Since last fall, I'd gotten my hands on three more Canmake Stay-On Balm Rouge SPF11 in the colors 13 Milky Alyssum and 14 Poppy Bouquet from the regular lineup, and a Tint Type T04 Chocolate Lily.

I sure hope Canmake will never discontinue these. I had to remind myself several times to rotate the last ones out because I kept reaching for them over all the lippies in the tray. They're affordable, easy to use, available in pretty colors, and with damn decent quality for a drugstore product.
- 13 Milky Alyssum: translucent and shimmer free coral-red. Love!
- 14 Poppy Bouquet: translucent and shimmer free orange-red. More love!
- T04 Chocolate Lily: transparent plum-brown that leaves a faint mauve stain.

See my previous posts:
Ha, one of these (in color 9 - my favorite for fall) was in the giant batch of cosmetics I made my mother take home for me. I still have a somewhat melting 11 here that I'm hoping to use up this summer. These are so good, my only complaint is that my previous 9 melted in my bag.
ReplyDeleteHi Julia,
ReplyDeleteYeah they do melt with heat from the sun. Not sure about body temperature though. Whereas I do know those Fresh Sugar Lip Treatments ($24!!!) melt with body temperature. No sun needed.

I ordered milky alyssum and Poppy bouquet last week! Now I wandered if I should have gotten the tint one as well (the first three turned the same shade of hot pink on me). Btw I am a big-ish fan of fresh lip balm as they are the few winterproof lipstick I could wear... And I finished one full size and a mini.
ReplyDeleteAs a chronic 35° person, I don't think I've ever personally melted a lipstick :D
ReplyDeleteIs it possible that my last comment on the Maquillage post didn't make it to you?
Hey Mina,
ReplyDeleteThe T04 left a faint mauve stain on me, so let's hope it wouldn't pull hot pink or grandma-magenta on you ^.^"
Oh no doubt the Fresh lip treatments are fantastic. My gripes with them are that they're so overpriced and they melt with body temperature.
Cheers,
D.
Hey Julia,
ReplyDeleteI was surprised too that I was able to melt a Fresh lip balm! It wasn't like I'd taken it into the sauna with me--I had it in the waist pocket of my wool jacket and I was in an air-conditioned hotel room!
Oh no! I did not get your last comment on the Maquillage post! I didn't hear back from you and thought the silence meant that you were letting me down gently ^.^ Please do resend!
Cheers,
D.
I wouldn't just ghost you! Sorry, I tried to repost and hope it worked this time. >.<
ReplyDeleteHey Julia,
ReplyDeleteIt's ok to not answer every question. I wouldn't have taken it personally ^.^
Cheers,
D.
I finally finished my canmake balm so I can buy another, haha. which to get...
ReplyDeleteI really like them - so easy!
Hi Claire,
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the super late reply. A bunch of blog comments got stuck in the moderation box and I had no idea they were until Citrine alerted me to her missing comments.
Which new canmake balm(s) did you end up getting?
Cheers,
D.
Hi! No worries; I figured you were busy or something.
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten one yet; still scraping out the old one lol. T01 Little Anemone is on ny list though. I kinda want to declutter my other lippies first. Maybe next week :)
Hi!
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm both busy and incompetent for not realizing something's up until months later when someone else pointed it out to me >.<"
And you're so much more disciplined than I am. I've only had to scrape out Medieval so far because I carry it at all times and reach for it way more than all my other lippies!
How are you?
Cheers,
D.
