@nuinui933 I just started trying some things, what else do you like from them?

[missjeanie]

I love the touchlands @shaeschaeshea .  That One Size setting spray may be a favourite as well!

@shaeschaeshea  Great job! 

[Samtian]

@shaeschaeshea Great start!

[Mellmars1185]

@shaeschaeshea Wonderful empties! Do you have a favourite scent of the Touchland sanitizer?

[itsfi]

Same question @shaeschaeshea @Mellmars1185 ; also, if that empty Touchland is different than your fave, which scent did you recently work through? 

[shaeschaeshea]

@Mellmars1185 @itsfi  I like the beach coco or peach ones the best.

Finished up a few things in January. I don’t have a set number of things that I’m trying to use up, just more than I bring in, I guess?

Love the Amika dry shampoo, smells SO good❤️ Already set with multiple backups in different sizes.

Iris & Romeo highlighter is getting decluttered. Tugs a bit when I try to apply it and it doesn’t show up on me, not even a light sheen or glow. Hate to waste it. I’ll see if my sister wants it but if she doesn’t I’ll have to toss it. 😞

Everything else is just okay. I like the color and coconutty smell of the tarte but it melts way too easily (it's winter too) and can get messy. 😬

@ohlonna ohhh love the empties!

Great job on the empties, @ohlonna !! The amika perk up is a really nice dry shampoo!! 

[ohlonna]

I used to try a bunch of different ones but I've stayed with the amika for a while, the longest I've had of any of the past dry shampoos. I want to try the K18 and the Bondi Boost some day. Maybe in a small size so I won't feel like I have to use an entire bottle if I end up not liking them. Have you tried either the K18 or Bondi Boost ones? @haleyvvvv 

[haleyvvvv]

I LOVE the K18 dry shampoo, @ohlonna . It's become my HG dry shampoo. If you can try the small size I recommend it. 

[missjeanie]

@ohlonna The Amika dry shampoo is one of my favourites as well.  It just works so nicely on my dark hair. 

[ohlonna]

My hair has been all different colors that I've lost count of which ones I've done. The amika has done a good job and hasn't shown up as white dustings when my hair has been dark or with blue in it or when it's lighter and blonde. I don't dye my hair as much now but it was nice not having to get another dry shampoo whenever I did change up my hair color when I did it more. @missjeanie 

[Samtian]

@ohlonna Great job! A dud highlighter would break my heart. 

[ohlonna]

I was really bummed because I was really interested in trying the brand and was excited to see it as a gwp. @itsfi mentioned maybe that it might just be that it takes several uses before the sparkle comes thru. That gives me some hope, I'm going to give it some more tries. Fingers crossed that's it. @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@ohlonna I hope so!

[itsfi]

Using up more products than you buy is a great goal to have @ohlonna; very practical and doable too. 👍🏻 Sorry to hear about your experience with the Iris & Romeo highlighter stick. I had one and it does give a softer effect. If I’m remembering correctly, more of the glow is noticeable as you work more into the product. The first handful of uses is more balmy but there’s more shimmery parts a little ways into the product. 

[ohlonna]

That hadn't even crossed my mind but it's a good thought. I'm gonna go grab it try it a couple more times with that in mind. Do you remember how long it took you to get more of a highlighter effect from it? Like was it a few uses or did you have to go through a good chunk of the stick? Thanks again. @itsfi 

[itsfi]

@ohlonna, it was a handful of uses, I want to say 6? Maybe 7? After about the 5th use, I did start just rubbing the highlighter stick on my inner arm to wear it down. I didn't have to do that for two long before seeing some shimmeriness transfer onto my arm. It's a softer shimmer but you can definitely see the glow. Good luck, I hope you start to see some sparkle coming from that stick soon!

[ohlonna]

That was such a good idea you had. Thanks for letting me know. It did show up and was not too over the top with the sparkle. I not totally wowwed with it but I'll keep it for a little while longer to see if I like it enough to keep it. Thanks for your help. @itsfi
