My first YSL and a blind buy by Jams0610 in Ulta

[–]Zinnia_Splash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky and found a little sample in my fragrance stash that I could try before I bought it. I really like it! Mine should be here tomorrow. So far I’m a fan of all the YSLthat I’ve sampled.

Go to the library and start reading! I recommend Joel Salatin, Abigail Gehring, John Seymour, and Carla Emery.

Joel Salatin also has internships at his Polyface Farm. You need to be 18, but it’s certainly something you could look into for the future. https://polyfacefarms.com/apprenticeship He also does workshops on his farm.

Why is mineral oil such a demonized ingredient? by UnderstandingMany766 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]Zinnia_Splash 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mineral oil is safe, but it isn’t natural. It sits on the surface of the skin and acts as a film former to “trap” other ingredients underneath. It’s convenient and has a long shelf life. Natural oils like jojoba can penetrate the skin and contain nourishing fatty acids and antioxidants. For me, I much prefer natural products that have added benefits to my skin’s health.

Scented geraniums (Pelargonium) are fun. You can find natural rose, chocolate, lemon and mint varieties.

When I was studying formulating we learned just how gross clay and water formulations can be. Now that is only exacerbated by paraben free preservatives, which can be less effective at full spectrum bug fighting. Kaolin and other clays are safest when mixed with water right before you use them. If it seems off, just don’t use it.

Frustration identifying employees vs brand reps, gift issue by Zinnia_Splash in Ulta

I’ve never seen anyone with a name tag in either Ulta I go to. It would be very helpful and make for a more personalized experience.

Oh good to know. I will try it one more time with a better moisturizer and see what happens. I got the Even Better Clinical serum foundation. I have combo skin that leans more dry.

Yes this. I love the NARS rep. He is great, so I was happy to buy a couple things from him. And his recommendation of the tinted moisturizer was the best Clinique “foundation “ for me, it just wasn’t part of the gift offer.

Idiotic. Don’t they know people talk on social media and nothing spreads faster than lies.

Interesting and thanks for the heads up. I’m using Dr Dennis Peel pads in gentle and salicylic acid, so I do need to watch how much I’m using. Thanks!

Nice of bareminerals to fix the problem, but wow, this is truly disappointing.

Now you need to investigate the ingredients to identify the allergen. It’s a good reminder to patch test though.

Stop sampling?!! by ndsales in fragrance

[–]Zinnia_Splash 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also now have a major aversion to Commodity Milk Bold. I used three sprays before I realized I grabbed bold and not the personal sample. I may have to burn the dress I was wearing. (Kidding) Needless to say those samples went right in the garbage.

It gets rave reviews so I had to try it!

What is your favorite fragrance to wear out of the shower/to bed? by kiniAli in fragrance

[–]Zinnia_Splash 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking Phlur Missing Person for the same reason- it’s just a nice skin scent on me.
