Hard Candy Virtual Reality Fierce Effects Lipstick Review

By Priya S.

I seriously cannot explain how much I enjoy wearing lipsticks on a daily basis. I de-clutter my makeup stash every 6 months, but I just can’t part myself with my darling babies – lipsticks!! Come on, don’t tell me that I am the only one. I am sure our IMBB family has a lot of lipstick lovers like me 😛 So, as an addition to my last post, let me introduce you to another lipstick from the Hard Candy line which is Hard Candy Fierce Effects Lipstick in Virtual Reality.

Product Claim/Description:
Turn heads with Hard Candy Fierce Effects Lipstick. Daring and highly pigmented with an ultra-soft weightless texture, the formula is infused with argan oil for added moisture and shine. It glides on lips with one stroke in an unstoppable shade range.

CAD 6.99

My Experience with Hard Candy Virtual Reality Fierce Effects Lipstick:

Packaging: Can we take a minute here and admire the gorgeous packaging of this lipstick! This lipstick has a matte black body with shiny silver dots on the cap that look like diamonds. The top of the cover is colour coded to the lipstick bullet. The lipstick bullet swirls up effortlessly and does not stick to the tube itself. The shade name is mentioned at the bottom of the lipstick. The best thing is that the lipstick cap shuts with a secure click sound. All in all, a very sturdy and super attractive packaging.

Color:  The color of this lipstick is such a pretty brown colour with a frosty finish. This lipstick shade is really subjective, and will not be liked by beauties who despise frosty lipsticks. I would still say that this particular shade is for fair to medium complexions.

Texture: This lipstick has a very smooth and creamy texture and applies like butter on the lips which is splendid. The texture is not as dry and patchy at all. In fact, it feels comparatively quite comfortable on the lips, but I would suggest beauties with extremely dry and chapped lips (like me) to apply a lip balm prior to this lipstick so that there’s no tugging or pulling. This lipstick does not contain any shimmer. Thank goodness! I totally despise lipsticks with a frost finish or shimmers.

Pigmentation: The pigmentation of this Hard Candy Fierce Effects Lipstick in “Virtual Reality” is bang on!! One swipe of this lipstick gives considerable amount of coverage. The best thing about this lipstick is that it is buildable without getting patchy or feeling heavy. Since it is a creamy formulation, it does transfer a bit, but that’s totally okay.

Longevity: I was a firm believer that only matte lipsticks are long lasting, but this baby has changed my perception totally. In spite of its very creamy-ish glossy finish, it lasts on the lips for at least 5 to 6 hours with a little bit of snacks and beverages. It also leaves a tint behind which I really enjoy. So impressive!!

Quality: The overall quality of the Hard Candy Fierce Effects Lipsticks is astounding. It is no less than any high-end lipstick. I mean, if Gucci, MAC or Shiseido came up with the same formulation of the lipstick, I would not be astonished. People would love it very much and pay more than thrice the amount for the same thing. All in all, I am totally satisfied with this lipstick.
