Canmake Nudy Glow review

More Canmake xD
I got Nudy Glow lipgloss in 01 - Rose Macaroon, 02 - Strawberry Whip, and 04 - Sugar Milk Tea.

Swatches: from left 04; 02; and 01. Haha I have no idea why I've got it backwards xD

Natural lip colour:

Lip swatch: 01 Rose Macaroon

02 Strawberry Whip

04 - Sugar Milk Tea

Close up of the brush:

These glosses are really pigmented, semi-sticky, and have a creamy, glossy finish. Lasting time is a good 4-5 hours. The formula is thicker than that of your average glosses, which makes application just that much more tricky with the brush applicator. I hate brush applicators -__- they're so difficult to apply with precision and I inevitably end up with gloopey lips >__> ah well...
Other than the brush applicator, the other thing I dislike about this gloss is that it does tend to settle into my lip lines T.T
I think they come in 5/6 colours which are all in the nude pink/beige family, hence the name?lol xD my favourite colour is Rose Macaroon!
As always, I find a bit to complain about packaging wise; while the bottom half of the gloss is quite pretty, the lid feel really cheap >__>

Damage:
I paid $11 or so, I believe they're like $5-6 in Japan. For those of you who live in Vancouver, Canmake is sold at Aberdeen Centre for highly jacked up prices xD

Verdict:
Other than deducting points for brush applicator and the formula, these glosses are pigmented, creamy and moisturising. They actually remind me a lot of MAC's Cremesheens which are twice the price with much less product. If you can get hold of them, you should really try them out as they are really superb glosses for the price!

  3. i love your high quality pics! i'm loving the pigmentation, maybe a lip primer would minimize the gloss settling in the lines?
