It's all about Mememe

Self obsessed title much? Well this post isn't about me, it is in fact about Mememe Cosmetics. I have being meaning to do this post since the day I discovered this little gem. I had never heard of this brand until I saw it stocked in my local Pharmacy and I suddenly realised my prayers had been answered. Mememe Cosmetics are a UK based brand which was relaunched in 2009. These products are ridiculously similar to the Benefit Cosmetic Range but for a third of the price. Yes that is right..a THIRD of the price!

The first product I picked up was the Blush Me! Blush Box in Pink. As you can see below even the packaging is similar to the Benefit Bow O' Powder range. At first glance the pink shade does look quite severe but I bought it in hope that it would be similar to the Urban Decay Afterglow Glide On Cheek Tint in Crush. Which looks quite strong but not as full on when applied to the cheeks and thankfully I was right. The Blush Me! Blush Box gives a light yet noticeable tint to the cheek which you can build on if preferred. I personally prefer this blush to my Benefit blush. So much so I plan to pop back to my Pharmacy and pick up the other shades available.

The second item from the range I bought was the Correct&Perfect Concealer Kit. This is a two step concealer providing a cream concealer and a setting powder. Again..I love this! I bought it in nude and it blends so well. The coverage is really good and covers up my blemishes around my nose and chin so well. I also use the cream concealer as a base for my eyeshadow and it works perfectly. In the past I have gone through so many different concealers and I found some cream concealers had a tendency to crease and make my blemishes even more apparent. However teaming this concealer with the setting powder gives me a smooth and flawless finish and I will definitely be repurchasing.

The final product I picked up was a nail polish from the Nail Collection Long Lasting Gloss Range and I chose the Innocent-Nude Ivory shade. I am very impressed by this. You do require two coats to get the full effect of the nail polish but I do like the shade. It is very fresh and I find it is a brilliant base to build on with some of the Topshop Nail Art Pens. I would repurchase this product but I hope to try out some of the different shades as there are tons to choose from.

So that's my Mememe Cosmetics Collection..So far! What do you think? Had you heard of  the brand before? If so what is your favourite product from the range? Because there is so much to choose from and you can see them all here.  And let's be honest a flawless make up look all the while not breaking the piggy bank..what's not to love?

Hope you enjoy this post and all feedback is welcome. Speak Soon.

Love,
