Shake or not to shake, that is the question

[lafemme]

These are mixes. Mixing them more doesn't harm anything. Its not like it will loose its fizz or something.
So Xist4w first time, hmmm. Must check your journal.

Thank you. There was nothing juicy to write about. Coincidentally, I just so happened to lose steam for a new crush after wearing my first spray.

I used xist4w today for the first time, and I saw that there were no instructions. Is it safe to assume that blends without directions are not meant to be shaken? I still shook it out of curiousity.

I'm not entirely sure. I tend to percussion most of mine.

I have Love Boat in Cherry Bomb Musk from LPMP. It is a true success.

Because another vendor's products sometimes need shaking I've gotten into the habit of shaking or rolling (like you would a bottle of nail polish when you don't want bubbles...) everything. I have some homemade blends that also need blending due to some settling. It's just something I do to everything now...no glasses required ^_^

You're so smart Dr. Falvinski! I will make note to do the percussion method. Thanks

Thats nice, it will stay together longer than just by shaking.
I do this to add essential oils to unscented products.

Hello all.
Any solution is supposed to be shaken before use.
The alcohol, dipropelene glycol, pheromone powders, and other oils, each have different density. Even though they have been emulsified together, they tend to slightly separate and settle down according to their own molecular weight. This does not happen in a day or two, but the process definately starts when the solution is steady.
Better method than shaking is to hold the bottle in one hand and tap its bottom on the palm of other hand atleast 20 times. This is called Precussion method.

All of my XS pheros are scented and my experience is that when I don't shake the bottles, the scent doesn't work so well and the app points smell bad. When I shake them, the scent makes it noticeable and stays nice on the skin.

[Cheerio]

I'm going to shake it and see what it does for me. I don't know why I didn't pay attention to this before.

[Isis]

LOL. I hope it doesn't bump up THOSE effects , my wallet will start crying

[lafemme]

How will shaking the bottle affect our excessive spending?! ha ha!

My Xist and P96 doesn't have any and I know some work better when shaken some when not.
