I did a Yesstyle haul a little over a month ago and I was looking for something to complete my order to get free shipping. When browsing the beauty section I came across Canmake cream cheeks. Like I said in a previous post I'm looking for an equivalent (in terms of color and lasting power) of my Benefit Posietint. I didn't think about looking up swatches and instead trusted the colors on the pictures. I ordered #03 Strawberry Whip.
Canmake is a Japanese drugstore brand. The packaging is pretty simple but cute, made in transparent plastic. I was surprised when I first saw it because I expected it to be somewhat bigger. I apply the cream with a puff or a sponge.
It's a good pigmented shimmery cream blush, you need very little product to get a good coverage. The color is rosy pink with a hint of mauve, I like it a lot. It gives the rosy dolly cheeks that I like.
Unfortunaly the shimmery bits are too visible for my taste. I only use shimmery/glittery stuff on my eyes and usually for nights out, for everyday wear I prefer matte finishes. Lasting power is good but I keep getting glittery bits on my fingers.
Photoshopped the light to see the color:

See the shimmery/glittery bits, even without flash? Meh.

Cute outfit! For cream blushes, I'm really liking Mac's So Sweet, So Easy. It's a nice soft pink with no shimmers.
