Review: Lovely ME:EX Makeup Base!

Now, let me start off by saying, I bought this & the back of it says "The Face Shop" which is normally where this brand would be purchased, I did not purchase from there. I purchased this from Korea. I am almost positive that this is considered a replica because of the appearance BUT I only paid $1.99 shipped for it & here is what I think...

It comes in a nice 40mL tube which is easy to handle and you don't have to force the product out, barely squeeze it and the product comes out slow and smooth so I didn't make a mess by getting to much. The initial sight of it was a little scary...the product is actually purple! I was under the assumption the product would be like a light skin tone color but it's not, it's more of a lilac/lavender color.

 As you can see I tested it out on my hand & actually when blended in the purple disappears and leaves a smooth natural looking shade. This stuff is SO soft. I couldn't believe how soft it made just the top of my hand feel! Especially for the price because I honestly wasn't expecting much. It's kind of one of those things you can't pass up the chance of it being an awesome product when it was that cheap! Anyways, it also DOES have a scent. The scent actually isn't bad at all. It reminds me of some sort of floral scent, if you have ever tried any of the AMUSE cosmetics some of them have a certain smell to them and that's almost exactly what it smells like except lighter. Not bad at all. If you don't do well with scented products then I for sure recommend you don't get this one!

The coverage of it is fairly good, it could be better. I of course still wore my foundation over it but I still needed some concealer in certain areas and over blemishes. I have VERY red cheeks and I was surprised that it even covered the redness as well as it did. I didn't need to use a whole lot of the product because it's one of those where you think you don't have enough but you actually have plenty. I let it dry a little bit before applying my foundation. 

The picture above is my hand BEFORE I had applied the base.

 This is AFTER I applied it and BEFORE my foundation...There is a noticeable difference as you can see it did even out the redness and put some coverage over the veins. 

I didn't experience any dryness nor did it give me an oily feeling. As for my face...it actually did an awesome job at keeping my makeup nice and smooth and it STAYED ON! 

All in all, for the price I DEFINITELY would recommend it if you are looking for a nice base. As stated though I do believe it may be a replica of the BB cream the brand makes. If sensitive to chemicals, scents, etc I would recommend not purchasing or contacting the seller to see what other information you can get on it because the information on the back is NOT in English. I WILL continue to purchase this product :)
