Review: MeMeMe Shimmer Stack

I love multi-tasking cosmetic products as this makes travelling so much easier when you want to travel light and need to avoid bringing one item of each beauty product. An example of a great multi-tasking product are highlighters and illuminators. They are available in a wide range of tones and shimmers and recently I have been using MeMeMe Cosmetics Shimmer Stack in Gold.

MeMeMe Shimmer Stack in Gold is an illuminator which provides definition for the cheeks, brows and eyes. The packaging itself is a large sturdy square compact with a large in-built mirror. I love compacts with a huge  in-built mirror as I wouldn't need to bring an additional compact mirror on board a flight. The compact is quite large that it fits nicely in the palm of my hand.

There are five shimmery shades in this Shimmer Stack and these include a light pale gold, champagne gold, copper gold, taupe grey and an intense antique gold tone. Each shades works well individually as an eye shadow. As an eye shadow, the shimmer applies on smooth and sheer, however, the intensity is buildable. 

The fusion of all five shades applied to the cheeks provides a lovely shimmery satin sheen to illuminate cheeks giving a luminous and glowy finish. The results of the Shimmer Stack in Gold reflects a light gold shimmer to the cheeks. The shimmer is very fine and not at all gritty or overly shimmer once applied. The best way to apply is to lightly dust onto areas where the sunlight would hit, such as apples of the cheeks, the point of the nose and forehead. I always follow the rule of thumb: 'less is best' and that's the way to go with this Shimmer Stack.  
 

MeMeMe Cosmetics Shimmer Stack is available in three shades: Bronze, Pink and Gold and retails for A$24.95 online at www.mememecosmetics.com.au.

Review: MeMeMe Long Wear Satin Lip Cream

Ever since I have used MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Moisturising Face Base that I reviewed here, I am a little more familiar with glamourous vintage-look cosmetic range by MeMeMe.

One of MeMeMe Cosmetics newest product launch is the Long Wear Satin Lip Cream lipsticks! It sounds divine and very luxe, doesn't it?! There are ten shades in the range and each shade represents a Greek Goddess. I have the shade China Rose which represents Eva. On the side of the cardboard box the lipstick is packaged in there is a little description that describes Eva:

'The Innocent and angelic Eva, the embodiment of life, danced across the land with the grace of an angel'

China Rose is a lovely rich neutral pink shade with a creamy soft shine. The intensity of the shade makes this lip colour perfect as an everyday shade and it is also suitable for all skin tones. The consistency is very creamy and soft as the formula is enriched with shea butter and vitamin E. After taking photos of this lipstick I swatched it on my hand and the lipstick partially broke as I applied it on my hand. I was a little devasted and realised that the warm atmosphere here in Brisbane may have contributed to the formula being so soft. From there on, the best way for me to use this creamy lip colour is to use a lip brush and store it in the fridge.

The formula is very creamy and glides on smooth! I have noticed that the lips need to be conditioned with lip balm before application to ensure a smooth finish. It feels very confortable on and adds a rich pink satin sheen. The results of wearing China Rose is fabulous as the formula does not dry the lips but instead keeps my lips hydrated and nourished due to the presence of shea butter and vitamin E within the formula. The formula lasts remarkably well with just a touch-up midday after lunch and that's all for my lips to look good during my work-day.

MeMeMe Long Wear Satin Lip Cream retails for A$23.95 and is available online at www.mememecosmetics.com.au. Currently, if you sign up to their newsletter online you will be honoured a 20% discount off your next purchase.

Review: MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Moisturising Face Base

Cosmetic brand MeMeMe is a UK brand that has recently landed in Australia. I first came across MeMeMe when I received a generous sample of their popular Seventh Heaven Moisturising Facebase in my February Bellabox and I am quite surprised to see how strikingly similar this face base is to Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base. 

I absolutely love love LOVE this face base as the formula is lightweight, the consistency is gel-like and it is very nourishing and moisturising on my skin. The face base is enriched with shea butter, vitamin A and beta-carotene to keep the skin hydrated and moisturised. The scent is absolutely heavenly and very pleasant! There are a number of citrus scents formulated including the zest of lemon, orange, lime and mandarin. The lemony-scent is a little overpowering and most dominate between the fruits, however, the scent does disappear over time. I'm very impressed with the results as this face base has characteristics of both a moisturiser and primer. My skin feels supple and smooth which makes it the perfect base for applying foundation. My foundation lasts longer and looks fresh compared to not wearing this face base and the great thing is it absorbs quickly into the skin. The quality is fantastic and I look forward to using this face base every morning.

MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Moisturising Face Base retails for A$34.95 and is available online at www.mememecosmetics.com.au. Currently, if you sign up to their newsletter online you will be honoured a 20% discount off your next purchase.

February Bellabox: Valentines Edition

A few days ago I received my February Bellabox and this month, the theme of Bellabox is 'A Little Bit of Love' to celebrate Valentines Day. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the contents of my February Bellabox were wrapt in red tissue paper rather than the usual turquoise coloured tissue paper. Also, my Bellabox was packaged in a Bellabox signature satchel bag rather than the usual turquoise hard cardboard box. 

February Bellabox- 'A Little Bit of Love'

Here is what I received in my Bellabox:

Contents in the February Bellabox

Star & Rose Confetti Soap Rose (pink), 1 rose worth ~A$2 (box of 12 A$25.95)
b Collection by Bloom Collecta Eye Shadow in Pink Sands, full size 3.5 g A$9.95
SpaRoma Shimmer Wrap with Jasmine, sample size ~5ml worth ~A$1.50 (full size 150ml A$44.95)
MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Facebase, sample size 10ml worth A$11.65 (full size 30ml A$34.95)
Sasy n Savy Citrus Hand Cream, sample size 5ml worth A$1.50 (full size 50ml A$15)
Chocolate Box Chocolate Hearts

February Bellabox Total worth ~A$26.50

Star and Rose Confetti Soap Rose

As I opened my February Bellabox and unwrapt the items, the first product which caught my eye was the beautiful pink rose which is actually petals of soap combined to form a rose. The rose petal soap is so pretty I'm not too sure that I will use it. I've placed it in the bathroom near the sink and it does give a good look to the bathroom! These rose petal soaps are available in a box of 12 and I think these make a great gift for mum!

b Collection Collecta Eye Shadow in Pink Sands

b Collection is the sister brand to popular cosmetics brand Bloom. The shade I received is called Pink Sands and it's a gorgeous shimmery eye shadow with a copper sheen. The staying power isn't great, so using an eye primer is a must. The miniscule shimmers make this eye shadow perfect for an everyday eye shadow as the finish is not over the top. Using this eye shadow over matter shadows works very wel too. 

SpaRoma Body Shimmer Wrap with Jasmine

SpaRoma Shimmer Wrap is the second product I have received from Bellabox since I subscribed last year. There is a subtle scent of jasmine and there are also small amounts of chunky gold glitter. I personally would not use this product as a body shimmer, however, I would consider using this shimmer wrap over eye shadow to add some spark.

MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Facebase

MeMeMe is a UK brand and I was very happy to receive a sample of their Seventh Heaven Facebase in my box. Seventh Heaven Facebase is a moisturising primer enriched with shea butter, vitamin A and beta-carotene to rejuvenate, hydrate and nourish the skin. This facebase is scented with lemon zest, orange, lime and mandarin and these scents make this facebase smell lovely! The lightweight texture makes this facebase so easy to evenly distribute across the skin and the fast absorbing properties is another great factor. This primer reminds me a lot like Bobbi Brown's Vitamin Enriched Face Base that I absolutely adore. So, MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Facebase is a great alternative to high end brand Bobbi Brown's popular facebase.

Sasy n Savy Citrus Hand Cream

Sasy n Savy citrus hand cream is yet another divine scent in the form of a hand cream. The hand cream is simimlar to a balm and has a lightweight texture. When applied to the skin, the hand cream absorbed through my skin almost instantly! I was very surprised as I've always had to take in some time to massage other hand creams I've used to assist absorption. My skin feels vey hydrated, smooth and supple! 

All in all, I'm very happy with the February Bellabox and the contents in my box associates very well with the Valentine's Day theme of A Little Bit of Love. 

What did you receive in your Bellabox?
