Hey, guys! How are you doing? I told you I'm doing my best to regularly blog again so I am posting a review of another blush today. As most of you know by now, I have a certain fondness for Japanese cosmetics. I can't rave enough as to how impressive the quality of their products are even with drugstore brands. I was lemming a creme blush from Canmake, a Japanese drugstore brand, and it took me a while before I finally caved in and purchased and now, here is my review.
The shade I am reviewing is 01 Peach Dream.
What I like:
- The shade is a very pretty milky peach-pink shade. It somehow looks blue-based on my arm and cheeks.
- Texture is really soft, smooth, and creamy making it spread and blend easily on the skin.
- Unscented.
- Pigmented enough to show on extremely light to light skin but needs building up for medium-dark skin.
- Has not caused any irritation or allergic reaction on my skin.
What I don't like:
- It has glitters that seem like they have minds of their own because they go to different parts of my face. Beats me how they manage to do that on their own.
- Does not last even for an hour on my combination-oily skin type. Easily rubs off. Poor staying power.
- Pretty pricey for a drugstore brand and not locally available so you have to join pre-orders to get your hands on Canmake.
- Small and the packaging is flimsy.
Overall rating: 1.5/5 I think this is the lowest rating I have ever given a blush. That is how displeased and unhappy I am with this blush. Others may like it a lot but for a Japanese brand, I guess I expected a bit more from it.
Will I buy again? No, not even other shades. I'd like to try their powder blushes though.
Have you tried blushes from Canmake? What would you recommend?
Have a great week, everyone! :)
Cheers,
Hey doll, that's a pretty shade! I'm holding an awesome giveaway at the moment, please join ;]
ReplyDeleteWill check it out. Good luck on your giveaway! :)
DeleteLove the color :-) Have a good day to you
ReplyDeleteThank you. Have a wonderful one. :)
DeleteAw, that sucks that this blush didn't work out for you. Hopefully you can get your hands on some of their powder blushes!

I will, one of these days. Hehe. :D
DeleteYou should try the lmdb creme fresh tints, you will love them. They last very well on my oily skin.
ReplyDeleteEeh, even if I want to, I can't. It's not locally available. :(
DeleteI haven't tried any product from canmake, I honestly don't know where to get them. Though I always see beauty gurus use them like sasakiasahi.
ReplyDeleteThose blushes really look lovely.
There are stores in Multiply that do pre-orders and sometimes, they have stocks on hand. But you can also purchase them from apopofkawaii online. :)
DeleteHi sis, I get your disappointment with this product. Preordered pa naman so hihintayin tapos ang mahal ng price nito sa mga local resellers.
ReplyDeleteI have this too pero nabili ko siya sa Sasa Hong Kong and it was much, much cheaper, also I was able to swatch the shades before buying...ang OA sa shimmer nung shades I think 1-6. I got shade 10 which has no shimmer and is a warm peach color. It lasts on me but then my skin right now is dry. Maybe it just lasts longer on dryer skin?
I though that it would last longer than the one on the right (Laura Mercier) as it dries somewhat satiny as compared to LM. :(
DeleteLucky it lasts on you and the one you got does not have glitters. :)
I've heard about these blushes, they look very creamy and pigmented, it's a shame this one doesn't last on your skin! I know what you mean about the glitters going everywhere on your face, I had this problem with a blush too, ARGH!
ReplyDeleteI think these will last longer on those with dry skin. :(
DeleteYeah, not good when that happens with glitters.
i bought 2! One which works great but i gave my mom cos she loved it. The second one which is of a horrendous colour on me.. i used it once only.. made me look like i have a hypopigmented area on my cheek
ReplyDeleteOh no. I wonder what shade that is, which made your cheeks look that way.
DeleteAww to bad you didn't like this one. The shade looks nice pa naman.
ReplyDeleteWhen you mentioned about the glitters, I was imagining you glittering like Edward Cullen. Hehehe
Oh no, not like the Cullen guy. Haha! :(
DeleteI only own 1 of the cream cheeks. I forget what color it is but it's the bright orange one. This color looks super cute and wearable!
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how one would like this shade if glitters do not bother her. :)
DeleteThat's too bad it didn't work for you! I'm tempted to try a shade or two...I'm planning to use it after I've put on powder foundation, the pixiwoo sisters always can manage to put a cream product on their cheeks after powdering so I think its worth a shot for staying powder.
ReplyDeleteI apply it after pressed powder/foundation and it didn't help at all. But I do hope it works for you in case you decide to try it. :)
