Yesterday at church, my husband and I were sporting our new clothes we got this weekend from our favorite store in the world (more about that next week). Since we were both dressed up, I decided it was high time for some new photos. Even though he doesn’t like taking pictures, he agreed and let my friend snap some sweet ones of us together.
I’m not used to wearing sleeveless dresses or shirts for that matter (can’t you tell my lovely farmer’s tan I have going on?) Plus — it was really hot yesterday which meant, here in KY — if you are out in the heat for too long, you will break out into a sweat. Which doesn’t look good in photos.
Because this was a sleeveless shirt, I decided to try a new deodorant that is a clear gel that is super duper strength. I had heard about the Secret Clinical Strength deodorant, but had never tried it before, so when I was asked to review it, I gladly said yes.
First off, I love the smell of this stuff! It goes right along with my fragrance that I wear so that the scents coming from me don’t interfere with one another.
I love how easy it glides on also. It’s not sticky, and it dries almost immediately after putting it on. And — it lasts all day long!
Moisture activated, and formulated with odor-neutralizing ingredients that release a fresh scent, Secret Clinical Strength is proven to give you 4X* the protection against stress sweat. Visit www.nostresssweat.com for the scoop on stress sweat!
Taking photos can cause you to stress out sometimes, especially if you are trying to make them look good! We did take some hilarious outtakes of us talking while my friend was taking photos.
About Secret Clinical Strength
The above deodorant comes in two new versions — clear gel and invisible solid. Scents available are Ooh La La Lavender and more! I’ve already told you which one I tried — now it’s YOUR turn.
