This was actually my second VirtualVox (the first being for Budlight Radler). The Hard Candy at Walmart VirtualVox contest is all bout their newest summer collection - outside of their website (which doesn't ship outside of the states 💔) they're sold exclusively at Walmart.
Unfortunately for me, my closest Walmart has actually the saddest Hard Candy selection. Seriously. Just two little rows (that never seem to be restocked? And/or I just have the worst timing whenever I chose to take a trip there...which isn't often) and a rare display like the one in my photo to promote the newest items.
Hard Candy has been one of my favourite brands for a decade now and just as long, their baked bronzer in "Tiki" has been one of my go-to's. I normally prefer matte bronzers, but Tiki is a rare exception. It's just so damn pretty and subtle but buildable also. Their Fox In A Box collection - adore the packing, I just have to say - I have only tried the highlighter. The sad selection at Walmart is never kept up when I'm there, but one of these days!! I want to get a blush and bronzer. I feel like I'll be cheating on Tiki, but it'll always be my #1.
Now I can't talk Hard Candy without bringing up the Velvet Mousse liquid lipstick - again about the packaging, a simple tin but it's just gorgeous and I want them all even if I don't like and/or wouldn't wear the shade lol.
From top to bottom: Sweet Pea, Hibiscus, Cherry Blossom, Dahlia.
(These arm swatches are from Hard Candy's website)
So I have 4/7 in the first photo, as shown in my photo above.
Wisteria, Tulip, and Daffodil I do not have, and the only one that I would actually wear is Daffodil, so that's on my wishlist. Wisteria is a beautiful dark purple, but I don't see myself wearing it - Dahlia is probably as dark as I'd get. As for Tulip... I really, really don't like bright, warm reds, so I would never wear it. ...but I still want the tin lol.
Currently I have 0/8 in the second photo :(
Spider Orchid, Forget Me Not, and Buttercup I am desperate to get. On the wishlist!
Foxglove, Heather, and Mimosa Blossom are a maybe...I'm still undecided about them.
Hydrangea is like Wisteria's pastel-ish cousin lol. It's a gorgeous lavender but I couldn't ever wear it. And Snapdragon is also just too dark than I'd ever wear.
About the Cashmere Silk liquid lipsticks - there are definitely a couple I want.
Sadly these ones don't come in a cute tin lol :( The Metallic Mousse lips do, however I'm not much of a fan of wearing a metallic lip.
(On an unrelated note as far as the VirtualVox products) Another all time favourite, which I believe has long since been discontinued and I'm still bitter/heartbroken about it - the Powder Keg Loose Shadows, anyone?? Maybe they're still available in the states, or if they are still in Canada then I guess my already lame Walmart just decided not to sell them anymore, as I haven't seen them in stores in years.
I actually managed to dig up an old photo of my favourite shade "Kryptonite", alongside a baked eyeshadow that I can't remember the name of... something about a meteor? Those are also discontinued I think. The point is: bring the powder kegs back PLEASE.
