Secret Flawless Touch (w/Olay) Conditioning Solid — 

 I don't think it works very well by a way of what its supposed to do either. Two hours after application you have to reapply or smell not so nicely. With the having to twist it everytime you use, I don't think its very cost effective either. Deodorant is just one of those things it's hard to live without. Unless you have friends who can't smell or just never sweat, it's impossible to get away without some sort of deodorant. For women, Secret is one of the brands that can't be missed. It's strong enough for a man that's made for a woman; what could be wrong? I can tell where it went wrong - the Flawless Touch. I'll admit that it was on sale when I purchased it. Two for the price of one; not a bad deal! When I brought it home and first tried it, I was a bit put off by the fact that it wasn't a solid. I brushed it off; what was I going to do? I had already opened the package. May as well use it!  I've used one entire container of it now, and I can honestly say that it is TERRIBLE. However, there usually is a plus to everything:  Easy to use style - It's not exactly hard to get more deodorant to come out. Take the container, give it a twist (or two if that's your style) and you're ready to apply. Its a reputable brand - Secret isn't the newest deodorant on the block.  According to their website, they've been around since 1956. Now, over 50 years later, they are still producing quality products.

For me, though the negatives far outweigh the positives: "Goes on clear" - LIARS! No matter how much time I give it to dry, it always ends up on my shirt as I put the shirt on. Sometimes I even notice that if I sweat, it turns it into even more of a mess. "Strong odor and wetness protection" - Sure no one notices your BO, they are too busy trying to ignore the fragrance coming from your underarms. Their scents aren't subtle.  In fact, most people notice the scent first, and not in a good way. "Smooth, lightweight formula" - In this case, lightweight means that it's easily spread around. In this case, it's supposed to mean that it won't cake to your arm pits. Guess what? If you over apply AT ALL, you're going to have caked pits. I use one click for BOTH arm pits (not one click for each) and I still end up with too much formula. However, then you get into the issue of putting on TOO LITTLE and not being covered. 

OVERALL, I would suggest looking over the Flawless Touch collection. Maybe I was a rarity and just ended up with a bum product. However, after using it for 2 months now, I can honestly say I'm very disappointed and embarrassed at the state of white streaks on my shirts.
