Inexpensive Beauty Find: Small Canmake haul

As I probably mentioned before Canmake is pretty much a hit or miss brand for me. Either I love their stuff or I find it to be total crap.


I am always curious for Canmake's items...they're one of the cheapest Japanese drugstore brand so testing out items doesn't break the bank and I always might find some fine things so trying is worth it.

I purchased 3 items from Canmake when I hauled some things from Ichibankao last time.

I got:
-Glitter Eyes 03
-Cover & Stretch Concealer UV 01
-Nudy Glow Rouge 01 Rose Macaroon

-Glitter Eyes #03:


I have been eying the Glitter Eyes for the longest time but never got any of them as I was quite disappointed with any Canmake eyeshadows I had tried so far so I was sure the Glitter Eyes wouldn't seriously thrill me.
The Glitter Eyes are actually pretty decent shadows! At least the trio I got.


The texture is surprisingly soft and smooth with medium pigment. Even if the name "Glitter Eyes" is sort of intimidating the 2 colors only impart a slightly shimmery finish whereas the highlighter is shimmery with a few glitter bits. (They look pretty though, not over the top glittery!).
The shadows blend well and last most of the day on me.


The color I got (#03) contains a peachy brown, a deeper coppery brown and a cream colored highlighter. The 2 colors show up nearly the same on me with just a little more depth in the darker color.
All in all this is a pretty decent eyeshadow trio and worth checking out. It's nowhere the quality of other Japanese brands but you get quite a nice bang for your buck!

-Cover & Stretch Concealer UV in #01 Light Beige:


I believe this concealer won some award (Cosme or so) so I was quite curious trying this out. It comes in 3 colors so I really hoped the lightest would work for me.
The Cover & Stretch Concealer comes with SPF 25 PA++ which is a great plus for a concealer in my opinion.


The concealer is very thick and pasty and offers really good coverage and stays on long (it's waterproof!).
Blending is a bit hard if you use it on bigger areas unless you use a good moisturizing primer or face care before.


I find the color 01 Light Beige is light enough to use on spots but too dark around eyes. For spot coverage this is a great product though!


I would say the color 01 would be a perfect match for someone NC20-25. The other 2 available colors look significantly darker online.

-Nudy Glow Rouge #01 Rose Macaroon:


So far none of Canmake's lip colors really worked for me as the color/texture usually didn't work for me.
Since I love pink beiges/nudes/light pinks/roses etc. the Nudy Glow Rouge range caught my eye when I saw it on Ichibankao.
The Nudy Glow Rouge comes in a pretty tube with brush applicator.
The texture is rather thick but not sticky. The color I got is quite pigmented.


What bugs me a little is the staying power which is quite little and the slightly uneven application as the color also tends to settle into any fine lines on/around my lips.
I like the color though and if I reapply frequently my lips always look pretty. If you aren't into high-maintenance lip color then this isn't really for you though!


#01 Rose Macaroon is a light beige pink which looks more like a milky pink on my lips.
