Dove Pure Antiperspirant Deodorant Review

Product Talk by Nuffnang

I got some Dove freebies in the mail a few days ago which included the Dove Pure anti-perspirant deodorant spray and roll on :) How exciting! I love trying new things, especially when they are free hehe :P


When i need to use deodorant for super hot and sweaty days, i use one from Nature's Gate and one from Thursday Plantation which is organic.
So i'm very conscious about using a deodorant that is clean feeling and doesn't contain a million nasty things.

One thing i love about Dove is their moisturizing cream bar. My mum has stocked the house with these soaps since i was young so when i first used a 'normal' bar of soap, i realised how plasticy and filming it was. I could still feel a plasticy layer on my skin even when i washed it off! I decided to never sway away from Dove when it comes to soap ever again.
So when the first thing i noticed on the deodorant was the 1/4 moistursing cream logo i was super happy.
The deodorant also contains NO Fragrance, Parabens, Colourants or Alcohol! L is allergic to alcohol so he could definitely use these! :D This is probably safe to use on smelly kids too? :P



Both have no scent at all! I am shocked. Whenever i think of deodorant i have memories of being back in high school, in the sports change rooms with 20 other girls, all spraying and rolling on their deodorants and that musky powdery smell overwhelmed me.
They're also hypoallergenic and is suppose to last 48 hours. Who doesn't take a shower in 48 hours?! I guess if you were ever stuck in a situation where being smelly would be totally embarrassing, then you'll be glad your deodorant lasted 2 days lol

I'm not a fussy person but i'm picky when it comes to deodorant. A lot tend to leave white clumps if you spray too close and some smell so strong. When i tested the spray i was surprised at how light it felt and of course the lack of smell. I even showed my brother who couldn't stop spraying it to try and detect a smell. There is a subtle scent though which my sister says smells like tissues xD The roll on is super creamy and light like a water gel. It feels like they disappear on the skin and you wouldn't even know it was on. It's nice to know i've got that extra protection even when it feels like nothing is there.

So when i finally get my lazy ass to start working out, i will stock up on these for sure! I think these would be perfect to bring to the gym because you can spray heaps of this on and no one will complain about the smell!
I love when brands come out with products that are good for you, it just shows how health and wellbeing is being considered now in our consumerist world :) I love how Dove has so many sensitive skin and unscented products now. They've been around so long, i tend to forget about the brand when there is so much new and flashy brands coming out and i always walk pass their section. But in the end, it's the products you grew up with and are still around today that listen to what it's customers want. I can't wait to see what else they will have in the future :D

Thursday Night Haul :) Revlon @ David Jones; Oroton 50% off; Colette 50% off; etc etc

I thought i was going to keep at it but i have failed posting consistently! But never mind about that :)
The weather is awful in Sydney today and the only thing i want to do tonight is to take a hot shower and snuggle up into bed with some treats.
So since i won't be out shopping as i usually do, i shall post about my recently spendings hehe

A really good deal at the moment is Revlon at David Jones :)
They have 30% off foundations, mascaras, eyeliners from what i recall. And when you spend up to $39.95 you get a bonus gift pack! The gift pack is awesome too. The shades in it are very everyday shades that everyone can use :)



I definitely did not need anything but whenever i see gwp i get excited. And the sales girl was trying hard to push the sale yet knew to keep her space so i decided why not. It didn't cost that much until i spotted one of those DJ deluxe sampler bags and thought it was a new one. The girl said there was a better one and she went away for a bit to get it. And when i saw it, i realised it was the one i already had but she really went out of her way to get it so i just bought it anyways which i regretted once i got home because i really don't have space for more products!

Anyways! I went home and read lots of bad reviews for the foundation which made me sad :( I've used it twice since and it's not too bad. It spreads nicely on my skin and seems to stay ok with powder on top. The only thing to i worry about is that it is very shiny! You definitely should powder over this one.
Coverage is just medium which i don't mind since i've tried horrible foundations with the 'light converage' meaning it won't cover sh*t at all so why put it on your face lol
I'm super curious to try the new mascara and the lipstick. And the lip liner is a good nude shade!

Moving on...


My new oroton key/coin purse! I've been looking for a key pouch to keep in my handbag as i'm worried it will scratch up my Prada wallet. Also for when i finally get a fancy handbag, i would die if my keys scratched it up. So with Oroton having a 50% off sale, i got this for $45 with the RRP$95 :) I love how soft and squishy the leather is. I'm not a super fan on the style but i do love the raspberry colour!
Currently i'm using it more for lip products than keys xD

Talking about fancy handbags... My current bag broke and i've resorted to using an older bag which works but i've been browsing online constantly for a new bag.
This is the bag i'm lusting over right now.

Chanel bag that will never be mine lol

From what i recall it was $4270! I just cannot bring myself to pay that much for a bag. I'm at the age where i should get a nicer bag. I'm use to using just that ONE bag now. But even if i used this for 10 years straight, do i really want to carry something that expensive around? I love the slouchy style because i want to be able to throw it around and get use out of it. But for that price? I will think hard before i make any rash decisions lol

I've added 2 new 'dainty' necklaces to my collection recently and i super love them.
Both are from Fossil. The first one i've been eyeing for weeks and i have now confirmed rose gold looks pretty good on me :)


Apologies for the bad shot. I took this while waiting in traffic and as the necklace glistened in the sunlight i couldn't help but admire how beautiful it was. I tried to take a photo but it failed because i have fat fingers lol

Next up is a double pendant necklace :) L prefers this one more and doesn't really like the rose gold one. I love the small heart on this and didn't realise it was double pendant until we untangled them and realise it was connected! However what i love about this is the chains can connect and disconnect from each other! This lets me just wear the tiny heart by itself or together. It looks lovely on :)



They both have 'STEEL' labelled on the clasps. So i wonder if it's just a steel chain or does that include the pendant also? I hope it's the whole necklace as i love the designs so much and it cost a lot more than fashion jewellery so i want to be able to keep it forever.


My new black/gold bangles by Olivia Welles. I purchased once from the brand and i loved the quality so i splurge a little the second time and got a few necklaces as well.

I love all the designs. They are suppose to be gold plated so i really hope they are because i wore the necklace in the top left corner and a girl asked if i got it from Colette which made me sad.

A few days later Colette had their 50% off jewellery sale and i found the same necklace design in there but in a gunmetal colour! It was down to $10 and i decided i needed to buy it too to feel like i wasn't totally ripped off.

I got a few other goodies too :)

I also got some stuff from Belle Noel! I've been wanted one of their glam rock necklaces for the longest time. I didn't get the one i've been wanting but they did have another one which was quite lovely too.

This is an ankle bracelet but i'm just going to wear it on my wrist anyways :)


I super LOVEEEE this necklace. I wasn't too sure at first but i've worn it a few times and it does look very glam :)




Necklace and earrings which i'm not too keen on. They don't look as shiny and glassy as they did in online stock photos and they're so oversized. Not sure if i'll ever wear them but they weren't worth the return shipping cost and i could probably gift them away if i never end up wearing them hehe

What else have i bought lately...

lol L got this for me. Everytime we go into lush he always shows me this as a joke. And i totally don't even need it. But i started seeing lots of raves about this as an amazing firming cream online and i really wanted to try it on my body. So i made him get it for me. I have not tried it yet because i'm lazy but i will get around to it eventually hehe



I've always wanted to be effortlessly rocker chic styled but it actually does take a lot of effort hunting down comfy leather(ette) pants.
So i opted for leggings instead! I found 2 pairs from Myer by T by Bettina Liano. I don't have a picture of the plain leatherette ones but i do of this snake like skin one :) It just looks like a shiny black from far away which is what i like. I've worn it so many times already and have realised this sheds tiny flakes of black stuff everywhere! I still love it though :)
I was having a discussion with my sister the other day about how jeans aren't even considered to be comfortable anymore. And it is so true with the super tight skinny jeans that's on trend theses days. And the button up part is always way too tight when every other part fits good! I've purchase so many jeans which don't fit right or are way too tight this past year. I shall only purchase leggings from now on! They pretty much look like pants these days anyways right? lol
I feel like this is something a fat person would say lol

Next is some random make up ordered online a while back! I haven't touched any of this stuff to date! I really need to stop buying :(


I needed a nail strengthener and was in Priceline around a week or 2 ago and saw Sally Hansen had an awesome GWP! Spent $20 or more to get this super gift!
I got the Maximum Shield Treatment and i needed some nail polish remover anyways so with those two i qualified for the gift :) Look at the amount of goodies you get! Simply amazing. The hoarder in me was going to go pick this up again 2 days later but they were all gone :(



Last but not least is my giant order of baked good candles!


These take up heaps of space so i hope i get to use them soon! They smell so yummy.

Oops nope, i found more photos of make up :)
Lastly is my Adorebeauty.com.au Order hehe

I became slightly obsessed with the Clarins Brush on Perfector, so when i saw the same sold out kit on the website for even cheaper than in stores i had to have it!

To qualify for free shipping i also got a Lancome holiday set. It came in a super pretty gold glitter clutch.

Inside contained 2 Rogue in Love lipsticks in 353B 272N and 132M

I love the super luxe packaging :)

Ok i think that wraps it up for now. Until next time when more spending is done hehe :)
