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:

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.

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

TreSemme Heat Tamer Spray

This product has been raved about in Marie Claire magazine and many others. I purchased this last year summer, and I still haven't ran out of all of the product. My friend, on the other hand, finished her bottle in two months. I do not use this everyday. I use it once a week or once every other week. It does a great job of protecting your hair from heat. The packaging kind of looks like this. This costs around $4-$5.

My NEW Main Blog!!!

So this is my alternate blog of Jibeauty013. This will be strictly personal care whereas Jibeauty013 is my fashion and everyday blog. I felt that it would be better to separate the two especially since I will be making youtube videos in the next two weeks along with my companion, Dash. Jibeauty013 will be my alternate blog. All I have to do is spice this up and everything will be all good.
