candy. It has a light scent that is pleasing. Overall, it is an okay product even if I didn’t see much plumping of lips. I am not planning to buy more of it.

Quantity of the sample: 1.2gm (0.04oz)
Its individual price is $6 for 2.83gm (.10oz)

Sheer Envy Face Primer:

This primer comes out of the tube as a white cream (unlike ELF primer which is colorless), but on spreading, it forms a clear colorless light layer on the face. It spreads like butter and skin feels very smooth after application. Makeup lasts nearly 8-9 hours with this primer. This is my second favorite product in this kit and it is my favorite primer now. I have been using ELF color mineral infused face primer for a while and I love it, but Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer turned out to be better than ELF primer for me. I will be buying the full size tube of Sheer Envy Primer for sure.

Quantity of the sample: 10.4gm (.40oz).
Its individual price is around $8 for 45 gm (1.6oz).

Pros of Hard Candy First Flush Make-up Kit:

  • For $8, we get to try 4 products of good trial size.
  • They are good for travel.
  • Good-quality products for a better price.
  • All the products are long-lasting.
  • None of them caused any skin irritation or pimples.
  • Quality comparable to the higher end make-up products.

Cons of Hard Candy First Flush Make-up Kit:

  • Non-availability in India.
  • The plumping lip gloss was not really doing any plumping.

IMBB Rating:

4/5.
