Right @lmaster. I was hesitant to use them since that was my experience in the past, too. I’m pretty rough on my hands so I always carry glue with me in case one pops off, but I think I may move to using press on ones over getting gel manicures since they don’t destroy my nails as much and last long enough for me to feel it’s worth it. They also have way cooler designs and colors than I can get my local manicurists to do.

[lmaster]

@snoflakefaerie oh absolutely!! I always dread having to get them refilled too,, so much easier now, and same with the designs,,, Everytime I would ask the nail shop to do something fun,,, they try to talk me out of it,,, like,,, really?? I would pay extra for what I want!! 🙄

Nice work on the empties @snoflakefaerie! I feel the same way you do on the LP PHD. @sonnydee has a fantastic way of keeping notes regarding sheet masks - she jots down her thoughts on the back side of the sheet mask packet with a Sharpie! 

[snoflakefaerie]

I have to laugh @itsfi because I think I saw that recommendation in passing and put a sharpie next to my bed stand (where I put the mask foil) and still failed to write notes on it.... some day, I will be on top of things.

[itsfi]

@snoflakefaerie, hahaha! 😂🤣😂 Well, at least you’re one step closer now with the Sharpie on your nightstand! Baby steps. 😃 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  Oh that’s clever!  I just assume I’ll remember if I truly loved them and if I don’t remember the packaging it means it was a B or under.  

[snoflakefaerie]

Ha @heartsmyface I definitely assume that, too.

I know what you mean about mask notes @snoflakefaerie - even a few days later I sometimes forget my feelings about a mask!

[snoflakefaerie]

@ShortErica I usually try to wait a few days to see if the mask broke me out or if the results were anything long lasting and by then I’ve lost my initial feelings. I think I need to do an initial jot down of my thoughts in addition to a follow up.

Last empties of the year, a little late to post. 
Loves/likes- won’t repurchase the Elemis due to price but is quite lovely. Farmacy May purchase in the future have several other serums to get through first. Fresh nectar mask is nice but annoying to wash off.

Okay/meh/Nopes

Isn’t that rose Elemis lovely @jen81? That’s one I am relishing, due to the price also. That fresh reminds me of tang but yes...a pain to remove. 

[missjeanie]

I've heard great things about the cerave moisturizer @jen81 , going to need to try it out this year!

[lmaster]

Excellent 👍 @jen81 

[ShortErica]

Was the Native deodorant not effective @jen81? It's a natural deodorant I haven't tried and if it isn't worth it, I won't bother. Thanks!

[jen81]

@ShortErica It worked for a few hours then I started to stink like BO. Still searching for a good natural deodorant. I did try little seed farm brand and might order from them

[l8totheparty]

@jen81 why didn't you like the Native deodorant? I bought it and so far love it. I was using Schmidt before that, and antiperspirant before that. 

@ShortErica 

[jen81]

@l8totheparty  I like the smell and it goes on well. Doesn’t seem to last all day. After a few hours if I sweat at all I start to stink. Was hoping it would be my winter one as I don’t seem to sweat as bad. I did finish it though but wouldn’t repurchase. 

[ShortErica]

@l8totheparty could you share pros/cons of Schmidt's vs. Native since you've tried them both? I'm glad it's working for you!

[l8totheparty]

Native:

Pros:

-smoother

-longer lasting coverage 

Cons:

-price

-US pricing/ordering

Vs Schmidt 

Pros:

-less expensive

-easier to find/order in Canada

-scent stays longer

Cons:

-sage scent is questionable 

-not as smooth on armpits as Native

*So far! I've only used Native for a week now.*

Neither was better for amount of sweat production. I needed to reapply both before goi g out in the evening. Also to note: I didn't do a heavy workout in either, just heavy house cleaning. 

*note: I do not have sensitive armpits*

@ShortErica 

[ShortErica]

Thanks @l8totheparty! I don't appreciate having to "warm up" the Schmidt's to apply it. But it has worked the best for me so far. I'm going to keep trying different ones though.

[l8totheparty]

Yeah, that 'warm up' is not required in Native.  You won't know if you like it or not unless you try it.  @ShortErica
