Elf Mist and Set Spray

Hi Guys,

I've been hunting for great products on a budget for some time. I had been meaning to get this product for a while as it is a great dupe for the MAC Fix+. Prior to this,I had been using a setting spray and i had a big problem with the nozzle. Every time i spray this on my face, it unleashed an ocean of liquid on my face and drenched me!! I was like ughhhhh?? Is this what the spray is supposed to do? I mean, i see people use it on youtube and it gives a nice mist and settles gently on their face and immediately takes off that cakey powdery look after an awesome beat but oh no not mine!! I was put off from it until i attended the makeup fair and saw this. I was like "Whatever let me get this again, it wouldn't hurt to try a face spray from another brand, besides it's just N1000 or N1500 depending on what online store you buy from"..

Before i go into the review let me give you some gist on:

 What E.L.F says: Wish you could have a product for your makeup like Hairspray is for your hair? Well…keep your makeup staying in place all day with a radiance boosting invisible hold with our new Makeup Mist & Set. The invigorating mist moisturizes and soothes the skin with key ingredients Aloe, Green Tea, Cucumber and Vitamins A, C & E. The lightweight, comfortable and alcohol free formula improves makeup wearability and prevents color from running or fading.

HOW TO USE: Spray on after makeup application to set makeup in place or during the day for a quick touchup to refresh. After you have applied your makeup spray a light mist 12-16 inches from your face with eyes closed to set your makeup in place or use for a quick touchup throughout the day to refresh your makeup. Let it dry naturally or blot with a tissue to help speed dry.

DAZZLEBEAUTIE: First of all this product is $3. Three dollars!!!! Honestly, i get put off some products especially things like this because i just feel they won't live up to expectation. Come on the product is $3 dollars, there is a 50/50 chance you will like it. But i am super pleased with this.

 This spray is set in a dark plastic case that is so compact and handy, I really like how tiny it is. It doubles as a great product to dampen your brushes when applying pigments as well as a great makeup setting spray. When i say "setting spray" i don't mean it does an "ALL NIGHTER" on my face, but the moment i spray it on, it erases that powdery look that i absolutely dislike.

Secondly, the NOZZLE!! I know some people have complained about that for this product and truly, that is the most important part of this product. If it doesnt give a fine mist, you will not enjoy this product. I took a que and switched the top for my Skindinavia spray and now i'm loving it. This is a great dupe and a super cheap alternative for the MAC Fix+ so if you are on a budget this is your baby.It does the same thing. I also use this to intensify my eyeshadow pigments. One "splooof" on your brush is all you need.

Lastly, it is CRUELTY FREE!! No cute furry animals where harmed in the production of this product, :)

I must say i really like this spray. E.L.F did not dissappoint with this one! Does anyone have this? Kindly let me know what you think below. Have a great weekend.

WHERE TO BUY: WWW.ACCESSORIESNG.COM. (I was gifted this at the makeup fair by them. Thanks guys..)

PRICE: N1500

Thanks for Stopping by!

  1. I have it but I've only used once!I sprayed on my bare face before I started my makeup application but I broke out badly!the thing is I'm not sure if it was the spray or I was reacting to something else at the time!I've been using my mac fix+ but my face is sort of clear now and I might give a sister a chance lol

    1. Maybe your skin reacted to it. I have only sprayed this on my makeup brushes to we them for eyeshadow and over my fully made up face. Never directly on the skin. I guess you have very sensitive skin. Maybe you should stick to Fix+

  2. Wherever you see elf, you see me. I hate the nozzle of this spray but I never thought of switching it. Luckily for me, I have the skindinivia spray too. Thanks for the heads up
    By the way, I tagged you in a post on my blog. Please check it out here

  4. The trick to this product is to put it in a better bottle. I bought the MAC Fix+ Travel size a while back, used it all, and then transferred the ELF Mist into the bottle. It works perfectly!
