Make Me Lovely Cream (aka Meng-vely Cream) delivers covetable coverage that looks natural and makes your skin look positively smooth, radiant, and wrinkle and blemish-free. It features a pinkish base color that brightens skin instantly and whitening active ingredients like Niacinamide that lighten skin naturally over time.

Plus, it's enriched with Peach and Licorice Extracts, Ginseng Root, and other lovely ingredients that nourish and refresh your skin.
HOW TO USE
After basic skincare, apply an adequate amount of the cream all over face. Pat for better absorption. Apply additional layers for fuller coverage.

THOUGHTS
April 7th, 2017: I am not a fan. This peachy pink cream, which smells like ginseng, does none of the things that it claims to do in the description: "Make Me Lovely Cream (aka Meng-vely Cream) delivers covetable coverage that looks natural and makes your skin look positively smooth, radiant, and wrinkle and blemish-free."
Let's break it down...
Flawless/Covetable Coverage (that looks natural): Not sure exactly what they mean by covetable coverage, but there was no coverage whatsoever so yes your skin does look natural...as in it looks pretty much the exact same as before (except a tiny bit worse) and didn't look like I had put anything on.
Smooth: Nope, if you have dry skin you will not like this. This will cling to and accentuate any dry patches...which is why I said this makes you look natural, but a tiny bit worse above. Does nothing for your pores either.
Radiant: Nope, unless you count the very slight white-cast...or rather white-ish peachy-pink cast this gives, which is very subtle and barely noticeable except where it has clung to the dry patches. I feel like if you have darker skin then me though the white-cast would be worse and more noticeable, but for me it just kind of tries to change my natural yellow undertone to one that is pink.
Wrinkle-Free: This does nothing to smooth your skin, so this won't do anything for your wrinkles either if you have them. The wrinkles starting to form on my forehead looked the exact same as it did before I put this on.
Blemish-Free: Like I mentioned above, this has no coverage whatsoever. I wouldn't even say this has sheer coverage, so no...unless you have naturally flawless skin to begin with, your complexion will not be blemish-free. If anything this will cling to and kind of bunch up around your acne to accentuate it.
I don't know what the point of this cream is. Is it a BB? A primer? Tinted moisturizer? Glowtion? What is it? It has no coverage, it doesn't blur pores, it doesn't give you a healthy radiant glow, it's not hydrating, doesn't give you a better canvas for makeup to apply better, etc...I was hoping it did all the wonderful things that it claims to do in the description, but as you can see above, it did none of those things.
Right now my skin is still dry (from my two week skincare hiatus) so I can't attest to whether or not it absorbs sebum and fights greasy shine, but judging from how dry the cream is and the powder-like finish it gives, I'm inclined to guess that that is the one thing that it probably does do...so if you have oily skin then maybe you might like this better? However, if you have dry skin then I would say stay away. I will definitely be returning this back to Memebox.
