Hard Candy Fierce Effects Lipstick

October 26, 2017

Affiliate Links

Are you a fan of drugstore lipstick? I’m a total lipstick hoarder and usually buy mostly high-end products.  However, I’m in drugstores and big box stores from time to time and always take a stroll down the cosmetics section just in case there’s something that catches my eye.  On a recent trip to Walmart the Hard Candy Fierce Effects lipsticks caught my eye.  These lipsticks retail for about $6 and come in an attractive tube.

These are “highly pigmented lipsticks with an ultra-soft weightless texture.  The formula is infused with argan oil for added moisture and shine.”  Fierce Effects Lip Stick is available in a wide variety of 24 shades and finishes, ranging from classic nudes, to reflective metallics, to bright, bold unconventional colors.  They just added six new matte shades to the range to offer even more variety.

At First Blush high shine lipstick

I chose to purchase an older shade from the collection rather than one of the brand new ones as I’m not a fan of matte lipstick on my mature lips.  I chose my typical pink shade called At First Blush.  This shade is a “go to” for me since it’s very wearable on a daily basis.

I love the formula and the shade of lipstick

Fierce Effects lipstick collection

The shade range for the Fierce Effects lipstick.  There are several others available, including the one that I purchased.

Hard Candy Fierce Effects matte lipstick

The six new matte shades from the Fierce Effects collection.

Verdict:

I like the way this lipstick feels on my lips. It truly is a weightless formula. I can get away with a single swipe. However, I usually apply additional layers.  It’s not particularly long-lasting for me.  The packaging is fun and seems much more luxurious than it is.   The affordable price tag makes these lipsticks even more enticing to me.  I recommend you try one or a few from the collection.

Have you tried any of the Hard Candy Fierce Effects lipsticks? What do you think of the new matte shades?

*I bought this product. All opinions are mine and aren’t influenced by anyone else.

    I’ve been eager to try something from Hard Candy but I never knew what to choose. Lipstick is always a good first choice. I love At First Blush on you, and it looks much lighter on than it does in the swatch. I had thought from the swatch it might be a good choice for me, thinking it was a mauve shade, but too light, boo hoo. Maybe Ruby Slipper instead. I love the cute packaging.

    I think the packaging is so nice. I tried some but none as pretty as the one you bought. Wearing them doesn’t feel like a $6 lipstick.

    I’ve never heard of the hard candy fierce effects lipsticks but will definitely look for them the next time I’m in Walmart. Your review has peaked my interest, especially the word “weight less”! I cannot stand a lipstick that feels painted on.

    I used to love hard candy nail polishes. If I’m to be honest I almost forgot the brand existed. These lipsticks look fun though

    I’m glad the shade of lipstick you got didn’t disappoint. It’s a very wearable shade for an everyday look! I’m also not a fan of matte lipsticks, I do have matte lipsticks but I don’t reach for them like I should. Love the packaging too, thanks for sharing!

Remember this pretty navy strapless dress? I can change up the look in the blink of the eye with my accessories. 

Today I added a lightweight olive color sweater wrap over my shoulders and a neutral cane wristlet. 

I find the little half sweater wrap to be the perfect touch. It adds interest, extra color and a tiny bit of warmth. It comes in dozens of colors and stripes too.

And yes, it has pockets! To be honest, the only thing I ever put in the pockets are my hands. But when a dress doesn’t have them, I don’t feel as comfortable. Anybody else feel the same?😅

One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack One of my favorite jackets is the lightweight Pack-It Jacket. It’s a great option, especially when I’m on the go! #ad

It has adjustable elastic to cinch in the waist, a hood when I need it in the rain (this hair is a lot of work so I have to protect it)!😅

And the best part is that it can be rolled up into its zipper pouch and tossed it into my bag so I have it when I really need it! It came in handy on my boat ride yesterday!

It comes in several different colors as well as inclusive sizing, so there’s a jacket for everyone! Oh, and it makes a great gift too!
