Hey guys, so I'm gonna let you know about 'Mememe Cosmetics' - (find their Irish facebook page here, official UK facebook page here). While it's origin is from the UK, Mememe is slowly but surely making its way across the pond! They're wanting to bring you luxury products without the luxury price-tag. It's currently spreading its range in a lot of chemists across Ireland. Find the full list of Irish stockists here.
So, I was sent a few lovely items from Mememe last week. One of which was 'Angels with Halos Skin Illuminator' - two words; love it! There's nothing more that I love than a glow. About a year ago, I went through a bad acne breakout for a couple of months and was afraid to illuminate my face & make it dewy as my pores would show up. But now, a year and a lot of tablets later, my skin is perfect! Freckles that I dislike, yes... but spots, no! So now that my skin is clear, I've been really looking for new things to make my skin stand out & glow. I love the dewy look and there's a lot of products for luminosity I live by - so needless to say, I was delighted receiving this!
The shade I have is '3001'. It says on the box that you can wear it alone without any foundation to give your face a bit of a pick me up, or you can mix it in to give a healthy glow to add to your every day look! I took a little swatch and the light instantly reflected the iridescent colours. This particular shade is too dark for me to wear without any fake tan as I am as white as a ghost!
I squirted a little bit of this onto my hand and spread it out. This tiny little blob would have covered my face and more! It does have some level of coverage in it, so it's great to wear on 'No Makeup' (illusion) days!

Right photo - Foundation applied on top of the skin illuminator. Your best bet is to mix it up with your foundation and apply at once, but thought it'd be easier to show you this way! I'd recommend applying it with your fingers and act fast as it dries in quickly!
I love the iridescent glow it gives when hit with some light. Angels with Halos Skin Illuminator... €12.99
I also had a go of their non sticky 'Lip Glaze' - A quite highly strong pigmented gloss that, as it says on the tin, is non sticky! Yay! I personally find it quite hard to get my hands on non-sticky glosses! I never really buy big brand lipglosses, as I figure they all do the same thing really! Rich Colour Lip Glaze... €7.99
You may be thinking 'Hmm, why was this review worth my while?'
Well besides giving you the low down on this bargain brand, I may just have some Mememe Cosmetics to give to one lucky reader!! ;) Stay posted! Until then... have you entered my current competition? One of the prizes is actually a Mememe Cosmetics 'Cherub's Blush - Cheek & Lip Tint! Enter here
Hope you enjoyed! Martha xx
