Lynx Voodoo Deodrant. Ok guys I know what your thinking, it's Lynx, chances are it's going to smell cheap and tacky. But what can I say this is one of the best deodrants that have been made fo a long time as will be explained.What draws the attention to deodrants such as Lynx is not only to mask body odours but also in attempting to give the illusion that after shave is being used. We a...

All throughout my schooling, from year 7,8,9,10,11,12 as well as my first 2 years of university, i have been using an old Casio fx-82TL Calculator. Although only now as i've been getting into property economics i've needed a new calculator for complex equations, this calculator has been the best calculator i've ever owned.It's a scientific calculator with all the basic scientifi...

About 4 - 6 months ago i bought a brand new Mini Grinder/Engraver which i was going to use for porting my intakes on cars, my turbos aswell as cleaning up any metal jobs i did.  At a price of about $15 Australian, the engraver is very cheap and comes in a handy carry bag. The kit contains the engraver, about 30 - 40 tips, varying from polishing ends, to grinding stores and diamond tip cutt...

About a years or two ago I bought a cheap (what I thought was cheap) metal detector from my local Dick Smiths Electronics store. Costing about $89 Australian, the metal detector has a relatively solid plastic frame, with an adjustable arm length making it suitable for even bigger kids such as myself.   It’s very basic and only has a volume and sensitivity adjusters, with a headph...

As a uni student and a kmart employee, pen's have always been important and used on a daily basis. Back when i was younger i use to purchase the el-cheapo pen's thinking that a pen was a pen, however after writing with these, i found that every line i wrote felt stiff, sharp and would consistantly run out of ink.From that very day, i always bought packs of 15 - 20 Papermate Ball Point p...

One thing i keep getting over the years are cologne's. Sure i smell bad at times, but really who smells bad enough to have 6 or 7 types at the one time?. Well just this year i recieved an adidas pack of cologne and bodywash and deodorant. I'm sure you have all seen these packs i speak of. Well anyway, this cologne isn't much cop and should just be left or given away to a bad friend....

A good year or so ago, i purchased an Electric Radio Controlled Holden Ute from a local Hobby shop. This purchase was due to bordeom and my growing interest with cars and the drifting scene". At a price of $199, including all necessary start up gear, the car isn't a cheap purchase and i believe not suitable for anyone under the age of 18.This is simple because these cars are very delic...

As summer has been getting awfully hot here in Australia, i've been wearing more and more shorts, leading to shoes that look good in both long and short pants. As i happened to be in the local department store Target, i managed to pickup some clothes as well as a pair of Target Brand Size 10 men's shoes. As described on the label they have a synthetic lining, synthetic sole, as well as ...

 After selling my last car, I pledged to myself that I would start buying some new tools, and there is no better way then doing this by buying a new socket set. I purchased this Supertool 43 piece Imperial and Metric ½ Drive  Socket Set from my local Autobarn for the special price of $119 Australian, normally around $140. The supertool name is quite good, and from what I&...

Just a few weeks ago my girlfriend and i decided we must buy a quality air mattress for our 4 night camping holiday over early February. We both knew that what we needed was a pump up air mattress, manual pump required, as well as of course being able to hold both myself and my girlfriend, without falling off the edges of the bed. I managed to get the Intex Queen size air mattress for $37.99...

Just the other day i managed to purchase a pack of Altrex Number Plate Protectors from Kmart, normally with a retail price of $34.99 Australian, i managed to pick them up at a crazy $4!. Unlike all the other protectors, these are alot more solid, and seem to be so strong, that if on a number plate i'm sure they wouldn't break in any way.On the packaging it says:Australia's #1 Sellin...

Ok guys, i know what your thinking, "woah why does this guy keep reviewing deodorants, does he smell alot?"well don't worry, your actually wrong. Like many guys, i like to keep a collection of 4 or 5 deodorants, some anti-perspirant some not, like this one, "Dark Temptation by Lynx". Well i must say this is one of a very few number of deodorants that have actually gained...

On a week to week basis, i tend to spend hrs upon hrs on fixing cars. During the process of my current project, i bought the bottom of the line, cheap, and complete clutch kit possible. Once installed, the clutch feels absolutely amazing, with very minimal movement before the car is locked into a gear. As part of the clutch kit, i recieved a strong clutch plate, new clutch disk, as well as all ...

As a team member at Kmart, i've always known what brands were around for pretty much everything. However batteries are one of those things where i always say "No, cheap brands are just as good". After buying a set of 8 or 12 cheapo batteries, as well as a pack of 4 duracell batteries, i set to the task of comparrison. I put the battieries in my Nintendo ds, and noticed that the Du...

Not too long ago my sister and i went shopping and bought a wallet for myself, which was meant to be a birthday present. The wallet was bought from City Beach, an Australian surf shop with all the brand name products. At a price of $20, the wallet isn't too expensive, with a red and white element pattern, with a black, tri fold inside.The wallet held all my cards nicely, as well as providin...

As most young men are, i've always been into working the hair a bit. Maybe not as much now, but the V05 Extreme Style Texturising Gum has made my basic styling routine a whole lot easier. Sold at around $6.99 Australian, the gum is reasonably cheap, and can style any kind of hair, without making the hair too greasey (as done by most waxes).Being a gum whenever you style your hair only a sma...

As my girlfriend and i bought some dinner the other night from the local fish & chip shop, i noticed a large amount of water comming out from under my car. After topping up the radiator and the overflow tank, i managed to get the car home and found out that the seals on my waterpump had failed and needed a replacement. I tried many local auto shops, however many shops sell only the expensiv...

Quite some time ago I bought a mini mag light from Kmart for $4.99. The torch is about 8cm long, with a diameter of 2 or so cm. Made from durable high quality steel, the torch is built tough on the outside, with a strong 9 Led light that can outshine even the biggest or torches, all from 3 small AAA batteries.   From what I’ve found, the torch is very handy on those odd toad hunt...

Here it is, one more of my many fragrances and deodorants that just had to be reviewed. I recently recieved this as a gift from my sister, it also came with a body wash (which not pictured), however can be sold seperately. Although smelling beautifully and lasting alot longer then expected, this cologne has really let me down. As with the majority of colognes and perfumes, this one was no diffe...
