Makeup is LOVE

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.

First Younique Purchase

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.

Dec 2015 – Mommy of a 6 month old!

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.

Loving my eye makeup

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.

imageWhen 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.
