Hello there;
After my recent trip to Birmingham to attend the Fabb Event, which you can read all about here. I was spoilt rotten by the wonderful people behind MeMeMe. One of the items that took my immediate interest was the Shimmer Stack.
I have never really been one for highlighters until a few months ago, so I really am new to this game. Upon opening this I can straight away say I am really impressed with the packaging that this comes in. I love the detail on the actual box, it make it looks very chic. There is nothing wrong with a plain black box, but I love the little added touch of a design on the front. The box is also very sturdy, no flimsy packaging here.
Inside there is a massive mirror too, which for any beauty enthusiast is a huge bonus. A girl can never have too many mirrors.
I simply adore the colours that are in the palette! Could you call it a palette? Box? Thing? Either way, they are gorgeous colours. Even though I am going to use this as a highlighter, these colours could easily be used as a eyeshadow. How travel friendly does one product want to be?
The colours on there own are so creamy as a lot more pigmented than I was expecting. The bottom colour is a little more shimmery than I would usually wear, but other than that the other colours have the slight shimmer that I am usually drawn too. If like me, you have already spotted that this is a pretty close dupe to the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick in Beige. I think the biggest difference are the prices where the Bobbi Brown retails for £32.50. The MeMeMe retails for £9.25. I have never used a Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, so sadly I cannot do a comparison. But from looking at photos, they look SO similar.
Above is the stack swatched by mixing up the colours. I adore the golden glow that this is able to give you. Its not a very over powering glow either, very subtle. It really lifts your cheek bones giving you an automatic face lift, without the pain. Bonus right?! All in all I am a huge fan of this shimmer stack and I am defiantly going to get the others in the set.
If you are also a fan of this gorgeous shimmer stack, the ever so lovely Tia from MeMeMe Cosmetics has given me a unique code for myself and my readers to get 25% off the entire range, using the code "mememe25". This offer is running until the 30th November 2014!

Love this kind of shimmer brick highlighter as you could always use the shades as eyeshadows also like you mentioned. The colours blended together look lovely in the swatch x
