MeMeMe Flawless Face Collection Review

Remember my review on the MeMeMe Flawless Pressed Powder?

Remember that I said I'm saving up for something similar to it???

Well, it's here!!!

Anyway, I'm talking about this MeMeMe Flawless Face Collection.

Manong JRS delivered this last September 4. (read my MeMeMe haul HERE)
(Thank you so much MakeupHub!)

Yes, I've been using it since then!

Ok, let's talk about the packaging first, shall we???

The packaging is made of cardboard and it comes with a cut-out carton that you slip the box into to keep the box closed. (see photo below)

The box has a ribbon attached to the box's flap that acts as a "handle" when you open it.. ^_^

Aren't the design on box looks so elegant?

And the box is really sturdy, mind you, that means I can recycle it.. ☺

The next photo, you'll see the back of the carton, which indicates the ingredients of each item included in the collection.

Back of the carton

The Collection includes the following items:

1. MeMeMe Seventh Heaven Enriched Moisturizing Face Base (30ml)
2. MeMeMe Flawless Cream Foundation in 02 Beige Blush (30ml)
3. MeMeMe Flawless Concealer in 05 Beige (8ml)
4. MeMeMe Flawless Loose Powder Translucent (12g)
5. MeMeMe Loose Powder Brush

As you can see, the collection includes full size of each product.

MeMeMe Flawless Pressed Powder: Translucent

I have always been in search for a good compact powder.

Slim and light weight enough that I can carry with me anywhere!

Because lately, I'm in love with translucent powders, but it is a pain to carry it with me, with all the pigments going everywhere!

Then I saw Mememe Pressed Powder.. It comes in two shades, Natural & Translucent.

I got Translucent which is the lighter one..

What caught my attention is the details on the packaging itself..

It's so simple yet very elegant. And it is also very thin that I can put it on my pouch...which is a plus!

Here, you can see the product shade & description, along with the ingredients.

I was skeptical that this will disappoint me like most compact powders do,

but girl, I was wrong!!! 

This is really a pressed translucent powder, so it doesn't give any additional coverage.

Because it's translucent, anyone can use it. The formulation is a bit powdery, but that's okay (for me.) because it glides on the skin smoothly and it is easy to blend..

I use this to set my Maybelline BB Cream.

And it's so amazing!!! The result is really flawless!!!

It comes with a sponge.....a very thin sponge, the thinnest sponge I've ever seen! seriously!

(forgive the dirty sponge, I tried using it but it is useless!!! really!)

This is the only downside I have for this product... :(

But whatever, I, you can always buy a generic sponge. hehe..

Oh! By the way, I got this from MakeupHub by NatureleCollezione for PHP 480.00.

By the way, they're having a 20% off on all their onhand items until the 27th of August 2012.

So, yes! I recommend this to everyone, but most especially to those who doesn't need additional coverage.

I am now saving for the Mememe Flawless Face Collection, that's how impressed I am with this powder.

**you have questions regarding this product??? just leave a comment below and I'll try to answer it.. ^_^

That's it!!!

Thank you for your time! :)

'Til next time lovelies!!!

SHOUTOUT to Make Up Hub, Happy 2nd Anniversary!

Smile always and Stay beautiful

Models Own Hyperbrite Lipsticks

Keeping the namesake, this is straight off the runway! Available in four fabulous Hyper-Brite shades and a vanilla-berry scent, these lipsticks will create the perfect colorful pout. ---Models Own 

I have been wanting to have a one of these lipsticks for such a long time because I am intrigued & curious about it, but my budget won't allow.....haha! **poor me**

The first online store I saw, sells these for like PHP450.00 each. Waayyyy too expensive for my liking. Though I really want one, I restricted myself on buying lipsticks that are over PHP300, haha! and so I just stare at it and just browse & wished that someone would give me one of these or hoping that these would go on sale or something. But no luck! :(

Just when I thought all hopes on having these are gone..

Ms. Avi of MakeupStash had a one-day sale. I luckily browsed her album, and guess what? I saw Models Own Hyperbrite on SALE!!! Hah! I almost fell off my seat when I saw she's only selling it for PHP199.00 each! Hah! The thing is, its limited, 3pcs per shade.
More than 50% less than the first one I saw!
So what else did you think I did? haha! I commented mine on all, well almost all, sadly I was too late for the red one. But I didn't gave up though, I texted Avi if she still have one more of that red to spare, and if she can sell it to me. And she said YES!!! *evil laugh*
I'm the happiest girl that time.. **OA na kung OA! haha!**


And so, after paying, the parcel finally arrived at our house last May 28.☻

Now for the REVIEW..


FIRST IMPRESSIONS:

• Two of these lipstick's has a damaged tip when it arrived. *look at the photo above, two have smudged the top & its still sealed.* Anyway, its fine with me, I understand the risk of shipping. And the damage is just a teeny-tiny bit. ☺
• The packaging caught my attention. I didn't expect it to be so chic, elegant and very unique. But I was afraid that because it has this glass-like packaging that it may break easily, but girl! I was wrong! It actually has the sturdiest packaging I've seen.
• It has this vanilla-berry scent. But my boyfriend compared it to Skittles candies, if you're familiar with that. Well, he was right! haha! :P The smell is very sweet yet it is not bothering at all.

The first one in line is Flaming Red, a bright cherry-red shade.

second shade is called Orangeade. This is the orange-est lipstick I've seen! No color undertones or whatsoever just ORANGE!!! ☻

next one is called Pink Hawaiian. A reddish-pink shade.

the last color is Annalise's Pink. The brightest of 'em all! ^_^ a neon-hot pink shade which reminds me of Barbie! ♥

At first glance, I am definitely drawn to Annalise's Pink, it has this perfect barbie-ish color that I love!

Here's some swatches in different lighting..

The name says Hyper-Brite! Well, they are not kidding, these colors really are bright on the lips!!!
It is really pigmented, but to get its shade you need to swipe it on your lips 3-4 times, for that really bright color, and/or swipe it once or twice for that sheer cover. :)
At first I was kind of lost because it says "Matt" i don't know what was that suppose to mean for I thought this is not matte because when I applied it, it has this slight sheen to it.
BUT!!!
after a minute or so, it actually mattified! My boyfriend's even surprise how matte it is!
I can even compare its finish to NYX's Matte Lipstick.

Some bloggers say its not matte, some say it is.
I say, its matte.☺

Another thing about these babies, these are quite long wearing!
After I apply 3-4 swipes of Annalise's Pink on my bare lips at 7am, and it actually mattified mind you, after I ate lunch the color just lightened a bit, I didn't retouch or anything, almost 10hours have passed since the application, the color's still visible on my lips, but it only looks like a stain. Which is very impressive.

Here are photos of moi....

L-R: Flaming Red, Orangeade, Pink Hawaiian, Annalise's Pink

Look how vibrant the colors are!!! agh!! LOVE!!! ♥

I am really really in love with these lipsticks!

These are the ones that I'm using ever since I got these!

The colors may look, slightly intimidating, but these are definitely wearable.

PROS:

• Packaging is very durable.
• Delectable scent that is not over whelming.
• Pigmentation is good.
• Long wearing.
• Not drying on lips.
• Striking colors.
• lots of online beauty shops are selling these now. (try MakeupStash, link given above.)

CONS:

• Only available in 4 shades.
• A little too expensive for those who have tight budget like me if not on sale.. teehee!

RATE:

• 9/10

VERDICT:

• These are worth buying & worth every peso! ☺ I will definitely buy more of these if I can.. ☺ I would really recommend these for all of you kikay girls out there! ♥

That's it!!! ☺

I hope you enjoyed reading this & hopefully this post gave you an idea about this product.
