Hard Candy's Glamaflauge makes it's way to Canadian Wal-Marts!!

If your obsessed with watching Youtube videos as I am, you may have heard U.S guru's talking about Glamoflauge. I've known about it for so long now and it just recently appeared on Canadian shelves which is kind of annoying. May I ask why it takes so long for products to circulate into Canada lol?! 

Well I was super excited when I first saw this on the Hard Candy stand however all the color's were all gone. I went back to another Wal-Mart and the same happened, they were all sold out. From what I've heard there is only three available available in the U.S however, Canadian Wal-Marts have 5: ultra light, light, medium light, and tan. You'd think the assortment was pretty good but sadly I did not find a matching color.

I finally purchased the concealer yesterday after seeing it. I was debating between medium light and medium. Somehow I always end up getting shades that are TOO dark for me so I was debating really hard. I picked medium because medium light just looked too light! Well I took it home and was really disappointed. It had the biggest white cast to it and did not blend at all. I then switched it today for tan..I quickly tried it on the back of my hand in the car and...BUMMER! Tan was too orange and too dark for my skin tone so I ended up just returning it. It sucks because I really wanted to try this concealer, and there isn't a shade that matches me. It baffles me how light the shade medium is like seriously?!  I wonder what ultra light would be like.. I must say that like the concealer says this is some heavy duty stuff, you can feel it right upon application, it's thick.

If you've been wanting to try this out, you can find it at Wal-Mart! I hope you have better luck in finding a shade. I must say though I really like how they have the concealer pencil along with the tube it allows for more precise application.

    1. I never cared too much for it but they do have some neat things. I want to try the baked bronzer (the lightest one)

  2. Maybe you could mix the 2 shades together to get the right colour? I heard that the government is really strict on approving ingredients and that's why it takes so longs for products to get released here :(

    1. I wish I could but it seems like the tan would darken the color too much. Ohh that makes sense! Thanks:)

  3. Ooh, yeah I think it would be better if you mixed the two shades I usually do that with Bourjois foundations as I find it works better with my skintone :) I'm your 100th follower btw :)

  4. I actually picked this up in the US awhile ago (sometime last year) and to be honest with you I was not pleased with it, it was too thick and it did not apply well ;(

  5. There was an open one in my local walmart and i tried it out but found it way too thick. although i want a full coverage concealor for under my eyes this is so think it would settle in the fine lines. have you tried the fox in a box blushes by hard candy?? they are great!

    1. No I haven't but I really want to try the baked bronzers!!
      Honestly I agree, I've been experiencing dry skin around my eyes because of my benzoyl perozide soap and lemme tell you the concealer I use is doing just that. Even on the back of my hand it felt so heavy!

  6. I've yet to try Glamoflauge, but I agree with Chelsey, their Fox in a Box blushes are amazing! Super affordable and highly pigmented! I have it in Hot Flash! :D
