So I have tried alone Turn up the heat and Instant openess and I have noticed results using them. But as far as the Instant shine (the to-go small spray) I ordered with them, Ive yet to see results. I still haven’t felt out of the ordinary when I put it on (except maybe a bit anxious, but I think that is due more to being stuck in classes from morning to afternoon). I have also not notice any irregularities from other people as well. I have tried it alone, combined with TUTH and/or IO, and in different application spots (mainly neck and back of ears). Since I read somewhere here that you can’t OD on IS, I recently started spraying one extra spray each day at the same time, follow by a spray every hour or two if I don’t feel/see anything out of the ordinary (which as I have stated still nothing). The maximum amount of sprays I’ve done so far have been 6 (3 at same time, and 3 others seperated per hour or two). So my question is, are there any people here that have acquired the effects of IS only by using much higher dosages, or am I just not compatible with this product?
Also, I have tried smudging a little of IS either by finger or wrist to the bottom of my nose hoping that would help me pick up on the pheros better. Could this cause any problems (from the fragrance, and the other chemicals in IS I mean)
It is possible that you may not be compatible with Ishine… but then again, you say you were wearing it in class and felt anxious. Have you tried it when not obliged to sit still in class? Some of the effects, I’ve found, now actually kick in when there’s an appropriate occasion, it’s a bit weird. Like I won’t actually feel anything straightaway spraying TUTH at home, but when I go out, the minute I see an attractive woman, the self effects start.
So maybe a party or something with more social scope than the classroom would help the Ishine effects to manifest.
Also… some people recently reported getting a headache from Ishine. But if you don’t get a headache you should be fine.
I find that shine is a bit more subtle than some of the others, and you may need 4ish sprays to get a good effect out of it. one or two sprays doesn’t really do much.
The most noticable thing to me is that shortly after applying, I don’t feel bad, and if I’m bummed I don’t feel bummed. Everything is just alright alright. It’s not really an “OMG I"M SO HAPPY I CAN SCREAM” sort of feeling but more of a, “I don’t know what I was sooo worried about but it doesn’t seem so bad.” I have noticed that when you’re really stressed/nervous it helps a bit, but doesn’t completely alleviate the stress.
Some people react very strongly to it, particularly people who are very grumpy or easily irritated, while most mild mannered people don’t exhibit extreme symptoms.
Also, you should notice that shine is one of the shortest lasting products. You can wear up to 10 sprays without anything really bad happening, which is why a lot of people get it in the 2x or 4x varieties. But wearing too much and you can get a headache, or start to feel burnt out when it finally wears off.
Where shine really shines is mixing it with others. It goes really well with pretty much everything, and can brighten up Turn Up The Heat or compliment Instant Openness. Try about 3/4/5 sprays while wearing Turn Up The Heat to make it much less abrasive.
Yeah don’t worry Instant Shine is one of the hard ones to see effects from. For me it was Instant Shine and Instant Female Magic that I saw no visible hits from at first. The two seem to work best when used with other products, as standalones I still see nothing in terms of hits. It seems to work best around people you see on a regular basis. After wearing it consistantly for a few weeks around the same bunch of people I noticed there faces lit up as I entered the room, I got a lot more compliments through the grapevine and face to face. The self effects I get are very subtle but it does enhance my mood for the better slightly and I suspect it does the same to those around you as well so after a while they start to see you as someone whos just fun to be around and you’ll find you can’t help but suck those people in after that. It’s magnetic.
I got a good, noticeable self effect from my first try of Ishine actually (2 sprays). It was on a really miserable rainy day too. Perhaps the principle of contrast came into play here?
ntk23, I have worn it out to clubs/bars but again I didn’t feel anything out of the ordinary. I have used it mix with TUPTH but as far as a difference from wearing TUPTH alone, I didn’t really see any. Then again I guess I’ll just have to keep experimenting up, I just hope that I don’t have to get to 10 sprays because I would think the fragrance smell would just be too much lol.
