Younique Products – GREAT and SAFE COST EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE!!

Interesting fact: Your skin absorbs at least 60% of the chemicals into your body through the skin!!  THAT is why it matters WHAT you put on your skin!!

 

Does your make up company provide ingredients?

Look at the containers in your cabinets, and see what they tell you!  Then go to the manufacturer's website and take a look at the list of ingredients!  STILL can’t find ingredients?   I wonder why?!?!

Does your eyeshadow, concealer or blusher use Talc? How about anything that ends with the word “paraben”? If they do you may want to throw them in the trash where they belong….Here is why:

Parabens are used as a preservative in many cosmetics. According to safecosmetics.org,

“Parabens are a group of compounds widely used as anti-microbial preservatives in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics products, including underarm deodorants. Parabens are absorbed through intact skin and through the gastrointestinal tract and blood. U.K. researchers found measurable concentrations of six different parabens in 20 human breast tumors. The study highlights the need for more research on the potential link between products containing parabens and increased breast cancer risk.”

SO are Parabens really bad?

Well – you decide for yourself:  Parabens can mimic the hormone estrogen, which is known to play a role in the development of breast cancers. Researchers have found parabens in breast tumors and believe there is a relationship between parabens and tumors. And in the July 2002 issue of the Archives of Toxicology, Dr. S. Oishi of the Department of Toxicology, Tokyo Metropolitan Research Laboratory of Public Health reported that exposure of newborn male mammals to butylparaben “adversely affects the secretion of testosterone and the function of the male reproductive system.” If a causal link between a chemical and cancer is not enough to avoid a product that can easily be avoided, I don’t know what is. There are a lot of other reports available all over the internet, but most of them are all related to reproductive health in some way or another.

The jury is still out on how and why parabens might affect development and growth of both babies and adults. But I decided a while ago to get rid of any products that have it and replace them with products that don’t. There is no harm being more careful with this kind of stuff – remember, things that were deemed safe in the past then came back to haunt us all when we were told that they actually caused all sorts of diseases. There ARE safe alternative’s available.

So back to the initial question – what are parabens? They are chemicals we need to work hard to avoid, period.

Where to shop to Paraben Free products?? I have just the answer for you...Younique Products are all Paraben, Cruelty and Talc FREE.

MAC and Mary Kay products (PLUS SOOO MANY MORE) contain PARABENS and TALC!!

What is Talc?

Talc is commonly used in loose powders, blushes and eye shadows, in fact some use up to 50% talc because it is a cheap filler. The bad part is not that you are spending good money on cheap filler AND talc has been linked to respiratory damage with long-term use.

So we are down to Younique Products and Bare Minerals!  Both of these:

• Use Pure Minerals
• Paraben Free
• Talc or Starch Free
• Preservative Free
• Oil Free

Now price comparison!!…

 

This comparison uses Eye Shadows:

• Younique - $2.00 per gram
• Bare Minerals = $24.56 per gram

You owe it to yourself and all that you care about to spread the word about a SAFER and MORE COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTION!!  Younique Products is your answer!

What Is Younique's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara All About?

Hey Beauties,

After receiving tons of emails I decided to create this blog to show you what the Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara is all about, what the product includes as well as before & after pictures of customers using it.

Younique's 3D Fiber Lash Mascara is a "must have" accessory to any women's makeup bag. There is a pending patent on its formula, plus it is safe for any age (yes, kids/young teens too whether it be dance or cheerleading competitions). It has naturally based ingredients, which include green tea fibers, plus there is no cruelty to our furry friends (HUGE in my books!). It is fab-u-lash for everyday wear, and even better for special occasions (hint, hint - New Years is coming Ladies).

 

Now how does it work:

 

Our simple three-step process combines Transplanting Gel and Natural Green Tea Fibers to help create the appearance of incredible thickness and volume to your existing lashes. Watch as your lashes transform into something you have only dreamed of! The 3D Fiber Lashes are water resistant but easily wash off with warm water and facial cleanser at the end of the day. Try it! It will quickly become your favorite makeup must-have!

 

Tube #1 - Transplanting Gel

Tube #2 - Natural Green Tea Fibers

 

The application process is simple as 1, 2, 3!

Step 1:
Apply the 3D Transplanting Gel just like you put on regular mascara (working one eye at a time).

Step2: 
After applying the Transplanting Gel, you apply the 3D Fibers.

Step3:
And final step, apply the Transplanting Gel to seal the Fibers in place.

Note: If you want a more dramatic, longer look, do a round #2 by repeating the above steps working one eye at a time and only applying the fibers on the ends of your lashes to avoid clumping.

If you are using a lash comb, ensure it is a high quality metal lash comb as plastic combs tend to pull the fibers off your lashes that you have just put on your lashes.  

Our 3D Fiber Lash Mascara is water resistant, but can easily be removed at the end of the day (or the next day!) with warm water and your regular face wash.

A MUST SEE 3D Fiber Lash Mascara Demo/Application:

 

It may take you a few tries to perfect your lashes to get them to be where you want them to be (Longer/shorter/fuller).

Play around and have fun…!

Here are some extra bonus tips to help you be successful!

November Goal Accomplished: I Reached Pink In Younique!

When I first joined Younique, a Presenter said something along the lines of “be prepared to work just about for free for the first 4-6 months”. Now, not to sound arrogant, but I figured she had to be talking to everyone else because that couldn’t be true for me. I was going to knock my Younique business off its socks right from the get go. After all, Younique is the first company that I’ve ever wanted to join and succeed in. Nope, it was true for me too.

Well, fast-forward and it’s been about three (3) months that I’ve been in Younique. I’ve personally sponsored just under 10 people. I talk to people every single day and am constantly building a funnel of people to talk to in the future because maybe the timing isn’t right for them right now - but I know in the New Year when debts want to be paid, it will be :) **positive thinking, right!**

In the month of November, just shy of my three (3) month mark, I went from White Status to Yellow Status (scored a permanent pay raise) and then a week later got my Fast Start (Yellow) - yes, Younique paid me a $300CAN Y-Cash Bonus for this accomplishment! And guess what? I just advanced to the level pink. Finally. Pink!! Yay! Go me! [this is my past cheerleading excitement coming out].

I admit, I thought it would be easier. I just thought everyone would fall in love with Younique, like I did, and that they would want to become a part of it. And that’s been true with a lot of people. My family and friends have really supported me and I couldn’t be more thankful for that.

But I thought it would be faster. I admit there were days when I was discouraged, but I kept at it. I kept contacting people about having parties and did what I could to get my name out. I kept posting on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter because I’m not one to give up. It is the almighty LEO in me! And you know what? That’s the key. That’s what makes the leaders out there. It’s the ones that just keep going without giving up.

Success doesn’t come overnight, despite how awesome that would be. You have to stick with it and keep making forward progress, even during the times when it seems like nothing is working or when it gets tough. It’s a journey and while I know there’s a long way to go, I’m enjoying every minute of it. You better believe I’m thrilled when Payquicker notifies me that money got deposited into my account (after only 3 hours of a sale of the 3D fiber lashes or other product!).

While I’m not where I want to be with Younique just yet, I’m excited about how things are picking up. Remember, I started this business without having any direct selling experience - I come from the legal field for pete sakes! And now I have people growing their own Younique businesses on my team, which is amazing. I’m working with such great women and have made so many new friends because of Younique. I’m so excited to work this business daily because I never know who I’ll meet or what I will learn.

And you know why I want it so much?

Because there are a lot of families out there struggling right now. I want to help them pay a bill, a car note, their mortgage, or even to retire their significant other… and to do all of this by selling makeup! How crazy is that! I want to take my son on an amazing vacation. I want to help rescue all of the poor little animals that just want love. I want to never have to worry about money again. There are so many reasons why I want it so much. My journey may not be your journey, but we all have dreams so let's work together to make them a reality!

My Younique Business Is Now Growing Every Single Day! But I’ve learned that it takes time and patience is a virtue, right?

Everyone Needs a Little Uplift

Since the launch of Younique's Uplift Eye Serum in September 2014, it has been hard to keep it on the "shelves". It completely sold out in October and again in November. You ask, what is this "Liquid Gold" that has all the ladies and men (yes, men get wrinkles too!) wanting more! All I can say is that MANY WOMEN cannot be wrong if we are all buying it and loving it!

Younique's Uplift Eye Serum is (aka "Botox in a Bottle") a brand new, proprietary formula, specially designed to replenish, moisturize, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. As we set out to create this revolutionary new product, our mission was to source only the highest quality, safest ingredients.

Our bodies naturally produce CoQ10, vitamin E, and vitamin C, which are all crucial ingredients for the health of our skin. As we age, our bodies produce less and less of these vital nutrients. While we may never be able to recover these nutrients, we can supplement them. Uplift contains vitamins E and C—powerful antioxidants which help fight the effects of free radicals and long-term sun exposure. Squalane, derived from sugarcane, acts as a natural skin lipid to help deliver moisture below the surface of the skin. Younique Uplift Eye Serum also contains Sweet Iris, which helps the skin appear more firm and supple.

The bottle lasts approximately 6 months as you only need two (2) tiny drops every night. Take the price of $65USD and divide it by 6 months....seems like a no brainer to me. Uplift is nutrition for your skin! #musthave

[ Be Cruelty-Free ]

Does your current makeup and/or cosmetic company TEST on our furry friends?? Here is a list of just SOME of the big brands out there that are NOT cruelty free. Did you know that Younique Products are 100% cruelty FREE?!?

 
I am honestly shocked looking at this photograph - who doesn't use Pampers on their babies? After looking at every company named, I immediately went though all my cupboards from the bathroom to the kitchen to the laundry room, and it broke my heart knowing how many products I WAS buying that supported animal cruelty.


Humane Society International ("HSI") is one of the only international animal protection organizations in the world working to protect all animals—including animals in laboratories, farm animals, companion animals, and wildlife—and our record of achievement demonstrates our dedication and effectiveness. HSI: Celebrating Animals, Confronting Cruelty.

New Zealand is one of the countres that have just recently ruled out cruel cosmetics! Awesome news! #crueltyfree #lovemydog #naturalmakeup #timeforchange #truth #bantestingonanimals


Poisoning, shocking, burning, and killing animals is all in a day’s work for vivisectors. If these atrocious acts were committed outside laboratories, they would be felonies. But animals suffer and die every day in laboratories with little or no protection from cruelty. Here are the top five reasons why it needs to stop as per PETA ("People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals"):

1. It’s unethical to sentence 100 million thinking, feeling animals to life in a laboratory cage and intentionally cause them pain, loneliness, and fear.
2. It’s bad science. The Food and Drug Administration reports that 92 out of every 100 drugs that pass animal tests fail in humans.
3. It’s wasteful. Animal experiments prolong the suffering of people waiting for effective cures by misleading experimenters and squandering precious money, time, and resources that could have been spent on human-relevant research.
4. It’s archaic. Forward-thinking scientists have developed humane, modern, and effective non-animal research methods, including human-based microdosing, in vitro technology, human-patient simulators, and sophisticated computer modeling, that are cheaper, faster, and more accurate than animal tests.
5. The world doesn’t need another eyeliner, hand soap, food ingredient, drug for erectile dysfunction, or pesticide so badly that it should come at the expense of animals’ lives.
