Being Closed Minded Will Cost You A TON


Nothing is more #expensive than a closed mind, and a missed #opportunity...

10 years ago, a student at #Harvard invited 5 people over to his dorm room to discuss a #business opportunity. Only 2 of the 5 people showed up...

They liked what they saw, and got involved.

Today those two people are #billionaires: Dustin #Moskovitz $6.5 Billion and Eduardo #Saverin $3.4 Billion... and the guy they met that night? None other than Mark #Zuckerberg, #CEO of #Facebook.

I wonder what it must be like to be the other 3 people who were invited to that same meeting, but chose not to attend, whether it be because they assumed it wasn't for them... or that something else that day was more important.

If you want something you've never had... then you've got to DO SOMETHING you've never DONE!

Look up the #statistics in direct selling and you will not see anyone reach #millionaire status in a year and a half EXCEPT for #Younique. We had our first millionaire in #November and I will bet we will have a minimum of 5 more this year [2015] - all under 2 years! 

 Don't be those 3 who never showed up for the meeting.

Younique: 6 New Products and 2 New Countries JUST ANNOUNCED


Who’s been waiting (for what seems like forever) to find out Younique’s Big Announcement? My team and I have been SO excited about this huge announcement and have been going back and forth as to what it could be. The only facts that we have known so far is that Younique will be launching 6 brand new products for the spring AND will be opening new markets. While it’s been so much fun these past couple of weeks to guess what new products and countries that Younique will be launching into, I’m so happy to finally know all of the details! And, of course, I couldn’t wait to share the good news with all of you, too, so let’s just get right into it!

First, take a moment to watch the video recorded by the Founder and CEO of Younique, Derek Maxfield and co-founder of Younique, Melanie Huscroft:

 
 
1. Blending Buds

The blending buds are definitely something to get excited about. The blending buds were the January Kudos for parties over 5000 points. Each set includes a purple and pink blending bud. The purple blending bud is larger in size and is perfect for contouring, while the pink blending bud is smaller and makes highlighting a breeze!
Both blending buds are made out of Styrene-Butadiene Rubber. They are not latex-free. One of my favorite things about the Blending Buds is that both can be used with wet or dry products. Younique really knocked it out of the park with these blending buds because putting on foundation will be so much easier now!
 
The regular price of Blending Buds (set of 2) will be: $25 US, $30 CA, $33 AU, $35 NZ, £20 UK.
 
2. Stiff Upper Lip – Lip Stain

Guess what’s back? In November, Younique released this Stiff Upper Lip lip stain as an exclusive product for the November Kudos and it was in hot demand as everyone wanted to get their hands on it! I earned three lip stains and kept them all for myself. My mom asked me for one of mine, as did I love this Stiff Upper Lip Stain and I know that it’s going to be a very popular product, as Younique presenters have been begging for it to be a permanent staple in Younique’s inventory since it’s temporary release in November.

So, what’s so great about this lip stain? For starters, it truly is long lasting. If you apply it in the morning, it will still be there through lunch and dinner. For all of you that like to drink tons of water throughout the day, this is definitely right up your alley because the lip stain will not come off on your glass when you take a drink.

The seven (7) different lip stain colors will compliment every skin tone and you will fall in love with this amazing product!

3. Beachfront Bronzer

Who doesn’t love a good bronzer?! Bronzer is such a popular item in the makeup world.  Let’s face it: Everyone looks a little better when they are tan and look like they’ve been kissed by the sun.
No look is complete, in my opinion, without bronzer, especially in the spring and summer months!
A little Beachfront Bronzer on the sun-kissed spots of your face gives you a wonderful glow to last throughout the day.

4. Pressed Blush

This product was not mentioned in the above video, but it is coming out in early 2015 so I wanted to include it in this list of new products.

I find that it’s easier to work with pressed blush instead of loose blush any day of the week, so I can’t wait for this new product!  (I might be guilty of apply too much loose blush to my cheeks and looking like I’ve gotten a bad sunburn, which isn’t a good look to have. Ha!)

The shades of blush will stay the same as they’ve been in the loose form: Sweet, Stunning, Scandalous, Seductive, and Sophisticated, so no need to worry about changing to a new shade.



5. Splurge Cream Eye Shadow

I’m really excited about this eye shadow! I already have customers begging for some!!

It’s creamy and the colors look like beautiful neutrals that will go with all eye shades.

Plus, there will also be a  cream shadow brush so that it goes on perfectly!




 6. Shine Eye Makeup Remover Cloths

Since Younique makes high quality products, I know that these makeup remove cloths will be no different!

Whether it’s to remove the 3D fiber lash mascara, or to remove the Touch pressed powder, this will be effective and leave skin feeling nice and conditioned.

New Younique Markets Launching 2015

Now as if these six new Younique products aren’t exciting enough, let’s talk about the new markets that Younique will be launching into this year!

1. Country: Mexico
Date of Younique Launch: May 5, 2015 and full launch Q4, 2015

2. Country: Germany
Date of Younique Launch: Q3 , 2015

How To Wear Marsala, Pantone's 2015 Colour of the Year

How To Wear Marsala, Pantone's 2015 Colour of the Year

Take it as a sign: '90s beauty is back.

t's officially official! The Colour of the Year for 2015, according to the experts at Pantone, is marsala.


Like the wine. And apparently like chocolate, too (but I'm not seeing that). To me, it's as if someone stirred up a mixture of red, brown, purple and grey, and came up with this [to the right]:
 
But around here, we're concerned about beauty—and I say, this marsala development isn't such a bad thing. In fact, if you look back at recent red carpet photos, it was basically inevitable. Makeup has been getting browner and plummier for sure.
 
And if you think you've seen this all before, well, you're right. You have. Jennifer Aniston was rocking the marsala lips way back in the '90s.
 
 













Shannen Doherty (a.k.a. Brenda Walsh) was another big marsala-wearer. I'd say it was her signature shade:

But how the heck do you wear marsala in 2014? Without, y'know, looking like too literal of a '90s throwback? 
 
Let's take our cues from some of the best looks on the red carpet, featuring marsala lips, eyes and cheeks:
 
How To Wear Marsala Lips:
 

It has to be said. The poster child for marsala is none other than Kylie Jenner. Over the last year or so, she's had a penchant for this exact shade—and I think it actually looks fantastic on her. Looks great with the matching dress.

You can get this look by using the following of Younique's natural based products:

#‎GetTheLook‬ by combining Pouty lip liner with Luscious lip gloss or Pouty lip liner, Loyal lip gloss, and Provoked mineral eye pigment.

How To Wear Marsala Eyes:
 
If you don't think you can wear marsala all over (and under) your eyelids, I hear you. This is a pretty idea on Emma Stone, who, for a while there, was frequently matching her eyeshadow to her hair colour. What keeps this pretty wearable is the shadow just applied at the outer edges of the eyes and taken up towards the brows, leaving the other two-thirds of the lids bare. This is also a great application tip for hooded eyes.
 


How To Wear Marsala Cheeks:


I love a nice plummy marsala cheek for winter, as Jamie Chung is modelling here. Notice how her application is fairly sheer, and concentrated on the outer edges of the apples—I think this helps keep the look wearable and not too heavy.

If you have quite fair skin, then I would say to use marsala on the cheeks with caution. It's such a strong colour that too-heavy an application will make you look clownish.


How To Wear Marsala Nails:

By far the simplest way to get in on any colour trend is to paint your nails with it. And you don't need me to tell you how to wear marsala nail polish—I'm pretty sure we've all been wearing it in one form or another, for years already!



Have Your Say:

What do you make of this marsala colour? Which is your favourite way to wear it—lips, eyes, cheeks or nails?
