Me Me Me Beat the Blues Illuminator in Moon Beam



I was sent this product by a very good PR recently (she sent me a couple of products in colours I might be interested in.)

Me Me Me is stocked in Superdrug, and this illuminator/enhancer costs £4.40 for 12ml. The packaging is like a nail polish bottle, with a nail polish type of brush. Moon Beam is a pale pink shimmer, which is very sheer, and so forgiving to apply.

...BUT...Yo, Me Me Me, I'm happy for you, and I'm gonna let you finish, but Rouge Bunny Rouge has one of the best illuminators of all time. All time...

Oh dear, please do excuse me, I just had a Kanye moment. It's true though - I would rather have my Rouge Bunny Rouge Highlighting Liquid or a Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector, but the Me Me Me does cost £5 rather than £45 or £32.  The Me Me Me is more liquid and so does not give as much of an illuminating effect. I think if you wanted to dip your toe into the world of illuminators without too much initial capital expenditure (or if you just don't want to spend that much, full stop), this would be a great way to try one.  I do prefer this to the Benefit highlighters, which are a bit too glittery and obviously shimmery for me. I'm also very pleasantly surprised to see that this is made in England.

  1. I picked up the Moon Beam and Sun Beam at the beginning of August and for what they cost, I really like them!

  2. I would still try this even though I have the RBR one as this looks far more portable!!

  3. I've been very curious about these as they look so like the Benefit products. The price is very appealing for sure! Might have to try my hand at these.
    Oh and BTW, laughed very loudly at the Kanye.

  5. Hi Soph - These are v good for the price. I think these are also a good choice if you want to mix with a foundation/tinted moisturiser for a glowy look - the sheerness would work well for that. x

    Hi Tali - it's more portable, for sure. x

    Hi Eliza - I prefer this to the Benefit finish, so it's worth having a look if you're in Superdrug. Thanks for visiting my blog. x

    Hello Mizzworthy - guest reviewers, what can you do? ;) It is definitely nice to see what else is out there. x
