Not to long ago I picked up at my local Wal-Mart Hard Candy's Button Your Lip in Flirt and got in my Avon order Mark. Gloss Gorgeous Stay On Lips Gloss in Bare. They are very different and I have different views on them so I wanted to do a comparison review.

I plan on doing full reviews for both of these babies, but for now in this mini review I wanted to give you some quick swatches and my overall views on them.

Mark. Gloss Gorgeous in Bare

Mark. Gloss Gorgeous in Bare left on lips for 15 mins then blotted

I know it doesn't show in these photos, but the Mark gloss is really sheer and after 15 mins blotted off to my natural colour. I found no staining occurred.

The Liquid lip colour by Hard Candy on the other hand went on opauqe and is the perfect stickiness.

Sum it Up
Size and Price:
The Winner is...Hard Candy! by a landslide!!!
Bigger, has an automatic liner with sharpener and is cheaper...it totally wins.

Quality:
The Winner is... Hard Candy again.
I love Mark. but the cheap minty smell makes it seem cheap. Plus I really don't find it stains my lips, if really just find it to be a lightly tinted minty (cheap minty) lip gloss. The Hard Candy on the othuider hand is thick and rich and lasts longer on my lips. I know it is a liq lip colour but it isn't sticky and has a quality to it that makes it seem like it is of good quality...so it wins.

Overall:
The winner is Hard Candy! I actually returned the Mark. gloss because I felt it didn't do what I wanted and the Hard Candy was a better deal and I would rather have more of them than the Mark. in my collection.
