Product Review: MeMeMe Shimmer Stack!

Happy March Beauties!

Today, I'll be reviewing the MeMeMe cosmetics, Shimmer Stack in Bronze, which is hailed to be a dupe for the iconic Shimmer Brick from Bobbi Brown which sells for a staggering 30 euro more than the MeMeMe version (MeMeMe = 12.50, Bobbi Brown = 42.50). MAC and Inglot have been following suit with their versions of this handy multi-purpose product, with Inglot's contribution retailing at 22euro (AMC Multicolour System Highlighting Powder in shade 84). This product can be bought online on the MeMeMe website here. Or, it can be bought in any good pharmacy nationwide!

While most of us will be familiar with MeMeMe cosmetics, there is some corners where this brand has not reached, so fear not - I'm here to give you the low-down on one of this brands hottest products, so read on to see how I got on with it!

This product is definitely multi-use, firstly you can concentrate your brush on the darker browns, and use it as a bronzer, or swish your brush through all the colours to use a shimmery powder for the face (especially the cheekbones!) and décolletage. Secondly, each individual colour can be used as an eyeshadow, and finally the lighter colours can be used as a highlighter on your brow bone, cupids bows, cheeks and inner eye. The fact that this product covers a wide range of functions makes this perfect for anyone travelling, or even just to have in your handbag as an emergency - it's perfect since it's so compact!

However, you would want to be careful if you'll be carrying it around with you everyday, seeing as compacts are prone to breaking, and leaving your handbag (and contents!) in a not-so-beautiful shimmery mess. and that glittery shimmer gets everywhere! Another pro of this product is the large mirror in the palette, great for those on the go touch ups. Though this product isn't the most pigmented I've come across, it is easy to build up to the intensity that you like, or else if you use a damp eyeshadow brush, the colours come up more intense which is handy if you don't have time/patience to build it up. All in all, this is a product that I would recommend in buying if you're just starting your make-up collection, or wanting to expand. That being said, if your an experienced make-up user but don't have many highlighters or bronzers in your collection, I would definitely recommend buying this one - you won't be disappointed! This is the kind of product that gets you super excited for summer!

This also comes in different colours; gold and pink. While, I like the idea of the pink one, I didn't think that the gold one was pigmented enough when I swatched it in the shop.. Here's an everyday make-up look I did using the Shimmer Stack in Bronze as an eyeshadow, bronzer and highlighter:

Hope you found this review helpful, and thanks for reading! :) Later in the week, I'll be reviewing two more of MeMeMe's bestselling products that I recently picked up; 1. Eye Inspire Catwalk Quad Collection in 'Goddess Eyes' and 2. Blush Me! Blush Box in 'Coral' - which upon first swatch is a potential dupe for Benefit's 'Coralista'!

Love,
Becca.
