Hard Candy Mouthing Off Sheer Lip Shine in "Scoop"- 8/10

 I am so in love with this lip gloss!  Ever since my dog Jake ate my newly purchased Lip glass from MAC, I have been on the search for something similar yet affordable in the event Jake gets into my glosses again.  After wandering around the makeup section in Wal-mart, I gladly stopped at the glitzy Hard Candy display and came across my new lip gloss crush.  As I walked to my car, I excitedly unraveled the plastic wrapping on the gloss and unscrewed the lid as the luxurious scent of vanilla cupcakes now surrounded me.  I'm sure other shoppers were confused by my state of bliss in the parking lot but I was unconcerned as I swiped the creamy substance on my lips.  I gazed in my review mirror (and every other mirror in my path in the next few hours) in awe.

This gloss not only looks exactly like the gloss I had recently purchased for much more at MAC, but it tasted and smelled better too!  Typically, the gloss wears for 3-4 hours without food or drink but towards the end begins to gather in the lipline, hence contributing to the 8 instead of a 10.  One other drawback to the gloss in the unimpressive list of ingredients.  Anyone who knows me knows that I avoid products containing mineral oil as much as possible as it has drying effects but I have managed to overlook this flaw for this gloss.  I still continue to use my Vitamin E once or twice a week for sincere moisture but do not find this gloss to be overly drying.  Hard Candy has around 15 colors to choose from in the Mouthing Off Sheer Lip Shine line, but I'm convinced that the "Scoop" flavor is the best.  This gloss looks great as a contrast to a smokey eye but as you can see in my low quality quick picture of myself below, it doesn't look half bad with a clean face look.
