Works amazing! I put it in an empty face powder container (the loose powder kind with holes on top) and got a big kabuki brush and use it all over the bod on really sticky days. Also: think about wax...Read more

I'll start this review by saying, I'm a sweaty Betty. A stinky pinky. A funky punky. Then, I have the nerve to work out 4 days a week! With the aforementioned being said, I have to try 2 times as hard...Read more
