#BeYou - Younique MakeUp

Since I earned some fabulous hostess rewards after holding a Younique 10 day online party with my girl Jonna, I chose to order the Singular Sensation Collection!  It included a better than expected travel case, which I surprisingly love due to its shape.  Usually I give away the free bags that come with things, but this one was like an extra present when it arrived!  It's large enough to hold my eye shadow pallets while traveling, but not so deep that everything will get shifted and break.  The other best part of its shape is the depth.  It's a shallow bag so I can line up all my products, instead of digging around a bottomless pit of a bag, while already late to go out, making noise while my boyfriend is trying to sleep.  Oh, and it has a handle on the top!   There are 2 zippered sections, so I can store my long brushes flat in the upper compartment!  No more powder from my brushes all over everything in the bag!
Within the bag, the Moodstruck 3D Fiberlash mascara kit was included, and as for the other products, I was able to choose my color preferences and here is what I chose!
Moodstruck Mineral Pigment Powder - For Eyes in Flirty
Moodstruck Precision Pencils - For Eyes in Perfect
Moodstruck Precision Pencils - For Lips in Pouty
Touch Cream Foundation in Velour
Lucrative Lipgloss in Loveable

Younique  Singular Sensation Collection

The collection was perfect for me, since I was new to the brand and wanted to try a little of everything.  A few colors were so popular, they were back ordered, but the first shipment arrived quickly after my party closed, and some friends who ordered first received their orders before my 10 day party was even finished!  Each week I got a box with another back ordered product, which made it kind of fun that the gifts continued coming!
(the top swatches are the eye mineral pigment Flirty wet first, then dry)

The mineral pigment for my eyes was what I could not wait to try!  I had a hard time narrowing down which colors I wanted since I had 3 tied for musthaves, but ultimately went with Flirty.  I chose the metallic lavender color because I had a few deeper purples I knew I could use it with.


Left is just the Younique mineral pigment in Flirty, and Precision eyeliner. 
Right also has my pre-owned other purples as well as a liquid eye liner.
Both photos show the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiberlash I love so much!

I am new to cream foundations, blushes, etc.  I don't use them in cream form, so this was a first.  I found applying the Touch Cream Foundation in Velour using my fingers was the best way to blend without pulling the skin too much.  I prefer full coverage, but I will be reaching for this often when going out and about to run errands and to the office for work.  The coverage was nice for simple daily wear, and the color suited my pale complexion.

The Precision Pencil in Perfect was not pigmented enough for my waterlines, and gave fair coverage over the eye pigment, but I prefer the crisp black look of a liquid liner.  For subtly, it worked well but not the sharp look I prefer for long wear.

The Precision Pencil in Pout was deceiving, in a good way!  It ended up matching my natural lip! It will be used to prevent feathering and maybe even to overdraw my upper lip to create a plumper look, which I keep wanting to try!  I was very happy with this, when initially wasn't happy with the color options I was given.

The Lovable lip gloss has a mirror on the side which is very smart, considering the amount of places us girls 'reapply' with no way to double check our work!  the color was subtle and definitely to my taste of a natural youthful pink lip.

The arrival of the mineral pigment was highly anticipated by me!  I like Mac's pigments, and now love Younique's!  The fallout after applying was minimal, the color exceptional! I am very pleased!  I want more colors!  (Curious, Awestruck, Heartbroken, Daring, Fiesty, and the matte color Naive)

The collection also came with a Moodstruck 3D Fiberlash mascara kit, which I now can sleep well knowing I have a backup.  I can't dress up or go for a night on the town without it.  Who am I kidding, I wear it to brunch with the girls too.  Staple item for sure!

I give Younique a thumbs up!

Youniques mission is to empower women and provide high self-esteem, as well as offering opportunities for personal growth and financial reward.  I am NOT a Younique rep, but because their products are naturally made, I have a fondness for Younique.
