🚨 WEAR TEST 🚨
The foundation and primer combo did wear well. I noticed I was a bit more dewy than usual by end of day. Normally, the L'Oréal tinted serum doesn't get dewier as the day progresses so I do think my results this day of filming was due to the primer being more on the hydrating side. Due to the end result being more dewy, the blurring blushes did not stay matte. I will try them again with a set base underneath and compare results. Stay tuned for that! Otherwise, everything wore well including the eyeshadows.

I've been enjoying the hard candy concealer lately. Like the Elf hydrating camo but not as heavy, dry, or yellow.

Maybe in the future I can try it. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts on Hard Candy!

Lexi, I have never tried Hard Candy products. I've seen many influencers use the line but it never really spoke to me. Your makeup looks great. I think I'll have to try the eyeshadow palette. Those are my favorite colors. Have a great weekend my dear. 😉

[@GlamourbyLexi]

Same. I never really had any interest in this brand until subscribers started asking me to feature it in my one brand series. Hard Candy does have some good products. Fun fact...this brand used to be sold in Sephora stores back in the 90's. And now, it's exclusive to Walmart. I did some research on them and I was shocked by that. Anyway, glad I tried them. Thanks for watching!

@@GlamourbyLexi I had no idea it was at Sephora way back! I am amazed by the things at Sephora and the prices they charge. In all honesty, I have never bought a single product at Sephora. I go the Ulta but even then I don't go over like $35 for a single item. I'm a drug store girl all the way but even that's getting expensive. Have a great weekend!

[@GlamourbyLexi]

I agree, Sephora is getting very expensive. I'm realizing how far money goes on the drugstore side vs. high end. For the same price I spend for drugstore, at Sephora I'm walking out with only 2-3 products. But on the other hand, drugstore prices are getting ridiculous as well. I've spent over $20 for a foundation. Insane when I say that out loud!! 😳 I can only imagine where prices are headed in the next couple of years. I hope you have a good weekend!

The foundation has a similar ingredient list to Double Wear, and I do like both foundations. I saw that you are weary of the paint smell, but it is not strong and doesn't linger. I agree that finding a shade can be difficult, but luckily I have a match for pale and tan for myself. I haven't tried the concealer bc I can't find it in the stores, but EmilyNoel has raved about it in the past. The lip products look nice and I haven't tried them yet, I'll put them on the list!

[@GlamourbyLexi]

I didn't know the ingredients are similar to DW. I own the Double Wear foundation (it's one of my faves) especially for summer time. Thanks for letting me know about this! I'm apprehensive with paint smelling foundations bcuz in the past WnW photofocus gave me perioral dermatitis which was very difficult to treat with prescription meds. So whenever I smell a formula or read reviews that mention that...I'm automatically a no. Maybe some day down the line I'll be brave enough to just go for it 🤷🏻‍♀️ I will continue trying the other Hard Candy products and feature them in upcoming videos. Thanks for watching!

[@kellya8267]

@@GlamourbyLexi wow that's tough! I totally understand why you wouldn't jump on trying it. I had problems with the WnW foundations too, but I've used 2 bottles of the Hard Candy without problems. You don't have to risk your skin for a video though lol it's all good! 😄

[@jackiestone5808]

I generally live your videos but I think it’s only fair for you to test the foundation/concealer options as well. Love them or hate them, it’s a makeup review

[@GlamourbyLexi]

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't go into details as to why I chose to avoid their foundation/concealer. I generally for these one brand videos, use the foundation and concealer. I did mention the reviews online were off putting but didn't further explain. A little back story here.....One review I read out of many on this brands foundation was the smell of paint and it immediately reminded me of a really bad experience 7 years ago with Wet n Wilds photofocus foundation. That foundation from Wet n Wild (back then) had a paint/paint thinner smell and caused me severe perioral dermatitis. This condition was difficult to treat topically with prescription creams (for 8 months) so I had to stop trying to conceive in order to take the oral antibiotics usually prescribed for a 3 month cycle to cure it. But I will say, that I didn't personally smell Hard Candy's foundation to know for sure. I'm just going off reviews like anyone else reading them or watching them would. My hope in sharing this with you is that it provides a better understanding to my decision for this one brand video. Maybe I should've explained it in today's video? Anyway, sorry my response was a long one. Thanks for taking the time to watch. Have a good weekend!

[@jackiestone5808]

@@GlamourbyLexi Oh I’m sorry I didn’t realize…so sorry you had that reaction to WnW😢 I now completely understand and respect your decision. Thanks for your thoughtful response to my comment!😘

[@GlamourbyLexi]

It's ok. Thank you for taking the time to read my response. Take care.
