I would like to try the Mitchum advance invisible solid!
Brilliant article. I have always been dumbstruck when I enter the deodorant isle. This article has helped me a lot with would best suit me.
Mitchum gets my vote anyway. I have been using this for years and it had never disappointed. Thanks for an informative read
Mitchum all the way. It does not transfer and has not made marks on my black clothing. It just takes a couple of minutes to dry but it works.
Many roll ons are deceiving. The shield black and white is one of them.. leave white residue under your arms.
I find Dove my favorite, the smell lingers a long time.
Thank you so much. The Avon Aspire Essence sounds lovely.
I personally love Nivea. It smells clean and fresh and not too overpowering.
Great info!
Great info. I will try the Try Avon Aspire Essence Roll On next. Nice categories!
