Review Detail

Mememe Boho Balm has been a resident of my purse (thanks to the Beauty on Trial team) for barely a week but it has already managed to warm its way into my heart. The old as hills life hack of introducing a bit of rouge onto the cheeks by using a proper-coloured lipstick (which I had been once taught by my mom) has been put to advantage in this cheek and lip tint. It indeed provides for velvety either coral or taupe shade of the cheeks or lips, two colours can be easily mixed to get a new tinge. The texture is not heavy and is felt as a light cream on the cheekbones. The colour on the lips is buildable - but not very saturated i.e. ensuring a natural look. The packaging with floral design is very durable and can be sealed very tight which poses a challenge to open the balm sometimes (on the bright side - one does not have to worry that it accidentally opens inside a purse and will be damaged itself or smudge something there). The balm is moderately priced - another 'pro' for its purchase. It has a pleasant odour (tasty I would say), yet has virtually no taste. It lasts very long on the cheeks and has an average longevity on the lips (however, no easy transfer). If you have dried lips this balm will not help to cover them, rather on the contrary. Perhaps other major downside of the balm is the way it should be applied - one will definitely need a brush (and it should be kept somewhere as well) or clean fingers (to be washed as well afterwards). This may be tricky to do on-the-go. In all other respects - it is a wonderful multi-task beauty item that may become a make-up saver in many situations.
