Younique Makeup Review

What a mother fucker.

Seriously.

But wait, that’s just my opinion. Let me convince you.

My sister decided she wanted to try out selling Younique and that was cool. I was excited that I would be able to play with new makeup. I LOVE NEW MAKEUP.

After we both got pretty damn stoked on it she ordered her start up kit for $100 and signed up to be a Independent Younique Presenter. Ok, whatever, every direct sales makeup line has a name for it’s sales team. NEW MAKEUP.

I finally sat down and put it on. On one eye. I wanted to see how it stood up to my beloved Sephora. I have their Color Anthology kit and I fucking love it. It is the meat and potatoes of my makeup collection.

I used a purple. So I picked out from Younique the closest light, medium, and dark purple color to compare it to Sephora. I don’t have color names for either of these, so tough titties. I also used their 3D lashes on one eye, THREE LAYERS, and my revlon photoready and an eyelash curler on the others.

I had to use a ridiculous amount of Younique to actually compare to the richness of ONE SWIPE of my Sephora. Younique is loose powder, Sephora is pressed powder. Also the 3D lashes tried to blind me. I’m pretty sure the “fluff” scratched my eyeball. I’ve been wearing mascara for 16 years, this isn’t my first rodeo.

Please forgive the mixed lighting and quality of photo’s. I used everything at my disposal to give you a first hand look at the comparison.

Can you tell a difference? I can’t. My sister couldn’t. My mother couldn’t. WHERE ARE MY 3D HOOKER EYELASHES?!

I’m pretty disappointed. Especially considering the amount of pigment I had to use from Younique vs Sephora. Younique is supposed to be pigment ONLY, but it went on light and was a pain in my ass to blend. A PAIN. Blending is supposed to be easy and smooth. Especially when you’re paying out the ass for a pot of pigment.

Oh yeah, and the 3D Lashes? It’s not mascara. I still had to use my OWN mascara. It should be an “Eyelash Enhancer.” I guess. It sure as fuck didn’t enhance mine.

 

 

Ignore the retarded look. I was trying to show off the eyelid. Also I have bad skin, who knew.

As you can see, it’s pretty fucking comparable.

BUT WAIT. WHATS THIS? The one on the right has a richer color?!

That’s because it’s fucking Sephora.

Mother. Fucking. Sephora.

Look that’s my whole face. I used their blusher for lip color. I mixed it with chapstick. I don’t know, I was experimenting. But there’s the whole look again.

EVERY PICTURE HAS SEPHORA ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

The Younique is on the side my hair is parted, in case you don’t know left from right. Yes, that’s where my saggy eye lid is, get over it.

Moral of the story? Don’t waste your money. Don’t get sucked into their pyramid scheme. Buy Sephora because it’s amazing and fair priced. Or if you’re rich, get MAC. It’s even more awesome.

And worth the money.

Silly Rabbit

I feel like a silly rabbit right now. I’ve been scratching my head for days, trying to figure out something fun to do.

I have lots of hobbies! I swear!

Except I’m sick of all of them. I primed old canvases to start painting, I broke out sketch pads. Nothing. I couldn’t force a single damn thing.

The weather hasn’t been agreeable enough to make me go outside and spin poi.

The ukulele kills my fingers and I just can’t be bothered into doing it enough to gain caluses. I know. LAZY.

The horse I’m taking over still has sore feet so I can’t do much with her. Also the weather… is sucky.

Photography? That’d be perfect! If I could find my camera charger. Anyone have a spare canon battery charger..? Email me!

So what did I finally decide to do today after a WEEK of being manic depressed/bored/lonely? Hook up my PC. I’m 100% entertained and happy to have something to do. My blog!

What a fantastic indoor, nerd-out, mind numbing hobby. I feel silly for not doing it earlier. Like the first day I moved into this place.

I’m fighting with the resolution. I have my PC set up in the living room hooked up to my flat screen.. and everything is great! Except I can’t read the text for shit. Every adjustment I make to the text seems to throw the whole resolution off. So it’s all or nothing. Good thing I don’t have to look at my fingers while I type and that red squigly line lets me know if I do any misspelling.

Hooray.

Goodbye 365 Project, Hello Weekly Photo

Okay, so, this morning while sipping on my morning rockstar (classy right?), I was reading through my RSS feeds and decided to take a glance at my feed of Daily Post @ WordPress. Hoping to find some inspiration as I’ve been feeling rather unmotivated to really do anything EPIC AND AWESOMEPOSSUM with my blog.

So today their post was Weekly Photo Challenge: Refuge. Heck yeah. I’m definitely game for a weekly photo challenge. That sounds FUN. And it’s themed? Hell yeah. I think one of the reasons I would always forget to take a photo for 365 was that I just wasn’t doing anything with my day. I mean this week all I’ve done is sleep and work. Yeah lets take photo’s of that. o_O.

Not exciting.

So I’m going to continue using the same picasaweb folder, except that I’m going to end it where it is as far as 365 and start using it for Weekly Photo Challenge. I think this will be good for me, and a nice way to continue showcasing photo’s on here without it being completely helter skelter.

Thoughts?
