"A refreshing, hydrating mist to use anywhere anytime. Formulated simply with fragrant Herbal Extracts and Rosewater for a pleasant, pick me up for dehydrated, tight and uncomfortable skin. Spray your day and night creams for a boost of hydration or use it to set make-up or spray on dry hair throughout the day. Safe for all skin types, gentle, non-irritating."

PROS: It's a great alternative to MAC's Fix+ Spray and it's also a lot cheaper. Fix+ is $16 for 3.4 oz and the MB spray is only $7 for 4 oz. I refrigerate my spray and I do find that spritzing some on at the end of the day is very refreshing. It also soaks into the skin pretty nicely.

CONS: As a makeup setter, I didn't really notice any differences using the spray versus not using the spray. Either way, it seemed like a bit of my makeup would rub off during the day. I also don't like the smell because it's too strong. It smells way too much like heavy rose/floral perfume. I also didn't notice any added hydration when I used it in my hair.

Overall: I only like this spray as a refreshening spray because it does the trick. I haven't used it to wet my brushes to apply pigments yet because I didn't really want to put this on my eye like Fix+.
