MeMeMe | Long Wear Satin Lip Cream | Berry Crush

Hi Guys! Another Lip stick post today. I was going through my lipstick collection the other day and picked up this lipstick that I have never used and I realised how much I like it. 

This is one of the MeMeMe Long Wear Satin Lip Creams and this is in colour 02 Berry Crush. I really like the colour of this, it is a fushia pink with blue undertones. These lip creams are really pigmented and last on your lips for a good 3-4 hours which isn't bad considering they retail at just £8.50 (currently on offer for £6.50)! 

These are enriched with Shea Butter and vitamin E which means that they are really 
moisturising and made my lips feel super soft! They are also slightly fragranced which means 
they don't have that nasty cheap lipstick scent/taste!

I also love the packaging of these lip creams, they come in a box and each one has a different
goddess on it. The lipstick itself feels more expensive than it is it comes in a black
matte tube. 

You can purchase these on the MeMeMe website, they don't have a massive choice of colours 
but the colours they do have are lovely! 

Current Favourite Summer Nail Polishes!

Hi Guys! I don't usually paint my nails on a regular basis but recently I have been changing my nail colour on a weekly basis! So I thought I would share 4 of my current favorite colours that I have been using!

1. This is 68 Generous from the MeMeMe long lasting gloss collection. A really pretty purple colour, I love the MeMeMe glosses as they are really opaque, in the picture above I used just one coat! They also last for at least a week without chipping which is really good for a "drugstore" nail polish! These glosses also have maxi brushes (wider than the standard nail polish brush) which makes the application really easy and smooth. You can purchase these on the MeMeMe website, they have a wide range of colours which vary from dark's to brights and they are currently on offer £4.00 each!

2. I recently purchased this polish from fragrancedirect, if you have never been on this website its 
well worth a look as these OPI polishes usually retail at £11.50 each but on the fragrancedirect
site they have a small selection of colours for just £3.99 each! This is a pretty pink with silver 
shimmer is such a pretty colour. its called OPI Pedal Faster Suzi and it was from the Holland Collection released for Spring 2012. I like this on my nails more than I thought I would as it is quite girly compared to what I usually wear. In the picture above it is two coats but when I use it on my nails I tend to use 3 coats as it is quite sheer. 

3. This is by far my favourite colour at the moment. I am obsessed with coral colours and this polish looks so nice next to a tan! My friend gave me this polish and I am so glad she did as I have got so much use out of it! The colour is beautiful and the MODELS OWN polishes are such good quality. This polish is called Coral Reef. I definatly want to expand my collection of MODELS OWN polishes as they have such an amazing colour range!

4. Last but not least I used this BarryM polish throughout winter and I am still using it now. I just think it is a really pretty blue and I love this on its own or with my models own Blizzard polish over the top. It is called Blue Moon.

I'd love to hear what polishes you are loving at the moment! 

MeMeMe Flawless Cream Foundation | Review

I have recently been trying lots of different foundations and one of which was MeMeMe's Flawless Cream Foundation. On the MeMeMe website it states that this is a medium coverage, personally I would say this is a medium/high. It’s really soft and creamy and goes on to the skin really softly. 

As you’ll know if you read my blog I have very dry skin and I find that this foundation is really moisturising. It has a SPF 15 so good for the summer (whenever that decides to arrive!). It says on the website that if you want a dewy finish to add the MeMeMe moonbeam to it. I don't have the moonbeam but I do have Benefit’s Highbeam and I love the finish when I add that to this foundation. 

The only thing I dislike about this is the plastic packaging; I think this makes it feel cheap. This retails at £12.50 and I have just seen that it’s currently on offer and you get a free concealer with it. It only comes in four colours - I have two which, when mixed together, make the perfect colour for me. I have beige blush and porcelain pure. Overall I really like this foundation and would definitely recommend it!

Mememe Goddess Rocks

Hi Guys, recently I have been trying Mememe's Goddess Rocks. Like all of Mememe's products I think that the packaging is adorable, these bronzing rocks come in a little grey pot which has the Mememe Cherub on top. 

There are two different shades of rocks in the pot, one is a gold colour and the other is more of a rose gold. These rocks are highly pigmented so you only need a very light hand otherwise it can look very over the top, they are also very creamy and easy to apply. I really like the fact that these give a really nice sunkissed glow and aren't too glittery. 

I have been using these as more of a highlighter rather than bronzer. You can also use the 

individual rocks as eye shadow, which I really like as I am obsessed with wearing golds on my eyes at the moment. I am looking forward to using these in the summer when I have a tan as I think that you could use these on quite a natural look to give you a glow.

I bought these rocks when they were on an offer and got the Mememe brush free. these rocks retail at£12.50 but are currently on offer for £10.00! - www.mememecosmetics.co.uk

 

MUA Constellation- Gemini

Today I thought I would have a go at using my MUA constellation. I bought this about a month ago but haven't got around to trying it.

First of all I put on two thick layers of MeMeMe prime and protect gloss, I then added the MUA beads and finally I applied a top coat. When I wore these they looked so pretty and I did get a lot of compliments about them but they only lasted a day before half of the beads had come off. So overall I wasn't very impressed I was hoping that they would last at least a few days but then again they were only £3.00 so you cant really complain.  

Me Me Me Nail care gift set

I recently won a MeMeMe facebook giveaway- if you haven't already then go and like the MeMeMe Cosmetics Facebook page as they are always running giveaways!

So anyway my prize was a MeMeMe nail care gift set  I was really excited when I won this as I have tried a few of MeMeMe's polishes and they are really good quality. 
The gift set came with a Nail Buffer, a Nail File, ‘Softly Softly’ Hand & Nail Cream,  ‘Innocent’ and ‘Graceful’ Nail Glosses and ‘Prime & Protect’ base & finishing gloss. 
After using these polishes I have to say they are pretty colours, amazing quality and very long lasting. As I have said in previous post's all of the MeMeMe polishes come with "Maxi-brush technology" I really like this as I find them easier to apply than with usual polish brushes.
Overall I think this gift set is lovely and if you haven't already its well worth checking out the website as they have lots of really cute gift sets which are ideal for Christmas/Birthday presents!

Nail gift set - £19.99

Seventh Heaven

I have been using MeMeMe's seventh heaven now for 3 days and I think it's amazing. I have always used Clarins HydraQuench and thought that I'd never find anything better but I have! 

Seventh heaven is a moisturising face base. It has the most amazing citrus scent and really works on my dry skin! My makeup also goes on so smoothly on top of the seventh heaven cream. My partner who never notices my skin/makeup even said "your make up looks nice today" and when I asked him what he meant he said "your skin looks smoother" - this must be good if he noticed! The packaging is really cute as is all of MeMeMe's packaging. 

On the back of the box -"Rich yet lightweight the Moisturising Facebase is enriched with Shea Butter, Vitamin A and Beta-Carotene to rejuvenate, nourish and hydrate skin. Active nutrients and extracts work to brighten, smooth and even out skin tone to prime and create the perfect base for makeup application"

I was lucky enough to have been given this at a recent MeMeMe event that I went to but it only costs £15.00 for 30ml and compared to my usual £33.50 for 50ml of HydraQuench I will definitely buy this again as it will save me a lot of money and to be honest its better!

Some More MeMeMe

Some more products from MeMeMe. If you haven't read my previous post about Mememe -this is a lovely brand and the products are very similar to some more high end cosmetics. MeMeMe is cheap, quality and pretty. 

Blush Me! Colour = Bronze. RRP: £8.50

As I have written in my previous post, MeMeMe blush me blushers are lovely and if you have used Benefit's blusher/bronzers they are pretty much identical apart from MeMeMe blushers are a lot cheaper!

This blush me is in bronze - This is a great natural bronze. The box comes with a small brush which is really cute and the box has a mirror inside.

Boho Balm Colour = Pink Rouge. RRP £6.50

This is a new product from MeMeMe its a lip and cheek balm. I have tried other cheek balms before and haven't been a fan as I have found them sticky on the skin but this one isn't sticky, you do have to use quite a bit to make it show up on your skin though. Both of the shades look nice on lips, their nice, smooth and easy to apply and are very moisturising.

This is a handy product just to keep in your handbag so that you can top up whilst out. It comes in two shades this one that I have is pink rouge and the other one is coral taupe which is darker.
