Oh BB, your mist so fine, your Face Mist so fine it blows my mind!

June 3, 2015 Paris B 20 Comments

I’d never really used face mists before this. Sure, I’ve tried my share of thermal water mists back in the day but it wasn’t something I used daily. Well, until I revamped my skincare routine, that is. Now, I use a face mist in the morning and evening routine, everyday.

Is it necessary? Well, it depends on the school of thought you belong to. In my school of thought, I don’t think it’s necessary per se, but it helps my skin and heck! Anything that helps my skin, I keep!

And when it’s something that spritzes out a mist as fine as this one, I like it even better!

This is what I like best about the Bobbi Brown Face Mist – the spray. Barring aerosol sprays, I haven’t yet come across a spray nozzle that gives you a mist so fine and gentle on your skin! Needless to say therefore, that I’m keeping this bottle so I can refill it later 😛

The thing is this. This Bobbi Brown Face Mist is lovely.

It spritzes out a lovely fine mist that does not leave your face sopping wet, which makes this one perfect for setting makeup. I don’t use it for makeup (I’ve given up all that, to be honest. These days, I just do what I can and if a product slides off my face I stop using it. Problem solved 😛 ) but I use it as my first hydrating toner. Yes, I use 2 toners – am I the only one? 😛

I use it on the plane because it’s a handy 100ml bottle that passes airport scrutiny and it’s a plastic, non-aerosol bottle which makes it even more travel friendly. These days, airports don’t allow aerosol cans on board either.

But if you plan to take this travelling, I have to warn you that although this is a 100ml bottle, it looks quite large. So, at every checkpoint when my bags were screened, I was always singled out to have my bags checked for a large bottle of liquid. It always turned out to be this Face Mist and I was always quick to point to the label at the base of the bottle, to show that it was just 100ml, not more. The security was generally disbelieving, but they had to take it at face value. So be warned about this.

I took it with me to Tibet and it served me very well to refresh myself on that long train journey I took on the Qinghai Railway. It served me so well, every one of my family members lined up for a spritz! LOL! 😀

This is because of the gentle relaxing scent of lavender and geranium which infuses the face mist. If you like these scents, you will enjoy using this. It soothes the senses and when travelling, soothes the skin and keeps it fresh, refreshed and happy.

As a hydrating toner, I think it does a good enough job. I spritz it on, then follow up with a hydrating lotion/toner thing. I’m big on hydrating my skin. Sometimes, I spritz it on before I apply a face oil. Because of the fine mist, it just leaves your skin damp enough to help oils and heavy moisturisers penetrate better, but not so wet that you have to mop up after yourself.

But I know the biggest question in your mind right now. “Do I need this?”

My answer is no, you do not.

It’s a very lovely product to have. If someone is going to buy this for you, you will likely love it. But I can’t in all good conscience tell you to spend RM120 on this when I’m quite happy to drench my skin with a much more affordable option. But if you’re lucky enough to be gifted this, please keep the bottle after you’re done. The spray, it’s out of this world!

IN A NUTSHELL

The Bobbi Brown Face Mist is a hydrating face mist that can be used for a myriad of uses, from setting makeup to refreshing skin through the day, if that’s what you like. The mist is very fine, which is wonderful for misting your skin without leaving it sopping wet. There is a gentle scent of lavender and geranium which is refreshing and comforting and the mist leaves skin feeling soft and hydrated. It also travels very well as it comes in a plastic 100ml non-aerosol bottle. However, I do find it too pricey to justify using daily and lavishly the way I do with my face mists and so I’d peg this as a nice-to-have not a must-have.

PROS: Travel friendly bottle, Spray nozzle spritzes a very fine mist over skin, Lovely scent, Leaves skin feeling hydrated

CONS: Pricey, Essential oils in the ingredients may irritate hyper sensitive skin

WHO WILL LIKE THIS: Anyone who uses a hydrating face mist, Anyone who wants something travel friendly with a good spray nozzle bottle

Here is the ingredient list for the Bobbi Brown Face Mist for your reference.

bobbi brown face mist ingredient list

Between this and the Melvita Rose Floral Water, I’d pick the Melvita because you get more for roughly the same price. Between this and the Heritage Products Rosewater, I’d pick the Heritage because it’s value for money. But if I travel a lot and want something portable, I’d pick the Bobbi Brown Face Mist because it fits that requirement 🙂

Do you use a hydrating face mist? Have you tried this one from Bobbi Brown or have you thought of trying it?

I use a face mist twice a day, after cleansing and my acid toning steps. I find them beneficial but I don’t use them with makeup, only as skincare. So I go for something hydrating, always. If you want to use these mists for makeup, you can use them to set your makeup (mist your face when you’re done) or for wetting your brush to apply eyeshadow wet. Me, I don’t do any of that haha! I’m a bad bad beauty blogger coz I never bother using all these tips! 😛

    I have a funny anecdote regarding these mist spray thingies. When I was flying from Kunming back to KL, the Chinese airport security scanned my bags and asked me what my bottle of thermal water was (because the writing was all in English). So I whipped it out to spray it on myself to prove that it’s safe, but I didn’t realize that the nozzle was directed at the security personnel. She ducked the mist as if it was a bomb!

    This one is really interesting though! I personally use the Urban Decay setting sprays because they seem to work very well for me, heh heh!

      ROFLOL!! My God, she must have thought you were trying to kill her – lucky you didn’t end up in a Chinese jail LOL 😀 I’ve heard the UD setting sprays are amazing – like nothing budges all day long! But I’ve never tried them. This is more of a hydrating spray or a feel-good spray 😀

    I bought this upon recommendation from my dear Bobbi Brown contact (the product was not even available yet on BB International website LOL!) The smell is so nice and I like the fine spray so my face doesn’t feel like it’s melting. I’m not sure about setting up makeup because like you, if the makeup product doesn’t setup properly by itself, why bother? And it’s not like I need frequent use of whole day makeup, haha.

    Sometimes, I use this to wet my eyeliner brush to make my eyeliner looks more intense. It’s better than using water from pipe because of its fine spray 😀

    When you said you use it as part of your dual toner routine, it gave me idea: how about making this as 2-in-1 for travel; as mist and toner (as toner, spray on cotton pad like usual toner). Save more space for skincare bag!

      Ooh you have insider contacts! 😉 Like you, I don’t quite care that my makeup may not last the whole day. Not celebrity status enough to be papped on the street, so it’s ok if I look like crap after a few hours LOL 😀 That’s a great idea to use this for brush wetting. I don’t do my makeup anywhere near the bathroom so it’s always a hassle whenever I think of trying a shadow wet, or to wear it as liner as you’ve mentioned. Good idea! I’ll try it with this! At least I know it won’t leave my brush sopping wet too! Oh and you know, when I was travelling, this served as both my refreshing mist AND my hydrating toner as well! It felt so good spraying it on after a long long day and a hot shower!

    Hi Paris,I love this face mist! I carry it with me everywhere I go and I use it whenever my face needs a pick me up. I prefer this to the Melvita one mainly because of the spray. The Melvita one hits the face with a punch compared to this face mist. Lol!

      Hiya! It’s very refreshing, I agree. I don’t carry mine around but I do things like that when I travel and it’s great! The spray is quite out of this world – I’ve never known a spray so delicate and fine!

    I love the fact that you don’t tell us to buy this because it’s the best face mist to ever graze the face of this earth. At RM120, and what’s with Malaysia’s unstable economy, it’s very hard to justify a purchase that expensive. I also appreciate the first picture where you showed the fine mist. Very, very FINE mist indeed! I would love to hold at arm length and spray my face in the morning. Looks very refreshing. 🙂

      You are absolutely right Aisyah and that’s why I can’t in good conscience say “Go and buy this NOW!” because it’s wonderful but let’s face it, nothing’s a must have right? There are always alternatives for all budgets 😉 I actually like the cheap option. It serves my purpose well, and I like the scent. So while luxury is nice, practical is always better for the wallet 😉

    It looks interesting! I use clinique’s version which is about RM100 and this is 120, and has a chic bottle so…umm… might consider getting it really. But nevertheless it is the splurge. Hmm, didn’t know airports did not allow aerosol bottles anymore… Does Avene water spray count as aerosol? Cause that’s what I was planning to bring cause as you know, the dry air on planes kill skin uuhhhh.

      Hmm, I haven’t tried Clinique’s version. You know, I have this “thing” against using “branded” products for mists which is why I haven’t tried any till now LOL It’s like something so basic, I’d rather not spend too much on it, even if it might be wonderful – did that make sense? 😛 Aerosol cans (pressurised spray cans) seem to be an issue. Someone in our group had hairspray and he had to take it out of his carry on and dump it. So be warned!

        I’m also currently using one face mist spray thingie from Andalou Naturals, I think theirs is quite good actually and about 10 pounds here? Don’t know if you could get it in Malaysia though but I think iherb has it? Not sure, but I tried their mists and am also loving it.

          I don’t think we get Andalou Naturals here but I picked up a stater kit that has a little spray mist thingy inside! Giving it a go and yes, iHerb is my saviour for all things natural and (fairly) affordable! Happy to know that gets the thumbs up from you Robert! 😀

    I currently use the rosewater you mentioned and have been for years. Face setting sprays don’t really do anything except dry out my face because of all the chemicals. This one looks interesting though.

      I think you have a point, Tracy. Face setting sprays are drying, I feel, because they have to be to hold everything in place! I think a face setting spray would serve well for an occasional event, but not something I’d actually use daily. Hydrating mists however, are wonderful for perking up the skin 😀 I love the Heritage one and I’ve just finished my bottle so it’s time to pick up another! 😉

      How fortuitous! 😀 It smells very lovely and the fine mist is really something else! Maybe if you can get some store rebates or vouchers or discounts, it’ll be a good time to have a little splurge 😉

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜
