Oh Blush-Baby! Don Your Pink Tiara and Let Love Blossom With The Canmake Cheek & Cheek Blush Duos

Paris B 32 Comments

Being somewhat blush crazed, it was only natural that when I was at Sasa one day picking up my Canmake Cream blush (have I mentioned again just how much I love it?!) I also stopped by to check out the new Cheek & Cheek Powder Blush duos (I first featured them here). I didn’t pick them up right then however. I did like how they looked but I was saving it for a rainy day purchase.

So when these landed on my desk you can imagine the war whoops of joy 😛 Pictured are the Canmake Cheek & Cheek powder blush duos in 02 Rose Tiara (left) and 04 Love Blossom (Right). They are adorably packed in small compact cases and have this really cute pretty kawaii sort of feel about them. Its like Jill Stuart packaging but scaled down. And at smaller prices too. They are adorable.

Apart from looking good, they apply very well too. The colours are pigmented yet have a silky, sheer and blendable quality that I swear is perfected only by the Japanese brands, especially at the lower end of the price spectrum.

Canmake Gokubuto Mascara Adds Volume But Does Not Hold A Curl On My Lashes

Paris B 29 Comments

Back in the day when I had every single Canmake Eyeshadow Trio ever made in my collection, I used to hear raves of this item called the Lash Essence which was a base, primer, lash conditioner… what have you… from Canmake. But I’d never really heard of anyone raving over their mascara. Bit strange, I thought. Surely the mascara would be as good?

Recently, I had the chance to give the Canmake Gokubuto mascara a go. I do not know what Gokubuto means, but from the description and the images, I take it that this is a volume mascara, designed to give lashes volume and curl. Fascinating. Few Japanese mascara have disappointed me so it was interesting how this one would fare.

My favourite cream blush : Canmake Cream Blush (featured in #7 Coral Orange)

Paris B 49 Comments

I’ve never really been much of a cream blush fan to be honest. I may have really liked the Max Factor cream blush but I soon fell by the way side again because its finicky! To get the best application from it, I had to use a brush and I always take a deep breath, say a quick prayer it won’t go wrong, and then dab it on my cheeks. On good days, its a lovely flush. On bad days, its “OMG Did someone slap you?”

So when I tell you that I have found my HG cream blush, just believe it because I’ve been around the block and back and I’m happy to stick with this one!

canmake cream cheek blush review 7 coral orange

Its the Canmake Cream Cheek Blush. Tada! A small wonder that fits in the slimmest of jeans pockets and applies like a dream. Actually, I have no idea why you’d want to slip it into your jeans pocket, but you could if you wanted 😛 Its very slim and very compact. I picked this one up from Sasa at about RM39.90? I forget 😛 The colour is #7 Coral Orange.

They’re kidding right? Where’s the coral… or come to think of it, orange in that pink confection?! 😯

Happy Saturday Ladies!

I’m down and out for the count, as it were. I came down with a nasty 24 hour flu bug in the past few days and have been working hard to get better. I meant I got infected within 24 hours – right as rain today, down and out the next day – is it me or are these flu bugs getting harder to quash?

I’m taking all sorts of liquids and keeping hydrated etc etc but am staying away from antibiotics for now. I don’t do antis unless I can’t help it. Still, can’t leave you without something to read or at least view, so here are some new stuff I’ve picked up that you will see reviewed in the coming weeks/days/and hopefully not months 😛

Inglot eyeshadows and Freedom palette

I finally made it down to the local Inglot store in Sunway Pyramid for their official opening last week. Took me over an hour to choose these colours to make up my 4 pan Freedom palettes but I’m happy with them 🙂 Opted for the 4 pans as they are more travel friendly, and I’m very surprised that the pans are a lot bigger than I expected! Good value for money for sure. Wanna name my palettes? 🙂 Inglot eyeshadows (RM28 each) and 4 pan Freedom palette (RM27).
