This is an added extra I popped onto an iHerb order-I had seen it on YouTube a few times and thought I'd give it a shot. It is quite a small, square shaped black spray bottle. When I have finished my makeup application I spritz this on. The spray is not overly fine and misting- I notice spots of liquid in my face after using this, almost like bits of large glitter, though after a minute or two it dries. I use powder to set my face so I like to use this after to soften the powdery look, I sometimes feel like the powder makes my face hairs more noticeable and the spray seems to eliminate that problem. It says it has Aloe, Green Tea and other nutrients but I cannot say that I noticed any additional benefits from these. My makeup lasts all day- I always use a mist of some sort at the end of my makeup application so I can't really compare it to not using a mist, but it does just as well as any of the other brands I use- loccitane, Skinn, Mario Badescu, dermalogica and even the Evian spray.

I can't lie, this is the only makeup mist/setter that I have tried - I am a little lazy for everyday makeup and really just hope it will last the work day. This is my second bottle of this product and for the price, I think it is a great option!
I usually spray this lightly over my powder foundation to take away the 'powdery' look. It has a light scent and feels nice on your skin. I believe it does set my make up for a day at work; I don't notice my makeup falling or smudging throughout the day and it keeps my makeup from looking dry. Quite frankly, it does the job for what I need!
I am sure there are better makeup mists/setters but for the price, I think this is a fabulous option!
Tips: Great value for money. Spray at an arms length away.
I found this product at Kmart recently and decided to give it a go. I thought I couldn’t really go wrong with the price. This setting spray is good at keeping my eye make-up on and my eye make-up doesn’t smudge half as much when using this. You need to make sure you don’t spray too much of it though and try not to spray it too close to your face. If you spray it too close to your face, you’ll end up with a really wet feel and then it doesn’t feel like it’s setting. It’s better to keep it almost at arm’s length, then spray. I can’t really tell if it keeps my foundation on for longer, possibly not, but it really does set my eye make-up, I’m positive about that. In addition, it contains some nice ingredients and some vitamins, and it’s alcohol-free. Not bad at all for the price, and I reckon you could pay a lot more for a setting spray and be a bit disappointed. I give it four kisses overall.
Tips: Don’t spray it too close to your face.
This is cheap so i didnt mind that it didnt do much. This comes in a small plastic spray bottle, this is easy to use and i spray all over my face and hair. No staying power changes in my make up, nice fresh feeling but no visible results. This is nice to use throughout the day as a daily refresher spritz but would not reccomend to use as a "locking" spray for make up.
This product is is supposed to be used to set makeup however the mister isn't fine enough so it could make ur makeup run. Don't despair though as its still a handy product. This is great to use as a primer when using tinted moisturizer. Its light weight and works well this way. I also spray a little on an old mascara wand to run through my brows and over mascara to keep it in place and smudgeproof. This can be used to refresh makeup midday or to correct over powdered skin. Its hardly scented and mice and refreshing. This is available at I herb too so dnt pay nzs ridiculous prices.
Tips: If you have a empty Mac bottle switch this into it. The mister on the Mac bottles is finer so better for direct spraying without streaks.
Loved this product. For the price you pay it's a pretty good deal. It has a gentle fragrance that's not intrusive.
Tips: Make sure you spray at least 30cms away from your face, otherwise it does go a bit blotchy.
I won this spray in a Facebook competition but this review is my own opinion.
I've really been enjoying using this spray, it's really won me over from when I first started using it.
First off, the packaging is nice and simple. It's just a simple black bottle with a spray top. The spray mists out pretty evenly whih i like rather then squirting out. This is only a 60ml bottle. It is cheap to purchase but I do find with some elf products, that they are quite small sizes so that is something to Keep in mind if you are price checking things out.
This product has a very strong scent, when I first tried it out, I was actually worried that it had gone off but it seems to just be how it is supposed to smell. I wasn't planning on using it after the first time but it was the only setting spray I had and my dry skin really needs it after I apply powders to keep from looking cakey. I can happily say that after a couple of weeks usage, i stopped noticing The smell and it just smells kind of fresh and natural to me now.
I like to use this after I've applied all my face products but before my eye makeup so my mascara etc won't run. I do like to use a lot of this spray so my face goes kind of wet but I find it dries pretty quickly. This gives my face a slightly dewy look and helps soften any powdery bits if I've accidentally applied to much. I think it does help a little bit to Keep my makeup lasting throughout the day.
I've only been using my bottle for about 3 weeks and there is just over a quarter left. I think a months worth is pretty good value especially with how much I use. I will definitely re buy this product, I'm planning on getting a few bottles next month.
Tips: If you really hate the smell, try and stick with it to see if you get used to it. Luckily the smell fades really quickly after applying so you won't smell it for Long!
A few spritzes of this after makeup is applied helps my foundation not melt too bad and it also stops it wearing away so fast! Have only tried in winter so far and this is the first setting spray i have tried so I am impressed for a begginer!
Tips: Puchused off Iherb.com for around $6nzd I think. Dont apply too much or it feels weird on the skin
First ever finishing spray use so nothing to compare to but I like the smell and how it makes my skin feel smooth and fresh and awake. By the end of the day my makeup hadn't really budged though they cold be my primer also helping, but my skin feels smooth and more hydrated than usual and its less oily.
I call it a success especially for the low pricenof $10 at Kmart. Look forward to trying others
This product is the first setting spray I ever used and I have to say, for how cheap it is, it sure does its job. After applying foundation, powders etc, this product does really well for making it stick and last all day. It does however take a while to dry and set in due to the most coming out in rather large droplets. But once it is set it, it leaves you with a dewy finish. This is definitely a product that you can rely on to keep your makeup fresh and looking perfect ever during a night out in town.
Highly recommended for those who are on a budget but need that extra bit of help keeping it on all day.
Tips: Apply at arms length so it doesn't apply too thickly and leave marks in your foundation. And also do a test spray just to make sure it is working well before applying.
