White Marks Fail Moment

Sponsored Post

It has happened to all of us: White marks left from deodorant at the most inopportune time. My worse was when I was getting ready for a semi-formal event and I stupidly put on my deodorant before pulling on by new, super cute, little black dress. Dumb right?  My expression at the time was something like this:

Uh Oh

I tried to wash it off, but you know how powder deodorant is, it sticks! I thought I got it off, but just in case I didn’t, I performed some crazy contortionist  moves to try to get my dress on without it touching my arm pits.  Did I succeed? Heck no!  I ended up with white marks on the dress that wouldn’t come off. That left me going in an old dress that made me look like a recycled bridesmaid. Blech!

My moves trying to get into that dress seriously looked something like this:

 

So, Secret has a clear gel deodorant, Secret Outlast Clear Gel, that provides 48 hour odor and wetness protection with no white marks. I’m a huge fan of clear gel deodorants. In fact, I haven't used a powder deodorant in years now (beginning not long after my dress fail).  I loved Secret Outlast when I tried it. It has a good percentage of active ingredients, so it works well, and the gel is indeed clear. It also feels smoother going on than powder type deodorants.

My parents are entomologists, and my Mother has long collected dragonfly jewelry. I think that has been influential in in why I too have often been drawn to insect jewelry and accessories. The five shown here are all items on my want list. I particularly love the Kate Spade bracelet!

Makeup Wars Summer Eye Look

Affiliate Links


For this Makeup Wars, I did a summer eye look using my new Tarte Aqualilies  palette, a gorgeous collection waterproof makeup in neutral shades.  I still need to swatch and review it, so watch for that coming soon. I was headed out for an outdoor beer tasting festival and figured an eye look with some sweatproof makeup would be a good idea!

 Aqualilies for Tarte waterproof palette
The palette comes with a card that has two different looks. I did the light neutral look on the card, which was named the “Poolside Look.”

This look used the shimmery light shade Parasol on the entire eye area and then the matte taupe Sundeck (my favorite shade) on the outer half of the lid and into the crease. The blue shade, Poolside, was used as a liner. I did the look rather light since I was going to be outdoors and wanted a more natural eye look. Here it is.

On my lips is Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics lip tar in Strumpet, which I got as a set with a matching nail polish. I love this shade! It is great as a long wear product.  I’ll have a full review of it soon.

I also used the blush mixed with a bit of bronzer from the palette. Here is the overall look.
