Hard Candy: A Premium Cosmetic at a Not-So-Premium Price!

When did the price of cosmetics get so out of control?  Go into any department or beauty specialty store and you encounter $30 lip glosses and $75 mascaras!  These days who has that kind of money to spend?

I was so happy to recently have the chance to review the Hard Candy Cosmetic Line.  A premium cosmetic at a not-so-premium price, it is a brand that can hold it's own with other department store brand name cosmetics that are currently available.  The thing is that now, Hard Candy can be found in Walmart and on Walmart.com!

The line includes products for your face, nails, eyes, lips, and body!  All at an affordable "that makes sense" price and some of the most beautiful packaging out there!  Full of flowers and hearts and bright colors, it is also a fashion statement!

Hard Candy sent me a number of different products to try in order to write this review and I loved them all!  Sarah, my 16 year old daughter, loved them too!  How many cosmetic brands have that broad of an appeal?  Not too many; most of what I use Sarah deems " boring and old". 

Check out the way Hard Candy is packaged:



Beautiful, huh?

I know at this point you are just itching to try some of the Hard Candy Cosmetics and Hard Candy has graciously offered to scratch that itch for you!
