Introduction
I was shopping in Tesco recently when I spotted a shelf end which was full of cut price deodorants and body sprays. My usual brand cost £1.79 so I was delighted when I discovered that all of the featured products were priced at £1. I have been on the lookout for ages for a product which comes in a slightly smaller canister so that it will easily fit into my handbag and which won't take up too much room. In amongst the products was a rather attractive little deodorant spray which was called sure girl. I have to confess that although I have heard of sure deodorant as a brand I did not realise that they made this relatively new range. The product that I ended up purchasing was the Tropical Power version of this product.
The Product
This deodorant I am pleased to confirm was in fact an anti-perspirant spray which professed to provide 24 hour protection. One of the main reasons I purchased it was because it contained no alcohol and had been dermatologically tested. This is important certainly in my case as I have allergies and choosing the wrong products of this type in the past has resulted in my developing a rash and unsightly bumps and lumps in some cases. In addition the product was a relatively small can which contained only 100ml of the product. I am unsure however and to be more economical if you can actually get a larger version of the product. I only use mine on occasion for emergencies only when I am away from home so this small version suited my needs extremely well. I had a scan about and apparently the normal cost of this product is around the £1.49 mark, so I was pleased with my slight saving. However I think it would be expensive to use it everyday particularly in the small 100ml format.
Manufacturers Info
The manufacturers state that you cannot buy a more effective anti-perspirant aerosol for girls. Have fun without limits as apparently this spray will provide protection with long-lasting fragrances. In addition it will provide protection against wetness and odour with a light fresh fragrance.
Fragrance
The product is very 'girlie' pink and white in colour with the distinctive sure tick across the front. It has a pink cap and comes as an aerosol spray. Possibly aimed at the teenage market due to its rather funky design. As previously stated the fragrance is tropical power I sprayed this on for the first time and was surprised at how over-powering the fragrance actually was. After a bout of sneezing it died down a bit and I have to say that the spray was actually extremely pleasant. If not a little bit sweet for my liking. I therefore would not use this as my daily deodorant of choice for this reason as I prefer something a little bit more subtle. It did however have quite a crisp and floral scent to it again not my first choice. Ideal then for someone who prefers a stronger fragrance overall. I have to say I am still a bit confused as to why the makers named it 'tropical power' as I didn't personally detect anything remotely tropical about the product apart from a very small palm tree on the front of the can. The product did however live up to its promises of providing protection and lasted a good few hours. As far as the keeps you fresh for 24hours goes I unfortunately am unable to answer this question. However if I use it and get lost for a day then I will update my review!!!! Unfortunately another negative point would be the fact that I noticed a few white powder marks on my clothes after using this which was a little bit disappointing. However this could have been down to excessive spraying on my part.
Advantages
Nice packaging
Effective in providing dryness and prevents body odour

Disadvantages
Fragrance a little bit too over-powering for my liking
Leaves white marks
Expensive as is only available in 100ml canisters
Overall rating and comments
I would rate this three stars due to the fact that it does provide effective anti- perspirant protection. An acquired taste however I would recommend giving it a go particularly as it is on offer at the moment.
