Kind of like when you use a bathroom spray that supposed to, um, mask the odors in the bathroom, but instead it just end up smelling like citrus-and-poop.Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-72170611475530314472016-06-18T10:51:06.804-07:002016-06-18T10:51:06.804-07:00LOL!

I think your observation about people going nose blind could definitely be a factor, that's a great point. I wonder if it's also related to people's differences in scent detection in general; for example my husband can not smell the weird scent that asparagus leaves behind when you pee, but it's really potent for me. Maybe there's something in this scent that is undetectable for some people?Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-36767107597583388922016-06-18T10:43:39.296-07:002016-06-18T10:43:39.296-07:00Oooooo yeah people who give poor reviews because t...Oooooo yeah people who give poor reviews because they are misusing the product drives me crazy. I saw this recently on Amazon reviews of a Japanese facial cotton, that people were dragging for being a bad vaping cotton. Apparently these cotton squares that are supposed to be used on. your. face. had a bad taste. THEY GO ON YOUR FACE, THEY AREN'T SUPPOSED TO BE TASTED. It made me quite angry, actually, because hear this poor product is being unfairly dragged for being not good at a purpose that it's not supposed to be used for?!Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-60182030688448607052016-06-18T10:38:59.954-07:002016-06-18T10:38:59.954-07:00Full disclosure: cat dragging gifs are my new favo...Full disclosure: cat dragging gifs are my new favourite thing.Cat Cactushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052704885218633917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-85916063828164981702016-06-18T10:37:29.652-07:002016-06-18T10:37:29.652-07:00This is my nightmare right here.

The only thing I can put a name to that it smells like is almond oil, but it doesn't even smell much like that, and there's a strong chemicaliness to the fragrance, too. I don't hate it, and rinsing well seems to keep it from lingering, but it's less pleasant than I'd like.<br /><br />If you're tracking Lador product reformulations, the manufacture date stamp on the shampoo is a little cramped, but it seems to say "20160225". The expiration date is definitely "20190130".Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027761308795233070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-13679837128546663152016-06-04T21:01:16.300-07:002016-06-04T21:01:16.300-07:00The YMMV phrase grates me for another reason.

The smell also does linger, I found that the scent stays on my hair for a day or two. Those who said it's scentless may have gotten use to the scent after a while. Kinda like not smelling your perfume after you've had it on for some time. <br />On the other hand, I don't mind the scent and actually like it. I have to say the scent is interesting, like nothing i've ever smelled before....Assuming your bottles are not a result of the reasons you detailed, I can see why you wouldn't like the scent.Qinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03209022784328007745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-8109175381803698082016-05-29T16:04:47.084-07:002016-05-29T16:04:47.084-07:00*"...this is why I try to research my product...*"...this is why I try to research my products to death before I buy them".*<br /><br />yeah, me too. and when I'm reading reviews for, say, cleansers on Sephora, and the reviewers keep dissing a product because it does not remove eye makeup properly i want to tell them all about point cleansers, cleansing oils and the art of double cleansing!! another example is when a person expects a targeted serum to be super hydrating because they don't know about multi-layering of products with varying viscosities. this is not a case of YMMV! <br /><br />so in effect, their rating of the product is lower than maybe it should be and it's one more thing i have to take into account when deciding to buy something (based on other's reviews). <br /><br />as a side-point, i do think there is a difference in k-beauty practitioners and the average consumer in regards to product knowledge, ingredient knowledge, etc.vtahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01352123573877202408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2541982013000251431.post-21937925972914198502016-05-29T12:52:19.448-07:002016-05-29T12:52:19.448-07:00This post had me cracking up because of that gif. ...This post had me cracking up because of that gif.
