Out with the Old and In with the New!!

Our Younique Collections are getting some re-vamping this Fall! So out with the old and in with the new! 

Today I'll be sharing with you the old collections that are leaving tonight, plus our new ones that they are replacing! I'm super excited about these new collections and feel they really took their time in creating something for everyone! 

Makeup Collections can be tricky! It either has everything you want, one thing you want, or nothing you want! At least that is how I feel when I'm looking. I am a busy mom and don't have time every day to get all dolled up. Unless I'm taking a selfie or video for work, most days I just go without. 

So here we go! Below are the Current Collections that will be discontinued tonight! If you purchase one of these today, I will throw in a one of our Shine Cloths makeup remover worth $20 or an Uplift Eye Serum worth $65 for FREE!! Just choose from any of these collections below! You will be in love with the Shine Cloths, they are my favorite part of my nightly routine. My makeup comes off so effortlessly now and it hydrates my skin. The Uplifting Eye Serum is a little miracle in a bottle. I've noticed the biggest difference in my neck and around my eye area. Just a little goes a long way at reducing fine lines and wrinkles. For FREE!! Loving these Deals! :) 







As for our NEW Collections....which I feel are even better and more personalized for different individuals. From just looking at the pictures below I can already tell you which collections really excite me. PLUS, PLUS....Every New Collection comes in your choice of cute makeup bags! In pictures below! :) 

 The Most Wanted has everything you'll need for a five-minute face routine in the morning! Perfect for the busy mom or someone who just doesn't wear a lot of makeup. 

 Are you a Selfie freak like me? Then this one is for you!! I love this collection, these products are my go to favorite for a flawless selfie finish! 

 Nothing beats this survival stash! I use the Rose Water Toning Spray every day and many times. The smell is invigorating and works great as a makeup setter!

 Brows, Lips, Eyes, and a Flawless Finish! This collection has what you need for a glamorous night out or special occasions!  It has it all!! 

 This is my all time Favorite collection! I'm so loving this new skin care line and all the amazing benefits it has! My skin has never been so hydrated. Which has always been hard for me as I live in Arizona. Our hot dry climate is not very forgiving. 


Lift, Repair, Protect and Restore damaged skin with this amazing skin loving collection! Our September Kudos is for the Instant Lifting Serum. When purchased we'll give you $15 dollars in Y-Cash to us on your next purchase! :)

Have you seen any collections that scream out to you "Oh my GOSH BUY ME!, BUY ME NOW!" I know I have! LOL 

One nice thing for me is I even get paid when I purchase something, so it really is a win, win! 

Color Matching can be tricky if you have never bought makeup before. So I've put together a few images to help, I'll post those below! 



























 Even Barbie has hopped on the Younique Band Wagon!! What are you waiting for??!!

Happy National Cheesecake Day!


In honor of National Cheesecake Day and probably one of my all time favorite cakes ever, I'm sharing an old family recipe for Raspberry Cheesecake. Originally from my great grandmother and passed down through the generations. The recipe is super easy to make! It's a no bake and Gluten-Free! Even better right??!! 

What do you need to get started:

Ingredients:

Cheesecake

  • 2 packages (6 ounces each) Driscoll's Raspberries
  • 8 ounces white chocolate chips or white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cold water
  • 1 package unflavored gelatin
  • 3 packages (8 ounces each) cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 bar white chocolate, for garnish

  • Crust
  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Making the Crust:
You can also use a store bought crust in the package that has already been cooked. 

Crust

  1. Combine almond flour, sugar, cocoa, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly blended. Press mixture into bottom of a 9-inch springform pan and refrigerate.

Cheesecake

  1. Place white chocolate in a metal bowl and set over a saucepot of simmering water to melt chocolate. Stir constantly and be careful not to let any water or steam get into a bowl with chocolate. Set aside and let cool somewhat.
    Combine cold water and gelatin in a small saucepan and heat over low, stirring just until gelatin is dissolved.
    In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat cream cheese, sugar and gelatin mixture on medium until evenly blended. Check to be sure cream cheese mixture and chocolate are the same temperature. Mix a few tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture into the melted white chocolate until it looks shiny and smooth. Gradually add white chocolate mixture to the remaining cream cheese mixture. Mix until blended. Divide mixture evenly into 2 separate bowls.
    In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream to stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream into 1 of the bowls of cream cheese mixture.
    In a blender or food processor, puree 1 package raspberries. Strain and discard seeds (you should have about 1/2 cup puree). Stir raspberry puree into remaining bowl of cream cheese mixture until evenly blended.
    Pour whipped cream mixture into the pan and spread evenly. Spoon raspberry mixture on top of whipped cream mixture and gently spread evenly. Cover pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
    Briefly wrap a warm, wet kitchen towel around the pan for a short before opening it. This prevents the cake from sticking to the sides. A hairdryer also works for this.
    Use a vegetable peeler to make white chocolate curls from a chocolate bar. Place on top of cheesecake with remaining raspberries.

All this cheesecake talk reminds me of another one of my favorite products and it goes hand in hand with today's holiday! 


This looks so good I want to eat it! It has a warm vanilla fragrance and is one of the best lip balms I've ever used. Not waxy or weird feeling on your lips, which really bothers me with most other chapsticks on the market. 


The color is light but gives you a soft pale lip tint. 


All of them have yummy names starting left to right:
Vanilla Milkshake, Raspberry Cheesecake, Red Velvet Cake, Cherry Cobler, and Chocolate Truffle.....Nom Nom!! 



Here's a better look of them on the lips! 
Kiss Kiss!!
