While out on a run to Walmart, I decided to venture into the makeup section per usual.<\/p>\n

I was glancing over at the Hard Candy section, and I noticed they had a purple mascara on display.<\/p>\n

I have wanted to test out purple mascara for quite a while now, and I thought now is as good of a time as ever.<\/p>\n

I have read online before that purple mascara makes blue eyes look bluer, so I was very eager to test this out.<\/p>\n

I am not very familiar with Hard Candy as a brand, which made me particularly interested in seeing how this product would perform.<\/p>\n

From my research and my own observations, the brand seems to be a drugstore version of Urban Decay.<\/p>\n

The mascara I picked out is called the Dare to Extend Ultimate Mascara in the shade Royal Treatment. It retails for $6.96, and it is a cruelty-free product.<\/p>\n

The mascara also comes in dark green, royal blue and jet black.<\/p>\n

The back of the box said, “Uses Korean fiber technology to hug each lash for maximum length + 360\u00ba volume. Separating brush grabs each lash, evenly extending + adding volume from root to tip.”<\/p>\n

The box also said the product conditions lashes with shea butter, which I found to be interesting.<\/p>\n

The packaging overall was pretty bland, but it wasn\u2019t horrible by any means.<\/p>\n

The mascara itself seemed to have a normal to thin consistency.<\/p>\n

Before vs after<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I personally felt as though the brush applicator applied the mascara fairly well. I am used to using a curved brush, but this brush separated my lashes with ease. It was also easy to get rid mascara clumps.<\/p>\n

As for the color, I feel like it definitely stands out in person. However, when taking photos of my lashes, it is a bit hard to notice the color.<\/p>\n

However, I really do enjoy the subtleness of the purple. I think it is super cute when paired with a pink\/purple eye look, or even on its own to spice up the way your eyes look without a bunch of effort.<\/p>\n

I personally feel pretty indifferent on whether or not the product made my blue eyes bluer.<\/p>\n

Honestly, I don\u2019t think it changed much.<\/p>\n

Overall, I think this mascara is pretty cute. It lasts super long without making your lashes look crusty, and it didn\u2019t smudge at all throughout the day while wearing it.<\/p>\n

The mascara feels lightweight after application, and I pretty much forget I’m even wearing it.<\/p>\n

For about $7.00, I\u2019d say it\u2019s a pretty good product, and I will be trying more Hard Candy products in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
