Tide PODS Free & Gentle

I was chosen by BzzAgent to try Tide PODS Free & Gentle

Pop a Tide Pods Free & Gentle Laundry Detergent Pac in the washer for a perfectly premeasured amount of laundry detergent in any size load, temperature or machine. Taking care of sensitive skin doesn't have to be hard. Each individual pac of Tide Pods Free & Gentle Laundry Detergent fights stains, brightens fabrics and is specially designed to include zero dyes and perfumes. Simply pop one into your wash to get an outstanding Tide clean in any size load, temperature or machine. For a simple, worry-free laundry experience that's gentle on skin, Tide Pods Free & Gentle laundry detergent will keep your family looking and feeling great.

Here are my results: 

PROS:
No need to measure soap, just thow it in the washing machine.  Works great on stains, just like regualr Tide.

CONS:
It left my clothes with an unpleasent odor that I have never experienced with any other brand of sensitive laundry detergent.

VERDICT:
I will never buy this product. Even after rewashing my clothes with the Tide Pods to make sure it wasn't a human error, my clothes still had an unpleasant odor.  I went straight back to my normal detergent. 

Secret Outlast® Completely Clean Clear Gel

I was chosen by BzzAgent to try Secret Outlast® Completely Clean Clear Gel

Secret Outlast Clear Gel keeps you fearless, fresh and in the clear all day long and beyond

Here are my results: 

THE CONS:

First off, I was a little dispointed that it is a gel.  I have never been a big fan of gel deodorant.  There is just something very unwonderful about the cool, sopping wet feeling that you get when it's applied.

Secondly, as usual I have noticed there is no regulation with the gel.  Sometimes you give it a few 'clicks' and you get nothing, so you give it a few more and immediately regret that decision since it is now over flowing.  The next time you use it you give it a 'click' and you get JUST the right amount.

THE PROS:

It works great!  I had no end of the day odors, even after playing Ultimate Frisbee for an hour in 95 degree weather.  It lasts!


VERDICT:
IF you can get over the soppy wet gel feeling, then this is a great product.  Long lasting, great scent, and a good price.
***I did NOT put it to the 48 hour test.  I reapplied it the next morning each time with my normal routine.

Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle

Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle Razor

I was chosen by BzzAgent to try the NEW Schick Hydro Silk TrimSyle.

The Schick Hydro Silk® TrimStyle® razor combines our hydrating Hydro Silk razor with a waterproof bikini trimmer for all your leg and bikini area needs.
The razor features five Curve Sensing® blades to provide incredible closeness while reducing skin irritation. With just a flip of the handle, the Trimstyle® transforms into a waterproof bikini trimmer, which can be used in and out of the shower for convenient bikini maintenance.

Here are my results.

PROS:
*Very silky smooth shave from the razor.  It is the same quality as the original Hydro Silk (Which I am a fan of)
*Waterproof Trimmer
*Trimmer has 3 Settings
*Trimmer works GREAT!  Better than other trimmers I have tried in the past.
*It's a Duo, two tools in one!

CONS:
*No guard on the razor.  I stand by my opinion that there should really be a removable guard. I was nervous about some how cutting myself with the razor end while using the trimmer.
*The razor seems bulky while using it.


In the end, I would buy this product.


***UPDATE***
 Two Months Later:
I have dropped the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle countless times and it still works!  Nice.  I have also full submerged it by accident and it did not effect it one bit.  It TRULEY is waterproof!

Also the bulkiness did take some getting used to.  It does not bother me now like it did when I first tried out the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle.
