imageA new Lavender & deodorant find !!!

If you follow my blog for a while you know by now that I just love Lavender !!  I am also always searching for products that have this amazing ingredient but that also work well too ! As you know finding  a natural deodorant that works and keeps you smelling good all day is hard to come by !

In the recent weeks , checking out one of my favorite shopping sites   The Choosy Chick online store , I came across Pachy Deodorant By brand  Rustic MAKA !! A new line that just arrived at The Choosy Chick site . I am always look for a switch up deodorant specially a stick one  . And when I seen Pachy I was like YESS I NEED TO HAVE YOU IN MY LIFE !!

I order the Calming Fields ( lavender ) scent among other selective scents that you can pick form at The choosy Chick  online Store or at www.rusticmaka.com . Right away as it arrived It went into my travel bag as I was heading For A Night Of Green Beauty at Chicago !!!

Test Drive …. In Chicago !

It comes in a variety of scents including a non-scent one .  This is a natural deodorant  that is made with organic and vegan ingredients ! And made right here in the USA & its Handcrafted  &  its even cruelty-Free !!ALL Made by the brand Rustic MAKA!  Which the name  MAKA & each  letters stands for all the ladies behind the brand .

Smooth Texture & a heaven scent of Lavender fields !!

The texture of this deodorant is smooth without feeling like sand or rough when putting on your pitys. Since it has Shea Butter and Coconut oil it actually conduction’s the skin which is what gives it that smooth texture when roll it on  and after washing off  in the shower .

The scent is soo… soo… good love the true lavender scent yet the freshness note at the end due to the Spearmint that adds that touch . The scent is middle range not to strong or too weak . I personally love my deodorants to smell stronger as it makes me make sure that I smell good  specially on hot summer days in Chicago !!

image DID it Pass the TEST !!

I used this deodorant as mention while in Chicago summer days in August , wear it while doing morning runs and during my out about walks in the city .

Lasting scent : the scent did have a stronger lasting power and does not wear off easy as the day kept going . My under arms  smell great through the day and hold up on hot summer days in Chicago. SO YES IT PASS THE TEST !!! I am super happy & impress with the lasting power of this deodorant  specially on me as I tend to sweat a lot .

A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY …

I little goes a long way with this product , if you put to much you will feel super lavender smell .. Jejej and your under arms will feel like your sticky . The brand shows in web site how much one should be really using which I thought it was cool.

BUT………..

 The one thing I did notice  and that the brand does state about this product is that it does melt a little which cause the product to loose its solid texture when exposed to heat . When I was in Chicago it did melt on me but as soon as I put it under the cold air it be came solid again. And it did not effect its texture.  That is the only down fall of this  is that its melts but its a fixable , other then that it WORKS GREAT AND DOES THE  WORK TO KEEP ME SMELLING GOOD ALL DAY.
