Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater Review

I picked this up from Mecca a wee while ago because of the hype surrounding it. Unfortunately the only thing I liked about it was the price. Don’t get me wrong, it is ok but it’s just not worth the hype. It didn’t add any hydration to my skin, and every spritz would leave little water droplets on my face and I just wasn’t a fan. It’s lovely if you just need a freshen up during the hot summer days but that’s pretty much it.

A lot of hype around this product, and I don't know why. I've used a fair share of facial sprays, and this is one I wouldn't repurchase. I don't think it did too much at all. It's soothing, and smells nice, but that's about it. In the way of hydration, it doesn't offer a lot. Only momentarily takes away the dry and tight feeling. Maybe this would be better suited to an oiler skin type as the hydration offered is limited.

I purchased this at Mecca Maxima in Melbourne, at $14 it's a bargain! It's in a pump spray bottle that works well. It's a pale peach colored product with a water consistency. It has a subtle rose scent.

I use it all the time, on bare skin, on freshly applied make up, on hours old makeup. It's so multi purpose. It is a great, hydrating spritz for hot or dehydrating conditions. I use it as a setting spray and soften face powder. It's also great later on in the day to refresh your makeup and even when your hair can use a little freshen up ( it smells nice). this is just one of a few Mario Badescu products I've tried lately, I haven't been disappointed by any yet. Definitely recommend this one.

This bottle is simple yet that doesn't do the product justice. It's also very affordable. The spray literally spritzes across my face so delicately & has a nice fragrance. It sets my makeup, refreshes my makeup & gives my skin hydration when not wearing makeup. A great multipurpose product I would highly recommend for 1 it's affordability for the size of bottle it's price is great 2 the product works 3 non invasive delicate yet (I'll say it again ) it works :) I have combination skin type with signs of aging & this doesn't agrivate my skin 4 it prolongs the wear of my makeup.

I have been using Mario products for years and I am onto my 15+ bottle of this - it's one of my holy grails! I use this to spray my face when I wake up, to set my makeup or to just refresh my skin. I love this stuff so much and the best part is how inexpensive it is!

This product is life changing! It is so soothing on the skin and smells so beautiful. I use it when I am doing my morning or nighttime skincare, which feels so refreshing on my bare face. And I sometimes also use it when I am doing my make up as it is perfect for setting your face. If this product is not in your beauty collection, it should be!

I’ve used many facial sprays and I believe this one is THE must-have. My sister bought this from Mecca Maxima in Australia for relatively a similar price to what it sells for here in New Zealand ($17-18AUD).

I was never interested in the product because of the rose scent but I feel like there is a good balance where it’s light enough for both those that love the rosewater fragrance and those that tend to shy away from it. The frosted-like plastic is sturdy and great for travel (particularly if you pick up the smaller size which is only $10 for 118ml). I actually like the contrast of the pinky rose liquid through the packaging so you know how much you have left. Another bonus is you could potentially reuse the bottle to put in some sort of haircare concoction.

The mist is so light and has good coverage so I don't feel like a waste much product. I use this product in a number of ways - after I tone, after primer, on my brush to apply my makeup and as a setting spray. It works wonderfully even for someone who has oily skin like myself. As with any facial spray I keep the spritzing (to set my face) to a minimum because I do find that I tend to become oily sooner so just 2 spritz to set my face is sufficient.

What I love most about this product is that it’s actually GOOD for my skin. I have sensitive skin and I haven't had any problems with it. It’s not just a mist of “ohhh-la-la”; it hydrates the face and doesn’t leave a film of residue behind. I’ve been using it consistently for 3 months and I have a 1/4 of the 236ml left. For only $18 this is a steal and I am looking forward to repurchasing my next one.

I purchased the 8 fl oz bottle thinking that I would go through in fast, but it actually lasts a decent amount of time.

THE PRODUCT: It claims to be for "All skin types" which I foind great because most of the time alot of brands tend to make either a product aimed at dry skin or oily skin types so to have this facial spray so universal is great. I used this to refresh my skin when needed, before I apply my foundation, after I have finished using powders I will spray it to settle the powders into my skin and I also use it to intensify my eye pigments. I find it works great for all of these uses. But I am not one who likes alot a scent to my products and I can sometimes find this to be a little to strong so that is my only downfall with this facial spray.

THE PACKAGING: It comes in this frosted plastic bottlewith a screw on nozzle spray that has a clear removable lid. The spray nozzle itself is good it gives an even amount of product without heavy droplets that some sprays tend to do. The labelling is clear and well printed.

OVERALL RATING: 7/10

After hearing a whole lot of hype around this product, I couldn't resist picking it up from Mecca Cosmetica on a trip there a while ago. Since then I have repurchased this multiple times - I think this is my 3rd or 4th bottle - and I'm just in love with it! It retails for $10 for 118ml but you can get the larger size with 236ml of product for $18. It can only be purchased at Mecca Cosmetica though, so that may be a downfall for some who don't like shopping online and don't have a store nearby.

This product comes in a matte, clean looking translucent spray bottle. It is very nice looking, and the pink spray stands out well so you can easily tell how much is left. The nozzle is average, not the best I have tried but decent. Although the product is pink, it doesn't leave a tint on your skin or makeup. It smells gorgeous, a lovely rose fragrance. I like to use it after washing my face to tone, and also before and after applying makeup to prime and set - it's great for getting rid of the powdery look. It leaves my face moisturized and dewy looking. You can also use it for other purposes - making eyeshadows more pigmented by spraying on the brush then applying to your eye, or refreshing your makeup throughout the day.

I would definitely recommend picking this up, it's a great multipurpose facial spray that smells divine! One bottle lasts 3 months easily, and that's the small size! I would imagine it would be great for sensitive skin too - so soothing and cooling, definitely not just for the sake of spraying your face.
