Hard Candy Glow All The Way and Sheer Envy Primer

In winter my dry skin tends to look rather dull. So I was tempted by Hard Candy's Glow All The Way in Doll Face (319)- a pale pink luminizer $8 (I think) for 2.7 oz.

I also grabbed Hard Candy Sheer Envy Primer because at $8 (1.6 oz)  it's way cheaper than Serious Skin Care's A-primer ($22.50 for 2 oz plus shipping) and even though I like e.l.f. primer at $6 per bottle, the pump is pathetic- I think I used it 4 times before the primer was too busy clinging to the walls of the bottle rather than coming out the pump. I am using the e.l.f. up by pulling out the pump and using the primer clinging to the tube. Another thing I do not like about e.l.f. packaging is that the bottle is deceptively large and you can't see through it so you have no idea how much product is left.

Glow All The Way in Doll Face is a sheer pearly pink. I like to apply this all over my face after primer for a nice dewy start to my makeup. This keeps the look more natural. If I want a bit more glow I will swipe a tiny bit on my cheekbones.

Sheer Envy comes out a milky white but goes on really clear. It does seem to make lines and pores disappear. I actually use primer in winter to seal moisture into my skin rather than as a traditional primer. I like the consistency of this primer better than the e.l.f. one-- it's less slick feeling and sets quicker.

This is what they look like after being smoothed into the skin.  Do you see how the fine lines are smoothed out on my hand in the Sheer Envy part? I didn't apply it under the Doll Face shimmery part and there is definitely a difference in texture.

I would buy these again.
