OK, in all honesty when I opened my NZ Brands Best Beauty Box ever and saw the Hydrating Mist Toner from Trilogy I kind of looked at it and went 'Huh? What in the world is this?'
Do I question it now?! Nope. I did google it and read more into it.
This Trilogy product comes in a brown frosted glass bottle with the trilogy sticker wrapped around it. A spritz applicator which is where the idea of the 'mist' comes from.
This product smells of roses a subtle scent of roses. It reminds me of walking through my Nana's rose gardens as a child. Such a beautiful smell.
I started using it in the mornings just holding it back from my face and spraying 2-4 times. I usually moisturise my face in the mornings or during the day when I feel my face is a bit dry or just before I do my makeup. So instead I tried this as it's mean't to hydrate the skin.
With 2-4 squirts of basically what feels like water on your face I go about my morning and let it dry. It drys like nothing. Not tacky. Not moisturised. Not sticky. Literally just vanishes into your skin
This I did feel hydrated my skin but I needed to moisturise. Hydrate? At the time yes but once dried and vanished I needed moisturiser. I started using it only in the mornings but found myself spraying my face during the day with it at random wjen my skin needed it and just because it felt amazing on my skin as well. I only did/do this on non makeup days :)
This toner was part of the NZ Brands BBBE. Normally I only use a tea tree toner so this was something interesting to try out. The glass bottle gives the product a classy, luxurious look to it and the spray top is much better than having to tip toner out onto a cotton pad.
I didn't notice the lavender in the scent, only the rose and geranium. It's lovely and fresh. The spray is fine enough to spread out well, although it takes quite a well to settle in and dry down. Feels very cool and refreshing.
I felt that this toner left my skin looking fresher and more radiant. It's not hugely moisturising but is a nice pick me up. Still on the fence as to whether or not I will purchase another bottle when this one runs out.
