Me Me Me Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink Review

I received this in one of my Glossyboxes and I was very happy to see it in there. I am a massive fan of highlighters and I really like liquid ones so I was looking forward to trying this out. I have never tried anything else from Me Me Me and I haven’t heard too much about the brand. 

At a first glance some might mistake this for a nail polish as the packaging is very similar. It comes in a clear glass bottle with a black lid that has a thin brush attached to it. I like the packaging but due to it being in a glass bottle it isn’t the most travel friendly of packaging. You receive quite a lot of product in the bottle as well (12ml which is more than a lot of nail polishes). 

I use the brush that comes with this to dot the product on my cheek bones. I then use the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush to blend it all in. 

This is a really pretty pale pink shimmery highlighter and it is similar to Benefit’s Highbeam although this looks more pink. This is pretty long lasting and lasts pretty much all day. Sometimes it will be half way through the day and I’ll just get a glimpse of it. I think it looks really pretty and I use it as a highlighter on top of a blush or sometimes I will wear it by itself as it looks really pretty. Although this is shimmery it is not too much and doesn’t make your face look glittery at all. It gives a lovely glow to the skin that I really like.

Favourite Highlighters

Today I thought I would share with you my favourite highlighters. Instead of sharing my collection I thought I would share my favourites as I have some in my collection which I haven’t tried yet and it would be a bit pointless showing you them as I can’t say whether they are good or not. By sharing my favourites I can give you mini reviews and also recommend them.

To apply highlighters I use the Real Techniques Setting Brush apart from the one from Me Me Me which comes with a brush so I use that to apply it and I blend it out with the Real Techniques Multi Task Brush. 

My first favourite is a liquid highlighter from Me Me Me. I have a few liquid highlighters from w7 and Ted Baker and they are similar to the ones from Benefit. The Me Me Me Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink is a gorgeous pink highlighter. This can be used as a highlighter on top of a blush or by itself. It looks really pretty when it catches the light. I have also heard of people adding this to their foundation to make it more illuminating.

Next is the Milani Glimmer Stripes in Pink Glimmer this is a lovely pink highlighter. This is a multi-purpose product and can be used on the eyes as well. You can use the stripes individually but I prefer to swirl them all together as it creates a beautiful sheen on the cheekbones. The packaging is very sturdy and I use this one if I am travelling as I know that it won’t get damaged. 

Next is one that I have had for quite a while and I find myself reaching for it a lot in the summer. The MUA Undress Your Skin Shimmer Highlighter is a gorgeous highlighter. This is quite shimmery and may not be to everyone’s taste but I absolutely love it. The swirls inside the product are very similar to the MAC Mineralise Skin Finishes. The only downside to this is the packaging the lid of mine came off which isn’t a massive issue but it does mean I can’t really travel with it. 

My last favourite I have mentioned quite a bit in the past month or so, it is the ELF Baked Blush in Pinktastic this is a really gorgeous champagne colour with pink veins running through it. This looks so pretty and I have been using this a lot lately and I am really enjoying it. I find that is really long lasting and even towards the end of the day I can still see it on my cheekbones. 

What is your favourite highlighter?

June Favourites 2014

Today I thought I would share with you all the products I have been loving throughout the of June.

Haircare

First up we have the Garnier Ultimate Blends Shampoo and Conditioner the one I have is for dry and dull hair and it has argan and camellia oils. This is a new haircare range launched by Garnier and it is paraben free. I really like this shampoo and conditioner, it leaves my hair feeling very soft and nourished. I like that they are paraben free, this is not something I usually look for in products as usually products that are paraben free are usually more expensive but this haircare range is really affordable at just under £4 each for the shampoo and conditioner. The also do a variety of different hair oils, dry shampoos and treatments and I like that this range has something for all hair types. 

Skincare

My first skincare favourite is the Garnier Pure Active Anti-Blackhead Deep Pore Wash. My skin had an annoying dry patch on my cheek and I tried many products but nothing seemed to clear it except this. It has some little beads in which really helped to exfoliate my skin. This face wash left my skin feeling very soft and I also noticed that my pores were slightly less visible. I have been really enjoying the L'Oreal Triple Active Day Moisturiser I find that this moisturiser is very hydrating. At first glance the cream looks quite thick but it feels very light on the skin and sinks into my skin very quickly. Unlike other moisturisers this one doesn't leave my skin feeling tacky at all. 

Makeup

This month I have rediscovered some old favourites. I'd forgotten about my Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze but this month I started using it again and it reminded me of how much I love it. It is perfect to use if you are in a rush and don't have much time to do a full eye makeup look but you still want a hint of colour on your lids. It also works really well as a base for other eyeshadows and it lasts all day. I love the colour of it and I think it is suitable for everyday wear. For the first half of the month I was enjoying using my Seventeen Back Lash Gel Eyeliner to line my upper lash line. I really like this eyeliner as it is a very pigmented black and it dries very quickly so I don't need to worry about it smudging. The only downside to it is that it can fade during the day. My next favourite does not have this problem though. For the second half of the month I have been using the Collection Work The Colour Eyeshadow Pencil in Midnight Glam. This is a black eyeshadow pencil but I have been using it has an eyeliner. This does not budge once you've applied it and it does not fade, it lasts all day. It has a slight shimmer to it so it adds a little something to your eye look. If you are looking for an eyeliner to line your upper lash line I really recommend this. Me next favourite is the Me Me Me Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink this is a cream highlighter which is similar to Benefit's Moonbeam. I really like this highlighter as it gives a really pretty glow to my cheeks and I think it is perfect for summer. My last favourite is a nail polish from Essie it is in the shade A Crewed Interest and it is a gorgeous peach shade that I wore pretty much everyday in June.

April Glossybox 2014

My April Glossybox arrived this week and I thought I would share with you what I got and what my impressions of the box as a whole were. I managed not to read any posts on this months box so it was truly a surprise when I opened it. I have ordered the products into which ones I liked the look of the most the first item is my favourite out of the box.

My favourite thing in the box was the Me Me Me Cosmetics Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink this is a cream highlighter that looks gorgeous when I swatched it. I've heard of this brand before but haven't actually tried anything from them so I am looking forward to giving this a go. I am a massive fan of highlighters but I have never tried a cream one before so it will be interesting to test it out.

Me Me Me Cosmetics Beat the Blues in Pearl Pink

£5.50 (this is the full size)

Get it here

20% off code Glossybox2014 (expires 30/04/2014)

My next favourite item was this body oil. I love the scent of it as it smells of ginger which will not be to everyone's tastes. On the card it says it can be  used in the bath so I am looking forward to giving this a try. I think I will use it on Sunday Pamper Evenings. I've noticed on the website that they do a vanilla scented one so if I like this I might get the vanilla one as that is my all time favourite scent. 

MONU Spa Warming Ginger Massage & Body Oil

£26 for 100ml (received a 30ml sample)

The next item is the Tresemme Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo I've only ever used Batiste dry shampoo so it will be interesting to give this a try. I like the Tresemme range so I should like this. 

Tresemme Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo

£4.99 for 200ml (received the travel size with 100ml)

Get it here

Next item is the SunSense Daily face SPF 50+ which will come in handy in the summer. I'm hoping that this won't be greasy as I find many SPFs are. I'm glad I got this over the tanning gel that I saw that some people got but I am not that excited about this product either. 

SunSense Daily face SPF 50+

£20.99 for 75g (received 10g)

25% off next purchase of Daily Face using code GLOSSY2014 

The last item is the Emite Makeup Lip Brush (L312) I am not super excited about this as I don't very often use lip brushes. Although this does feel like a good quality brush and I will definitely give it a try. I would have much preferred to receive an eyeshadow brush or face brush as I would have got more use from that. 

Emite Makeup Lip Brush (L312)

£17

Get it here

Over all I don't think that this box was as good as lasts months but there are still some great products in it that I am looking forward to trying.
