Youngblood Minty Shiny Lip Gel Review:
I was really excited to test drive the new Minty Shiny Lip Gel from Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics. The two shades I have are Unveiled and Confessed. They look similar in color, except Unveiled has shimmer in it and Confessed is slightly more red in tone. They both look brighter/more intense in color in the tube than they actually look on your lips. As you can see in the swatch photos, they appear lighter in color over the white background than on my hand. The more pigmented your lips are, the brighter/more intense the color will appear.

I like the fact that these glosses are sheer because they provide the perfect pop of color to go with almost any look. Out of the two shades I have, I've used Unveiled more but I like they both shades equally. The shade Bared looks like a gorgeous nude, and is the next shade I'd want to try.

The thing I love about these the most is how shiny they are. My lips are super glossy every time I wear these, unless I apply a thin layer (like shown on my lips in the photo of me wearing the shade Unveiled, where I applied a thinner layer). They're non-sticky and will last an average amount of time for a gloss.

Probably the only negative I could say is the price; at $25.50 per tube I feel like you don't get a lot of product. I'm already 3/4 the way done with the shade Unveiled and I rarely go through lip gloss like that. Catch them on a sale or with a coupon if the price bothers you. Other than that, these glosses - or should I say Lip Gels - are fantastic! They're shiny, moisturizing, non-sticky and pretty on the lips. I'd recommend!

Hello, Beautiful!

I have a few Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics products to show you in this post. Their Lip Gloss in the shade Deja Vu, their Luminous Creme Blush in the shade Taffeta, and their Eye-Illuminating Duo. I really liked all three products!

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Lip Gloss Review:
I really liked the formulation of this lip gloss. It was on smooth and easily, giving my lips nice color and pretty shine. It's non-sticky and feels comfortable on my lips.

They also make a few plumping shades, which are marked with an * next to the shade name on their website.

I like the shade I have, it's a pinky brown nude which can go darker/deeper in color if applied full or you can make it a bit more sheer - like I normally like to apply it. In my photo showing the color on my lips it's not full color but not too sheer either. It's a wearable brown nude for me because of the pink tones in it.

Overall, I'd recommend this gloss and I plan to check out other shades in the future (like Promiscuous, Devotion, and Coral Kiss).

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Luminous Creme Blush Review:
An oil-free formula that combines shimmering glow with sheer, long-wearing color. You can wear as a cheek color or even as a highlighter.

The texture was nice - smooth and creamy, blending nicely. I'm not a big cream blush person because I usually get breakouts on my cheeks and cream blushes can just make them stand out even more, but this is a really nice cream blush.

The color is a sweet, watermelon bubblegum pink. Great for spring and summer! You can wear it on its own or layer a powder blush on top. I'd recommend checking them out.

Youngblood Mineral Cosmetics Eye-Illuminating Duo Review:
This is a product I really like. The matte side is great for naturally adding light, while the shimmer end will reflect light and add sheen.

Even though they are a pencil formula, they are creamy and apply nicely. You can even blend it out easily because of how creamy they are.

A perfect duo for making eyes look bright and awake! I'd highly recommend!
