Makeup Mondays: Not Your Mama's Makeup

With Mother's Day fast approaching, you KNOW I had to hit you with a gift guide!  As a mother of three and full-time legal assistant/student/blogger/woman extraordinaire, finding time to fuss with makeup is usually only a once a day kinda thing.  I wake up, get the kids up, get them ready for school, get myself ready for work (sans makeup), get out the door, drop everyone off and then head in to the office.

Once at the office, I've got all of 10 minutes to beat my face and look presentable for a day of staring at a computer screen, chatting with supervisors and staff, meeting with clients, and then eventually going to practices and/or games afterwards.  Trying to get a touch-up in between is straight up IMPOSSIBLE.

Thankfully, once I fell in love with Younique and tried some of their awesome products, I didn't have to worry about my face melting in the Guam heat or looking like a raccoon by 5pm.  I apply my makeup ONCE.  No reapplying my liner, redoing my eye shadow because of creasing, I don't even have to reapply my lip color.  BOOM.

Check out some of my favorite picks (each under $50!) that any mom (or female human) would love!

Clockwise from top left:

Refreshed Rose Water //  Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lash Mascara  //  Blending Buds //  Glorious Face & Eye Primer //  Splurge Cream Eye Shadow //  Beachfront Bronzer //  Stiff Upper Lip Lip Stain //  Touch Mineral Powder Foundation //  Precision Lip Pencils //  Shine Eye Makeup Remover Cloths

All of these products have been tried and tested by yours truly, and each of them have my stamp of approval!  I know a few of you have tried some of these products already, so please tell me:  Which is your fave?  And if you haven't tried any of these product yet, which would you most like to try?

Oh, and in case you didn't know, Younique has a special Kudos program that changes every month.  This month, for any collection (a set of products + a makeup bag) you purchase, you receive a free necklace!

I don't know about you, but that necklace alone is enough to make me want to get more makeup!  And sorry for the post being late, I had it in draft and forgot to hit publish.  My bad, bro.
