op here, just bought the Wild deodorant that comes with a case and 3 different scents, will post a review once it arrives. Pretty expensive but i got a discount code that gives 50% off, let me know if you want me to post it.

I use bar shampoo. It's okay? It takes some getting used to and it's a little less convenient than bottled shampoo because it doesn't spread at easily, even if it lathers up between the hands. I also tried a crystal deodorant stick, hated it. It only applies on wet skin so I brought it with me in the bathroom to apply after showering but I kept dropping it on the bathroom floor so it eventually broke. So I'm back to regular deo. I don't use low/zero waste make-up, I buy little make-up and use everything up so I feel like I don't have to go low/zero waste on top of that honestly.

Yes! I've been using this brand of deodorant and I'm pretty happy about the format (cardboard tube) and the efficiency of the product. I want to try the coconut one. I've also been using solid shampoo for over 2 years and I'm also satisfyed with the results because my hair stays clean for 4-5 days, also I never forget to do the ACV rinse, which is a cheaper and more enviromentally friendly option than conventional synthetic hair masks. If my hair needs a bit more of softness I use olive oil, which my family buys in gallons, so it's another aspect where I reduce packaging waste. When it comes to face care I've been switching between conventional face cleaners in mousse/cream format and solid ones. I'm currently expecting to recieve a couple of organic solid soaps from the brand Clémence & Vivien, one from the baby line and one with active carbon, they look promising. As for makeup I barely have any but it's mostly lip pencils and eye pencils, another format that reduces the use of plastic. I have a lipbalm with the same format of the deodorant I posted and it's very practical as well. Instead of buying hand cream I put a bit of body lotion in a tiny metal box that actually contained handcream that I finished off and mixe it with rosehip oil to make it more nutritive. Solid non-perfume hand soap is something I buy constantly because I have pets at home and I wash my hands constantly, I recommend the Carrefour Bio one, it's cheap, decent and doesn't aggravate my seasonal dermatitis. I feel like such a granny talking about all of this but I actually enjoy looking at soaps and stuff.
