BzzAgent Product Review - Secret Ooh-La-La-Lavender Clear Gel

A great way to learn about new products that come out on the market are through websites.  There are a number of different companies that allow consumers to become members and review different products and provide their feedback. This is referred to as "Word of Mouth" campaigns (WOM).   It is a great way for companies to know how their products will be received, areas needing improvement, and what works really well.  One of these WOM websites that I have been a member of for a number of years and had numerous great review opportunities is BzzAgent. Based on a number of surveys you complete online, there are various review campaigns that are matched with members that fit the criteria they are looking for.  Each campaign is different and members are matched based on a number of different variables.

Recently I was one of the lucky members chosen to review a new line of clear gel deoderant from Secret.  This meant that I was sent a stick of Secret Ooh-La-La Lavender Clear Gel to try for a month and report on how I felt about it.  I have been a big fan of Secret deoderants and regularly use that product line.  I have however, always been a "solid" type of girl, not interested in anything "gel" or new.  I'm not very adventurous when it comes to my deoderant and a solid stick,  Baby Powder scent has been found in my bathroom for the past decade!  Reading up on what Secret promised with this new gel (With Secret Outlast^® Clear Gel all it takes is one twist and two swipes right out of the shower for 48 hour odour protection free of white marks) I was intrigued to see if what they claimed would actually happen.
First....the scent.  I'm not big on floral scented armpits so I was fairly leery when I opened up my Lavender scented gel.  Pleasantly surprised, I discovered a realistic, light floral scent that was quite nice.  I generally find floral scents to be quite strong, overpowering, and artificial scented.  This was not the case and I came one step closer to saying goodbye solid!
Second.....application.  Secret again delivered on their promise.  One quick twist and two swipes under each arm and I was ready to conquer the world!  The one slight down side at this step though, was that although Secret promised instant dryness, I found that it took a little longer than "instant" before I was nice and dry.  There were a few t-shirts that temporarily were wet.  Although I did experience the occasional wet shirt, it did dry completely clear with no white marks.
Third....did it last?  To be perfectly honest, I'm a bit of a paranoid person when it comes to potential body odour.  This means that I did not feel comfortable testing the full 48hr protection.  I can tell you that I only applied the deoderant once each morning and at no point did I feel the need to re-apply or that it was not working.  I can confidently say that Secret Clear Gel provides good, 24hr coverage from any embarassing odours.
Overall....Secret once again provides the consumer with a quality product.  Retailing at your local Walmart for approximately $2.49 - $3.49, you get good value for your money.  Even better, Proctor & Gamble (owners of Secret) also offer regular coupons to stretch those pennies even further!  In the end I think it is just a matter of personal preference.  Will I give up my solid stick Baby Powder deoderant for the new Lavender Clear Gel?  No.....but only because I LIKE the Baby Powder solid stick, not because of any failure of the clear gel.  If you haven't tried gel in a number of years like I hadn't, I highly recommend giving this new Secret Clear Gel a try.  You will not be disappointed and you will be ready to conquer the world....lavender armpits and all!
