MeMeMe Launches Coral Blossom Cheek & Lip Tint

If you love the Benefit Chachacha tint and lollitint, then you will love this up and coming product by the cosmetics brand MeMeMe.

MeMeMe is an affordable make-up brand in the UK which is mostly sold in Superdrug. I have always noticed that MeMeMe do release very similar products to Benefit and they always seem to mimic the best selling products. MeMeMe are cheaper and more affordable brand compared to Benefit.

Anyway MeMeMe will be releasing their new Coral Blossom cheek and lip tint to expand their current range. Personally I haven't tried Chachacha by benefit but Coral Blossom seems to be the cheaper version of that. As by the name of this product, this can be used as a cheek tint and a lip tint which I do love a multi use product in certain situations. Also by the name, this is a peach/coral colour which is not going to be overly pigmented but will give a nice subtle wash of colour either onto the cheeks and/or lips. This is perfect for the summer and will last a lot longer than a powder in hot weather.

 
On the MeMeMe website, they call this range the 'Little Angels' family which is a nice name for a range. As it states on the website, the tint will be available in July. There is no release date when this product will be out, but it should be out within the next month. The Coral Blossom only costs £5.50 which is a brilliant and more affordable price compared to Benefit. The tint should be available on the MeMeMe website and online/instore in all Superdrug stores.

Upcoming beauty products for September 2013

Hello, I have six brand new launches coming out in the month of September and there are more launches but I would actually buy these products.

The first one is by Sleek makeup and it is their vintage romance collection. This collection consists of two products, one is an I Divine pallet in Showstoppers and a blush called Vintage. The colours in the i divine palette are all very autumn inspired such as berry colours and very neutral brown colours. Also there are three finishes to the eyeshadows; matte, shimmer and sparkle which is the norm for sleek limited edition palettes. The blush is a neutral but very shimmery and sparkly. The sparkle is an iridescent silver glitters which could look over powerful if applied too much. As I have said before this is a limited edition collection, so I would get it before they run out of stock or stop selling it. The eyeshadow palette is £7.99 and the blush costs £4.99.

The next one is a blush by Benefit. I have already done a blog post on the new benefit blush. Please see the following link for more information about the Benefit blush - http://laurensmart1993.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/benefit-rockateur-new-launch.html

The third product being launched in the month of September is by Models Own. Models Own are releasing the firework collection. I love the names of the nail polishes and the name of the whole collection. The firework collection includes five glitter nail polishes. These glitter nail polishes can be used as a top coat over another nail polish or on their own. Sparkler contains holographic strands in a clear base. Catherine Wheel contains four glitters which includes mini gold strands, red dots and holographic strands. Banger contains blue strands, two shades of blue hexes and fuchsia micro glitter in a clear base. Roman Candle contains pink glitter with black and silver strands in a clear base. Lastly Rocket contains red strands with black dots in a clear base. They each costs £5 but I know on the Models Own website, they will usually do a deal where you buy the whole lot for £20 pound. This collection has already been launched in their bottle shops, 2nd September for the official Models Own website, 4th September for Boots stores and 25th September for superdrug stores. 

The next nail polish collection launch is Essie. Essie are releasing six new shades for the autumn and winter 2013. The names of the nail polishes follow, For the twill of it which is a rich maple with reflective olive shimmer. After school boy blazer which is a deep midnight blue. Twin sweater set which is a vibrant crimson red. Cashmere bathrobe which is a soft, true grey. The lace iron which is a jewel toned fuchsia. Lastly Vested interest which is a woollen cool grey teal. This collection is getting launched in Boots and Superdrug at £7.99 each.

The second to last one is by MUA and it is a brand new palette. I don't know what the name of this palette is called but I know it is a neutral toned palette. The first row of colours start from very light highlight colours to light browns. Then the second row is from medium to dark browns with one very deep/grey blue. I think this palette will be under £5 like with the other palettes from MUA. 

The last product is from Rimmel London and it is their new stay matte mousse foundation. This is a lightweight, shine control, long lasting foundation.  Their are six shades; light porcelain, Ivory, True ivory, Soft beige, Classic beige and Natural beige. This foundation will be release on 4th September in Boots and superdrug at £5,99.

These are all the products coming out in September. I hoped you liked this post.

Benefit rockateur (New Launch)

Benefit are releasing a new blush (Yay) in September and it is called rockateur which sounds pretty interesting. Rockateur is a rose gold shade with the word ROCK in the middle of the blush. I have read reviews about this new blush and apparently there are two shades of Rose gold. One shade of rose gold which is lighter with more shimmer and the other shade is darker in tone and less shimmer.

Benefit rockateur comes in a standard box with it being a boxed blush and it also comes with a small brush (as  per) and a mirror in the top lid.

The weight has become a talking point between beauty bloggers because the usual boxed blush comes in at 7 to 8g but the  rockateur weighs 5g which is a huge difference from the past. However the price is still £23.50 which is I think the normal price for a boxed blush by Benefit. Benefit has claimed that the reason why there is less product in this new blush is because it is a soft formula which can crack and make a mess within in the box.

Despite the lack of product in the box, I think I will consider buying the  rockateur since it looks so pretty and I love rose gold colours, so this is perfect for me.

Benefit Rockateur is out in Boots and online from 22nd August at a price of £23.50.

July Faves 2013

Hello everyone, so this post is going to be my favourite beauty products for the month of July. I haven't done a favourites for a few months now because I usually stick to the same products if I like them but I have decided to try out a few new product.

If you like to watch the video version of the July favourites, then please click on the below video which will take you to my youtube channel.

So I only have 5 favourite products for the month of July, some new and some old.

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer - This is a lovely concealer because the texture is sooo creamy and soft to touch which makes it a pleasure to apply. Fit me covers most problem areas such as blemishes, spots, redness, acne scars apart from dark circles. I would use another concealer to cover up dark circles since this does cover the darkness to some extent but it doesn't completely cover and get rid of dark circles. This is a brilliant concealer for £5.99 and I have mine in 15 fair.

Collection (2000) Fix Me Up - The Collection fix me up is a spray which should hold makeup in place in hot weather. When the UK had hot weather, I tried it out and sprayed it on my face. It felt really cooling and smelled amazing. My face did feel quite wet from the spray but after five minutes, the wetness went and was left with normal looking makeup. I felt like this helped my makeup to stay in place whilst I was at work all day and was still left with makeup in the evening.

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner - I have never really been into liquid eyeliners because I am never good at liquid eyeliners and I was a bit scared of trying it out. However this has completely changed my mind. The eyeliner was a felt tip which makes it a lot more precise and easy to draw a line onto the top of the lashes. Very easy to use and easy to take off with a makeup remover, loved it.

Urban Decay Cream Highlighter Sin - The Urban Decay cream highlighter in Sin I have had for a couple of years now. When I first got it, I loved it but after a while, I found new products which took over and this got forgotten about. One day, I looked through my makeup drawers and found this out again. It is a lovely champagne shimmery colour which I think will look lovely on all skin tones. The colour is brilliant for the summer and highlights the areas well.

Benefit Coralista - Benefit Coralista is probably one of the best blushers I own because it smells amazing and the colour is a lovely coral with a slight shimmer. Since it is a coral colour, it is perfect for the summer which is why I chose it again but it looks lovely on all skin tones especially fair like me. The shimmer isn't overpowering which is good because its nice and subtle and the colour is noticed a lot more than the shimmer.

So those were my favourites for July and I know there wasn't a lot but I promise next time I do a favourites there will be more.

Upcoming Make-up Products For The Next Few Months

So i did one of these type of posts a long time ago and i thought i might as well do another one. These will be the upcoming make-up products that which be launching in the UK in the next couple of months. Some will be high brand and some wont be. These are the products that will be coming out very soon -

Topshop will be launching another glitter nail polishes in their make-up range. They do have a collection of glitter nail polishes (only 3) but they have never done a purple glitter nail polishes before. This is all going to change on the 21st March 2012 when they are going to be releasing a new colour called razzmatazz and razzmatazz will be a purple glitter top coat which can be used over other nail polishes.

Benefit has been releasing a lot of brand new products lately and they still keep on coming. The next product coming out is a liquid bronze highlighter. This is a first for benefit and it will join the liquid highlighter collection they have already which is highbeam and moonbeam. Sunbeam will be launched in June which will be ready for the summer and will compliments all skin tones. This can be mixed with moisturiser or foundation to make it less pigmented and can be used as an all over warm glow ready for the summer.

Collection 2000 are bringing out a new mascara called Multiplier mascara( Love the name). The multiplier has been developed to bring 14 times more volume to the lashes to create a wide-eyed look. The mascara is priced at £4.99 and is available at superdrug and boots stores nationwide on March 17 2012.

Last up is a limited edition collection by Boots No7 for the summer. The collection has been created by lisa eldridge and is called the Summer of dreams collection. I also love this name, it gives a nice feel to the collection and already interests me. The collection includes a bronzer (£13), glitter top coats in gold and silver (£8 each) a set of four eye crayons in Metallic Bronze, Hazy, Green, Cornflour Blue and Metallic Grey(£13) and lastly a Nourishing Lip shine glosses in Pink and Peach (£10.50 each). All these products sounds interesting and i might have to buy the bronzer and the glitter top coats.

Benefit Pencils

Hiya everyone. A little while ago, glamour mag was offering free benefit pencils with their mags. There was three types. There was Eye Bright, It Stick and Bad Gal. There was one pencil with every mag. So i got two of them. I got Eye Bright and It Stick. I wasnt keen on the Bad Gal because i am not a eyeliner person and i dont wear eyeliner much. The mag cost 2 pounds each. I looked through the magazine and i didnt like it because on every page there was a advert. Basically there was a lot of adverts and very little writing, so i didnt like the mag. This post is a little review on both of the pencils. I know it is late but i didnt make a blog that long ago. So here we go....

 The Eye Bright is the best pencil i think. The pencil is too brighten the eyes to make the eyes look more wake and more refresh. The pencil is a light pale pink colour and it is a nice colour for the eyes to make them wake. I would put this in the inner corner of the eye and i might use this as a highlighter under my brows. Also i would use this under my eyes to make my skin look brighter and look more healthy. The texture of the pencil is very creamy and it glides onto the skin easily.Also it is very blendable. Its not cakey, its just looks nice of tired skin. So i would recommend this for anyone because it is a nice pencil to have in your make-up kit.

The It Stick is a concealer. The concealer is too conceal spots etc. There was only one colour it came in. The colour was a light colour. This will not be good for people with darker skin tones but it is good for me because i have a light colour skintone and it suits me very well. The concealer is a basic tool for the make-up kit. The texture is the same as the Eye Bright. It is very creamy and easily blendable, so you dont need to rub away to blend in with the skin. This is also i good pencil to have.

 I never had anything from benefit, so this was very good for me. Benefit products are expensive for me because i like to save my money and i rather buy benefit products when i get a proper job. The pencils come in a little box with the name on it. I thought it was nice to have it in a box. So this is my sort of review on the benefit pencils i got in the glamour mag. Thanks for reading this post, any suggestions on what i can do, please leave a comment on this post or any posts i have done. Thanks
