Just A Little Fun.

I thought today I would do 2 things.

First, I would let you know, if you don't already, that I've extended the Pretty Pampered Packages offer until May 30th, 2016 at 11:59 PM. The popularity of this promotion has simply blown me away! So, if you thought you'd missed out on this amazing opportunity, you haven't! Contact me on Facebook at Fabulously Younique, by Kelly or here at Lady Kelly's Younique to order yours today!

Second, I just wanted to have a little fun.

So here I'm going to give you a word search and I'd like you to play along in the comments below. With this word search game there just might be a prize attached to it, but I can't tell you that for sure. (Rules and regulations set forth by the company forbid publicly stating it.)

Also, I'd really appreciate those of you who are reading my blog, if you'd hit the 'follow' button. I promise you're not going to get spammed by me. I'm just not like that.
So, here's the word search and I look forward to reading your comments.
God Bless and Have a Fabulash Day!

ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

Hello My Lovelies!

Well today I finally get to spill the beans!

I am starting a NEW private Facebook group called Take Up Make Up University! I am SO excited!

In this group I am going to show you how to use Younique's make up and tools, I'm going to share information about all of our products, including their ingredients, and I'm going to tell you why Younique is absolutely precious to me, and the best cosmetics and skin care company globally.

Now, I know you're thinking 'oh great here she goes again, trying to sell her products.' Well of course you're not wrong, but it's not my primary purpose. My primary purpose is to share with as many people as possible just what Younique is. Why it is. How it came to be. What the mission of Younique is. Along the way of course I'm going to be trying to interest you in purchasing our products, but it won't be in a way you've come to know and expect from Direct Seller's.

Education is my primary goal for Take Up Make Up University.
You see, I've found that when you know what you're doing and why you're doing something, it becomes a part of you. Something you want to share with others. It's also a major bonus, booster, freebie, whatever you want to call it, to realize that by doing what you're doing, you're helping someone else. So yes, while I hope to inspire you to purchase these products, and maybe even consider joining the Younique Sisterhood, or even host a party, I want to impart what I've learned with you.

So that's it. If you'd like to 'enrol' in my new University, pop me a message on here, on Fabulously Younique, by Kelly on Facebook, or send me a PM.

I hope to see you for our first day on Tuesday May 24th, 2016!

God Bless and Have a Fabulash Day!

New Stuff!

Hello All My Lovelies!

I have a couple of new, exciting projects going! I just have to share with you, it'd be selfish of me not too.

So the first one is a promotion I'm doing just until May 20th, 2016. Depending on response I will offer this one again. I'll bet you're wondering what I'm talking about. Well, I've been offering Pretty Pampered Packages! These are mystery packages of Younique products. A great way to try our products if you haven't already (if you haven't, what the heck are you waiting for?), or some of our products you want to try but haven't had the chance. All packages are surprises designed especially for YOU! *Disclaimer: Due to Younique's Presenter's Agreement I cannot disclose prices publicly. These are very reasonable and to find out more you can contact me through my facebook group Fabulously Younique, by Kelly .

The second one (as if the packages weren't enough!)is still a surprise. But one that will excite you very much. I can guarantee it! How can I? Because I am doing a very poor job of controlling my own excitement and just revealing it now! It's been a tough few weeks getting everything ready and in place. This is going to be incredible! The only things I will tell you now is: It starts May 20th (same day as the packages orders end at 11:59 pm) in the morning, you have to be added so contacting me is imperative, AND no outright selling!

Ok, that's it. I'm getting too excited and I want to spill the beans. Whew! This is tough!

Now that those are out of the way I want to share with you something I've had a rough time with.
I was always very self confident, self assured, and dare I say it, a bit of a show off. Unfortunately my self image didn't match my confidence or assuredness.

I was a classical vocalist so being on the stage and in the forefront in that manner was comfortable. Like every performer, the first few minutes on stage are a terrifying time, but then you get lost in what you're doing and nothing else matters.  But, I'm not like that anymore. Putting myself 'out there' for people to see me scares the crap out of me. I'm doing it though. I've started doing videos and more selfies and you know what? It feels great! I'm regaining what I had lost. Now don't get me wrong, I don't now, nor have I, for a very long time, cared what people think of me; their opinion is their own and it doesn't affect me in the least. When I say 'for people to see me', what I really mean is 'for me' to see me. One thing I've never had is a good self image. With all my scars and now being overweight, I look at myself in the mirror, in a selfie, or even worse, in my videos, and see someone I don't recognize or like the 'look' of. I know I've said several times that I just don't care what people think, and I don't, it's me. My wonderful husband seems to know when I'm feeling down on myself and will walk up behind me and tell me that all HE sees is a beautiful woman. He's the one who's helping me gain that more positive self image. I can look at myself in the mirror and see a beautiful face (after I put my face on) but before the make up I can see a blank canvas that I can use and highlight the most naturally beautiful parts.

I used to have the most stunning eyes, I used to get compliments from strangers out of the blue telling me how captivating my eyes were. As I've aged and things start to be not so 'supple', I've had to accept that those compliments stopped coming so frequently. I'm getting them again! I couldn't figure it out. Don't get me wrong, I love it! I bet you can guess why. I was in a store one day and while waiting in line at the check out, a gentleman turned around to leave and he did a double take. Naturally, I looked puzzled and looked around as he seemed to be looking at me, so I said 'hello'. He just looked at me and said 'I'm sorry I didn't mean to stare, but your eyes are...are...so pretty.' I smiled and said Thank you! Then he left. The lady behind me tapped me on the shoulder and I turned around and she said, 'Oh wow, he was right. How do you get your lashes to look like that? And the colour of your eyes is popping, such a brilliant blue! Please tell me your secret." I thanked her and handed her my business card. I have a steady customer in her.
The point to that story? It took just one comment from a complete stranger to make me realize I'm still the same beautiful woman, I just got better with a little age.

So, if you're feeling like me, in your 40's and your mind still thinks like it's in its 20's but the mirror shows you different, or the compliments aren't as frequent as they used to be; don't worry it's all in your head. You're still as beautiful as you always were and if you don't have someone who can tell you on a regular basis, get a hold of me and I'll be your inner voice from the outside. Because I think you're stunning, and that is no lie. You ARE!

God Bless and have a Fabulash Day!!

CALLING ALL BEAUTIES!!!

Today, May 9th, 2016, Younique revealed one of their most exciting new products.

The Sculpting Trio! What is it you ask? Well, I'm glad you did!

I'm so freakin' excited about this that I stayed up until 1:00 AM (pst) this morning just to make sure I was one of the first to get this new product!

So what is the Sculpting Trio?

The Sculpting Trio is a palette of 3 shades of contour and highlighting cream and powder.
This palette comes in 3 shades. Light, Medium, and Dark.

So how do you know which one is right for you?

Well, if you use Scarlet, Organza, Velour, or Taffeta, foundation your palette would be Light.
If you use Chiffon, Satin, or Cashmere, your palette would be Medium.
If you use Velvet, Charmeuse, or Cypress, your palette would be Dark.

So what's so great about these palettes?

These palettes are made up of 1 Contour Cream, 1 Highlight Powder, and 1 3D Cream. Now you're wondering what are these creams, right?

The Contour Cream is a velvety-cream-to-powder formula. This adds great definition and an amazing colour pay off. This cream is not like our cream foundation. It's actually quite difficult to tell by touch if it is a powder or a cream. It's beautiful and light. It is a buildable formula for a soft look or a more defined contour. It is infused with Sunflower Oil and Vitamin E.

The Highlight Powder is a slightly iridescent mineral powder that brightens for a natural-looking glow. This powder has a high refractive index that creates a radiant  'soft focus' effect. It is also a moisturizing powder with a velvety texture.

The 3D Cream is a luxurious satin-like cream for accentuating and highlighting. It is packed with light-reflecting pearl-based ingredients that will draw attention to your favourite features. This cream creates a sheer, shimmery, and dewy glow. This cream is best applied with your ring finger as the warmth of your skin helps the cream 'melt' for effortless application and maximum blendability.

You want to know more? Ok, I'll tell you!

This Sculpting Trio is paraben and fragrance-free and pairs perfectly with all of Younique's foundation products. One of the things I love about this palette is that the places to put each shade is marked with a fully attached instruction guide. Over the colours, is a plastic sheet with 3 ladies faces. Each face shows you where you use that shade on your face. This sheet is firmly attached to the inside of the palette so you can't lose it and forget which shade goes where! I love that! I'm one of those ladies that reads instructions once or twice and then throws them away 'because I'm not going to forget how to use this.' Yeah right! Happens every time. So this way, I can't do that and I'll never forget where to put what shade where. Ingenious! By the way, did I mention with this Sculpting Trio you get (for May only) our new Highlight and Contouring Brush for FREE?! You do! And as always our Kudos is *while supplies last. So don't hesitate let's get you on the road to highlighting and contouring like a pro!

Well, that's my beauty announcement for today. Come check it out on my website HERE. It's under the Kudos tab. Or you can connect with me on Facebook at Fabulously Younique, by Kelly .

Go out and have an absolutely Fabulash Day!

How Do You Choose?

I went shopping yesterday. I needed to pick up a few things and remembered that I really wanted to do a mascara comparison. There's one that I see commercials for all the time (ok there's tons, but this one in particular) and it promises to do the same thing, or more, than my Younique 3D Fiber Lash+ Mascara. My mascara promises you 400% increase in volume and length as well as nourishing your own natural lashes. The competing brand (sorry I don't give out names.) promises 12x the length and volume of your lashes, too. I'm thinking it's pretty much the same promise.

So I did a comparison today. I put my Younique on my right eye (in the picture it's labelled left) and the other one on my left eye. The picture clearly shows that the Younique is much better and delivers on its' promise better than the other brand.

To avoid any confusion, I put 2 coats of the Younique on and 2 coats of the competitor. Even steven. I will say that the water resistance is comparable to the Younique's. However, I'm finding this competitor brand to be quite heavy feeling. I'm not used to feeling my mascara anymore because the Younique is pretty much weightless. This particular brand is not weightless.

Comparison:
Younique                                                                
Weightless                                                                

Water Resistant                                                          

All Natural                                                              
No Animal Testing                                                    
No Flaking                                                                
Delivers on Promise

Other Brand
Heavy
Water Resistant
Contains Chemicals
Company Tests on Animals
No Flaking
Does Not Deliver On Promise (In my opinion)
                                                 
I could go on but I think you get the idea. Overall, I think my biggest issues with the competitor are the heaviness, the chemicals, and the animal testing. If this company were a DS company, I couldn't, in good conscience, represent them.

Also to be fair, the competitor's mascara did take much less time to apply as it is only one step and for someone with tremors this is a big benefit.

What are the criteria you use to choose your cosmetics? Above you see some of mine.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more.
