Hard Candy Kal-Eye-Descope Baked Eyeshadow Duo Secret Rendezvous Review
Hard Candy Kal-Eye-Descope Baked Eyeshadow Duo Secret Rendezvous Review
This is a product sold almost exclusively at selective Wal-marts by a company named Hard Candy. It used to be sold at Sephora and from what I have heard the formula has changed.
Hard Candy
The packaging is pretty. It comes in a white round case bigger that is about one and a half inches in diameter. The bottom part of the case is round. The top half is clear and you are easily to see the product from all angles. There is a circle of silver that contains the name and an intricate design on the sides.
The colors in this duo are a light, sparkly, almost white pink and a medium, brown that is kind of a bronze color and is also quite sparkly.
I like the colors of this product. They are perfect for fair skinned women looking for something neutral or for darker skinned ladies looking for a bit of highlight and sparkle.
However, there are a few downsides. For one, I am scared to use a regular eyeshadow applicator with this product. I’ve noticed that even using a brush causes a lot of excess to get on the sides of the product. The packaging is cute, but I think it would benefit from being deeper or a different shape. Also, this product creases in hot and humid weather. It is fine when it is cooler, but during the summer, it’s most likely not a good idea, save for the fact that it is a neutral color and the color loss is not as noticeable. I am not sure of the results with an eyeshadow primer, but it may be quite a bit better than without.

I had seen and heard of this product a few times and wanted to give it a try. I’d heard reviews that it was clumpy, wasn’t much sparkle, etc. However, I was determined to make it work if I had that experience.
The packaging is really pretty. It has a delicate design and the tube is rather thick. There is also a bit of rubber in the tube that takes off extra product. I may remove this and see if the results change. So far, I have only put it on over top of my purple mascara and wasn’t really impressed with the results. It is clumpy and hard. I tried to separate my eyelashes with a tooth pick afterwards and the result was still rather clumpy. There looked like there was quite a bit of product on the brush, and I’m certain it got on my lashes—I’m just not too sure that it is in a position where it can catch the light and give you the sparkle. The reason I say this is because when I checked the mirror a few minutes later and noticed one sparkle. Just one sparkle. One tiny, measly, pretty little sparkle.
Next time, I think that I will try to limit the mascara to the very tips of my eyelashes and see how that goes. Or perhaps find a different applicator with longer bristles. I’m not sure what the result would be on naked lashes, but I guess I shall see later.
After Reapplication: I tried to put a few coats on my lashtips and had fairly good results in the sunlight according to my mom. However, the result was still very clumpy. When separating it, I lifted my eyelashes with it and saw a LOT of product. It was just hiding under my lashes.
I tried it in my hair just for kicks and noticed a definite sparkle there. It made my hair kind of hard, but still rather manageable. I also noticed a little bit of sparkle in my eyebrows when I tried it there, but nothing overdone.
This might work if you curl your lashes, but I’m not entirely sure. I may or may not buy this again—maybe in a different color, since I already have dark lashes and the glitter is rather dark. This might last me a while, though.
NYC Smooch Proof Long Wearing Lip Color
NYC Smooch Proof Long Wearing Lip Color
I was looking for a lipstain when I found this product. I have pale lips that are causing me a few problems—namely that my mom would look at me and tell me to go eat immediately. I have a very minor case of hypoglycemia and pale lips used to be an indicator my sugar was dropping. Needless to say, this aggravated me because I was fine and had just eaten when she told me to go eat AGAIN. So lipstains it was.
Or so I thought. Honestly, the ideas of lipstains scared me. I’m willing to try anything with eye makeup, but when it came to lips, I usually wore way too bright red lipstick. True, it was a good shade of red, and looked great on me, but it wasn’t good for daily use. So when I saw NYC, a company I am familiar with, especially in the lip color department (the company I found my red lipstick with.), I jumped at the opportunity to take a look.
The product has two ends. One has lip gloss with a brush while the other has the lip color with a lipgloss applicator. The lip gloss kind of made me flinch for a second. I hate lip gloss. It’s goopy and sticky and I hate it. It makes my hair stick to my lips and looks way too shiny and I hate it. Did I mention I hate it? All joking aside, I was also worried about the product color. The only one that looked close to my shade was a bright pinkish color. So I tried it.
First of all, I love the lip gloss. It hasn’t converted me to a lip gloss wearer, but it’s as smooth and slick as my favorite lip balm and my hair only gets stuck in it occasionally, and not usually after it dries a little. The applicator could be better but the texture of the lip gloss makes up for it. It helps to seal in the color too, even after the shine fades away.
I liked the colors too. The first one I tried was 481 “Dreamer”. Even though it appeared to be a bright pink, it was a little bit more muted and worked well with my coloring (pale. Very pale.). I liked that color enough to buy 483 “Heartbreaker” which is a darker pink. It worked even better with my coloring and is most likely going to be my primary lip color.
There are a few drawbacks, however. If you use lip balm under or over this or both, it will fade quite quickly. On the flip side, if you have dry lips, the color will pill and look clumpy and gross. The trick is to have well moisturized lips without using a whole bunch of lip. My suggestion is to try one day on and one day off. Alternate with your favorite lip balm because, despite its benefits, this lip color is rather drying.
Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque Review
Queen Helene The Original Mint Julep Masque Review
One essential part of being able to apply makeup neatly is having clean, smooth skin. Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque provides just that for those suffering from oily or combination skin.
Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque
First, the packaging is pretty simple. It is an eight ounce tube (or perhaps less if you are purchasing the kind that doesn’t have the bonus extra 33%) that is white, except for a wide stripe of green in the center that is a gradient. The product name and description appear in black lettering in the green, and a small gathering of scribbles are located on the bottom of the green stripe. At the very top is “Bonus 33% More” in white lettering and the Queen Helene signature in red right below that.
How well does this product work? Well, pretty darn well. You apply it all over your face (and optionally your neck). You can use a thin layer or a slightly thicker layer. There is no need to cake this on. For me, it takes about 3 inch long squirts. One for each cheek and one to get the rest of my face and take care of any areas I felt were too thinly covered. I have combination skin and large pores on my nose and chin, and blackheads on my nose chin and cheeks. This masque shrunk them and made the blackheads ten times less noticeable! I’d been using Noxzema and was pretty greasy at the time because of it but this helped to hold the oilies at bay.
A note: Don’t shower immediately after this. If you do, it will open your pores right back up again. I discovered this the first time I tried the Mint Julep Masque. There was a large difference still, but its effects were lessened. However, it WAS quite a good change and I was excited to find something that worked after using products that didn’t. The next time, I tried applying it the next morning and the effects have lasted days longer. I’m not sure how long it can last, but I’m on day three and my pores still look fairly small. Also, don’t OVERUSE it. If you do, this can cause a breakout in itself. Once or twice a week is enough and only for fifteen minutes each go round.
