Beautiful, bold and just in time for fall

I don’t wear a lot of mineral makeup, mostly because it often doesn’t have the staying power I need to make it through a full day of work. However, in an attempt to go more “chemical free” I’ve been wanting to dive into the mineral world. Youngblood Cosmetics was a perfect place to start and their new fall line up had me swooning with some amazing fall colors.

Going for Glamour is their latest fall collection and, wow, what a beautiful palette of colors. Youngblood Cosmetics founder Pauline says they can be “worn sheer at work, or layered for a more eye catching look.” And, as always, these products are paraben, talc, oil, fragrance and cruelty free.

The collection includes a gorgeous Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad, a Pressed Mineral Blush, and a Lipgloss all of which coordinate together for a great fall look. The blush and eyeshadow compacts are a nice size and come in sleek compacts, with a magnetic closure, that really made them quick and easy to use.

While I was so impressed with the entire collection, the Glamour Eyes Eyeshadow Quad ($43) was my favorite. With four dramatic colors, this has got to be my favorite fall combo yet!

Enticing – cashmere taupe
Alluring – warm chocolate
Stunning – denim blue
Charming – ice blue

Glamour Eyes Quad: Enticing, Alluring, Stunning, Charming

Enticing and Alluring made for a beautiful, warm brown combination and Stunning and Charming were the prettiest, icy blue combo I’ve seen in awhile. I also found the staying power was better than I expected. While they didn’t last quite as long as some of my other shadows, they did hold out for a few hours and still looked nice, even after they faded slightly.

The Pressed Mineral Blush in Temptress ($25), is a stunning cranberry with gold flecks, and will be a blush I reach for all fall.

The gold flecks are VERY subtle and this blush gives me a soft, rich glow. Temptress was a nice change from the brighter colors I use, and will work with a variety of skin tones. It can also be used on eyes or lips for a natural flush of color.

Last, but certainly not least, the Youngblood Lipgloss in Siren ($23) was another stunner. A deep burgundy, with a shimmer, it can be worn alone or on top of a lipstick for an extra punch.

I loved Siren worn all alone and found it was dark enough to give me a great flushed lip. The gloss has a nice texture too… creamy and light. My only complaint, I wish it lasted a little longer, but since I loved it so much I had no problem lathering it on all day!

Final verdict? Youngblood Cosmetics has won me over. A mineral makeup that’s good for me, gorgeous and has a decent staying power… you will love this fall collection!
