Absolutely beautiful product! I needed a new highlighter cause my Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick was all gone and as much as I love it, it's almost 40 dollars which is pretty expensive for a highlighter. I'd splash out that much for a foundation or moisturizer but a highlighter? Felt a little guilty about that. I figured I'd try something different and cheaper. Hard Candy is a very popular brand at my Walmart. They have a huge selection of products. I saw this and was really interested in it. First of all the actual color is beautiful. It's a beautiful pinky pearly color. At first on my hand I thought it came off a bit purple? But on my face it doesn't at all so don't get thrown off too much. The texture is very creamy and very easy to blend out! DOES NOT feel greasy or oily though which I was thinking it would but the finish is glowy but not over the top! The only thing I don't really like is the packaging. I like the fact it's in a squeeze tube but the tube is HUGE. It's 2.7 oz, that's more than my foundation! It's so big that it takes up a lot of room in my makeup bag and kinda makes me wanna leave it out? I know that sounds a bit nit picky and ridiculous but for a highlighter I don't need nearly that much. It's great that Hard Candy isn't stingy with their packaging though! Haha. That's the only con I have. Everything else about it is great. Not to mention you can get it at Walmart for 8 dollars which is pretty good. Definitely worth a try if you're looking for a nice highlighter!
This product is very similar to Benefit's Highbeam and Nyx's Liquid Illuminator! All have a pink-ish tint to them and blend out with a sheen on the face. This product is great - it's very blendable, soft, and somewhat sheer so you can build it up for more/less shine. The tube also carries an insane amount of product - I will probably never use up this entire tube in my lifetime, so it's great value for money. I put this on after foundation and it blends seemlessly into the skin on my cheekbones, nose, and chin - it really does give an illuminated, porcelain, effect. A definite recommend!
I like this product! I bought this at Walmart for only $8 and you get a ton of product which is definitely worth the money and you don't need that much to begin with either. I use half a pea size to full pea size, daily, so this thing is going to last for a long time!
I only use this on my bridge of my nose, right above my cheek bone, on my cupid's bow, and sometimes my chin. I don't put the product directly on my face, but I blend a bit first on my back of my hand first then work it in on my face. I do this because this product has a pinkish tone and it contains a lot of shimmer. So I blend it a bit on my hand before on my face so I won't rub my foundation out and I won't want too much shimmer. It blends really well though.
It gives me a very nice glow and highlights the areas I want. However, the only one downside is it doesn't last the whole day. It does disappear and the only want to make it last longer is don't touch your face even with primer and translucent powder.
Could this product be better? Yes. But nonetheless, I will buy this product again! And you should too!
I bought this since I am running out of my Carmindy highlighter. It was $8 at Wal-Mart. I like the fact that it's in a squeezy tube, but I'm not crazy about the size of it- I guess you get a lot of product, but it's really big, which makes it hard to store. The product itself feels smooth and is a nice pinkish colour, but is a bit too shimmery for me, and doesn't blend as easily as the Carmindy one.

I love this product.It's an awesome highlighter especially since it comes with 76 grams of product.This goes on so flawlessly it never wipes off the products underneath probably because there is no greasiness to this product.It's a pink toned high lighter but not frosty like some highlighters.I really find with a light hand can really give you have lit from within look. This also looks great when added to matte foundations so that your face will have some dimension without being glittery or overly sparkly.
For 8 dollars if you're into the pink toned highlights I would check out this one.On my next trip to Walmart I will be buying the golden one.
Really really love most things about this product..
Pros:
-Beautiful, luminous, slightly-pink shimmery sheen (I use it on my cheeks and highlight area underneath my eye)
-Doesn't accentuate my pores!!
-TONS of product for $8 (one of the two reasons I wouldn't repurchase, lol)
-It does sort of remind me of Benefit's High Beam, in terms of color
-Has not broken me out
Cons:
-Does not seem to set or last...looks great when first applied, but one accidental wipe/dab of the area, no matter how long after application (even over a primer, foundation, etc.), and it's gone :-(
I still really like this product though, and am contemplating getting one of the gold ones.
FYI: For ladies who want a great highlighter and are willing to dole out the cash for it, the best long-lasting highlighter I've ever found is Dalton's H2Glo (it's a white highlight)! My mom gave me hers, and I love it!

Let me begin by saying that I absolutely ADORE this product!
I bought this on a whim while browsing the Hard Candy section in the makeup aisle of Walmart (yeah, crazy). I don't use blush because I have a prominent pink undertone (as is typical with redheads) and it tends to make me look clownish even when used sparingly. I decided to go ahead and purchase this in place of a blush because it has a slight pink hue with a ton of luminosity. A dab of this, distributed between the first two fingers of each hand, and swept lightly on the cheek bones and brow arch (sometimes on the inner corners of the eyes) creates THE PERFECT dewy glow with a hint of color.
The packaging is pink, shimmery, and pretty. <3
The value is amazing! Talk about bang for your buck! You get a gigantic tube for under $10 (and you can actually buy it at your local Walmart).
This is absolutely a staple for me. continued >>

I'm very pleased with this purchase. You get a ton of product for very little price. I've tried more expensive, high end products but this is just as good and at a more reasonable price. For me on my NC25 skin, it leaves a slight shimmer that blends into my skin tone. I use a pea-sized amount on the top of both cheekbones and over my eyebrows and it makes my skin glow without being overly shimmery. For me, it really is a glow. It does look pink out of the tube but like the other reviewer stated, it melds into my more yellow but fair skin. I'm going to try the bronze glow to mix into my body lotions for an all-over glow.
After years of searching I have finally found my Holy Grail highlighter, I'm SO pleased with this $8 USD purchase!
I'm quite hard to please when it comes to highlighters, liquid, cream, or powder. I have very finicky clog-prone, oily, fair skin, with very large/visible pores. So the majority of highlighters I've tried either enhance the look of my large pores, enhance my oily skin, break me out, or don't work with ultra pale skin like mine (I'd be just a hair lighter than NC15 in MAC for reference) But I've struggled with NONE of the above issues with this Glow All The Way Doll Face Highlighter, it's perfect!
It does appear a bit pink when it's first squeezed from the tube, but once it's blended into the skin it leaves behind nothing but glowing goodness. It's slightly shimmery, slightly sparkly, slightly sheen-y - It has a little bit of everything I could need or want in a highlighter, but not to the point where it's overbearing (which I am thankful for because my 30yr old skin can't handle TOO MUCH shimmer or sparkle in a highlighter these days!)
I got a Hard Candy gift set last Christmas (2011) and a sample size tube of this product was included. I never even tried it or gave it a second look until several months ago because I'd became so frustrated with highlighters enhancing and causing flaws rather than flattering skin like they should. So I was going through my makeup and found the sample of Doll Face, gave it a try and was instantly wowed. Needless to say I completely finished the sample, and repurchased the full size. I can not believe the mega size of this squeeze tube for only $8! &Since purchasing the full size almost 2 months ago I've used it daily and barely made a dent in it - lots of product here! I personally apply this with my finger, I do it in "dots" - a dot in the mid.forehead, a dot on both of my eyebrows, a dot right above each cheekbone, a dot on each side of my lips, and a dot on my cupid's bow - Perfection! :-)
Every review I do, whether I love or hate the product, I try to leave some constructive criticism regarding it, because not many things are really perfect in every way for me. But I honestly can't think of anything wrong with this. The packaging is a squeeze tube so I'm not sticking my fingers in any tubs or anything unsanitary, I can apply this just as easily with my fingers as I can a brush so no special brushes are needed for precise application, the price is amazing, and best of all it has given my goofy skin zero issues with flakies, enhancing large pores, clogging pores, or acne. Truly a 5 star / 5 lippie worthy product! I highly recommend this and do plan to repurchase! continued >>

This is a nice highlighted. leaves a soft glowly look with a hint of pink in it. Packaging is attractive a metallic pink that catches your eye. Price isn't that considering you get a whole lot of product for $8 2.7 oz. But I wouldn't buy it again because it fades quickly and I feel like my skin I oily enough to where I don't need highlighters for a dewy look
