Secret Clear Gel in Coco Butter Kiss

I received the Secret Clear Gel in Coco Butter Kiss to try free of charge from BzzAgent and Secret. This was actually the second clear gel campaign I have received so this product was already known to me. 


Prior to my first experience with secret clear gel I used Lady Speed Stick religiously as I couldn't find anything that worked better then that, AND I would say it only worked at an 85%.  After trying Secret Clear Gel the first time I was immediately turned.  I had never tried it before because I didn't think id ever like clear gels.  I came to find they actually work way more effectively then the solids. 


This product did not disappoint, and the Coco Butter Kiss is another scent I can add to my current favorites. The product I received this time around provides enough protection to last through my busy work days, its not as fast drying as it claims but I can over look that due to how well it works. 


I do have one criticism now that I have been a secret fanatic: my husband ran out of his deodorant one day so he used mine.  We ended up going out on a day trip and out in the sun I noticed how "white" his under arms were.  This has never happened to me before but I am far lighter in colour then he is (he is Caribbean so Is significantly darker then me).  This doesn't bother me but it may bother those with darker skin tones.


Overall I would HIGHLY recommend this product, especially to those who haven't found a product that works at a 100%.

REVIEW: Secret Clear Gel in "Oh-la-la Lavender"

I received this Secret Outlast Clear Gel free from Secret to review for testing purposes. Let me start out by saying that I am in my 20s and I feel I sweat more then most.

I have used so many deodorant/antiperspirants and I have come to one conclusion - Only one brand has ever worked for me. And with that being said, it doesn't even work at %100. Lady Speed Stick - Powder fresh, I would say it helps with sweat and odour %95 of the time. I only get it in one scent because I hate the other scents. At times it leaves white marks but its the price I have to pay to have a product that works properly.

When I received the clear gel I wasn't to excited about it as it came in the scent expressions scent "ohh-la-la lavender". I HATE lavender so this sat on my counter for a good week before I decided to try it. The first day I noted that the smell of lavender wasn't really there - for me this was excellent. I put it on and I found it a little wet. The product claims to be fast drying but what is really considered "fast"? I felt like I had to hold my arms in the air for a minute or so. I went to sleep and I could smell the clean scent. I enjoyed that. The following day I found that the product actually worked well. I didn't notice any odours, not even a hint of odour and I didn't even apply it again in the morning. I was able to go about my day and was clean and dry. This was fantastic since my old deodorant couldn't do that. Also note that I did not have any white marks on my clothes!!

The packaging of the product is nice, its visually appealing and "pretty". The price was decent - I looked it up on Walmart.ca and it was about $3.79. My only complaint is the amount you get per stick. It seems like they could fit more product in the packaging but just didn't. I don't know whether the actual amount of product received is worth the price.

In summary:

PROS
- visually appealing product
- smells great
- actually works against odour and wetness
- low pirce

CONS
- wet
- lack of product per container

Packaging 5/5
Performace 5/5

I WILL buy this product and I would definitely recommend it to someone else.
