Hard Candy Button Your Lips


Today's review is for another great affordable product sent to me from Hard Candy publicity, it's a fun brush on button lip gloss pen. Hard Candy Button Your Lips Gloss Pen With Bonus Lip Liner Shade 221 Innocence. The lip gloss applicator is much like a pen and you press the button on the tip to get the desired amount of gloss. Initially you have to click several times until the product flows out but then you have to be careful because just a couple of clicks is all you need. Plus you get a free lip liner included in the box! A few product specs from the manufacture listed below before I post my own results:

Button Your Lip - Liquid Lipstick
Impossibly shiny glosses that glide on for the most glamorous "A-list" lips in town! Formulated to give 'em something to gossip about! The rich and luxurious formula is loaded with ingredients that make your lips feel soft and pampered. The head-turning shades feature a high fashion shine and will last late into the night. Coordinating automatic lip liner helps perfect your pout. 





Pro: glossy-non sticky-candy taste-easy applicator-cruelty free-decent staying power-affordable-bonus lip liner-available in eight shiny colors
Con: while color pigment stains last long the gloss could use more stay power

My results: This fabulous fun to use pen applicator is a great product! It works by clicking the button tip several times to release the gloss. Initially you need to really click for the flow to start but afterward just a couple clicks will do. The formula is very rich and creamy, it's not that liquid-y which is nice because it actually stays on your lips for quite some time. The gloss doesn't endure as much but still the color pigments remain on your lips. I drank coffee a few minutes after application and the the color was still there just less shiny. It's been on my lips for about three hours now so it's not the kind of gloss that wipes off after several minutes. It also has this sweet yummy candy flavor to it which is also nice and you get a free lip liner! The lip liner is a twist pen and the formula is very creamy and blends easily. It's a shade darker from the gloss and with the shade sent to me in a nice fleshy tone pinkish taupe it allows to to create the perfect nude lip. If I want it darker I could just apply more lip liner to add more drama at night. In my swatch the lip liner application was subtle because I wanted you to see how naturally lovely looking the shade Innocence is. It doesn't have glitter in the formula but it does have high sheen which is nice because it's not a childish lip gloss so any age group can wear it. I definitely will buy this product again because it's a great and want to try all the other shades. It's so affordable, cruelty free and you get a free lip liner! It gets my recommendation and a 4.5 starfish rating! The only minor issue was that maybe the high gloss lasts a little longer but most gloss will have this issue. You guys should grab a few of these and let me know what you think. Stay beautiful! XOXO
Availability: Walmart $6.28 available in eight shades
