Today's Look- Precocious and Dignified

I have always had very blue eyes, eyes that have gotten noticed and complimented many times, but that does not stop me from wanting to bring them out even more!! Today is one of those days when I need all the help I can get to feel good....my home town has been stuck in an inversion for weeks....If you have never been in an inversion imagine being stuck under clouds that are dull and gloomy...imagine not seeing the sun....for weeks! I am in such a winter blues funk!! So I decided to take the "blues" to my eyes and see if I can go fishing for some compliments at walmart! So now that you have seen the look lets talk about how I made it!

First I used the Deluxe Brush to covered from the crease down to the lash line with this beautiful shimmer green called Dignified! I applied it using Refreshed Rose Water, this makes the color more intense and also makes the pigment have a creamy texture.

Next I used the Crease Brush to apply Precocious, which is a matte pigment, to the outer V of the eye and slightly above the crease on the outer corners of the eye. I also used this color to smudge below my lower lash line.

Next I applied Curious, a shimmer white pigment, dry using the shader brush. First I applied it under the brow then blended it from the inner eye out to soften the lines of the darker colors. I also used it to highlight the inner corner or the eye.

Next I used the liner brush that I had dipped into the Refreshed Rose Water and then the Devious shimmer pigment. I mix this to create a creamy "paste" and then line line my eyes.

I finished the eye by applying our amazing 3D Fiber Lash Mascara, after all no look is complete until you add length and volume to your natural lashes using this magic mascara!!

Now that I am done up for the day I guess it is time to get out of the house with my little man and see if anyone notices! Wish me luck!!

If you would like to learn more about any of these great Younique Products or in becoming a Younique Presenter like me just ask. I love to share!

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!

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!

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!

Great Look for Blue Eyes!

Todays Look

Today I did a new look and I must say that I really like it! I love the soft colors and how it makes my blue eyes POP! What do you think?

To do this look you will need the following products by Younique:

Confident

Sassy

Playful

Devious

Sexy

Younique Brush Set

Younique 3D Fiber Lashes

1.  First I took the Deluxe Brush and got it slightly damp and mixed it will a little Confident then applied it to the outer corner of the eye from the lash line up about 3/4 of the lid. I then brushed it lightly over the crease and down below the lower lash.
2. After washing the brush, again slightly damp I applied Sassy  to the middle of lid, from lash up about 3/4, and blended into the Confident and over the crease.
3. Again, wash the Deluxe brush and use the damp brush to apply Playful to the inner corner of the lid then along the lower lash line.
4. Using the Shader brush apply Sexy just below the brow to blend and soften the shadow line.
5. Using the Liner brush add a small amount of water to Devious to make a paste and line your eye along the lash line of the top lid and the water line of the bottom lid.
6. Finish the look using 3D Fiber Lashes.

This is a quick look that I think looks great for day or night. I hope you will try it and let me know what you think!
