The final part of the Walmart Mini Haul!!! Hard Candy Glossaholic lip glass in "Fireball" The name of the product does not lie, this is defiantly for real "glossaholics," keep reading to find out why...
What I Think: Super huge mega watt is correct. This is a rather...jumbo sized lip gloss. It's like what a Jumbo Eye Pencil is to a regular eye liner pencil. It sure does deliver full coverage and does have those neat reflective prisms in it, but it might be a little much for people that don't enjoy eating lip gloss all time.
"Fireball" is a bright red in the tube that's tinted rather pink. The gold reflects in it look like fun in the tube but i found when applying it, they just kinda come out as odd looking chucks of glitter, similar to what shredded foil would look like had i put it in a gloss.
No fooling this product is super sized. At first i thought this design was kinda neat, but as i had this product longer and longer i came to realize how much i dislike this super sized lip gloss.
Top of the gloss, cute as always.
More fun packaging design
Unlike Hard Candy's other lip gloss product, Fat Pout Lip Gloss, this brush apparently has something special about it. All the product collects at the tip of the applicator,where it is said to have a "cup" to offer better coverage with out going back for more product. When you pull it out of the tube it often drips if your not careful. And you know just as well as me that lip gloss drips are no fun.
I found that this products package as a whole is rather similar to that of the Hard Candy Powder Kegs. You have to put a little effort into pulling the wand out of the tube and must force it back into the tube when done. I almost felt like if i pushed the wand in and harder that i would end up with an explosion of lip gloss all over the place.
The wand it's self is about double the size of that of a normal lip gloss wand
You can see some of the gold reflects at the tip
Swatches!
Before: No Gloss, Just Lips
After: Applied most all product that came out on the wand...which was a lot
After: No Flash
This gloss does not offer extreme color, but it does offer extreme gloss. After applying the product my lips were super sticky, felt super gooey even. I felt like i had a lot of gloss on for how little it really does. I found that the gloss tends to collect at the corner of my mouth making me feel like i have to dap off some excess to wear this comfortable. It also gets into my mouth, on my teeth, and it feels like it travels a little bit. It won't stay on long, and if it does it's just because you have about 5 times more product on your lips then you actually need. I didn't find myself comfortable wearing this, i was always aware it was on my lips because it's presence is so bold. Smell isn't an issue, but i sure get to taste a lot of it.
I kissed a piece of paper about 10 mins after applying the gloss to show how much you really get from just one application. All that gloss came off and i still have a lot on my lips.
Price: About $6.00 at Walmart
Worth it?:Eh, not so much. If you like to eat lip gloss or love gigantic brushes this is a product for you. I wasn't so thrilled
Will I Buy It Again?:No. I don't like this gloss at all. It's sticky, icky, and there is just way to much. Even when i apply just a little bit it still becomes to much. I don not like this product.
