Mitchum Advanced Anti-Perspirant Unscented Deodorant

Today I bring you the deodorant that I have been using ever since I was a little girl in Year 7 who wanted to wear deodorant to school in the hot weather. It is my number 1 deodorant and I still use it nearly every single day.


This particular deodorant is unscented, meaning it is good for people who have sensitive skin- like me! This one is also in roller ball form which I like because the ball is easy to use, slides around easily and is a good size to fit in your armpit. However, you can buy Mitchum as a stick or as a spray as well. I've never used the stick but the spray I've used a couple of times.




I put this on every morning. What's good about it as that it dries quite quick, so you don't have to wait a while for it to dry. It doesn't feel sticky and leaves no marks so you don't have to worry about your favourite black top getting white marks on it!


But does it do its job? Well, I can happily say...yes! Mitchum is amazing for staying on all day. The deodorant does claim to be 48 hour wear, after all. No matter what you do in the day, whether it is dance, play football or just sit at home, it will not let any smell or any bit of sweat come through. It is certainly a miracle worker!


Also, something else I have found is that if you're worried about your back sweating and it showing through your top, you can roll it on your back. Or if you have the spray version, this is perfect for spraying on your back. It can leave a slightly tight feeling on your skin, will leave a bit of a mark and you'll have to wait for it to dry before you put your top on but it definitely will not let any sweat come through. I like to do this on really hot days when I know I will be walking or if I am wearing a tight-ish top. Then I know I won't have any sweat show up on my clothes!


My last positive point about this deodorant is that you can buy it in 50ml and 100ml sizes which means that it is perfect to take on holiday with you whether you go by plane or not because you can have it in your hand luggage.


So that's it! What is your favourite deodorant? Let me know!

Amphora Aromatics | Grapefruit & Cedarwood Deodorant


Hello!


Once again I bring you a review of an Amphora Aromatics product. This time, it is the Grapefruit & Cedarwood Deodorant. 


What's different about this deodorant is that it is a natural deodorant made up with naturally deodorising pure essential oils. This means that it is aluminium and parfum free and doesn't have any harsh ingredients in it; ensuring that it is suitable for all skin types. This was attractive to me because I have sensitive skin so I thought a natural deodorant would be great for my skin.


This particular deodorant has aloe vera in which is calming for the skin. Because of this I have found that it is nice to use after I have shaved my armpits. There is also grapefruit essential oil in it which gives it a refreshing, fruity tang to the smell and finally cedarwood essential oil. The bottle actually says 'for men' on it, however I can definitely see this as a deodorant for females as well due to the smell.


This product came at a good time for me as I had actually just finished my usual deodorant and was wanting a new one. The first thing I noticed about it was the lovely grapefruit smell to it. I love grapefruit and I always use a grapefruit moisturiser on my face. The deodorant is a roll-on one and I found that the first few times I used it the ball was hard to move but once it had been well covered in the product it made it a lot slicker to use. After applying, it is slightly wet and quite sticky on your underarms but soon dries; leaving zero marks. 


Overall I like this deodorant. I have found that it works best as a daily deodorant when you might just be staying at home or running errands. It is one of those deodorants that doesn't completely coat your armpits in a seal of product but rather feels easy and natural on your armpits like its not there, which makes it good for everyday normal use. I like to use it in the morning when I am getting ready and then again in the evening. 


There are 2 other deodorants in the range: Lemongrass & Lavender and Bergamot & Aloe. They're currently on sale at £3.96 and you can buy the Grapefruit & Cedarwood Deodorant here.


Are you fan of natural deodorants? I have heard much debate about the chemicals in normal deodorants so it would be interesting to see any opinions!
