Secret Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant

This time I got the Secret Outlast Clear Gel deodorant for free to try from BzzAgent. They sent me the lavender scent and it smells really nice. I love purple so I really like the sparkly purple design on the packaging. I have never used gel type of deodorant before. I have always used the normal white solid kinds so I wasn’t sure what it would feel like.

After trying it for awhile I thought it was pretty good. The gel dried pretty quickly after it was applied. Sometimes the white solid deodorants would have this sticky/creamy feel after applying it and I didn’t feel that with the gel. It was white mark free as it claims. I didn’t have these white marks that I would get from those white solid. Not sure about the 48 hours protection because I didn’t timed myself but I have 7 hour shifts and I could still smell the lavender scent after work so I guess that’s good. Overall, it's a great product compared to the normal white solids.

Clairol Nice ‘N Easy Hair Colour Kit

I got the Clairol Nice ‘N Easy hair colour kit to try from BzzAgent. I picked the colour black because I like keeping my hair black. If they offered brownish red or dark purple I would pick it. I actually bought another one and used the dye on my mom’s hair because she had a bit more grey hair and she wanted to dye it. Before using it, I wasn’t sure if it would show much of a difference because it’s the same colour as her hair but it turns out to be much darker than her normal hair. Our opinions were pretty similar for the product. 

The package came with 3 bottles, the color-blend formula, color-blend activator, and color sealing conditioning gloss. It uses the normal dye procedures, mix the first 2 bottles and use conditioner at the end. When I was putting the dye onto mom’s hair, I notice the smell isn’t too bad. I remember using other brands with a really bad smell. The conditioner smelled pretty nice too, kind of like coconut. In addition, the process can take up to an hour so make sure you have plenty of time. It took me around 45 minutes to put everything on mom’s hair and she waited another 25 minutes before washing it. My mom thought it took quite long because she uses this Japanese or Asian brand that only take 5 minutes to cover her greys.

After the wash and conditioner, the dye completely covers the grey hair on mom’s head and it was very black. Mom said her hair feels very soft and smooth after dying her hair. It’s not like other brands that make the hair really dry afterwards. Overall, mom was very happy with it.

I did take before and after photos but it was really hard to tell the difference from the picture due to lighting so I decided not to post it up.

It's Like Christmas

I requested these samples from P&G and SampleSource and both of them came on the same day. It does take them a while to come and people describe how when they all come it's like Christmas, getting all these gifts at once. I have uses some of the products before and some I have not used before but always wanted to try.

First picture were the products from SampleSource, I was kind of expecting larger samples and more coupons but I'm happy that I got something. Second picture were products from P&G, they had coupons that can be used at Target only. Very happy I got these samples and I have been using them.
