e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set Review

One of my friends gifted me this a few years back now as she hated it. I didn't have high hopes for this due to her experiences but I figured i'd give it a go. This ELF makeup setting spray is one of the worst i've ever used. It does nothing, it just leaves your face feeling wet. While packaging isn't a big deal, this is cheap looking and feeling and is unattractive - combined with how average this product is, don't waste your money.

My word for this product would be ‘meh’ which means average or less than. I picked this up off I herb for really cheap. Was actually my first setting spray to ever use. I find that it just leaves my face feeling wet and doesn’t actually keep my makeup lasting longer. Would I buy it again? No Would I recommend? Maybe because you know know maybe someone else would really like it.

This product is designed to set your makeup so it stays on your face longer. I'm not sure if this really makes any difference, not a major one anyway. It is super refreshing when you put in on, but don't spray it too close to your face because it has quite a powerful spray to it. The biggest mistake I made with this was putting in on after my mascara was applied, my mascara ended up on my checks and the spray kind of set it on and I had to take a layer of foundation off to get the mascara off my cheeks (fail!). I don't really see the benefits of this product, my foundation stays on just as well without it.

I am in love with elf and think majority of their products are fab and at a great price too. This spray is extremely refreshing- with vitamins and aloe as well . Fab for on a hot day or on a flight when you need to refresh . I do think it helps set your makeup as well- after a few seconds of it sinking in it looks really good and helps it stay put :)

I only use this for times I really want my makeup to last but I do believe it makes a difference.

I like to spritz on after applying powder to set my foundation and remove any excess powder. Sometimes I will spritz on mid day just to refresh my skin.

Packaging is nice and simple, I really like the aloe vera scent!

I really love this. It's such a great, affordable product, it smells great and it helps my makeup last all day. I use this pretty much every day after I've applied my makeup and also during the day when I feel like refreshing.

Sometimes I think I expect too much out of cosmetics. I read the reviews and purchased this thinking I had found something to stop my makeup wearing off after 8 hours but I didn't.

I honestly think this product is not suited to those of us with slightly oily skin as I am having limited success - it seems to work on the colder days we are having now, but I purchased at the end of summer, hoping it would eliminate that shine you get at the end of the day and the patches that wear off around your chin and its just not happening. Come 2 O'Clock and my makeup just looks shiny.

Good points, its cheap as chips on iHerb and applies easily and doesn't smell bad at all. You can also see at a glance how much is left in the bottle.

as soon as i put this on i feel like my whole face is slipping off and it made my face itch, i really didn't like the smell. i will be sticking to hair spay from now on haha

Loved this product. For the price you pay it's a pretty good deal. It has a gentle fragrance that's not intrusive.

I have heard a few good things about this spray and when I saw it in the shop for $10 I thought it would be great to try. The first time I used it, I had to get used to the feeling as it takes a few minutes to dry and set. I was walking around fanning my face to make it dry. After it set, I found it made my face look smooth and didn't take the natural look away. It made my makeup stay for ages! When I was removing my makeup that night I realized how well it stayed on. I have a few foundations that don't last a long time so I am excited to see if this spray makes them last longer! And for $10 I think it does really well for me!
