New month New Presenter Kit

October Already??

I can not believe that October is already here! Where has the time gone? I am not sure if I am ready for cold weather.....but one thing I am excited for is the new perks that come each month from Younique! With each new month comes a new presenters kit as well as a new Customer Kudos! So lets find out what they are!

October is the month that Younique officially started, it is also the anniversary of my decision to take a leap of faith and join a new direct sales company. When I joined as the 27th presenter I did so without seeing any product, or even seeing a website! I went to a meeting where I was able to meet Melanie Huscroft and hear the vision of Younique. I knew at that meeting that this company would take off and that I wanted to be a part of it. In the beginning a Younique Presenters Kit was designed to help you start your business, it contained business cards and product cards, but no products (we could not even buy the products for another month!) Oh how times have changed! The current presenters kit for October has little of everything!! Today a women (or man as I just had my first male join my team!) can take the same leap of faith to start their business for only $99! The October Kit contains:

A new month means a new Presenters kit! You can start your Younique Business for only $99 and receive:

41 testers (15 shimmer pigments, 15 matte pigments, 

5 blushers, 

6 concealers)

Eye brushes set

3D Fiber Lashes 

Presenter Guide

White status charm

PayQuicker Younique bank account

FREE website for 3 months ($10 after 3 months)

$25USD / $30CAD Younique cash on your Birthday annually

$10 Younique cash on the day of registration

10 catalogs

As an added bonus to celebrate both Younique's and my 1 year anniversary I will give you a Lucrative Lip Gloss of your choice when you join my team!! 

I would be happy to answer any questions you may have! I look forward to hearing from you!

Customer Review!

Today we have a customer review from "Laura", she says

" I have 4 mineral pigments and the fiber lashes and I love them all. It is so fun to put my makeup on every day because even with only 4 colors I can change my look and it is easy to go from a day to night 
look. The Fiber Lashes make my eyes pop and my lashes look full and beautiful."

I want to thank Laura for her review as well as for sharing her picture of her gorgeous eyes with us! They are amazing!

Younique Customer Review!

Customer Review!

Today I wanted to share a review of Younique Cosmetics that I recently received from Kim this is in her own words:

Before

I opted for a more subtle, natural look since I was wearing the makeup during the day.  (I used my own mineral foundation and my own mascara).

I applied the Face Primer first.  Fabulous concealer under the eye and on top of my eye lid.  Curious from lash line to brow, Confident on the lower lid, Glamorous in the crease and used a wet liner brush to apply Corrupted as a liner both upper and lower lash line.  Seductive blusher on the cheeks and a little Curious as a highlight color on the cheeks and again over the eyes & on the brow. 

After

What I LOVE about the products:  The pigments are so true and bold, a little really goes a long way!  I love true pigments in makeup.  Younique held up well all day long.  It did not crease or run, even in the Virginia humidity.  I really like that the colors are convertible, in that I can use them in different ways - blusher as eye shadow or on the lips, eye shadow as cheek highlighter, etc.  And that they can be applied wet or dry.  I prefer a powder-to-wet or cream eyeliner because it holds up better than pencil and is easier to blend.  The pigments blended together really well too.  With this mineral makeup you can start with a little and keep layering for a more dramatic look. I have super sensitive skin and have to be cautious what goes on my face and I had no issues with Younique makeup. 

A little critique:  I had to be careful when applying the eye colors because they did tend to flake off the brushes a bit and some landed on my cheeks which I had to blend away with a powder brush.  Not a big deal, just have to use a gentle touch with this type of texture mineral makeup. (This can be avoided by tapping the brush on the lid before applying to remove excess shadow from the brush)

I want to thank Kim for allowing me to share her review and her beautiful pictures with my readers. She did a great job! For her time and review Kim has been entered into a drawing for a free Younique mineral pigment of her choice! If you live in the US or Canada and would be interested in writing a review like this please contact me here and I will get in touch with you! This review promotion goes till the end of Sept so don't delay!

Are you ready for Football Season??

I live in a little town called Boise, ID and around here during football season it is better known as Bronco Nation! We love our BSU Broncos! When you go to the store or drive around town everyone is wearing blue and orange, every car has a BSU flag waving in the wind, it is awesome! My sons make wearing as much blue and orange into a sport in and of itself! Not to be outdone each and every game day I put on my jersey, my BSU earrings, and yes my blue and orange nail polish! Now that I have Younique Products I can now add the Blue and Orange to my eyes and even to my lips! So here it is my BSU Game Day Look!

• apply precocious in the outer V and to line the lower lid.
• brush Awestruck over the top of the Precocious to lighten it up and make it pop! 
• apply Giddy to the inner lid and blend into the blue 
• brush a little provoked over the Giddy to give it a little more of an orange feel. 
• blend Gorgeous over most of the lid and the inner lower lid. 
• I finished it all up with a little Sexy under the brow.

 I loved how this turned out! The best part was being able to apply the new lip gloss, Livid to finish it off.  It is such a beautiful golden orange color it just was the perfect touch! Now I am all ready to go to our football party and cheer on my Broncos!!

You can get all you Younique Products on my site! Thanks and GO BSU!

Lucrative Lip Gloss

Coming This Fall to Younique!

This coming Fall Younique Products will be releasing 5 new products! Today we get a sneak peak at on of them! Lip Gloss!! Younique does a fun thing where they give the presenters the opportunity to not only suggest what they want to sell, but they also let us name the new products! So I decided that I would make a contest out of this! For the next 3 days, until Sunday June 9, you can leave suggestions of what we should name our new colors of lip gloss. If the name you suggest is chosen by corporate I will give you a lipgloss of your choice when they are released this fall! The name should go along with our moodstruck collection, so the name should reflect a mood that you might experience! Ok??

This is my mom. I have always thought she was the most beautiful women in the world! She has been on a mission for our church for the last year so today was the first time I have had the opportunity to get my "Younique Hands" on her beautiful face! 

I was so excited to get started that I forgot to take a "before" picture so the upper left pic is with primer and concealer. Upper right with blusher and then the bottom is completed look.

She was blown away by how soft the Glorious Primer made her skin feel. She literally kept feeling her face! She also loved the blush, Seductive. She loved the color and was surprised how little you had to use to get a nice glow. When I told her that the blushers were $35 for 25gm she was amazed and said, "that will last me forever!"

To sum up our Younique Make-over...I think we have a new Younique Fan!!!

She looks amazing for being almost 70 years old!! Love you mom!!

Start to Finish I Love Younique!

I love Younique Cosmetic Products!

Before becoming an Independent Younique Presenter my makeup was usually what ever I could buy using a coupon at my local Walmart. I always wore makeup, but never really cared what the quality was and no looking back at some of my old photos.....well, lets just say you can tell! 

Since discovering the Younique business and experiencing the Younique products I am truly converted to these all natural products! Not only are they good for my skin, but I love the way they make me look and more importantly how I feel when I use them!

So today I thought I would show you my face, one layer at a time!

Completely clean face.

After applying Glorious Primer,
Fabulous Concealer &
Seductive Blusher

Finished off using Younique Pigments:
Regal, Sexy, and Devious
Followed by 3D Fiber Lashes.

I love how these Glorious Primer smooths out my skin, making all of those little wrinkles disappear. The concealers even out my imperfections  quirks.

The Blushers give my skin a healthy glow. (I also used it on my lips)

The pigments accentuate my blue eyes.

The 3D Fiber Lashes make my lashes stand out.

When I step out my door in the morning I feel beautiful!  I feel confident and empowered and it shows in how I carry myself and present myself to the world. To me this is what Younique is all about! Making women discover and embrace the YOUniqueness within!

Have you found the Youniqueness in you? Discover it today...cehck out my site! Please let me know if I can answer any questions about the products, hosting a Younique Virtual Party, or becoming a Younique Presenter!

The Other Half of Me

How is this for a look? Today I only did the makeup on half of my face for fun! I wanted to see what a difference my new Younique primer, concealer and blusher would make...I think the results speak for themselves! All I can say is that I LOVE the primer! As I said before the Glorious Primer feels like liquid silk on my skin! The Concealer (Fabulous) went on effortlessly with the new powder puff brush and the blusher has so much pigment to it that I think that 25 gm pot will last forever!! I also used the blush (Seductive) on my lips....well half of them.

But in the end I decided that people may look at me funny at my sons football game so I decided to finish my look on the other half of my face. I must say I love the Younique Products and I am so grateful that I found this company! Not only for my face, but for my wallet! I love selling products that I believe in!!!

What is in your Cosmetics? You really should find out!

I challenge you take a few minutes to do a little research on your favorite cosmetic products, go to the manufactures website and take a look at the list of ingredients. Does your eyeshadow, concealer or blusher use Talc? How about anything that ends with the word "paraben"? If they do you may want to throw them in the trash where they belong....Here is why:

What are Parabens?
Parabens are used as a preservative in many cosmetics. According to safecosmetics.org " Parabens are a group of compounds widely used as anti-microbial preservatives in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics products, including underarm deodorants. Parabens are absorbed through intact skin and through the gastrointestinal tract and blood. U.K. researchers found measurable concentrations of six different parabens in 20 human breast tumors. The study highlights the need for more research on the potential link between products containing parabens and increased breast cancer risk. " 

All Younique Products are Paraben Free! MAC and Mary Kay....Not so Much!

What about Talc?
Talc is commonly used in loose powders, blushes and eye shadows, in fact some use up to 50% talc because it is a cheap filler. The bad part is not that you are spending good money on cheap filler (Ok that is frustrating) the bad part is that talc has been linked to respiratory damage with long-term use.

All Younique Products are Talc Free! Youngblood, MAC, and Mary Kay can not say the same!

So that leaves Younique and Bare Minerals brands. Both are:

• Use Pure Minerals
• All-Natural
• Paraben Free
• Talc or Starch Free
• Preservative Free
• Oil Free

Now that we know the Quality of your cosmetics lets look at the quantity Vs Price!

This comparison uses Eye Shadows:

• Younique you get 5 gm for $10 each or 4 for $35 or 10 for $85 
• Bare Minerals you get .57 gm for $14......you saw that right .57 gm! You do not even get 1 full gm with Bare Minerals!

Lets break that down by the gram

• Younique is $1.50 - $2.00 per gram (depending on which set you buy)
• Bare Minerals is (prepare yourself) $24.56 per gram! OUCH!

If you use one of the cosmetics used in this comparison you owe it to yourself, you health, and your wallet to try Younique Products! Please check out my Younique site to purchase your new cosmetics today! Make sure to check out the Collections and Sets to save money when you bundle!

Younique is for all ages!

Timeless!

One of the things that I love about Younique is how all of our Natural products are really suitable for women of all ages, the young and the not so young! We have both shimmer shades and mattes shades so you can achieve the perfect look, no matter the age! This look was done by a fellow Younique Presenter on her mom, and I just love it! In fact I am looking forward to my mother returning from her year long mission so I can get my Younique hands on her beautiful face! So here is the "How to" for this great look! You will need the following Younique Products:

Confident

Curious

Sexy

Heart Broken

Eye Brush Set

3D Fiber Lashes

Step by Step

1. Apply Heart Broken wet from lash line to just above the crease using the Deluxe Brush on the lid in about 3/4, leaving the inner corner bare.
2. Using the Shader Brush apply Sexy to the inner corner then use it to blend over the heavy crease to soften the Heart Broken.
3. Using the Crease Brush apply Confident in the crease, angling it from outside to create a V shape at the outer corner of the eye.
4. Using the Liner Brush and water create a paste with Devious and apply it as a liner on top and lightly on the bottom lash.
5. Using the Shader Brush apply a touch or Curious under the brow.
6. Clean off the Shader Brush then use it to blend over any harsh lines.
7. Finish using 3D Fiber Lashes!

I hope you will try out this great look, it really looks beautiful on all ages! I would love to hear from you if you do! Also if you have any looks done with specific colors let me know!

 The Moodstruck Collection by Younique is the perfect way to have all you need for this look and many others! The $99 kit comes with the following:

• 4 Mineral Pigment Shadows of your choice (15 to choose from)
• Application Brush Set
• 3D Fiber Lashes
