Playing Catch Up (Faves & Fails, Product Review, MOTW)

I was sick last week so didn't blog at all. Here's the catch up blog!


Faves & Fails:

I have a couple fails this time, so I'll start with them.

1) Parlor by Jeff Chastain Detangling Leave in Conditioner~ Yuck! This feels more like a crappy hairspray than a detangler. The Barbie Cotton Candy Kids Detangler from Dollar Tree does a better job. After using this I had a really hard time combing out my damp hair, and felt like I was pulling some out. I even had to cut a bit from the ends on one side it was such a matted mess, luckily I was easily able to trim the other side to match and it didn't effect my hair style at all, but this is a horrible product. I will not give this another try, and will not subject my mom or sister to the horror that is this product by sharing it with them. The only plus? It smells really good.

2) Hey Honey Peel Off Mask~ Unlike most peel off masks I had no issues with spots that didn't dry or removing the mask, it peeled off pretty easily. I gave it several tries, I just didn't notice a bit of difference after using it.



Favorites:

1) L'Oreal Age Perfect Glow Renewal Day/Night Cream~
This product has been awesome, I have only been using it about 3ish weeks and already notice I no longer have dry patches, and my wrinkles are less noticeable. The slight shimmer/glow is much more subtle than other "glow" type products, which is nice.


I didn't really try a whole lot of new products this month so there wasn't much to rant or rave about.  What should I try next?

Product Review: 

Maybelline The Rock Nudes (Eye Shadow) Palette~

 I like that their is a variety of matte and shimmer shades, and while each one is pretty I don't understand how you can have a "Rock(er)" "Nude" look (opposite ends of the spectrum aren't they?). The shades are not near as pigmented as they make them out to be in commercials, similar to The Blushed Nudes, The Nudes, The Smokes, and The Brights (all from Maybelline). If you wanted to create a dark Rock Star look with this I think it would be nearly impossible with this palette alone, even with a primer and packing the shadow on.

This look isn't gonna happen:

That said I knew these weren't going to be highly pigmented when I bought them (I have all the other palettes, previously mentioned above) and I don't tend to do a really dark eye ever, so I knew what was going to be achievable with this palette.
I really like this one, however if you have the Smokes palette (no longer available)the two are very similar.Overall Blushed Nudes is probably my favorite palette from Maybelline within the past few years. My favorites colors in the Rock Nudes are the matte pink shade, the silvery shimmer, the gold, and the denim looking shade.

Do you have this palette? What are your thoughts?
