Megababe The Smoothie Deo Deodorant // The August Review
As I was loving the under pits mask, I of course had to try the Megababe The Smoothie Deo Deodorant. We are half way through The August Review. Have any products taken your fancy?
Megababe The Smoothie Deo Deodorant – £8.00
The brand describes the product as:
“Made to bring balance to your skin’s pH and stop microbes from thriving, it’s laced with lactobacillus ferment, a healthy probiotic, that signals your skin to produce and regulate good microbes for added odour protection. We’re about to get even more science-y up in here: zinc ricinoleate breaks down and absorbs odoru without interfering with skin’s natural flora; magnesium hydroxide balances pH and fight odour-causing bacteria; arrowroot absorbs wetness; xylityl sesquicaprylate acts as a potent antimicrobial and deodoriser; triethyl citrate inhibits the sweat-producing bacteria enzyme; finally, coconut, vitamin E, jojoba and sunflower seed oils nourish, soothe and hydrate your skin for a comfortable finish”.
Pros:
- Lovely, long lasting smell.
- Compact.
- Soothing.
- Hydrating.
- Doesn’t leave white marks.
Cons:
- On the pricier side.
- Can pill under the arms.
The Verdict:
As the mask was working wonders on my underarms, I decided to try the brand’s deodorant. I am 50/50 about this. Did I love it? Yes! But was it hard to work with?…. Yes.
On hotter days, I find this would pill under my arms. I’d get little flaky bits that wouldn’t sink into the skin. Wearing dark colours, it was not a cute look.
I also find this expensive for a deodorant. But understand that the price reflects everything the brand has put into it. It has me torn. I think I’ll only pick this up when its cooler and when I have an event or trip. That way, I never have to worry about dry under arms or white marks.
As always, thanks for reading…
