@makeitup305 I love a gloss so when the OG gloss bombs came out I bought one, but wasn't in love with it.  I tried the cream when those came out since I tend to prefer no sparkles... still a 'meh' for me.  

I'll keep an eye out at Costco for the Davines... my hair is... complex lol, super dry ends, but super oily roots.  I need to do some research. 

[makeitup305]

@missjeanie what kind of water do you have? My water is super hard (even with a softener) and on @GG84 's recommendation I used a chelating treatment and installed a Sprite shower head and I noticed a difference in the texture and dryness of my hair.

[missjeanie]

@makeitup305 Its been a while, but I remember checking when I moved in here a few years ago and the water is actually really good.  The rate for my city is pretty good (I just looked that up again now) but I may have it tested anyway.  Can't hurt!

[makeitup305]

@missjeanie if you want to try a chelating treatment, I used the Ion one (they sell the little packets at Sallys and they're super cheap). I also got a plastic cap and an application bottle. I put it on, put on the cap, and then used a hair dryer on it for 30 min. From what I understand, unlike clarifying shampoos, chelating shampoos remove mineral buildup in your hair instead of just product buildup.

@makeitup305 Great suggestion... we have a Sallys here and I'm always willing to experiment.  It's for science!!  

[makeitup305]

@missjeanie for science! for reference, they look like this -> there's some that look similar but do something else, just in case.

@makeitup305 I've saved this photo!!

I recently got rid of the pearl as well 😞 @makeitup305 I feel your pain LBVS, great job

[makeitup305]

@lmaster I had one more backup that I just opened and it still seems fine but I'm sad that it's gone after that.

Oh how I miss saving up all my empties from the month just to post/review them on this thread ❤️ 

[missjeanie]

@QueenMarceline Lol... Under my bathroom sink has about four months of empties... that I keep forgetting to post.

Wow, nice work @missjeanie! @QueenMarceline, it's satisfying to see what products have been used up at the end of the month, but I'm not always good about keeping them through the month, so I'll take a photo of all the ones up to a certain point and then toss or recycle the packaging when it comes time for trash day.

[QueenMarceline]

@missjeanie At some point I went digital and started logging them with ratings in a google doc. 🤣

[missjeanie]

@QueenMarceline I would LOVE to be that organized.... But I know myself lol

[greeneyedgirl107]

@greeneyedgirl107 Great work on the empties! Love the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro™ Nourishing Whipped Refillable Moisturizer especially during the dry fall/winter season here in Michigan.
