Now that my skin is on the dry side, I have been quite intrigued by dewy setting mists. I found one from the drugstore that I absolutely love and will be posting about it soon, but I thought why not try a high end version to see if there is any difference in performance based on price. When I saw that @lilahbeauty had a mini version (.33 ounces) of their Aglow Face Mist for sale at @sephora for $16 (compared to 1 ounce for $48) I thought it was a perfect contrast to the affordable option that has been my go to for weeks!
What it claims:
π This sheer, lightweight mist invigorates and enlivens, delivering hydration while fortifying the skin
π Helps to maintain a flawless complexion, setting makeup for longer-lasting wear and brightening dullness with a refreshing, dewy glow
π Knot grass extract provides firming properties and environmental defense
π Dandelion extract is used to detoxify, soothe, and promote skin radiance
My experience:
ππ» I obviously knew how much product I was buying when I ordered it, but that still didn’t prevent me from being surprised by how little $16 got me.
ππ» The first thing I noticed when I sprayed it on my face to set my makeup was the scent. It isn’t good and it’s strong.
ππ»ππ» It left a couple of droplets on my face because the mist isn’t super fine. However, I just used my damp beauty sponge to work them in.
ππ»ππ» My face felt a little heavy, even greasy, right after. Thankfully, that feeling only lasted a couple of minutes.
ππ» I applied it nearly eleven (11) hours ago and my t-zone is a more oily than normal.
ππ» It didnβt keep my foundation from settling into my fine lines.
ππ» It appears my makeup is breaking up and that never happens with the combination of products I used today.
My verdict?
This product didnβt extend the lasting power of my makeup, smelled unpleasant and is too expensive for what youβre getting. If you couldnβt already tell, I wonβt be repurchasing.
Do you use dewy setting sprays? If yes, which is your favorite?
Also, shoutout to @thecandytopia for the sneak preview of their new Minneapolis location today! It provided such a fun backdrop for photos!
