Hard Candy All Lid Up Cream Eyeshadow Pining 4 U - Swatch and Review





Hello Lovelies,

Sorry for being MIA these past couples days. I've been feeling really sick. The pain on my hip came back worst than before. I was in such agonizing pain, I lost sleep and appetite. I guess it's safe to say it's 10 times worst than breaking my ankle, I wish someone would sedate me. I'm slowly getting better today and stretching a lot. I pray this doesn't happen again while my ankle is healing. I don't think I can handle another nerve pain. This pain is like second to giving birth I swear! Thank God for my sister, who's been there to help me out in time of need. I miss walking on my two feet and being out and about like a normal person. I hope these next couple weeks go faster. I'm so tired of being crippled and stuck at home. Sorry for whining, the pain was really depressing me out and I'm usually rarely sick.

Fortunately, I have a few posts I've already drafted, which makes it easier for me. I got an exciting review for you all. Today, I'll be reviewing this new cream shadow from Hard Candy. I purchased it at Wal-Mart a couple weeks ago.

What Hard Candy Says about their All Lid Up Cream Eyeshadows

Vibrant, long wearing crème eye shadow lights up and enhances eyes. Our groundbreaking hybrid formula has a soft cushion texture that allows it to be worn as eye shadow or eyeliner. This crease proof, stay put formula is blended luminous, multi-colored pearls that provides glamorous evening looks. Available in 10 gorgeous, vivid shades!

Packaging
  • Clear plastic jar
  • .19 oz or 5.4 g








Product

  • Pining 4 U is a mossy golden green shimmer cream shadow.
  • The pigmentation was good but texture leans on the drier side; however, when rubbing my finger on the product, I was able to warm and loosen it up.
  • Not the smoothest or creamiest cream shadow to work with since it felt a bit dry but I was still able to blend it on my lids without looking patchy
  • Lasted over 8 hours, without smudging, fading, or creasing without a primer. That was quite impressive.





Final Thought

My only complaint is the drier texture of the formula, otherwise, I was able to make it work without too much effort. The consistency is similar to the Maybelline Color Tattoos though just slightly drier. It's budge-proof, smudge-proof, crease-proof, without the help of a primer and stays on your eyes until you take it off.

Rating: 8/10.

Have you tried these or will you be giving them a try?

  1. hmm... the colour you've picked is cool, but dry formulas are definitely not for me, my eyelids are sooo dry, so it wouldn't work too well :(

    1. Yeah I wished it was just a bit creamier. I don't know why it's so hard for them to do.

  2. We don't have hard candy here but if it's comparable to the color tattoo then I'd go for the maybelline ones since it's easier for me. From the picture though, the pigmentation is impressive. Oh and get well soon!

    1. Thanks. The color tattoos would work better since they're a little creamier than these.

  3. I sure hope you feel better soon!!! :(

    These look great! I have oily lids so a drier texture shouldn't be an issue for me.

  7. Hope you feel better soon! The color that you bought looks pretty but probably not something I would buy.

    1. I wanted to try other colors too but they didn't have much in stock at the time I purchased this one.

  8. God poor you! I really hope your hip gets better really soon or at least the pain lessens :(
    I really like the colour and as I've never found a cream eyeshadow that sticks around before I'd really like to try this!

    1. The pain is much more manageable now...Thank God! Let's hope it stays that way. Yeah usually drugstore cream shadows aren't that great.
