There is something special about brushing light pink powder across my cheeks and jet black mascara through my lashes.
I have always been a very girly girl with a love for getting dressed up and wearing makeup. Even if I am exhausted or ill or have a case of the Mondays, a little makeup can brighten my day.
December 2015 was the first time that I was introduced to Younique. Watching videos on Younique makeup had me intrigued, and I decided to place an order.
After chatting to a fabulous presenter, I ordered the Girls Night Out collection and also received several sample items. The Girls Night Out collection came with all the items listed to the right. It was a perfect way to try the Younique brand of all the essential makeup items that I use. The best part was that I was able to find colors very similar to ones that I was using from different companies, and many of the items from Younique were at a better price point.I was in love.
The makeup felt very ME.
The picture below is from right after I received my collection. I was a tired mommy with a 6 month old, but a little makeup had me feeling fabulous. The 3D fiber lashes were perfect for drawing attention to my favorite feature – my eyes. The concealer (I had received a sample) and the foundation (both the cream from my kit and the liquid sample) made my skin look flawless.
One of my favorite items was the lipstick. I love the color of the lipstick – Conceited. Just the name had me sold because I have always jokingly called myself conceited. I don’t think that always has to be a negative term. Everyone should love themselves! Ever since MAC stopped carrying Viva Glam Nicki, I was always looking for a substitute. I just love bright pink lips. I tried out Chanel 94 Extatique, but I wasn’t in love. Then I found NYX Pink Lyric. That was my go-to lipstick for a while, but the Younique Opulence Lipstick Conceited won a special place in my heart.
Another MUST HAVE makeup item for me is blush.
I feel like it makes me look alive, and I like having bubblegum pink cheeks. I used Chanel for a long time now, but I wanted to different brands.
Younique hit every check mark for me. It was also the first the I really used cream eyeshadow. I immediately loved the color, vibrancy, and all day stay characteristics of the splurge eyeshadow. I had purchased it in December, and I still had plenty left months later, even with daily use.
When it was time to replenish my makeup stash, I made the decision to get the presenter kit.
Besides the items that come with the kit, I also placed an additional order of the Conceited lipstick, full size portions of the concealer and foundation, and more splurge eyeshadows.
When I first ordered the kit, I didn’t know if I would be using Younique makeup long-term. But, I really fell in love with the makeup, and I am still using it two years later.
What’s your favorite makeup?
XOXO.
