PR: Hard Candy's Blush Crush Baked Blush (in Living Doll)

This probably has to be one of my HG (holy grail) blushes. It has this beautiful marbling of gold throughout the hot pink that just makes you GLOW! I decided to get this after watching a Kandee Johnson video when she mentioned that a hot pinky color goes well on anyone's skin tone. So I HAD TO GET!!! (And PS, if you don't know who Kandee Johnson is, go to YouTube and look her up! She is AMAZING! In every way. You'll love her) So when I got it I tried it out the moment I got home I was soooo excited. And it turned out so pretty, I was so impressed... and IN LOVE! So it became one of the main blushes I used in my routine (I used the others every once in a while so they didn't feel left out lol) and I would just throw it in my makeup bag with all the rest of the stuff. Well... that makeup bag fell off the counter a couple times and really got some abuse. And.... my favorite blush... broke. I was soooooo upset. I couldn't just throw it out, so I had to find another container that could at least tide me over until I broke down and bought another one.

Well that day of breakdown was yesterday. I feel so ashamed! But no, seriously! I needed another blush. I just got this bad feeling that they were going to discontinue the blush when I really actually needed to get one, so I made a deal with the devil (my parents, not really :D I love them!) for some money to get the new blush.

What I'm liking as I look at the new blush is that it doesn't have as much gold marble in it as my first one did. Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that there's gold in it, because it really adds that lively-ness and shimmery finish that is so beautiful. But when my blush broke, it left a huge platform of gold, and there was more marbling in that blush as well. Everything is good at the right time, in the proper proportions. So sometimes when I'm going for a gold effect all over my face, I just use that part as the highlight.

This is such a great blush I would recommend it for everyone and anyone (well, except guys, that's weird)! But on all skin tones, it would look gorgeous! It's a no-fail kind of deal. I'm looking forward to buying more of the blushes by Hard Candy (only at Wal-Mart btw) and I'm planning on eventually buying all four of them because sometimes the craziest looking blushes end up being really pretty on you. But the next one I think I'll buy is Honeymoon because it looks so pretty and can even be used as a highlighter.

Be beautiful to others and they will reflect that beauty to you!

Other info: I got this blush at Wal-Mart for $7, and that's mostly what I'm seeing on other people's reviews, but when I first got it it was $9, so the price could be anywhere in between. It should be closer to $7 now because the line isn't as new and things have kinda calmed down. :D
