@ShortErica my mom really likes the Native deodorant, primarily because she has SUPER sensitive skin and quite honestly she's also definitely someone who sweats a lot--it's actually a condition that she has. I know that the Native is one of the few non-irritating natural deodorants that she's tried and while even she admits that it obviously doesn't KEEP her from sweating (since it isn't an antiperspirant) that it does provide enough odor control for her.

ShortErica · ‎01-03-2020

Thanks for sharing @CookieGirl1! I have the BRIOGEO - B. Well Tea Tree + Eucalyptus Clean Deodorant to finish, a Lavanila to try and some Schmidt's backup but I probably should check out Native just to be thorough in my own researching of it. I don't mind sweating some, I just don't want to smell.

jen81 · ‎01-03-2020

@ShortErica I have used the lavanila before and liked it, might have to try again.

eshoe · ‎01-03-2020

I really like the Lavanilla too, @jen81 @ShortErica. Right now I’m using Meow Meow Tweet (ridiculous name) and it was great when I first opened it but as I’m nearing the end it is pretty dry and hard to use. Glad I stumbled upon this discussion.

ShortErica · ‎01-03-2020

@eshoe there's a thread by @naturalooks15 asking about natural deodorant for her kids where people have discussed their experiences with different ones. Not sure if you have experience with others that might help her. Glad Lavanila was good for the most part. Hoping it works for me too!

eshoe · ‎01-03-2020

Ah thank you, @ShortErica, I will check it out.

CookieGirl1 · ‎01-03-2020

@ShortErica I've also heard good things about both MegaBabe and Myro deodorants that Target carries as well as one from Nateur. @WinglessOne is a natural deodorant guru and she can definitely give you some detailed recs :).

ShortErica · ‎01-03-2020

@CookieGirl1 oh yes - @WinglessOne just taught me about Routine deodorant. I hadn't heard of Megababe or Myro and I've been in Target plenty of times. I'll have to stop in again..haha!

I’ve been the worst at posting the last couple months but just a little check in - I’m officially at 109 empties to date for 2019! I don’t count: foils, shampoo or conditioner (just dry shampoo), deodorant, toothpaste or sheet masks. I’d like to hit 150 by the end of the year! No photos but notable LOVESSSS and Hard No’s for July-today are in spoilers!

SATURDAY SKIN - Waterfall Glacier Water Cream - the consistency, the weightlessness, how refreshed and bright my skin looked, the hydration and how easily this sunk into my skin... ugh, amazing *chefs kiss*

IGK First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo 6.3 oz/ 288 mL - here I was, thinking batiste dry shampoo was gonna be my number one forever. But then... THIS. I don’t know how it does it, but I can stretch a hair wash 10000x longer with this. Sorry if this is gross but anyone who’s gone from washing often to weaning yourself off so you only have to wash it twice a week will know - the transition is brutal, and greasy. This stuff helped me through it amazingly. Could easily go 5 days without washing my hair if need be.

BECCA - Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder - finally finished this. I am
a woman of many setting powders but this is my top for the under eye area. Whatever makes it “hydra” also makes it amazing at keeping the under eye area from looking dry and cakey. Didn’t do much for the rest of my face so I’ll be rebuying it in a mini.<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">SATURDAY SKIN - Waterfall Glacier Water Cream - the consistency, the weightlessness, how refreshed and bright my skin looked, the hydration and how easily this sunk into my skin... ugh, amazing *chefs kiss* IGK - First Class Charcoal Detox Dry Shampoo - here I was, thinking batiste dry shampoo was gonna be my number one forever.

Farmacy Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer 1.7 oz/ 50 mL - I wanted to love it, really, I did!! But the little Shea butter beads and the consistency and the scent just didn’t do it for me. I have so many other moisturizers I love tat this isn’t a huge loss for me, but Farmacy in general is very BIC-approved so I had high hopes for this!

DR. BRANDT SKINCARE - needles no more® NO MORE BAGGAGE™ eye de-puffing gel - admittedly when I started using this I thought I loved it. It dried out so quickly and got crusty and didn’t apply smoothly towards the end. Not too sure it did much for de-puffing because I normally don’t habe a big problem with that. I realized the main draw was the color because it color corrected my dark circles really nicely. But for the price and skincare benefits, it’s a hard no.

Bliss lemon and sage body butter - the smell was amazing, but the product was greasy, took a long time for absorption and wasn’t all that hydrating after all that!<DIV class="lia-spoiler-noscript-content">FARMACY - Honey Drop Lightweight Moisturizer - I wanted to love it, really, I did!!

@cianni WOW! That is amazing! I am sure you will hit your goal 🙂

Best,
Rebecca

cianni · ‎09-23-2019

Thank you!! @RebeccaBT finishing so many things has definitely helped me feel better about my unsuccessful no-buy😂

CookieGirl1 · ‎09-22-2019

You're doing awesome on the empties, @cianni! EVERYONE seems to love that dry shampoo--it really must be amazing 🙂

cianni · ‎09-23-2019

@CookieGirl1 sooooo good! Definitely keep an eye out for it as a GWP or in a set. I’ve seem to accumulate a bunch in various sizes that way, so they’re definitely in the rotation of things that tend to pop up often in that kinda stuff

itsfi · ‎09-22-2019

Great job on the empties @cianni!! 🙌🏼 I’m going to have to give that IGK dry shampoo a try; sounds like a nice one! 😃

cianni · ‎09-23-2019

@itsfi I ended up buying the value set yesterday 😂 IGK - Upgraded First Class Duo. If anyone had told me I’d willingly pay $35 for dry shampoo (and not just get one as a GWP or in a SF set), I definitely would have put money that there was nothing on earth that could part me from my beloved $12.99 for the value size batiste 😂 but truly it is THAT good!!

scott1201 · ‎09-22-2019

I also LOVE that dry shampoo. Great empties, @cianni !

sephoraaddict918 · ‎09-21-2019

Congrats on all those empties @cianni!!! Looks like you are well on your way to meeting that 150 goals by the end of the year. I have my fingers crossed for you! Your review has me very interested in trying that BECCA Setting Powder.

cianni · ‎09-23-2019

Thanks girl @sephoraaddict918 ❤️❤️ The becca is AMAZING. Definitely one of those products I’m fortunate to have discovered as a GWP/potentially in a sample bag? I never would have thought to pick it up!

l8totheparty · ‎09-20-2019

Ooh, I have a BECCA - Hydra-Mist Set & Refresh Powder - Original

I got it in my Boxycharm box and I'm excited to try it! @cianni

cianni · ‎09-20-2019

@l8totheparty ahh I hope you love it too! I have dark circles that I’ll use both a color corrector and concealer on if I’m going for a full makeup look, so it’s easy for it to look super dry after setting (especially because my favourite setting powders are also designed to mattify.. TOO FACED - Peach Perfect Mattifying Setting Powder – Peaches and Cream Collection and COVER FX - Matte Setting Powder are my reliable go-tos). The becca really set everything down and kept everything from looking like a dry mess and settling into creases. It’s so weird but there is definitely a hydrating/almost cooking feeling you’ll experience when you put it on - it’s so nice I’m so happy to have found it 😭 and the price for a mini is also really good which is nice haha

lmaster · ‎09-20-2019

@cianni 😘😘🤗🤗 I really want to try the Becca!! I agree, the farmacy moisturizer is not a love, it really clogs my pores 😒 but I do love other products
