Secret Outlast Clear Gel Review

Hello!
 
Today I'm reviewing a deoderant I received complimentary from Influenster.
 
This guy.
 
So to start off, my skin is crazy sensitive and dry and just all around ridiculous. I dread switching deoderants because I always end up having a rash for the first week and it's awful.
 
Awful.
 
I made the dreaded switch and nothing happened.
 
Nothing.
 
No bad reaction.
 
No rash.
 
It was great! This was the first deoderant that actually helped my skin and made it look better.
 
WOOHOO!
 
The main claim behind this product is that it doesn't leave any white marks on clothing.
 
Here's their commercial on YouTube.
 
I love this because I have definitely done that dance. I call it the "Twirl-A-Girl-Whirl."
 
I also wear a lot of black clothing so I was excited to see how it held up.
 
NO WHITE MARKS!
 
Nice!
 
I did still sweat but I do live in Chicago where the humidity sticks to you like glue so that didn't bother me all too much.
 
In the end, I was really happy with this product and will definitely be buying more in the future!

4th of July Mani featuring Kawaii Nail Lacquer

I love Independence Day.
 
It's such a feel good holiday full of friends and food and family.
 
I also am quite a fan of themed nails.
 
I love them.
 
Here's a look at two of the manicures I did for Independence Day using Kawaii Nail Lacquer.
 
This is the lovely Stars And Dots.
 
Two coats over Salon Perfect Sugar Cube.
 
I wasn't sure how thick the formula was so I used Sugar Cube as a precaution but it was not needed. This polish has an excellent opacity and applies like a dream.
 
 
This is the stunning Firecracker over Orly Goth.
 
Two coats.
 
DREAMY.
 
I used black for the undies because I wear black 83.7% of the time and wore a black and red tutu on the 4th.
 
Deal with it.
 
Seriously though. I'm in love with this polish.
 
It's the best. Applies smooth and easy and is so darn sparkly! I can't wait to wear it over more colors.
 
 
 You can find both of these polishes on Etsy and feel free to like the Kawaii Facebook page as well!
 
And while you're on Facebook please like my page as well!
 
I post lots of manis and swatches that don't end up on my blog.
 
Okay that's it!
