I have been using these two products for about a week, mostly at work, and once to a night club. I am a little bit perplexed at my results so far, the only day I have recieved a large amount of hits was when i only used instant shine by itself, about 3-4 sprays. Every other day I used with instant openness, 2X strength, two sprays, and received no hits on any of those days. I found this interesting because I have read that many people experience no hits with shine alone, and experience many with shine and openness. My experiences seem to be backwards. Has anyone else had an experience like this? or perhaps any suggestions? I will try instant shine again without openess and see if these findings are consistent. Also, in case anyone was wondering, I put 2 sprays of shine on neck, and 1 behind each ear. Openess i put two 2X sprays on my head
