*For photo taking purposes: the highlighters were not blended into the skin to allow the product shade to show through. Once you blend it into your skin it disappears leaving a lovely shimmery glow in pearlescent doll face and more of a glimmering golden tint in glamazon.*

Here is my review for two new Hard Candy Glow All The Way Face & Body Luminizer-Shade Doll Face & Glamazon infused with 24 K gold sent to me from publicity. You guys all know by now that I have major highlighter obsession and when these arrived at my door it was exciting. Unwrapping the package to find these glamorous disco glam tubes inside put my glee over the top! This is something you really want to use for the summer when your skin is out & bare for that boost of gorgeous glow. Some product information below before my own finding are posted.

Hard Candy Glow All The Way Face & Body Luminizer
Glow All the Way! This pearly, luminizing highlighter illuminates all skin tones. Apply to face and body for a luminous, sun-kissed bronze or a pearlescent glow. Infused with 24 karat gold for a million dollar look!

Pro: lightweight feel-subtle glimmer-suitable for all ages and skin tones-versatile face & body cream-buildable if you want more coverage & sheer if it's well blended into skin-affordable price point-non irritating- non greasy- absorbs nicely-a little product goes a long way on your face-masks really dry skin-travel friendly-cruelty free.
Con:product tube could be somewhat larger allowing for more application on body (arms,legs,etc) if you use it on your face only it should last you quite some time as only a little drop is needed for blending in.


Venus Tips:

Add a couple of drops ( doll face works best on your face for a "spotlight effect" ) to your foundation for coverage and a fantastic glow! 

Want to stretch out the product if your using it on your body? Just mix a little of the product into body moisturizer or dry skin oil of your choice. With dry skin oil your legs will get an added boost of moisture and shine which helps mask really dry blotchy skin.

Don't be shy-apply some (preferably glamazon for it's sun kissed bronze tint) on your decollete' or if your feeling brazen on your derriere when your in your bikini. No area is off limits!

Applying on the back of your hands makes them look younger.

Extend you tan life with Glamazon applied all over your body


My results: I'm very much in love and satisfied with these luminizers and I feel they work really great on face and body. It's versatile enough to use everywhere even mixed in with foundation and body lotions. Before I get into the formula some information on the packaging. They are packaged in glamorous shiny plastic tubes and have a small opening in the tube to allow you complete control of product while stopping too much lotion oozing out accidentally.

Two color options are available-Doll Face and Glamazon. Doll Face is a lovely icy pink pearlescent shade that works as a beautiful face highlighter due to the "spotlight effect" it creates. You can use this on your body as well and if your skin is fair you might like this the best. Since it does blend into the skin leaving a glow and subtle glimmer behind there's no reason why all skin tones shouldn't be able to use this but Glamazon might highlight darker skin more properly. Glamazon has a lovely sun kissed bronzed tint and for me it seems as if it's more tinted than doll face which adds more glow rather than actual color. With Glamazon fair skin will instantly looked subtlety sun kissed but not stained which I love! If your skin is on the medium to darker side this shade will look spectacular by giving you a nice warm glow! I love them both but find I'll probably be using Doll Face for my face and Glamazon for my body because of my fair skin tone. However when my body gets a nice tan I'll probably use Glamazon to extend and highlight my tan more. The tube is 76.5 grams which is equal to 2.7 ounces product weight.

Product formula is very lightweight and non greasy in a sheer creamy lotion formula. It goes on smooth absorbing nicely into your skin without the feeling of a heavy reside left behind. I experienced no skin irritations using this on my face or body which is a plus for my sensitive skin. Doll face is the sheerest of the shades and Glamazon is more tinted in color. Glamazon doesn't stain your skin at all, it blends in and both shade options provide a gorgeous shimmery effect without any chunks of glitter-another plus. I found that it doesn't settle into fine lines and feel if applied correctly with minimal product there is no reason why women of all age wouldn't be able to use this in some way. Younger girls usually like to rub more in for a fun shimmery highlighting effect.

Bottom line for me-it's fabulous and affordable! The only fault I could find is the product tube size because even though you need just a tiny bit on your face if your going to use this on your body often it would make sense to have the tube available in a larger size. Maybe Hard Candy will come out with more size options in the future. I'm really loving how versatile of a product it is and added a few tips above on ways for you to use the luminizers. Have any more ideas? Get creative! I would recommend this heartily and feel it's one of those items everyone can use in the summer time when we all show our skin even if it's only on your legs when wearing a nice flowy skirt.My findings are my honest opinions and no compensation was made for my review. I think you all know by now if I don't like something I just come right out and say it. This get's a fabulous 4.5 starfish rating from me for it's versatility, affordability, lovely formula and for being cruelty free. A larger tube would have given it a higher rating. Since it's a body product it should have been slightly larger in size but still for the price it's offered you can stock up and save! I'm slowly realizing how great of a deal Hard Candy Cosmetics are with these amazing prices and savings. You really don't have to shop in department stores for pretty and useful beauty products. Good job Hard Candy! Stay beautiful! XOXO
