I have to say that I really put my Younique makeup to the test a few weeks ago. My husband and I went camping with the dogs and had a great time - but I took my Younique makeup so I could really test it out against the elements (I got more than I bargained for there). I took my Younique makeup bag and despite my husband's grumblings about "we are camping - you don't need makeup" - I still managed to put my make-up on in the tent and looked great while we were hiking, fishing and playing with the dogs.

Now the makeup lasted most of the day and let me explain. It lasted through the heat of the day - sweat and all - no problem. It made it through the hiking, the fishing and the playing. But remember when I said I tested it against the elements and got more than I bargained for? Well, I knew it was supposed to rain that weekend.

But I didn't know it was going to be the craziest, never-ending/non-stop, pouring down, torrential rain storm that it turned out to be. My makeup made it through the light showers that started it all with no problem. My makeup even made it through the heavy rain storm that we almost got caught up in while we were fishing but we made it just in time to go chill in the tent until it was over. The sun came back out - and my makeup was still awesome.

But then the big storm came and we got in the tent and the tent started leaking and leaking and leaking. It rained and rained and rained. It was like taking a shower with all your clothes on with your bed and your suitcase and your dogs and your food and everything else we had in the tent. We were SOAKED.
 |
| The tent started leaking so we all piled under the covers to stay "dry". |

| Until the covers got soaked to and we couldn't stand it any more. |
That is when my makeup lost the battle and couldn't hang. But let me tell you, I really didn't give a dang about my makeup at that point. We packed up our stuff in the rain and drove home with everything soaking wet in the middle of the night. When I got home - I checked my makeup bag - the one that comes with the new Younique collections - and guess what? EVERYTHING INSIDE WAS DRY!!! I was so happy. All my makeup was safe and dry. Can't say the same about everything else but that is one good bag. I would HIGHLY recommend getting a collection just to get that makeup bag. It is a great bag to begin with but to handle all that - it was worth the money and paid for itself that day.
So I guess that point of my post is that Younique makeup holds up great in the summer heat while you are playing, camping, hiking, fishing and it can even handle some rain. But if you are planning to look sexy with your Younique makeup while you are in the shower or are in the middle of the next great flood - well, you might have to reapply it a time or two.
I still love it though. Man this is good quality makeup and so far all their products have lived up to and far exceeded my expectations.
