Sold in Japan, Twany is a beauty brand under Kanebo. It carries a wide range of products (skincare, makeup, haircare, fragrance, and dietary supplements). On April 16th, Twany will launch a new line of point (color) makeup, Glamacy. (I am not sure if Glamacy will replace Twany’s two existing point makeup lines, Century and Century Technical, but it doesn’t seem so.)

According to Nikkei Net, “Glamacy” is a combination of the words “glamor” and “supremacy”. The brand targets those in their thirties, and the items are more about bringing out the dimension of the face than about keeping up with the trends.
Their eyeshadows and blushers have already been featured in Biteki magazine (May 2008), and I am liking the look of the blushers.

I, for one, don’t mind large cases at all, and I like blushers packaged like this. Both PK-01 and RS-01 look very wearable for me. I think PK-01 is a definite maybe……

I love your blog and added it to my list… link back if you like mine.
Glamacy, I like that!
Are you familiar with Kanebo’s skincare line? Just curious.
Thanks!
Hi BeautyPopStar,
Thank you very much for your kind words and for featuring my blog in your blogroll. I will definitely consider adding your blog when I update my blogroll next time.
Thank you for reading my blog! :)
Hi Jen,
I quite like the idea behind the brand as well. I don’t think we will see hip and trendy colors from this line, but I still look forward to seeing how it evolves.
At an usual Kanebo counter, there are many skincare ranges targeting different needs:
-Freshel (youth skincare)
-Impress (mature skincare)
-Suisai (moisture-oriented)
-Dew Superior (moisture-oriented, higher-end)
-Allie (suncare)
-Faircrea (whitening)
-Blanchir (whitening, higher-end)
-Freeplus (for sensitive skin)
I have used a couple of Freshel items before, and I liked them. Later on and a couple of years after Freeplus was launched, I tried one of the toners and I really enjoyed using it. (I bought two more of them later.) It was a very gentle alcohol-free toner that is very soothing and calming.
But all these lines are sold in Asia only, and I am not very familiar with Kanebo’s international skincare line Sensai.
(You can check the Kanebo website. The homepage has a list of links to the various skincare/makeup lines.)
Thank you for visiting my blog again. Hope you have been enjoying the weekend! :)
