My Experience with Hard Candy Painted Lady Lipstick in Mannequin

This particular lipstick is a part of the “Painted Lady” lipstick line. Hard Candy brand’s products have the cutest packaging and this one is no exception. Hard Candy has the most adorable packaging. I think it looks just cute. It comes in a white tube with a pretty flowers on the cap. It has a dome shape end and there is a pink satin ribbon which adds to the cuteness. In order to open the lipstick, you have to pull on the ribbon and it will open. I saw this lipstick in the clearance isle of Wal-Mart and was immediately attracted to the cute packaging and bought it. The color that I chose was “Mannequin”. It is a beautiful nude color shade with hints of pink. It is a flesh tone color and it matches my lip color a lot. I absolutely love this color. It suits me very well and I love wearing this while sporting a dark smokey eye look. It is even perfect for day time wear as it would suit any neutral makeup look beautifully.

The color glides on super smooth and is very creamy. I think it is a bit too creamy which is why the shade does not last me as long. It does not last me more than an hour. I really like the texture though, it feels smooth and it does not dry up my lips, keeps them fully moisturized. One thing that bothers me a lot about this product is the smell, it is very unpleasant. It smells something like cardboard boxes which annoys me a lot and it seems to linger on my lips after application after quite some time does it seem to go away. Another thing that I noticed was that this particular product is very limited in stores. I showed my lipsticks to my friend and she absolutely loved this lipstick and went to go buy it herself. Since HardCandy is sold in Wal-Marts and online, she decided to go find it in Wal-Mart. Unfortunately she was not able to find it anywhere near her area and had to come to the Wal-Mart closer to my house in order to find it. That truly is a downside because I am sure many people are wanting to try this and not everyone wants to purchase this product online. Hard Candy used to be sold in Sephora but all of a sudden it got discontinued and then later on appeared in Wal-Mart. I personally think they sell more in Wal-Mart than they did in the Sephora store. Overall, this is a decent lipstick because the colors are so pretty but as far as the staying power and cost go, it is hard to say it is worth it.
