Canmake eye nuance

20130323-021107.jpg
I got this from a Canmake Christmas random pack set. There are other colors but I decided to stick to neutral. I always see this brand around, but the price is a bit higher than Maybelline and etc. This cost $17.90 alone.

I don't think I'll ever need more eye shadows. Plus it's a Japanese brand, so everything is in Jap. Made it hard for me to really understand the product. Even though its just a simple eye shadow or blush or something.
Maybe mascara might be a problem, as you don't really know if its lengthening or volumizing. But ya, usually there's picture illustrate to help. And some come with English language stickers for clarification. It's just me though. The feeling I get with non-English product. I just rarely get them.

Anyway, back to topic.

The colors are lovely. Pigmented when swatch on fingers. Quilted design but ain't rough to the touch. In fact, it's smooth, not chalky. Not a matte shadow, more of a shimmer, but not shiny type. This is in shade 13. The lightest color is a pale beige yellow. Followed by a shimmery golden light brown and lastly, a dark coppery brown.

Then I put it on. I saw nothing. I was late for class, so I had no choice but to ignore my eyes and leave. Came home 6 hours later and up close, the colors are still there. My lids are more oily, but it bring out the intensity of the colors more than when I put them in the morning. Weird.
Next day, put on after primer. Still light, barely there. I checked like 10 hours later, up close the colors intensity is so much better than when I put them. Really weird.
From a distance, you can't really tell though. I mean sure there's a little sparkle, but that's it.

I found that it's hard to blend the shadows together. And the color doesn't transfer on my eyes. Even with primer, it doesn't help at all. So pretty when swatch, but useless when used. So disappointed. It's so pricey and compact, but just so bad.

Oh, I did read a review of someone who is fair and she loved this product. Apparently it transfer well on someone with fair skin. I guess if you have a very light skin, the color does transfer well on you.

P.s. I tried finding her blog again, but I just cant find it. So I cant link her.

That stinks that it didn't work out like you wanted. It does have a lovely color and pigmentation when swatched. Maybe it would look better on top of another color?

Hmm, I never really try layering eye colors. I shall do that. Thx for the idea. :)

This is in the shade 201, creamy and a hint of light milky pink. I like that it is pretty, but the shade doesn't really suit me. What I like best is that they can engrave your name on the packaging. So it is pretty.

Beauty Uk Baked Blush

A red blush looks really intimidating on the box but I picked this up cause I want something different for my collection. It's just a cardboard box kind of packaging, secured with magnet, so it's really simple. It's quite big and like all baked product, it's dome in shape. So it's actually quite bulky. I wouldn't bring it for travel that's for sure. The color payoff is good, but instead of red it's more pink. You can use it sparingly and it will be lighter or you can pack on the color which will gives you a really bright pink. In fact, if lightly dust over your cheek it is more coral than pink. It has tiny specks of shimmer, but it doesn't show. I can't remember how much I bought this for but it wasn't expensive. It's not my favorite blush, but I find myself reaching for it a lot. So that's something isn't?
