I finally hit my Fast Start bonus with Younique! I am so excited to share this story with all of you! For those of you who don't know what Fast Start is I'll explain. With Younique you get 90 days from the day you sign up to hit Fast Start. In order to qualify you have to have $2,000 in personal retail sales and you have to get 3 new presenters on your team. That's it! It truly is that simple.
I didn't want to get my Fast Start bonus for the actual bonus Y-cash itself. It was important to me to get there to prove to myself that I actually can do it! It was just a little extra push in the right direction to remind me that if I work hard at building my company I can be successful. Being a part of Younique can change your life, in small ways it already has mine and I can't wait to see those small ways become big changes.

Top 6 Beauty Hacks
Hello everyone! Today I wanted to tell you all about my top 6 beauty hacks that make doing your makeup an absolute breeze, even for the newest makeup doer.
1. Put white eyeliner in your lower waterline to open up your eyes!
This sounded so weird to me when I first tried it because I was SO used to doing my waterline eyeliner in black so I was like uhhhhh white? What? When you put black eyeliner in your lower waterline it can close up your eyes and make them look smaller, especially if you put it all the way from outer corner to inner corner. When you use a white eyeliner it helps make your eyes look more awake and open.
2. Put your mascara in hot water to make it apply easier.
I didn't really think this was going to make much difference in how my mascara applied but I was presently surprised! If you like your house to be chilly like I do everything in your house suffers the cold! So when I'm getting ready in the morning the first thing I do is put my mascara in a cup of hot water to help warm it up and loosen up the product inside the tube. Sometimes I run water through my Keurig to get hot water but most of the time I just let the sink run hot for a few minutes and use that, either way works.
3. Use primer to make colors more vibrant.
I used to not use primer at all because I didn't know anything about using primer. Let me tell you, since I've started I've noticed a complete difference in the color payoff of my eye shadows and how long they last. I can't stand when my eyeshadow creases during the day and I haven't had that problem since I've started using primer. Bye bye patchy eyeshadow!
4. Use tape to get a crisp line.
Whether you are going for a winged eyeliner look or you just want to have a clean line for your eyeshadow tape is a miracle worker! I don't have a steady hand for winged eyeliner so I've always used the tape trick for that! I place it from the outside corner of my eye and angle it up toward the outside of my eyebrow. Once you have your eyeliner on and/or eye shadow remove the tape and the messy job you did is now nice and crisp! Look at that line!
5. Apply white eyeliner all over your lid to make colors appear brighter.
This, I've found, works the best when you are trying to use bright colors that you want to pop. Using a white eyeliner as a base makes the bright colors show up the best because the color is on top of a white base rather than a skin color base which can take away from the actual color.
6. Use moisturizer regardless of what skin type you have.
I seriously can't stress this enough! I've always had pretty oily skin and couldn't combat it. I'd always have people tell me to use my cleanser then moisturizer and I was like are you kidding me!? I have oily skin why would I apply more moisture to my face?? Well I should have listened a LONG time ago! Since I've started regularly moisturizing my face my oil production throughout the day has improved. When you don't moisturize your skin your face makes up for being dry by producing oil. If you make sure to moisturize your skin doesn't feel like it needs to produce as much oil because it's not making up for lack of moisture and TA-DA your oily skin improves!
Not all tips are going to work the exact same for all people. These are my experiences and suggestions to get the most out of your makeup.

Month 1 - Road to PINK
As I mentioned in my first post my first adventure into direct sales was with Mary Kay. Now as a disclaimer I am in NO way hating on Mary Kay. Mary Kay is a great company - just not the company for me. When I was a Mary Kay consultant I enjoyed it but I didn't find it as fun as I hoped when I signed up. Now I sit here and ask my self why that is and here is what I've come up with - Mary Kay seems to be looked at as more for "older women" in the eyes of my peers. So I didn't have many friends that wanted to buy it let alone sell it and join my team; I only had a few members of my family who were interested and I didn't have any luck branching out. My business came to a complete standstill. People are so busy these days no one wants to drop everything and take the time to clean their house until it's spotless and invite their friends over for a home party. That's one reason why I LOVE Younique! Every party is done online - no cooking or cleaning required! It's really that simple!
Because of sales to my friends and family and the sales of 1 party I reached Yellow status on September 28. I was only around $700 away from being a PINK presenter and I wanted it SO badly so I started a contest with my VIP group and by September 30th I had reached Pink status. I was amazed at how quickly it happened and how easy it was! I never in a million years thought I would reach the level of a Pink presenter let alone do it in my first month being with the company! I am so grateful to everyone who helped me reach that goal and are now my customers! On to the next adventure..the road to BLUE!

My Younique "Why?"
Everyone has their own different reason for signing up for direct sales, the most common being financial freedom. Not only is having financial freedom an upside but your time is valuable! If you don't like being stuck at a regular 9-5 job joining direct sales has the potential to take you completely out of the 9-5 work force and throw you into the "work when you want" work force. Wouldn't that be fun!? More time for your family, friends, and fun while still earning a steady income. Younique is that opportunity for all women (or men if you're into makeup!). My biggest and most motivating "why" is to get my student loans paid off sooner rather than later! I will graduate in May 2016 and I don't want to start my real "adult" life in a lot of debt from student loans! I will likely still have some but with my Younique business I hope to have that total down to a very minimal amount. The best part is you get paid DAILY - within 3 hours of all sales!
Whatever your "why" I hope you think seriously about how being a Younique presenter can benefit you! If you have any questions leave your email down below & I'd love to speak with you and give you more information. Visit my webpage to view the products: www.nodakglam.com .

Becoming a Younique Presenter
Hi there guys! This is a whole new world for me so bear with me as I learn the world of blogging! For my very fist post I wanted to talk to you guys about becoming a Younique Presenter! I became a Younique Presenter exactly 2 weeks ago and I am already so IN LOVE with the business as a whole!
As a little background about me, I LOVE makeup! I always have and I'm pretty sure I always will. I just think it's such a fun creative outlet for me, someone who really isn't at all creative in any other way, but for some reason I can do makeup! In August of 2014 I started selling Mary Kay. At first I enjoyed it but after I got into it I struggled! These days people don't want to have to clean their homes and have a house party to buy makeup! So when I learned a little bit more about Younique I was really intrigued! I loved the thought of doing online parties on Facebook. We all spend a ton of time on social media every day anyway so why not host a party while you're at it!? Then, when I tried the products I was SOLD! Everything I have tried from Younique is absolutely amazing! So I decided to order my Presenter's Kit! The kit was only $99 so I figured what do I have to lose? This is what I got:

- Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+
- Precision Eye Pencil in Perfect
- Precision Eye Pencil in Pristine
- Precision Lip Pencil in Pompous
- 3 Moodstruck Mineral Pigments
- Moodstruck Mineral Lipgloss in Lovesick
- 3 Eye Brushes
- Divine Daily Moisturizer
- Shade Stick
All of this came in a Younique black embossed case to store it in and comes with your first white presenter status charm.
This was still the kit in August of 2015 that I got but I believe it changed on September 1, 2015 when the new line of products was finally released. If you would like to see what the kit looks like at the current time visit my presenter site. If you love makeup I highly recommend starting with Younique! There's no pressure to sell and no quotas to meet if you do decide to sell! If you order the kit and decide that being a presenter isn't really for you you still got a top of the line makeup kit for only $99! It's a $256.50 value! So what do you have to lose? NOTHING! What do you have to gain? Financial freedom, lifelong friendships, all the makeup you could possibly need, an opportunity to stay at home? What you have to gain is totally up to you!
