Review: Ellin Lavar Nourish Oil and DetangleMist...

Tuesday, December 23, 2008

Some of the products from Ellin Lavar Textures hair care line have been discounted to almost 75% off at my CVS. I have had some friends in other cities tell me that too. I grabbed her NourishOil and DetangleMist because they were only $2.oo. a piece!

DetangleMist:It's a leave in conditioner...nothing big and special about it. I applied it after washing out my Deep Conditioner and felt no difference.It smells like Joy dish detergent which turned my completely off. It boasts that is has "Grape Seed Oil" but that is the last ingredient listed, so it the least of the bunch included. I learned something in Chemistry 201 at the WU.:) But the plus is...it contains Benzophenone-4, a sunscreen for your hair.Now, I learned that on Hairlicious!!!


NourishOil- I tried this as a pre-poo treatment. I wanted something that I could wear overnight then wash out on my wash day. Fail...Fail .Fail!!! The NourishOil made me hair hard and crunchy even after braved sleeping with a plastic cap on all night. Then ,I did two washes instead of one to get the moisture and softness restored. I was so freaking mad at NourishOil!!! After checking ELT website, she suggests using it also as a pre-conditioning treatment and even as a body oil... We'll see.
Any one used these or have any EL favorites?

Shopping My Stash: Bare Escentuals Mystical Eye Quickies....

Oooh...I'm so greasy...I know I could've blotted before I took the photo. I'm just giving you a Shopping My Stash on Christmas Eve Eve(as Jack Roper said this morning).
I've never used them together til today. I like it, there were so easy to apply for loose shadows. These are the only two B.E. shadows I own...well I have a couple samples from swaps I must dig up.

Review: Maybelline XXL Curl Power....

I grabbed Maybelline XXL Curl Power up when the Maybelline mascaras were BOGO free at CVS( I got Maybelline Lash Stiletto...for my mom:)). Let's get down to biz-ness....


Pros:
-I really love the curled brush. These kind of brushes work perfect on my round eye. I'm not trying angle it all right and stuff...Perfect brush...
-I like the primer and mascara duo that Maybelline makes. Some of my favorite mascaras are that "duo" XXL Intense and XXL Extensions.
-Their Very Black color is a true blue black. Brava!
Cons:
-What curl? I still, after three coats, have wild lashes. They are still a mix of straight, curly, long...etc...
-The brush holds way too much product...
Conclusion: I'm not going to buy it again but I'm not going to let this tube go to waste.lol!
