CANMAKE CREAM CHEEK REVIEW and SWATCHES

Canmake's cream cheek blushes are probably the best cream blushes I have ever tried. It comes in little round clear plastic containers that is very lightweight. I believe this line has 11 permanent shades and releases LE shades every now and then. So far, the shades I have are: 03 Strawberry Whip, 07 Coral Orange, 08 Marshmallow Pink, 09 Pinky Rose, 11 Heavenly Heart and 12 which I believe in a LE because it is not in the website. Here's how it looks:



Pros:
  • applies cream but dries to a matte finish
  • has slight shimmers on the pan but does not show on my cheeks
  • super blendable; you can use this over powder and it will not cake
  • can be used alone or as a base for a powder blush
  • makes me look innocent / younger
  • multi-use; I’ve used this on my lips for that nude-y lipcolor and topped it with gloss
  • cute simple packaging
  • does not break me out
  • fragrance-free
  • reasonably priced. got this for 68hkd (around 400php)
Cons:
  • not locally available but you can ask someone from SG or HK to get it for you. HK is cheaper fyi.
  • does not indicate its shelf-life
  • does not say in the packaging how much you're getting 
Now for the swatches!!

Do you notice that all of the shades have a "milky" tone to it? If you have medium to dark skintone, this might come across a bit chalky.

Now, I have a question for you guys! Which do you prefer, japanese cosmetics or korean cosmetics?
