Secret Outlast Clear Gel

I recently got a chance to sample the Secret Outlast Clear Gel Deodorant. I received your deodorant complimentary from Influenster.

Here is some basic info about their product:

• No white marks:

◦Rub-off resistant coverage formula.

◦Fast drying ingredients.

• 48 hour protection:

◦Designed to work in even the most hot, humid and stressful situations: Secret Outlast contains odor-absorbing microcapsules that activate when you need them most – to capture odor and release a fresh scent. 

‣Outlast is clinically tested to help stop odor before it starts, continually working to detect odor and wetness, ensuring coverage whether you’re sitting still OR on the move.

‣The pH of Secret Outlast helps minimize odor-causing bacteria and provides longer lasting 48-hour protection; plus, 2X more odor-fighting Ingredients vs. the top-selling APDO for freshness that lasts as long as you do!

I immediately opened this product to give it a try. I tend to have issues with my deodorants not being able to keep me dry and leaving horrible marks on my shirts. Some due to them being solid even ruined shirts because it was hard to get the residue from then out. So in other words i was very excited to see if this product would be the one for me. 

My most recent deodorant is made by Dove and its a solid. So I will use that as my comparison to this one by using 3 catagories: Oder, Wetness and White Marks. I used these products on days where id be outside in warm air or when sleeping on hot nights to get better results.

Odor: I love regular smelling deodorants because the kind that have fragrance usually smell very funny. My dove is baby powder fresh. The Secret was called completely clean. I found the smell to be within my liking. As for the odor after applying the deodorants I found very big differences. The dove i notice a smell about 2 hours after applying and the Secret I didnt notice a smell for about 6. 

Wetness: This will be quick because Dove never seemed to protect me from wetness very long at all. It seemed like as soon as i stepped outside I was already sweating  As for Secret I felt it did last alot longer and I didn't have to reapply often like i do Dove. I was pretty impressed with that part.

White Marks: Well I cant really dis on Dove for this one because mine is a solid and no matter what you do they will always leave white marks. I bought a double pack of them so i had to use them up even though i wasnt impressed. Im not one to waste money. Although I was very upset to see that my shirts were being ruined by the deodorant left on the shirts. Washing and scrubbing then didnt help. The waxy stuff just stays on. EWWW so glad I am done using Dove. The secret as advertised which i would expect from a clear gel did not leave marks on my clothing. I don't usually put my deodorant on first before my clothes. I usually put my clothes on then lift the shirt a bit and apply but you could consider that my Deo Dance and I would call it "The Monkey" because I look like I'm imitating one. Heres My deo dance video.

Here is a funny video of a ‘Deo Dance,’ starring Bravo star, Jenni Pulos. Its worth watching for a good laugh. 

Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes

This is the Tastykake sample that I received complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster. It is the Peanut butter Reese's Kandy Bar Kake.

Here is alil bit about them:

Kandy Bar Kakes are the best of both worlds. Light and fluffy chocolate enrobed cakes come in a unique kandy bar shape with a delicious créme filling made with your favorite candy flavors. Available in S'mores, Peppermint, and Peanut Butter flavor.

Available at grocery and convenience stores across America. Altho they may be unavailable some places you can always check by visiting the Tastykake Site to find a retailer near you. 

The picture above is my husband Officer Mercado. He was born and raised in Philly, PA which we all know was the birth place of TastyKakes!!! Him and many of his family members agree that Tastykakes are the way to go for a good snack. Even though him and some family members don't live in PA anymore they still get their hands on these kakes. As his aunt said on your FB page " You can take us out of the city but we took are faves with us." No truer words than that.

So my Husband was thrilled to hear I had received a Tastykake in my Spring Fever Voxbox. I informed him that unfortunately there was issues with shipping so they Kake was actually expired. Needless to say since you see the picture above, he was not going to let that stop him. :) As a matter of fact he begged me til I finally let him eat it. I even gave it a try as well.

Here was our thoughts:

Reese's is a YUMMY candybar so this was a perfect tribute.
The cake was very soft and tasted so good.
The chocolate and peanut butter outside coating was easy to bite through and tasted wonderful..
The peanut butter filling was the perfect consistency and was peanut buttery.

IN ALL we loved this new type of Tastykake. We also tried the S'mores and York(thats my favorite).

Thanks TastyKake for the wonderful sample. No please make more coconut flavored tastykakes for me. :)

Stuck on Broadway Nails ImPress

These are the ImPRESS nails that I received complimentary for testing and review purposes from Influenster.

I normally dont wear fake nails because well they can be bit of a pain. But they are awsome for when you don't want to paint them and have to deal with drying times and mess ups. 

The thing I like most about these nails are the designs. Unlike most other brands they make such far out colors but nothing that I would ever consider. With this Brand they have over 36 different styles. They provide a variety of plain colors as well as designs so there is always a color for you. The ones I got were perfect for summer! They were zebra striped tips with Hawaiian flowers in different colors. So perfect and went with all my summer clothes. 

They were easy to apply since all you do is remove the backing to expose the sticky seal and apply to nails. Simple and easy for a quick manicure. TIP:If you were want them to last even longer you can apply nail glue. When mine fell off i saved them cleaned off the backs and reapplied later with nail glue.

I would defiantly recommend these to all my friends, including those that like me are a mom and have no time for painting nails and keeping up with the constant attention they require or the money to fork over for professional nails that also require touch ups costing more money. They can just throw these on to go out and be done with them the next day if they want.
