A refreshing change

Experience tells me that whenever I have tried to branch out and use a different deodorant other my usual trusty one I've been disappointed. Dove Invisible anti-white marks deodorant is probably my most re purchased beauty product in the past 5 years, at least! I am sure other deodorants must be good at keeping fresh all day but what matters for me at the end of the day is the fragrance of the deodorant. Strong perfumes in general, whether in moisturisers (I am looking at you red pot of Garnier Ultralift) facial washes, eau de toilette and such will give me a headache. I don't even own any 'proper' perfumes, and anything else than 'teen' light fragrances and mists is too much for me.



However, having used the same deodorant for years has caused a build up of… boredom. I feel I am stuck in a rut, I am bored but I am scared of trying new products. So when I saw the new 'Go Fresh' additions to the Dove range, I thought it was time to make the plunge. Attracted by the gorgeous minimalistic elegant packaging of the Go Fresh range (and the 1/3 promotion) I took a gamble and went home with the Pomegranate and the Grapefuit deodorants.









And I am so glad I did.


Instead of trying to re invent the wheel and creating a totally new deodorant with an overpowering and potentially headache inducing fruity smell, Dove did something very clever: They used the same base as a 'normal' dove deodorant but enhanced with just the perfect amount of fruity notes. The deodorant smells fruity enough to differentiate themselves from the invisible one but not too strong to give you a headache or get bored just after a few uses.






I know it's just a deodorant at the end of the day but I can't tell how thrilled about these Go Fresh deodorants. I am so excited that I have been looking forward to that time of morning when I need to use my deodorant after the shower. Sad I know.







I can't tell you how these 2 go fresh deodorants perform when put in contact with dark colour clothing and if they leave white marks all over it. If I were on travels, force of habit will make me pack my trusty dove 'invisible formula' in my suitcase/overnight bag for peace of mind but for now, and like it has been for the past two weeks, I just cannot get enough of it.

Going further than Nanoblur?

Buying a new beauty product is a risk. Fact. What if it doesn't do what it says on the tin? The team at Buyapowa knows this so well and is helping us in taking a more calculated risk through buying their products on their portal, at a much cheaper price.

Just a few hours ago, they launched the sale of an anti ageing serum I have been waiting for since the same day I first heard about Nanoblur. The product is called 'Snoxin' and oh my word, does it sound promising:

Snoxin features the highest allowable concentration of the most effective anti-aging peptides come together in this advanced serum to combat all aspects of skin aging appearance, including the look of dynamic wrinkles, deeper folds, fine lines, crow’s feet, textural irregularities and sagginess. Snoxin incorporates the highest concentration of next-generation advanced peptides to target multiple aspects of skin ageing. The number and concentration of the peptides in Snoxin are higher than most luxury skincare products on the market.

While most products on the market incorporate one main anti-aging peptide to target skin aging, Snoxin incorporates multiple peptides that target aging through 3 synergistic mechanisms at once:

--- Reduced muscular contractions that lead to the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles
--- Increased collagen production through stimulating the skin’s natural processes
--- Formation of a more uniform collagen support matrix through stimulation of repair processes

I can't tell you if it really works, I have yet to try it myself and give it a go.


As with Nanoblur, Boots has the UK market exclusivity over Snoxin, and I doubt they will be offering it any cheaper than £22.99 which is the best price you can get it with Buyapowa. The recommended retail value of this product is 39 Dollars (not sure if it's Canadian Dollars or American Dollars) but the conversion rate is roughly the same and would come to £24.99, and the Buyapowa monkey is offering it for £22.99. Sweeeet!   There are only 50 available though, so don't delay if you want to get one!


     



 

Come and try the Snoxin with me and let's see if it works on our wrinkles :)
