Today, I'm going to be giving my Tried and True Review on a few things I picked up from Younique.
I knew of Younique as the company that had the insanely good mascara! Then I met Amanda, and was introduced to the world of Younique. She explained to me that all the products are made with natural ingredients and that if I'm not satisfied with what I've purchased, they will refund me 100% - no questions asked. They also have a foundation - not just the one for your face - that helps women affected by sexual abuse, which is something that a lot of us hold dear to our hearts.
Amanda is a shy girl from Northern Ontario that purchased the representative starter kit from Younique for her own personal use. She wasn't planning on selling the products to anyone but her immediate family and friends, because the thought of selling to strangers caused her to become anxious. Anyone who knows me, knows I'm the loudest, most annoying person in the whole wide world. I started talking to her at our kids' dance classes and learned so much about her and her younique adventure. She explained to me that she had just started out as a Younique Presenter and we talked about the MoodStruck Splash Liquid Lipstick she was wearing. We talked about how the staying power was decent and how it didn't kiss/wipe off easily...so she let me try it. I was able to wear the colour and take my puffers without the colour coming off on the mouthpiece...I was intrigued.
My first order consisted of the Moodstruck Epic Mascara, the Moodstruck Precision Pencil eyeliner in Perfect - Jet Black, the Moodstruck Splash Liquid Lipstick in Stellar - Beige Nude, as well as a pencil sharpener that works exceptionally well with plastic-barreled eyeliners. My entire order came to a little less than $100 and arrived within a week!
I've been using these new items for a little over a month now and so let's get into the review...
Lets start with the Moodstruck Epic Mascara. This mascara is the reason why I placed an order with Amanda. I had only tried this mascara one other time, and really enjoyed the length and volume the mascara gave my lashes.
My lashes didn't clump, they were just absolutely stunning! On days when I don't wear makeup, I'll put the mascara on, just to give my eyes a little oomph! I recommend this mascara to everyone looking for length, volume and stunning curl.
Next is the Moodstruck Precision Pencil eyeliner in Perfect - a true Jet Black. I'm not a fan of eyeliner, for the simple reason that I have extremely oily skin and have never - I mean NEVER - found an eyeliner that stays put, instead of running away from my eyes, making me look like a raccoon or a panda. Amanda suggested I try this eyeliner and of course, if I didn't enjoy it, to return for a full refund. What did I have to lose, right? This eyeliner surprised me. I thought it was going to run off my face like everything else I've tried, but it stayed put...all day! I was able to use it on my upper and lower lash lines, as well as my waterline. This is now my go-to eyeliner only because I no longer have to re-apply midday and I don't have to wipe away the runaways.
Thirdly, I tried the Moodstruck Splash Liquid Lipstick in Stellar - a beautiful Nude Beige shade. This colour is great for everyone. I wasn't as impressed with this Splash, because it didn't have the same staying power as the Superior Splash that Amanda let me try at dance class. It comes off on my coffee cup and my puffer chamber, but not as badly as other lipsticks. I'm assuming it has a different formula than the Superior, as Stellar is not metallic or shiny, but more matte. I will try this again, but maybe in a metallic formula, because the staying power WAS amazing.
