Secret Invisible Antiperspirant
I’ve been using this antiperspirant for a few weeks now and let me tell you I’ve really been testing it. I’ve had a couple weeks of summer like weather and it’s been really hot. My job requires me to be outside quite a bit too so I’ve really given it a test.
I found that to ensure that it is indeed invisible I was only able to put one or two swipes of it on – anymore than that and it was visible. Unfortunately for me I needed more than two for odor protection so the invisible advantage wasn’t for me.
Once I had enough on though it worked like a charm. No BO or wetness. I went for the baby powder scent – I always do – but it’s also available in Sheer Clean, Shower Fresh, and Spring Breeze. I checked out the other ones when I got this one and my next favorite scent is definitely Spring Breeze.

Deals of the Week
First off I have to apologize for the lack of posts over the last few weeks. I’ve been literally knitting like crazy to finish a baby blanket for friend’s of mine – first trying to finish it before the baby shower (didn’t happen), and then before the little one arrives (still didn’t happen ugh!) – but it’s done and mailed off and will hopefully arrive this week. Then I was out of town for a couple days and didn’t have access to a computer. But now I’m back and ready to dive in.

Life brand Moisturizing Shave Gel for Sensitive Skin
I’m constantly on the look out for a shave gel that will be gentle on my sensitive skin but also give me a close shave. I was at Shopper’s a couple weeks ago checking the shave gels out and decided on Life brand’s Moisturizing Shave Gel for Sensitive Skin because I had never tried it before – plus it was on sale.
I hate shaving. It’s not so much actually doing it, but after I get out of the shower my legs hurt because the shaving irritates my skin and I end up suffering for the next hour. It’s not fun to say the least, so I was hoping that this shave gel would make a difference.
I was pleasantly surprised actually. I wasn’t expecting to be because it’s a store brand, but I was. Even though my legs did still hurt a little after, it was nothing like it usually is. I’m not sure what it was that made the difference, but it definitely worked. I’ve used “sensitive” skin formulas before without much of a difference, but this one didn’t leave my skin feeling as irritated as usual.As for the shaving it did give me a close shave – just as good as any brand name shave gel.
So if you’re looking for a shave gel to leave your skin feeling good after shaving, I would recommend Life brand Moisturizing Shave Gel for Sensitive Skin.
Available at your local Shopper’s Drug Mart.

Sephora Brand Multi Action Nail Polish
I had been looking for a pretty brown colored nail polish for awhile. There weren’t a whole lot to choose from, but when I saw this shade called Brownie (below) in Sephora I knew it was the one for me. Isn’t it pretty?
It goes on well and needs two coats to get good coverage that left me with a smooth finish. I really liked he brush and found it easy to work with.
I ended up putting it on that night and I have to say I’ve been impressed ever since. I’ve used it numerous times over the last couple months and I love the way it wears. It has to be one of the longest lasting polishes I’ve ever used – it stays on for what seems like forever with very little chipping.
There are 12 shades available in this line, from red to pink to silver. I think my next purchase might have to be Sormy Pink (above).
Available at your local Sephora for $8 or check it out online here.

PS I’ve been looking EVERYWHERE for Essie’s Matte For You topcoat – but I can’t find it. I’ve asked store employees and both times they have no idea when I’m talking about. So, if you’re a fellow Canadian and have found it somewhere can you let me know, pretty please?
