Maybelline Expert Wear Eyeshadow Quad

When it comes to eyeshadow, I want an eyeshadow that goes on nice and is very pigmented. These expert wear eyeshadows does the job. I have two of them, Chai Latte and Lavender Fields (Discontinued I believe) However the packaging sucks. It is so flimsy and cheap. If you’re not careful, the eyeshadow can break in one of the pans. I think that goes for all Maybelline eyeshadows I believe. Here is how how Chai Latte looks like:

DSC02416



That’s how it looks swatched to the right. You get a nice matte taupe, shimmery gold, semi-matte nude, and a matte dark brown. These are best everyday colors for those who like a nude look. The Lavender Fields Quads are lavenders and purple shades. I’ll swatch them later.

Product: 4.5/5
Packaging: 3/5
Price: 5/5
Longevity: 4/5
Pigmentation: 5/5
Overall: A-
Would I purchase this again? YES

QH Cholesterol Hot Oil Ampoules

So this pack of Queen Helene’s hot oil treatments come with three ampoules. Queen Helene is widely known for their natural products especially their famous Mint Julep Masque which looks like this.

I happen to own this hot oil treatment, and I want to tell you my thoughts of this hot oilDSC02432 treatment. It really did nothing to my hair. It did not moisturize it or make it feel conditioned. I’ve tried better hot oil treatments. The ampoule is shown at the right.
I would not suggest buying this product if you have dry and damaged hair like I do or any other hair type. If you really want a nice hot oil treatment, heat up either olive oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, or even macadamia nut oil. These oils are very moisturizing and will let your hair feel nice and smooth.
Overall: Would I repurchase this again? NO
