Weekender Face Palette

The Weekender Palette is engineered around a specific problem: how do you leave home with one compact and arrive with every colour you need for a week? The answer is in the curation — thirteen shades that cover every eye look from natural to dramatic, two blushes that together work across all skin tones, and two highlighters at different intensities for daytime and evening glow, in a dual-sided compact with a mirror on each side. Side One — nine eyeshadows, all named for travel: Getaway (satin peachy beige, golden sheen — the universal lid base and inner corner brightener); Private Jet (metallic light blush — a wearable shimmer for every day); Mimosas (metallic burnt rose — the warm evening lid shade); Sail Away (matte dusty pink — the crease blending shade); Rosé (metallic raspberry — the statement lid); Tan Lines (matte warm terracotta — the crease depth and transition shade); Al Fresco (metallic bronze — the smoky lid and lower lash highlight); Adventure (true matte black — liner, smoky outer corner, and brow definition); Brunchin' (matte deep chocolate brown — the crease and contour shade for the most natural-looking depth). Side Two — four face shades: Yacht Club (pinky coral blush); First Class (mauve pink blush); Boarding Pass (peachy pink highlighter with warm gold pearl — daytime glow); Bon Voyage (light peach highlighter with pearl shift — evening luminosity). The base formula across all thirteen pans: mica, zinc stearate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, dual honeysuckle extracts, lauroyl lysine, rice starch, tocopherol (vitamin E), jojoba seed oil, silica. Shimmer shades additionally contain synthetic fluorphlogopite and calcium sodium borosilicate for the dimensional shimmer technology. Single SKU, $124.95.

Yes for the formula base — but the +/- section discloses several ingredients worth knowing about for sensitive clients. The base formula is talc-free, fragrance-free, paraben-free, and built on honeysuckle soothing, jojoba conditioning, and lauroyl lysine blendability — all appropriate for sensitive skin and eyes. For the metallic shades specifically: shimmer shades contain synthetic fluorphlogopite (ultra-pure synthetic mica) and calcium sodium borosilicate glass particles — the same premium shimmer system in the Light Reflecting Highlighter, which is specifically recommended for sensitive and mature skin. The +/- discloses Bismuth Oxychloride (CI 77163) — present in some pans, the sensitisation note that applies across the Youngblood range for a small percentage of clients. Copper Powder (CI 77400) is the metallic pigment in Al Fresco — a genuine copper-based pigment. Clients with documented metal sensitivities should be aware of its presence in that specific pan, though contact sensitisation to copper at cosmetic concentrations is uncommon. Carmine (CI 75470) is in the +/- — meaning some pans may contain it; see the vegan note in Q5 below. The preservative system is not listed in the INCI — the dual honeysuckle extract system provides natural antimicrobial preservation as in other Youngblood powder products.

The How To Use copy on the page is the right starting structure — I'll expand it with the full practical detail the travel context requires. Eye sequence: start with Getaway across the lid and brow bone as the unifying base that neutralises eyelid discolouration and makes every other shade apply truer. Work Sail Away or Tan Lines through the crease with a blending brush for depth. Press Private Jet, Rosé, Mimosas, or Al Fresco onto the lid for the metallic intensity. Build the outer corner V with Brunchin' or Adventure and blend inward. Adventure applied wet with the YB12 Line Perfecting Brush — dampen the brush with setting spray or clean water before picking up the product — delivers a waterproof-equivalent liner result from a powder shadow, holding significantly longer than dry liner application. This is the technique for events, humidity, and travel where a liquid liner pen isn't in the bag. Face sequence: Yacht Club (warmer, more vivid) or First Class (cooler, more mauve) to the cheeks with the YB5 Cheek Brush. Boarding Pass to the tops of the cheekbones, brow bone, and inner corners for daytime. Bon Voyage layered over Boarding Pass or applied alone for a higher-intensity evening glow. The two highlighter shades together give a buildable glow range that suits the full week's occasions in one compact.

Yes — the base formula is one of the cleanest pregnancy profiles in the range. No retinyl palmitate, no fragrance, no conventional preservatives, no salicylates. The mica, zinc stearate, caprylic/capric triglyceride, honeysuckle extracts, lauroyl lysine, rice starch, tocopherol, jojoba seed oil, silica, and stearic acid are all appropriate at cosmetic concentrations during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Synthetic fluorphlogopite, calcium sodium borosilicate, and tin oxide (in shimmer pans) are inert minerals with no systemic activity. Carmine, where present in a pan, is an inert colourant — not pregnancy-restricted. Copper Powder at cosmetic concentrations is not pregnancy-restricted. The synthetic lake dyes (Red 30 Lake, Red 7 Lake, Yellow 5, Manganese Violet) are approved colour additives with no documented pregnancy restriction. Appropriate for all thirteen pans throughout pregnancy and breastfeeding.

The product is described as vegan on the page, but the +/- section lists Carmine (CI 75470) — an insect-derived red pigment — as a possible ingredient. This means Carmine may be present in some pans (most likely in pink, rose, and red-toned shades including Private Jet, Mimosas, Rosé, First Class, and Boarding Pass) and may not be in others. The "vegan" claim without per-pan Carmine disclosure creates an ambiguity that the Pressed Mineral Blush handles more transparently by listing confirmed vegan and non-vegan shades by name. Strict vegans should contact us before purchasing to confirm which specific pans contain Carmine, or Youngblood should provide per-shade vegan disclosure for this palette consistent with their practice on other products. For vegan clients who don't require confirmation, the matte brown, terracotta, black, coral, and gold-toned pans are less likely to contain Carmine than the pink and rose-toned shimmers — but shade-level confirmation is the only reliable approach.

A thirteen-pan palette at daily use of multiple shades simultaneously is the fastest-depleting format in the Youngblood range — but the travel context means it's typically used for trips rather than daily home use, which significantly extends the compact's lifespan. For dedicated travel use (a week-long trip three to four times per year), the palette will last several years before any individual pan runs low. For daily home use of the full palette: expect twelve to eighteen months before the most frequently used pans (typically the crease shade, lid base, and one blush) run noticeably lower than the others. The dual-sided compact with two mirrors means no additional mirror is needed at any point during travel application. The per-shade value calculation: $124.95 for thirteen pans across eyes, cheeks, and highlight equals under $10 per shade — compared to the Eye Shadow Quad alone at $74.95 for four shades ($18.75 per shade), and the Light Reflecting Highlighter at $69.95 for one pan. The palette delivers significantly better per-shade economics than individual products.

The value case is the simplest in the Youngblood range: thirteen shades that would cost significantly more if purchased as individual products, curated to work together for a week of looks, in a dual-mirrored compact that replaces a makeup bag on a trip. The formula quality — calcium sodium borosilicate shimmer, jojoba and vitamin E conditioning, rice starch lasting power, honeysuckle antimicrobial — is the same as the individual Eye Shadow Quad, Pressed Mineral Blush, and Light Reflecting Highlighter products. At $124.95 you're getting the equivalent of a quad, a blush, and a highlighter at a fraction of the combined individual pricing. As a gift: it's the most considered Youngblood gift for a client, family member, or friend who travels and wears makeup — one product replaces the makeup bag for the trip, which is an immediately practical and appreciated gift. The dual-mirror compact makes it gift-presentable without additional wrapping. The 30-day results guarantee applies.
