Secret Outlast Clear Gel - Not my cup of tea

I received Secret Outlast Clear Gel from BzzAgent to try for free and give my honest opinion. 
After using the outlast gel for a few weeks I just can't bring myself to like it.  I will say it definitely is great for no white marks.  Which honestly is a huge selling point.  I hate having to rub white marks off my work clothes or before I go out.  It is very annoying but deodorant is a necessity.  It is one of the few deodorants that did not leave streaks all over my clothing as I was putting it on or throughout the day/night.

The scent itself was refreshing.  It is a little strong when you first put it on but it smells good.  Throughout the day you could catch a whiff if you moved the right way.  Putting my arm around my friend one day caused her to smell it and she was very curious what I was wearing because it smelled good.  I don't believe I had any major problems with odor whenever I wore it but that is not to say that it was perfect.  I did notice if I got hot or started to sweat a little the deodorant would go from dry to not dry.  I won't say wet but it definitely wasn't dry...maybe damp.  And although I didn't necessarily smell anything I could tell it was masking something.  So there wasn't a stinky issue so much as I felt like I needed to reapply to make sure I didn't end up with a stinky issue.  Of course if I didn't sweat it worked fine.  I don't know if it protected for 48 hours but it worked for a whole day.  If I put it on in the morning (and didn't get sweaty) by the time I got home I didn't feel unfresh.  And you could still smell the strong perfume scent here and there.  Like I said its not a bad scent but it is strong. 

My only other issue with it is it went on "wet".  As in I felt like I had to hold my arms out and wait for it to dry.  Even after it "dried" my underarms felt "sticky".  It is hard to explain but it felt if I put a shirt on it would stick to my underarms.  Not something I wanted.  So I would procrastinate on getting dressed so I didn't have to worry about my clothing sticking to me before it was dry.  I wasn't a fan of this feeling at all.  So although I never had white marks or had major odor issues, my underarms felt moist which is just unpleasant.

NOTE:  I am trying to embed that picture but it isn't working....so I just uploaded it...
