Today,
I’ll be reviewing some of the deodorants from the NIVEA Antiperspirant Deodorant Spray series. I came
across this series when I was looking for an alternative to the regular stick
deodorant, since the stick would often leave white marks on my shirts. I’m not
bashing the stick deodorants and they work well for a lot of people; I still
use them myself sometimes.
NIVEA’S Invisible for Black
and White Pure:
I bought this after I saw the commercial with
that lady with the half-white-half-black dress dancing around without a care
because she had no sweat stains! No, but seriously, I was interested in seeing
how the product would work on different colored fabric and I wasn’t
disappointed. I have yet to wear a black and white shirt and test the deodorant
in that way but I can safely say that it does what it promises: no white marks
on your dark shirts and no yellow stains on your white clothes. It also feels
very light and has a very fresh smell to it. Sometimes stick deodorants would
feel a bit heavy and the smell was kind of as if I had sterilized my under arm
area, which didn’t feel all too good. And no more white stains on anything!
(YAY)
NIVEA’s Double Effect Violet
Senses:
I
picked this up because of the “avocado extracts” sign. Avocado is generally
known for giving you soothing skin, since it’s very moisturizing and can be
good for you whether you use it in facial masks, hair masks or just eating it
(^^). This deodorant promises a long lasting sense of soft skin, which I can’t
say I have put to the test. I can definitely testify as to whether it does a
good job or not in maintaining your feel of clean and fresh – and the answer is
yes. This is currently my favorite deodorant and the fact that the bottle is
purple adds some extra points (my favorite color is purple). The smell with
this one is also different: it has some flowery scent to it, which is a nice
change.
NIVEA’S Calm and Care:
I
shave my under arm area almost on a daily basis – which I don’t recommend. But
especially in the summer time, I can’t avoid it, the hair seems to grow to a
noticeable state overnight and I feel really self-conscious when heading to the
beach and the like. This deodorant helped a little with the irritation that
shaving causes, since it’s made for that as well. Its protection from sweat
lasts only for 24 hours, but the bottle is easy to throw in your bag and “touch
up” during the day if you think you need to. Its smell is similar to the Black
and White one. I have been using it
right after shaving and it seems to help sooth my skin a lot.
As
I might have mentioned before, I love products that are travel friendly. I hate
worrying about bottles breaking in my suitcase and pouring all over things
(ugh…). The NIVEA spray deodorants are great for traveling or just carrying
around with you as you’re running from place to place during the day. The only
disadvantage I would list with this series is that even the products that are
listed as “48 hours protection”, barely pass the 24 hour test. Even though I
feel sorry for the person who has to run non-stop for more than 24 hours with no
break whatsoever, it would be nice for these deodorants to be a little more
long lasting. Other than that, I find the spray deodorants to be a better replacement
to the stick, since they are overall more light and don’t leave any marks on
your clothes
