BzzAgent - Free samples to test

Just tested the Sure Cotton and less than impressed it hits the skin as a thick powder which instantly falls all over the floor! Won't be using that one again, so will just test the Crystal Invisible Diamond can.

try giving the can a good shake before you spray...that sometimes stops the white powder effect....

It had a very good shake prior to use!

This is my regular deodorant, and i've never had an issue with it doing that, guess it doesn't like being in a compressed can. I have it to test too; I'll let you know how I get on.

UPDATE: My can was fine. It actually sprayed in a much more controlled fashion than the large bottles (I usually lose half the spray to the room behind me).

Sure always leaves white marks, even invisible Sure - I've been using Right Guard Invisible which is the only deodorant I've tried that does not leave any white marks at all - most of my clothes are dark colours so its essential for me

As well as giving it a good shake the other thing I would recommend is making sure that your underarms are BONE DRY before spraying. I've had this before when I've not quite dried under there properly (even worse if you've not shaved for a few days and there's a few little hairs there to trap moisture :eek:). The white power will more than likely be the particles from the spray joining with the moisture and going bezerk! (So more likely to happen with the non invisible formulas I think, as when they leave white marks that's what this is from...) I *think*. Worth another shot anyway when you're sure you're bone dry.

Really no point using deodorant unless you are dry and the second product I had worked without issue. This was no small amount of powder that hit the skin it was big clumps. I dislike messy deodorant or one that leaves white marks.

I received my Bzz kit for McCains a couple of days ago, and today went to Tesco to use the voucher which gives a free packet.

However, the till assistant refused to accept it, she was pointing at the screen and saying it couldn't be used, suggesting I use another supermarket, as it wasn't valid at Tesco.

She eventually called over a manager who reluctantly decided to accept it, but only at value £1.75, not the full cost of the McCains product, which was on offer at £2.

The assistant said it isn't worth bringing in any more McCains vouchers, as they had only refunded this one as a one off, and wouldn't do so again.

Her whole tone was domineering and patronising, and very embarrassing. Usually Tesco assistants are friendly and helpful, but she was awful.

Have others' McCains coupons been accepted at Tesco?

I mentioned in my post on Wednesday that they are only worth £1.75.

Postman just delivered the deodorants and McCain jackets voucher
I got Sure Cotton Ultra Dry (which is what I usually buy so i'm happy) and Crystal Invisible Diamond.

The McCain jackets voucher is for a maximum of £1.75, so if your store isn't doing them for that price you'll have to pay the difference. You can also only use them on packs of two.

It sounds like you tried to use the voucher on the pack of 4 which is on offer for £2 at Tesco atm, which isn't what the voucher is for.

I think Tesco only had the large size pack, and I automatically assumed it was for that. Neither the assistant nor the manager picked up on it, which I would have expected them to.

Thanks for comments, much appreciated.
