First Review: Hard Candy Mini Must Haves in First Flush (with Swatches)

Today I'm going to review something that has been with me for a few months but I never really got the chance to use it yet. But, as this is going to be my first review I decided to try the products first. :) This is called the Hard Candy Mini Must Haves in First Flush.

Hard Candy is a drugstore brand in the U.S, but I'm not sure if it has a branch here. :) The Mini Must Haves is a collection of favorite Hard Candy products in one box. :) It comes in 4 collections, First Flush, Naturally Naughty, Glamazon Glow and Bad Girl next Door.

I got mine in First Flush. Here it is! :D

This collection contains the ff: (L-R) Baked Crush Blush Crush (kinda like a tongue twister right? :p), Plumping Serum volumizing lip gloss, Sheer Envy face Primer, Glow All the Way face and body luminizer.

Baked Crush Blush Crush in Living Doll. "Give your cheeks an all-over warmth and glow with Blush Crush in Living Doll."

Actually the size is pretty big for a sample/mini in my opinion. For a mini blush that weighs 5 grams, that's not pretty bad, right? When I first touched this, it seems kinda hard, but maybe that can be treated as a good thing because there's no fall off or something? I think you won't need highlighter on your cheeks anymore because this has some shimmer in it and it is light pink (like a natural flush) though it looks dark on the pan. It gives off a pretty natural pink color though it can be built up to create a more rosy look. 

 Glow All the Way face and body luminizer. "A pearly luminizing highlighter that illuminates all skin tones. Infused with 24 karat gold!"

I am not really sure if I could use this a lot because because it is too shimmery to use on the face. But I guess this would work wonders on the arms, legs and decolletage. It would make you glow all the way. :D

 Plumping Serum volumizing lip gloss. "For a perfectly plump pout and outrageous shine apply Plumping Serum in Uptown Girl."

This gloss has a slight tingling sensation and subtle vanilla scent which I love. However, I did not feel any plumping effect on my lips and it is a little too sticky for my taste.

Sheer Envy face Primer. "Improves foundation application while minimizing imperfections. Makeup lasts longer!" 

This is actually my favorite item in the collection. It is lightweight and NOT sticky at all. :D It's almost the same texture as my Revlon Beyond Natural Smoothing Primer, but I guess Revlon is a little oilier(?) than this, though it disappears on the skin afterwards.

 Gosh forgive me for this, this is my first attempt in doing swatches hahaha!

Note to self: Must learn how to do a proper swatch next time. :D

Overall, I love the Sheer Envy Primer and the Baked blush more than the other two items. :D

This kit is a great buy if you want to sample Hard Candy's best sellers first before buying the full size. I would also like to try the Naturally Naughty and Glamazon Glow kits next time. :D
