e.l.f Makeup Mist and Set Review

I have used this product for quite a while now as I am a girl on a budget, and was in need of a setting spray. I was recommended the Elf Mist and Set by a few friends, so I thought I would give it a go.

I was impressed with the fact that it did seem to work for a decent amount of time. I will use this spray when I am wearing a medium coverage foundation, and it most often keeps it looking good all day. However, if I do wear a full face of make up I find that it doesn't quite give the same length of staying power.

Some people find the scent very off-putting, but I personally don't mind the smell. I find the spray also very refreshing and very nice to spray on my face on a hot day.

I would recommend this product to anyone who is wearing a low-medium coverage of make up. Hopefully the smell doesn't put too many people off this product.

It is super affordable, and does the trick pretty well,

This was my first setting spray, I brought it from Kmart for $10 and was excited to spray it on my face as I am always having trouble with my foundation not staying put.

I have just read some of the reviews on this product, saying it smelt like ... well ... bad things. But honestly, I thought it smelt nice and fresh when I sprayed it on my face.

The product comes out nice and evenly, which is defiantly a plus and it doesn't feel harsh or 'tightening' like some other sprays I have read reviews on.

However, I don't feel like it increased the life of my foundation, I would still turn into an oily mess. But I did end up using up the whole bottle (very small bottle I must add, but it did last for quite a long time.)

I think if I didn't have oily as heck skin I would like this product a lot more, maybe just as a refreshing spray throughout the day.

For it's price I think it is a pretty decent product. I would recommend the spray to my friends, depending on their skin type of course.

This is a reasonable product. Good price, works pretty well and doesn't smell overly strong. Packaging is a bit dull. I did find this helps my make up last for a few extra hours.

I find this really handy when I am running low on funds and need something fast, I also take this with me when i am getting ready at friends places or for a weekend away as I'd rather loose this compared to something more expensive ( eeeek ) but it always does the job right!

So I ordered this (in a bit of an ELF haul) from iHerb, which was a lot of fun. It came all wet so I think it may have leaked a little bit?

Aside from that, this setting spray is really good. It doesn't come out too wet (and then doing the opposite by pulling the makeup off!) and I genuinely think that it really helped to keep my makeup on for longer. I would recommend it to others that don't have a setting spray and want to try something out because it's so affordable but the reason I wouldn't try it again is just because I've heard great things about other setting sprays that I think I might invest in next time.

All in all it's a great spray and it truly works so worth a shot!

First ever makeup mist I have tried.

When I first got this, the packaging was very sticky and wet.. I didn't open this till about 2 weeks after when it all dried up. Not a good first impression.

The first time I used it, it felt very nice and it did help my makeup last the whole day. It was also very refreshing. Once the mist was dry it helped my makeup not rub onto my clothes, etc, which was brilliant because this was a big problem for me. I got this for cheap on iHerb, which is always a plus.

On the down side, it made me break out a little..

The first time I used this I thought that it did a great job but the more I used it the more my opinion changed. The smell of the mist is not very nice which has kind of put me off using it as I don't want to being spraying smelly water onto my face. I would class this more as a refresher spray than a setting spray, its nice to spray on a hot day to keep yourself feeling fresh if you don't mind the odd smell. I don't believe that it set my make up any longer than if you did not use it. I have had no problems with my spray bottle.

For the last few years I have been using the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray, which I love, except it's not cheap so I went hunting for a cheap alternative. I saw that the Elf one had some good reviews (and some bad) but thought I would give it a go.

Maybe it's not fair to compare it to All nighter, but I was just pretty disappointed with this product. It's quite a small bottle so doesn't last all that long. It also seems to spray out quite big drops so your face can actually feel quite wet afterwards, and takes a while to dry. The packaging looks and feels cheap. I also don't really feel like it makes my makeup last too much longer than usual.

If you're looking for a cheap setting spray, give it a go. But if you're after something to make your make up last all day and night then you should probably look elsewhere.

i didnt like this product as much as i enjoyed the other elf products i have tried. I prefer a matte finish to my makeup and this product gives it a dewy almost shiny finish. Just personal preference. it also has an odd smell, not plesent yet not unplesent

This was my first setting spray I tried and I thought that it was a nice soothing spray and made my makeup less matte. The holding power for this I found that it didn't really help much at all. The mist came out nice and it did feel very refreshing. I wouldn't buy this again as I thought it didn't hold my makeup at all.
