Lady Speed Stick Floral Infusions Antiperspirant/Deodorant Review

While browsing through the beauty aisles at CVS I came across the Lady Speed Stick 24H Protection Antiperspirant/Deodorant Fresh Infusions in Wild Freesia. I never tried anything from this brand so I bought it.

It's just your basic deodorant stick which you twist at the bottom, and it rolls up and you apply it and roll it back. I love how it came with a plastic seal on top.

The ingredients are shown clearly on the back.

It claims to reduce underarm wetness and stay active for 24H (as shown on the front of the product). And it does what it claims. It does give protection from underarm sweat all day and more. It applies as a white kind of substance and looks like a thick wet powder when applied. It doesn't transfer onto your clothes. The scent is floral and very pleasant.

The downside though is that it is very hard to get it off. When you use this product regularly it kind of builds up on your skin and becomes tough to remove after a while. And since I have sensitive skin I don't like using harsh scrubs but this product makes me want to use one and I don't like that. So what I do is use it for a couple of days and then give it a break and use a deodorant spray for 2-3 days and then get back to this product. Another issue is that the product isn't retractable, meaning, if you twist up too much there's no way you can get it back. Maybe I got a defective one, I don't know, but the packaging sucks.

You can find it at drugstores, and I got mine at CVS where it is priced at $2.99. I got it for $1.49 coz there was an extra bucks reward of $1.50 with it and I also had a coupon where if I buy for $15 I can get $5 off so I bought it along with some other necessities. It's like almost getting it for free. I just love CVS.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes using deodorant sticks for long-lasting performance but I do not recommend using this on a daily basis. I don't think I'll be repurchasing it.

I hope the review helps you to decide whether to buy it or not.

Some Recent Regret Buys

In my opinion, it's not ethical blogging if we're only featuring the good and not talking about some bad products because let's face it, there are a lot of crappy products out there. And when we're not talking about them we're withholding important information and we're not being fair to our readers. In fact, it means we're being fairer to brands. It's fine if people want to earn some money through brand deals but it's really not worth it to become a sell-out. Some might say why bother writing about bad products, why not just let them be, but I want to put the word out there about bad products too because I want to help people like me save some money. Please note that when I say "bad products" it means "products that have not worked for me". However, these products might have worked very well for some others because each of us has different skin types and tolerance for products and it's totally OK. In the past few months, I t...

April 2012 Favorites and Regrets

I can't believe April has already come to an end. I can't say I'm sorry either because this means less rain, more blossoms, and summer in another month. So without further ado, I present to you this month's beauty and makeup favorites. As you can see there are quite a few things I've been liking this month. The list of all things beauty I've been loving/using frequently are: (in left to right order) Aussie Instant Freeze Hair Spray Extreme Hold : This product is just wow. The windy city can be brutal to hair especially when left open and this product is really a blessing. It gives a good hold without adding too much cast to the hair. You can build it up and get stronger hold if that is what you need. It's easy to use and smells great. It's not too expensive and comes in a huge bottle. Clairol Herbal Essences Hydralicious Reconditioning Conditioner : I love this conditioner and this is a product worth repurchasing. I only wish they would put it in ...

I Got Influenced and Wasted my Money on These 15 Hyped Products

Influencer marketing has been there forever but with more online social media platforms it has become even more crazier since the 2010s. This type of marketing trend has its good sides as we get to know about a lot of things that are introduced into the market while sitting at home. So there is no worry of missing out on anything that is good. But it is also sometimes misleading/misinforming which can not only make us waste money on worthless products but also mistrust influencers as a whole. This post is going to be only about beauty (skincare/haircare/makeup) products that I wasted my money on. It does not mean that I mistrust influencers or that I am not going to follow influencers anymore. I have also benefited in many ways from influencers so this is not a hateful post. I only want to convey through this post that it is important to use our own judgment and not blindly follow what somebody is recommending just because they seem likable, genuine, or convincing on camera....
