'Younique' Products













My friend Charlotte was kind enough to recently offer me the chance at trying out some of the many products that Younique offer. Charlotte sells the products through her very own e-commerce store, like many other Younique Presenters and picked out her top five products for myself to try and review. 

Younique has a mission to 'uplift, empower, validate, and ultimately build self-esteem in women around the world through high-quality products that encourage both inner and outer beauty...' 

Moodstruck Addiction Shadow Palette Number 3
I love the colours in this palette, it is versatile and perfect for creating both a day time and night time look. With three shimmers and four mattes you can create a simple and light look or a more intense smokey eye. I found that the shimmer shades were more pigmented than the mattes, but that being said, the colour when using these can be easily built up to get your desired look. The shadows blend out really well and I find that the black matte shade is great to use as eyeliner too. 

Liner/Shader Brush
The perfect partner for any of the eyshadow palettes, I was able to apply the shadows and blend them out perfectly with this double ended brush, and the liner end was great for applying the black matte shade in the palette along my upper lash line to create a winged look.  Precision Brow Liner
This is in my top three favourites of all the products I have tried, it is so easy to use and glides on so effortlessly. I chose to use the medium brown shade, however I had to mix it with a brow product I already own as unfortunately the shade was too much of a brick brown shade to be a perfect match for myself, but the actual product itself definitely rivals benefits brow products. This product also has a spooly on the end to comb through your brow hairs beforehand. 

Royalty Detoxifying Mask
This face mask looks a bit daunting to use at first due to it's charcoal black colour, however once I had got over that, I applied it and felt it working straight away. This is best applied with a spoon or a spatula, as once the product touches the skin it gets to work immediately, bubbling on the surface. The mask is recommended to be used three times a week, which I did my best to stick to. After the first use, it did break me out a little bit, but this tends to happen often when trying out new skincare products, and after a few more uses I started to notice the effects and a clear difference to my skin. In the mornings my skin appeared brighter, my blemishes were clearing up, and overall the redness was reduced. This is a bamboo charcoal mask, that aims to absorb toxins and impurities as well as giving oxygen to your skin through the foaming sensation it creates. Due to it's exfoliating properties, this mask removes dead skin cells, and as it contains tree oils and vitamins, your skin is left nourished and brighter. 

Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+
Now this product really intrigued me. It claims to increase your average lash volume and speaking to others, this product definitely works for so many people. It makes lashes look long and thick but unfortunately it did not do anything too dramatically different to my lashes, however my lashes are so temperamental and nothing ever really seems to make any impact on mine.  When I used this with my own mascara there was more of a difference, and for a light coating of mascara or a simple make up look, where I am not too bothered about the look of my lashes then this is fine for that. I would still recommend this, it is different from anything I have tried before and I know that it works wonders for so many people. This comes in a chic case with two different containers inside; the transplanting gel and the 3D fibers. I applied a coat of my own mascara, before applying the transplanting gel which contains collagen which is the success of the 3D Fiber lashes application. The application of this gel is what helps the fiber lashes to stick to the natural lashes. Take the tube with the natural fibers and swipe them over the gel, they attach themselves to your natural lashes to give volume, length and thickness. Put another coat of the transplanting gel on top to tame any clumping, though I found this to be a very minimal amount. This second coating helps the fibers to stay secure and in place. I love that this is waterproof but easily removable just like any other mascara. 

The prices of all these products are affordable and acceptable for what you are paying for and all their products are available to purchase and browse online, head to https://www.youniqueproducts.com/charlottedunn to check them out! 

I really enjoyed trying out these products and would once again like to thank my friend Charlotte for introducing me to them!
