It's all about MeMeMe

I was a very lucky girl this year for my birthday, when my sweet, caring mum gave me some money, telling me to go out and get some nice make-up that I could use and write about on my blog.

So a Big THANK YOU MUM.

When I got back home to Dublin, I just knew if I didn’t hit a cosmetic counter quickly. I would end up spending the money on something else, or worse putting it towards those dreaded utility bills. A trip to my local chemist who offer a great range of skin care and cosmetic brands, was where I headed as I knew I would just find what I was looking for and MeMeMe was what I was after.

I picked up four items that I knew I could use on a daily bases, running around after the boys and hubby. I wanted products that I could use to create a very natural day time look in less the five minutes.

Flawless Tinted Moisturiser

“Silky touch tinted moisturiser rich in light-reflecting pearlescent pigments and microspheres to give effortlessly over skin to deliver a flawless finish. Enriched with nourishing Jojoba Oil and SPF15 to give your skin essential moisture and UV protection.”

I was very surprised by this, as I have tried tinted moisturisers in the past and never liked them because they were either a heavy tint that was orangey/yellowy or there was no tint at all when applied.

With MeMeMe Flawless Tinted Moisturiser the texture is silky smooth and light that offers a good descent coverage that gives a slight dewy finish. It can be applied quickly with the finger tips or if you had time, lightly buffed on with a foundation brush. The wearability last all day without any touching up and with a SPF 15 you are truly covered and protected.

Available in 4 shades, the one I picked up is 02 Beige Blush priced at €12.50

 Correct and Perfect Concealer Kit.

This is a two step concealer kit with a “Hydrating cream concealer used to hide sneaky tell-tale dark circles and blemishes before setting it in place with the light-weight mattifying powder. This essential compact pot, complete with mirror, offers on-the-spot action for girls on-the-go, so you have no excuse to look anything but ravishing”.

I’m going to be honest here, when I first tried this I thought I’m after wasting money buying this, I found it to be very light and not sticking to my skin. Now I didn’t want to write it off there and then so I took my time and had a wee play around and found that applying with a small concealer brush, waiting a few seconds, reapply I was able to build up coverage and then set with the mattifying powder which is finely milled allowing the concealer to last.

I love that it comes with a little mirror handy when out and about if you need to reapply or touch up areas that have faded with rubbing/touching. The only drawback is the amount of mattifying powder you get, I’m almost half way though after a few weeks.

Available in 3 shades priced at €8.50 The shade I picked up was the Nude.

Light Me Up Lip Gloss

“High shine lip colour complete with a mirror on the side and ingenious light-up lip applicator for easy on-the-go application – perfect for lips and love the spotlight! Contains plumping agents for volume and has high-moisturising properties to help the smooth lip contours”.

I’m loving this lip gloss (Just like the GOSH Light N’ Shine) with tiny micro shimmers that you barely see, it’s a non sticky gloss which is what I love; hate that tacky feel you sometimes get. On application you get this menthol tingling sensation with a slight smell and taste of mint with a high gloss finish. The wearability is pretty long lasting and best of all has very little transfer. The applicator is a sponge tip again something I hate, but quite slim and surprisingly gives a little more precise application, the packaging has a tiny mirror down one side with two tiny LED lights in the lid, handy for when out and about.

Available in 9 shades priced at €8.50 The shade I got was a very natural colour No.2 Illuminate.

Nail Collection Long Lasting Gloss

“Inspired by the inherent qualities possessed by a true free spirit, each and every gloss tells a story. Features maxi-brush technology to guarantee a seamless and professional one-stroke application”.

I know I said at the beginning of the summer I wasn’t going to spend big money on nail polishes and boy I’m glad I didn’t keep that promise with this nail polish.

On first using MeMeME Nail Collection I just fell head over heels in love with it not only the colour but the product itself. It’s a lovely creamy texture that’s not too thick, goes on evenly streak free. The brush itself is quite wide and this is the only fault I can find with this collection, designed so that you only need to stroke once down the nail and it does but getting polish on the skin as well as the nail. Its dry fast as well which is great with a beautiful high gloss finish without the need for a top coat, it was chip free for 2 days, 3 when I did use a top coat which is a record for me.

Available in a large choice of colours it priced at €6.50 There colour I picked is 92 Alluring.

Over all I was quite pleased with this brand as you can see from the before and after pictures and would recommend it, the packaging is very chic but there is a slight trend across this brand that is very similar to some of the high end brands but very adorable, so if you see it do pick some up because I know I will.
