Warm Baked Croissant Makeup Is All the Rage: You Can Finally Buy 3CE in Taiwan, and the Café Pop-Up Is So Photogenic, Delicious, and Fun to Explore!

K-beauty has drawn plenty of attention, from cosmetic treatments and skincare to, of course, makeup. One brand that’s been with many of us from childhood to adulthood and remains a familiar name is 3CE. Since 3CE has never had a physical store in Taiwan, it’s always been on the shopping list when traveling abroad. The good news is that you no longer need to travel overseas to buy 3CE in Taiwan!

In recent years, 3CE has used Shopee as its main sales platform in Taiwan. With the launch of its new Color Baker collection, the brand has created a pop-up store at “CRO#FEE 咖啡井.” Along with the full new makeup collection, there are countless adorable limited-edition gifts to pick up.

Inspired by the colors of freshly baked croissants, 3CE’s limited-edition Color Baker collection includes lip products, blushes, and eye shadows. For lips, “#29 Peach Yogurt” is a top pick: its soft apricot-pink base creates rich yet lightweight color for a naturally healthy-looking complexion, with a high-pigment, refined matte finish that leaves almost no visible lip lines. “Soft Glow Lipstick #40 Baked Peach” centers on a low-saturation nude tone with a fresh peach tint. Its hydrating texture melts into the lips in one swipe and feels light rather than heavy, while its moisturizing extracts help keep lips soft and supple for a gentle shade that’s easy to wear every day. “#41 Butter Spread” is a rare yellow-toned lipstick shade that gives lips a subtle, buttery yellow sheen in one swipe. Its smooth, non-sticky texture naturally brightens the lip color, creating a soft glow that looks like your natural lip color while adding a distinctive dimension to your makeup.

For cheeks, the single blush shade “#Maple Syrup Toast” is built around a naturally rosy tone that instantly brightens your complexion with one swipe. Its fine powder blends easily without looking muddy, and even when layered, it maintains a clean finish,
creating a natural flush with a soft Korean bare-face feel. Eye makeup is covered by the “9-Color Multi Eye Palette #Caramel Milk Tea,” whose warm, versatile color selection is easy even for makeup beginners to use. The finely milled powder adheres well, and its different textures all blend easily. The color payoff lasts without much fallout, letting you switch freely between everyday looks and more defined makeup.

The pop-up is at CRO#FEE 咖啡井’s Dun-Nan and Fu-Xing locations in Taipei. During the event, you’ll find the Color Baker collection, freshly shipped from Seoul, along with small gifts including sticker sets, baking-themed slippers, toast-shaped compact mirrors, croissant makeup pouches, and croissant charms. Since CRO#FEE 咖啡井 is a pet-friendly café, pet croissant bandanas and croissant headpieces are also available to redeem. If you’re interested, stop by before the event ends.
