I have been wanting to try a more natural deodorant for a while. I had tried, years ago, the Lush one and wasn't as pleased as I thought I would be. After that, I always hesitated because I never knew anyone who had tried them and could give me their honest opinion about it. Since they are on the pricier side of the spectrum compared to your usual popular brand of antiperspirant, I always postponed buying one.
Chickadvisor gave me the opportunity to try this Schmidt's Lavender and sage natural deodorant. First of all, it does not contain aluminium and other nasty chemicals (which, what I understand, prevents toxins from being expelled and clogs up your lymph nodes and might cause health damage). The product is vegan and cruelty free. Also, I feel like it lasts longer. 1 or 2 swipe on my armpits lasts ALL DAY. It's compact in the tube, no lost product! I'm curious to see how long I will be able to go on with one stick. I'm going to be honest, the price scared me a little. It's easily twice the price compared to popular brands. But I also compared tube sizes and even if the look the same, my popular brand antiperspirant contains 48 g and Schmidts contains 75 g. So yes pricier, but contains more product?
Scent wise, I really love the one I got! It's delicate and soothing! Some people find the texture to be rough, but I'm okay with it. It's not harsh on my skin and funny enough, the rougher texture compared to the more creamy ones makes me feel like I'm wasting less product when applying!
I will continue to note my thoughts on it until it's over and I'll see if it's worth the 8-9$ price. So far, I'm utterly completely impressed with the product.

I bought this before Christmas as it was only 2-3$ on sale. I really like hot it looks on my eyelashes, bold, dramatic but I found some downsides to it. First, it gets clumsy real quick and it's a bit of a bummer. I would have been mad to pay full price for it. Also, it is a PAIN to remove. I tried so many removal options and still can't full get rid of it. Love the look, hate the formula. -

While in Florida, I received a bunch of pregnancy/baby samples. This was one of them. I personally don't think that there is a miracle cream for stretch marks. Some women develop intense ones and other women develop less, regardless of their body pre pregnancy. I do believe hydration helps either way, that’s for sure, but there's no miracle. Anyway, I tried this very generous sample cream! It's a thick lotion, smells alright but I found doesn't dry very quickly. Thank God I put it on before bed and I had an old tshirt on. I think it did a good job moisturizing my skin, but can't say anything about the stretch marks. For one, I don't have any (new) stretch marks at 25 weeks into my pregnancy besides the little old ones from my teen years. Maybe it works well, long term, but it's a bit too thick for me. Also, I have tried it only once so I can’t really judge long term effects. -

First lesson, a little goes a long way! No need for a lot to cover up some imperfections. I love these kind of skin products. I’ve been trying to wear less makeup or to have a more natural look so this is perfect for me. It evens out my skin tone and it’s really weightless. Plus it gives a nice glow. It’s a must to keep in my purse for a little touch up. #trynyx #nyxcosmetics #gotitfree -

This is my favorite product from the three! At first, I used it only as a pre-makeup spray. I felt it helped maintain the hydration from the jelly primer. Then I started using it as a setting spray as well. Honestly I haven’t been wearing a lot of makeup lately so I don’t know if it helped, but it gave my skin a really nice glow. I absolutely adore this product, it’s a must.#gotitfree #trynyx #nyxcosmetics -

Very nice cooling effect! It's a gentle product so it works well with my thin hair and scalp. It feels like it has a soothing effect and helped loosing less hair because they weren't as damaged as they used to be. I was worried it would leave my hair greasy since it's a leave-in product, but on the contrary!#freeproduct -
