Askmewhats Reviews: Changpo Magic Straight Treatment

Changpo, have I ever told you that I love you?
Yeah, I did, I think I told you I love you as a Shampoo and a Conditioner
But now, I'm loving you as a treatment!
Do I have to use your whole line?
Well I guess I am!
Have I told you that you smell so good?
I did?
Well, I'm telling you once again,

Gee...you make my hair smells terrific!

Askmewhats Says ---

A little bit of background on my hair, my hair was rebonded a couple of years ago, and it's not super wavy but it's not naturally straight as well. As you know, when your locks are growing, the natural texture of your hair will show up which ain't good to look at. Weekly treatments are super important for me. Since the Changpo Magic Straight Shampoo and Conditioner worked so well on me (so well that I am finishing up my 3rd combo), I've thought about buying this treatment for some time now. I gave in! After I finished up my Lux Treatment.

Again, these are my personal opinion, a certain product could work on me but not to everyone! :)

Pros

• Very rich and creamy in texture
• Smells so good
• the softness stays for 4 days now, and still counting
• it indeed flattened my hair (not the limpy kind)

Cons
I don't see much cons for now, the only concern is that, with me using this 3x a week, with my long hair, I'm just not sure if it would last a month! LOL


Tips

• apply 2x a week for normal hair, apply 3x a week for dry damaged hair
• the instruction says leave it for 3-5 minutes, i leave it around 10minutes!
• use a shower cap, scrub your body, sing, dance while waiting for the time OR if you can't wait...
• just towel dry your hair, put this treatment on, use a shower cap and just do your house chores! You don't have to stay inside the shower right? Not unless you need to clean the toilette? *winks*
• concentrate on the roots and also the ends of your hair! <--- driest and oldest part of your hair.

Will I repurchase?

Yes! Of course! I am planning to stock!

My Hair Accessories

Before I got super addicted to make-up, I first got addicted to hair accessories!
When I knew that I'll be working overseas for a year, I knew I had to bring all my hair accessories! How would I do that?
Well, that's what organizers are for! I bought this at SM Sta. Mesa (SM Centerpoint then) for approx Php400.00 ($10.00) and I'm sure the price is different now. I love this organizer because its foldable..and you can hang it anywhere! :)

Looking at this made me go back to the time I pack everything, and I put this on top of all my belongings just to protect this from being "smashed" lol

Awww, still looks new right? It's with me for 7 years now! :D
See how good I take care of stuffs? LOL

Here it is now, in my humble room! With my hair accessories
Of course these are not all, I have given out most of my hair accessories as I grew older!
Very useful, easy access! :D

Are you into hair accessories?
Tell me!
Where do you put all your hair stuffs?
Spill!

Askmewhats Version: Laura Mercier Quad Look

After doing a review on my newly purchased Laura Mercier Quad that I got on sale. Readers have been suggesting that I do a look with this quad. It took me a "typhoon" day to be able to stay at home and play around with this quad.

So here goes my LM "blue sky" quad look without anything except well..all 4 colors of the quad! So whatever eyeliner you think I have on, is just my LM e/s and I've used a liner brush to brush it on the lids for depth. For the swatch and product review, please Smile and say "LM Blue Sky!"

Products Used ---

LAURA MERCIER QUAD in SKY BLUE

At first, I thought it was difficult to use all 4 colors together, but after putting them all on my lids, I find the colors are quite easy to blend and easy to use. I've used them as highlighter, eyeliner and it didn't smudge, I let it stay for more than 2 hours and I didn't have any "domestic violence" look :)

Shall I go out with this look?
Or do you think I have to use other products with this quad?
Feel free to comment
but break it to me gently...
it's the time of the month! LOL

Tip for the Day: My Elianto 10x e/s Palette

I am in love with all my eyeshadows and I wanted all of them to have a good home as much as possible. I have my MAC pro palette and I am happy with it. (still filling it up at the moment). As seen in my previous haul, I've purchased 4 Ulta eyeshadows and for someone who needs to travel with their make-up and with such small traincase space, I really love depotting my e/s! But where shall I put them? I can't put them in my MAC pro palette as Ulta shadows, Elianto and the Face Shop e/s are all bigger than the regular MAC e/s size.

Good thing I've found a very good palette home to my bigger e/s! The Elianto 10pcs e/s palette!

It's very simple, it's sleek, it's black, it's pretty...

** Available at all Elianto stores for Php350.00 (approx $8.00)

Elianto has a couple of other "kinds" of eyeshadow and blushes palette. I chose this one because this is very slim and affordable! All palettes from Elianto are not magnetic, so you can either choose : Foam type (to fit the e/s in) or the Sticker type (wherein you'll use a double sided tape to tape your e/s inside. I chose the Foam Type, here's how it looks like inside...

Since I'm "no ordinary" gal, I wanted to decorate my simple palette, I was trying to find a big sticker big enough for the whole palette, but to no avail, I can't seem to find any at that moment and I am in desperation to be creative (yes, if something came up to my mind, I have to acknowledge it right away or else..bye bye ideas! lol), I went to the National Bookstore and went to the "scrapbooking" section and bought "border" stickers instead. As seen below, the designs are different but what the heck? I want it unique and creative!!! Thanks to my hubby for helping me cut this so perfectly...if I did this on my own...well..I won't even post it! LOL

Here's a photo with my depotted Ulta eyeshadows!!! I need more more more!!!! LOL (well specifically 6 more! lol)

What other e/s can fit in here...?
Aside from the Face Shop, Elianto and Ulta?
You know what I'm thinking? If I can't fit them all, I'll just put my NYX single e/s in there!
Maybe...cut the foam or something....
But......I am still hoping to be able to buy more Ulta e/s for now! lol
