e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set Review

Found this at kmart and thought I'd give it a try, for $10 was pretty happy with the result.

It smells nice and fresh and I like putting it on. The spray bottle is a little too harsh as in its more of a spray than a mist onto your face.

I found that for my skin/makeup it worked really well and kept my makeup in place all day.

The only small negative I found with this is that as it is such a strong amount of product being sprayed on I sometimes get a bit of mascara coming off under my eyes immediately after as result.

When I was given this It was my first experience with a setting spray. I always saw on Youtube girls using a setting spray. They were always more "High End" products though. I was looking forward to trying it out for the first time. I knew I needed a setting spray as in the warmer months the makeup just melted off my face.

This setting spray is good for the price. Once applied my makeup survives the whole day which is the main aim of the game.

I felt it was weird by spraying my face after makeup had been applied. I always let it dry properly though. I must say the green tea and cucumber acts as a way to cool the skin down naturally in this spray and It didn't play up with my sensitive skin. Worth a try!

For the price, it's a decent setting spray and I use it primarily when I want my every-day makeup look to last a bit longer. For a night out or a special occasion, I'll usually use a slightly more high-end setting spray. Definitely apply mascara after, otherwise it will smudge. My favourite things about the spray is that it doesn't smell strong, is alcohol free, and feels quite refreshing.

I enjoyed using this budget setting spray and I thought it did a relatively good job. It would keep my makeup in place for a good part of the day, longer than if I wasn’t using the most for sure. It didn’t last all day, but if you just give yourself another spritz it definitely refreshes your look. Pretty happy with the size of the bottle and how it mists (for lack of a better word) onto your face.

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!

Very cheap and very effective. It keeps my makeup on all day and gives me a lovely dewy look to my skin. I have a sensitive face and this doesn't irritate it at all. It is very refreshing to spray on and contains nice ingredients like aloe and cucumber, so in summer when I inevitably get sunburnt this will probably be very soothing.

When I first got it, it was wet and sticky and I hadn’t even opened it. I thought that it might have been because it was shipped out to me from Iherb, but a couple friends who had purchased this from kmart told me that there’s was also really wet.

It comes in a nicely sized spray bottle which is black, very sleek looking, making it appear expensive. Who doesn’t like that? It’s also a perfect size to carry around - as I like to do.

It’s also really watery when you spray it on your face. Probably because of the nozzle. A crap load of product came onto my face, making the face look really wet, so much that I could actually see droplets on my face, and I was worried about it actually smearing my makeup, or not drying and me having to wipe it off and do my makeup again because it wasn’t absorbing.

But within about 5 minutes, it completely dried on my face. It made my makeup last all day - which is brilliant. It also made my face feel really fresh.

Because I have really oily skin, I hate the feel of foundation on my skin, but this coated it, and made it feel like I wasn’t wearing any foundation at all.

It doesn’t really have a scent to it, but if you smell it up close it smells really bad though, but it fades really easily which is good.

I like to use it as a face freshener throughout the day, even when I’m not wearing makeup. I have to do a bit of walking to get to uni/work and I’m working up a sweat by then, and feel really gross. Just a couple sprays of this and I feel like I’ve washed my face! So good! Makes it perfect for summer!

I have had this setting spray for months now and it is only just running out! This setting spray is great for setting my makeup and Keeping it in place.\ The product comes out very quickly from the bottle and sprays on quite wet to the face, so it pays to keep the bottle arms length away. The one problem I find with this setting spray is that it tends to smudge my winged eyeliner. This is only with some of my liquid eyeliners so I guess it comes down to the liner, not the spray.\ I find using this once in the morning sets my makeup for the whole day which is great because I usually don't have time for touch ups! \ Another way that I love to use this setting spray is to enhance eyeshadows. They become so much more intense in colour and stay in place the whole day! I have also just started using this spray to blend in and set concealer under my eyes. This creates such a flawless finish, it's my favourite way to apply concealer now.\ It does take one or two sprays of this product to set your makeup, but for the price it doesn't really matter. This spray is so affordable and I find iherb sells it at the lowest price. Love this product and I will continue to use and repurchase it!}

I bought this as I needed a setting spray and was on a budget. I see a lot of people have an issue with the smell but I can barely smell it at all! I used to love a matte finish but I bought this is 'Dewy' and am now a convert. I give my face a fair few sprays and then pat it down gently with my fingers and I find that does the trick. It just makes my base look super natural and like I don't really have much makeup on at all. As for staying power, it's definitely better than wearing NO setting spray. It doesn't keep as well as the bottle claims but I'm still happy. If I have more money I'll give the Skindinavia a try, but on a shoestring, this does the trick.
