I mentioned in a post a few weeks back that I want to share more reviews of Kenyan brands and products. I have been trying out some local brands and have done a bit of shopping so I wanted to share more makeup and fashion posts. Today I decided to review Canvas Cosmetics’ On The Glow mist.
About Canvas Cosmetics
Canvas Cosmetics is Vegan, Cruelty-Free & Paraben Free. The brands site tells us that it was created for those “on the go” and can be used day to night.
The On The Glow Face Mist
I got the On The Glow Face Mist in “Pink Orchid.”
“Inspired by the Orchid, a symbol of perfection, this Face Mist is gentle on your skin yet holds your make-up in place and leaves you feeling refreshed (even if used in skincare routine). Our mist contains:
Aloe – Cools and refreshes
Caffeine – Promotes microcirculation, reduces tiredness & brightens”(Source: face-mist)
The Pros:
I thought I would start with the pros of this product:
The Cons:
And here are some cons:
– It’s very pricey for. Most Kenyans would not be able to afford this product and it’s definitely more of a luxury product that you would buy occasionally. That was pretty much the only con for me. I will add though, if you can afford it I would recommend buying it. The bottle is really big so the amount will last you at least a few months since you only need a little to give you a nice glow. It costs $2300 online at the moment (about $20) but I got it for less since I bought it at a store. That may not seem like a lot but in Kenya it’s a lot to spend on makeup.
My Overall Thoughts:
Overall, I really liked the On The Glow Face Mist. In fact, I have officially added it to my makeup routine. Makeup isn’t something I wear daily but when I do put on some makeup I usually start and finish with this mist. I even wear it on its own with only a bit of blush and concealer for that natural radiant look. Personally, I think it’s worth the money I spent on it. Would I buy it very often? No. Would I buy it once in a while? Yes.
Oh and apologies for how I look in the pictures. I was only partly done with my makeup but realised the sun was going down and I had to take the picture. The sun is the best lighting and I didn’t want to miss it because it wouldn’t look the same with a ring light.

I hope you enjoyed this review of Canvas Cosmetics. What did you guys think of this review? Have you ever tried this product or anything from this company? Do you like that glow-y look? Let me know in the comments below!
I think you look very beautiful in your photos, Pooja! Maybe this mist can make me look a bit younger. ☺️
Aww thanks so much! You don’t need it 😊
Such pretty packaging. Looks very refreshing! I agree with John – your photos are very beautiful 🙂
Thanks, I hadn’t put my mascara yet so I felt like the look seemed incomplete but hopefully no one can tell 😂
Honestly I couldn’t tell! The toughest critic is you, as cliché as that sounds.
True, I think we always see the negatives that others don’t notice.
Facts 🙌
Those are lovely photos! You’re very pretty. That looks like a nice product, or you just have lovely skin.
Thanks so much and yes it’s a lovely product!
At my age, I’ll need more than a mist to improve my glow, maybe some sandpaper! You are stunning! Hugs, C
What?? No, you look beautiful! I’ll be lucky if I look that good at your age!
Ahhh pretty!!
Good review actually 🙂
I won’t mind seeing more pics with this product 😛
Thanks so much, lol I could only take a few before the sun ran away 😂
Perfect clicks TBH 😊
I hope you do more such reviews 🙂
Because it’s always amazing to read credible information
Thanks and I also want to do more fashion reviews but it’s hard to find the time.
Well I can wait 😛
You look stunning, Pooja.
Thank you so much.
Thanks for the helpful review! I used to use a mist and then stopped. Your post reminded me that I need to go back to it…my skin has been feeling dry after sunscreen and BB cream.
Love your pictures too.
My pleasure! Yes, sunscreen can sometimes dry your skin but mists help a lot with that. You should definitely try adding some before applying the other products.
I should. I use fractioned coconut oil and that helps a lot to add moisture. I use oil and tree tea oil and rosehip oil.
I wish there was a homemade mist because I feel bad wasting all that plastic cause I go through it so quickly.
Yeah I’ve heard about coconut oil being really good for moisturising. I know what you mean, it’s easy to finish a mist and such a waste of the bottle. I think the Fenty Beauty one allow refills though.
There’s a lot of writing about coconut oil and fractioned coconut oil. I should’ve paid more attention to the info but what I remember is that fractioned is better for the skin…doesn’t have a scent and is less oily.
Yeah I have also read scent free oils are best for your skin.
One of my favorite oils is tea tree oil.
I love tea tree oil too and eucalyptus.
Eucalyptus is very nice too although I didn’t get its oil. I got peppermint and lavender; the latter, I discovered, gives me a headache.
Oh I see, I love lavender. I use eucalyptus cos it keeps the mosquitos away haha.
looks amazing pooja
how is your fingers now
Thanks and they are much better now.
you are welcome happy to hear that
The packaging is so gorgeous! The mist seems so good!
I know, it’s literally soooo cute!
That looks really good on you 😍 and I love orchids.
Thanks and it smells just like orchids, I love it!
Are you sure it’s the product that made you glow or is the glow just natural.
Unfortunately, I don’t naturally glow that much. Wish I did.
Your skin looks amazing! Wonderful glow. 🤗☀️
Thank you so much! 😊
You’re most welcome! 😊
You are very beautiful Pooja and I can understand not wanting to spend much on makeup. You probably don’t even need makeup to look beautiful. About the sensitivity, my skin has gotten more sensitive to makeup. You didn’t notice any irritation from it? I love the glow it gives you.
Thank you so much and yes I try not to spend too much on makeup since I feel there are better ways to spend the money. I also prefer using very few products so I don’t really need very many. I like a more natural look.
Yes, there was no irritation. I have extremely sensitive skin too and almost everything irritates my face but this one didn’t which was great.
You look great! I love hearing about products and music that are local to you! And how cute is that mist?! 💚
Thanks so much and yes it’s sooo cute!
Yes, you look great.
That’s pretty much SOP (standard operating procedure); = the better the product and/or service the more it costs. Quality costs time and time is expensive. Unless you believe time is, well …
And that is a problem – what people believe differs. You look great and your posts are helpful.
Thanks. Yes, I totally agree. A lot of times certain things cost more because they are better quality. That’s how I feel about this brand. It costs more because the quality is great and I also though the quantity was very good for the price.
Yah I agree. You look beautiful 🤩
Aw thanks so much 😊
Your skin does look dewy, spray or just natural youth 😊?
Thank you and unfortunately it was just the spray 😂
Umm…I don’t know 😊.
I love that it is vegan and cruelty free, your skin looks amazing.
Yeah I’ve recently stopped buying any products that aren’t cruelty free. I really liked this one.
You skin looked amazing! Too bad I probably can’t get it in America.
Thank you! No unfortunately, they only ship to UK, UAE and Kenya right now. But they are expanding and if I hear they’re shipping to US I’ll let you know.
*Your
This is really nice! I’m more interested in skin care than makeup right now, so I’ll be trying it out.
Yeah I would definitely recommend it.
The glow becomes you Pooja❣️
Aww thank you 😊
Love your looks. And somehow I feel that you look more glowing and youthful and intelligent than when I first started following you…
Aw thank you so much. It may be because I have gotten better at makeup lol.
So true. I think so too.
