Younique Moonstruck Mineral Pigment & Eyeliner Review

Hi guys!

 

This week I'm writing a review on two products from the brand Younique. I purchased these a few months ago through my lovely friend Amanda who is a rep for Younique. I thought I'd write up a blog post with my thoughts on the products with some swatches.

 

 

Moonstruck Mineral Pigment 

$16 for 12g of product.

 

The packaging of the pigments is really nice and simple, it includes a sieve so you don't get too much product out at a time which is helpful.

I really like pigments to use all over the lid for an easy eye look and this pigment works great to pat on your eyelid and blend into the crease with a light brown matte eyeshadow colour. 

Their are 34 colours to choose from in the pigments, the colour I chose is called 'Confidant', which is a shimmery, bronze colour with gold reflects. 

You can apply these pigments either wet or dry but I find they are easier to apply dry and gently pat over the eyelid using a flat shader brush or your finger so you minimize fallout. 

Here I am wearing the pigment all over my lids and as you can see it shows up differently when in different lighting.

Moonstruck Precision Pencil 

$20 for 1.2g of product.

Their are 10 eyeliner colours to choose from, the colour I bought was 'Perfect'. They say the eyeliners are waterproof and smudge proof which I would agree with as it stays on my waterline for most of the day. The pencil applies smoothly and is creamy and opaque. The casing of the pencil is plastic but can be sharpened just like a wooden one.

The only thing was that when I was looking at the swatches for the pencils and on the back of the actual packaging it looked brown but then when I got it, it was black which I'm not sure if it was packaged wrong or something but it didn't really bother me as I can always use black eyeliner. Younique do have a 'love it guarantee' but in this instance I was happy to keep it.

Well, that's it for now :) I hope you found this post helpful and if you want to see the Younique products for yourself Amanda has a Facebook page where you can check them out and ask her any questions you might have.

Oh and also, I will be doing a bonus post this week with some makeup look ideas for Valentines Day which is coming up in a couple of weeks! If you don't want to miss it you can follow me on Instagram,  Bloglovin', or Google+ :)

I hope you all have a lovely week!
