When I visited Japan, I hauled for Canmake products to give as souvenirs to my younger friends and young-at-heart friends because their stuff are so affordable and nothing short of sweet and cute! They finally opened a chain in the country late last year (at last!) and for their first collection for 2014, they're launching a Spring-Summer collection that will just make you say "KAWAII!" :D

Canmake traces its roots way back in 1986. It has always been known for its cute, always-up-to-date, and reasonable makeup items. Moreover, Canmake is also known for its sensitive skin- friendly makeup and is also a highly raved brand in Cosme!

The Kawaii Spring-Summer 2014 collection is an extensive one, and it features new products for the eyes, lips, cheeks, and complexion. The quaint launch was held in Shangri-La Hotel, Makati last week. That Lasting Multi Eye Base was dubbed as a super affordable dupe for Urban Decay's Primer Potion. I'll get one for sure!

The executives of Canmake Japan were present in the event and they aided in the Canmake Spring-Summer makeup demo. What I love about attending events/product launches of Japanese makeup brands is I always see the brand founders and executives-I may not be able to speak with most of them, but seeing them present and making sure that the occasion is successful sure taught me a lot about passion and dedication!

Anyhoo! I was surprised but happy to know that the price difference here and in Japan is not significant. What a relief! I'll be showing you the complete Kawaii Spring-Summer 2014 collection after the cut!


Canmake's got skin care too! They have cleansing water for Oily/Combination Skin and one for All-Skin-Types, a light, quick-absorbing moisturizer, and a rich, night-time emulsion.

Presenting the Kawaii collection:

Covers pores and corrects unevenness for skin that's as soft as...you bet! A Marshmallow!

I don't have stock photos of these, but the Cheek Brush and Angled Brush are also included in the collection, but they will be available come March 2014. I'm excited for these products! So which one should I review first? :)
