Makeup Corner: Queen of Hearts Palette Review | PsychDesignTV

I used the Queen of Hearts Palette on my eyes. I FINALLY USED ONE PALETTE! LMAO, I really like this palette and I'm itching to buy the others this company has produced as well as the individual shadows. I'm really happy with the quality and I'm just in mad that I SLEPT ON THIS SHADOWS FOR SO LONG!

Coloured Raine is an indy makeup company that is owned by a woman named Loraine. She established her company in 2013. A visionary for a cosmetic line that was pushed the narrative of self-expression and diversity. She created a devoted following for her AH-AMAZING liquid lipsticks and glosses. BEYOND HIGHLY PIGMENTED (it basically means it has a lot of color pay off I know your tired of seeing and hearing that word. I'm gonna find another way to say pigmentation...gathering thesaurus now! lmao) they are comfortable to wear and again I can't stress this enough, the color pay off is absolutely stunning.

After the success of her lip products, she ventured into eyeshadows and highlighters. Coloured Raine eyeshadows are a makeup lovers dream. They are so soft and smooth. They blend effortlessly and still have a strong color pay off. Sometimes when you blend a shadow too much you can lose color or if you have too much pigmentation the color with stain and never blend out (ala ABH subculture and prism). But Loraine was able to find that happy medium between strong pigmentation and blend ability.

Her eyeshadows are BAWSE. The only issue I had was with the shimmer shades. I had a little fallout but that happens with shimmer shades. The shadow is soft enough to be pressed across the lid and it will have no fallout rather than patting it in like I do with most shadows. When and IF you watch the video below you see what I mean.

All in all, I have to say these eyeshadows are the BEST I've ever used in my life. I had high end and indy brand makeup in my arsenal here. They range from awesome to uh this could be better and Coloured Raine definitely ranks on the tippy top of Awesome tier!

The packaging is gorgeous.

In regards to their shipping: Coloured Raine is very efficient making sure they run a tight ship. Never had an issue. Product shipped on time and tracking was readily available. Coloured Raine is BOMB!

If I had to give them a rating of yay or nay my answer is 100% hands down YAY!

So I signed up for Influenster. If you don't what they are let me give you a link and a full description of their company from their site:

I signed up for Influenster and began reviewing products. I was asked to take a survey, I did and was sent my VoxBox a few weeks later. You can participate by sharing on your social media, blogs, youtube channel, and gain badges and products! It's a cool way to get exposed to new products and really help spread the word.

Let's review these two products...

The Garnier Fructis Curl Scrunch Controlling Gel

I used it 3 times to twist my hair and hold the curls. For the most part, it does hold a curl (with rollers) well and define a twist pattern. But when it comes to my natural curl pattern....it fell flat. It didn't define my curls at all. If I were to use this to define my curls it would take massive amounts of gel. Something I have no interest in buying 4 or 5 bottles at $8 a pop for one or 2 days of popping curls.

Other than that its an ok product for a curler rollup or a good twist out. If that's what you need then, by all means, have at it!

The Curl Renew Activating Milk Spray

This product did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING for me or my curls. I have very tight, zigzag, coily, curls. Honestly, this was meant for someone with loose curls. So I won't bash the product, it just wasn't meant for me.

All in all this product system isn't meant for a girl with 4C hair and honestly, it's not something you should run and grab. But if you want to be my guest, trust me I won't stop you.
