Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

I have always impressed by Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics, and their cruelty-free makeup is luxurious, easy to use and nothing short of stunning. Their Weekender Eyeshadow, Blush and Highlighter Palette is a true thing of beauty, and I suspect that you will agree. This gem of a palette features 9 richly pigmented eyeshadows, 2 stunning blushes and 2 ethereal highlighters.

This Set Includes:

Eyeshadow Net Wt. 9 x (0.031 oz / 0.9 g).

Blush & Highlight Net Wt. 4 x (0.081 oz / 2.3 g).

The palette separates the eyeshadows from the blush and highlighter palette, but they are stacked in one convenient compact.

According to Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics,

Elevate your look from anywhere with this pigment-packed face palette designed to complement any complexion. Formulated with jojoba seed oil and vitamin E for clean, nourishing color, it features 9 sultry shadows ranging from rich mattes to sparkling metallics, plus 2 blushes and 2 highlighters to add instant warmth and glow. Exceptionally lightweight and long-wearing, it’s all you need to take your weekend from basic to breathtaking, no matter where you go!

The eyeshadows are richly pigmented, they offer buildable coverage and they are creamy to the touch. They deposit color evenly, glide across the skin effortlessly and on me they wear all day without migration. However, if you have oily eyelids your wear may vary, and you may need a primer.

EYESHADOW SHADES & FINISHES: 

GETAWAY: satin peachy beige with a golden sheen

PRIVATE JET: metallic light blush

MIMOSAS: metallic burnt rose

SAIL AWAY: matte dusty pink

ROSE: metallic raspberry

TAN LINES: matte warm terracotta

AL FRESCO: metallic bronze

ADVENTURE: true matte black

BRUNCHIN': matte deep chocolate brown

These two blushes offer exceedingly impressive pigmentation, and the rich colors can be worn as a faint wash of color, or built up to whatever level of saturation you desire. They are soft and easy to work with, they deposit color evenly, glide across the skin effortlessly and they don't settle into pores and fine lines in an unflattering way. 

The highlighters are ethereal beauties that give the skin a gorgeous otherworldly glow. They are creamy to the touch and they glide across the skin effortlessly. I like a very subtle glow, and therefore apply them with a very light hand, but they can certainly be built up, if you are looking for more visual impact.

YACHT CLUB: pinky coral

FIRST CLASS: mauve pink

BOARDING PASS: peachy pink with warm gold pearl
