Product worth the hype: MAC Prep + Prime Fix+
I've been using MAC's Prep + Prime Fix+ for around 5-6 months now and I recently ran out, so I've since repurchased it and thought that now I'd now write a post on it as I don't think I've properly spoken about it. (I briefly spoke about it in my MAC Collection post.)
The product description on the MAC website:
"A lightweight mist of water packed with vitamins and minerals, infused with a blend of green tea, chamomile and cucumber to gently sooth and refresh the skin. Gives an instant boost of hydration white delivering a soft sheen to refresh and finish makeup."
Usage:
Hold bottle 12 inches away from face and spray evenly.
Use alone or finish makeup.
The packaging of this bottle is a matte plastic bottle, with a matte black lid. You can lock the spray, which I think is useful as it's perfect for travelling and carrying around in your bag. I had the small travel bottle and it lasted me around 5-6 months. When I went to repurchase it the travel size was unavailable, so now I have the 100ml one.
The fix+ is a finishing spray. I've seen some negative review online due to people thinking it was a setting spray. You can actually use the fix+ a few different ways. One of my favourite ways to use it is to spray it onto a brush after I've picked up some eyeshadow. It intensifies the eyeshadow and stops there from being so much fallout. It's really good to use with glitter eyeshadows and pigments.
I also like to spray this after I've finished my makeup as it makes it look less cakey. It's refreshing and I like to spray it throughout the day. It also has a nice scent to it.
This is one of my favourite products that I use pretty much daily. I originally got it because I wanted to use it for my eyeshadow, but I do like using it to refresh and spray after my makeup. I think this product is definitely worth the hype. The 30ml (travel size) is £10 and the 100ml bottle is £17!
Have you tried fix+? Do you like finishing sprays?
I haven't tried it but I do like to use a spray to finish my make up to stop it looking cakey, because I have super dry skin it can easily look cakey, I am currently using the smash box primer water but will definitely pick this up once that has finished :) xxx

DeleteI love it!!! I'm still on my first bottle but I sometimes put it in the fridge and make sure it's cold. Then after my workout...I spray on my face and it feels so good! I carry it around with me!

me too! putting it in the fridge sounds like a really good idea, i may have to try that:P
DeleteAs I use a lot of powder products, I love this for taking away that powdery look. I've had this for just under a year now, and I couldn't live without it. It's worth every penny. Great for giving your highlight a bit more bang, too!

DeleteI have always wanted to try this and after reading this, more so! Great review

ah i really recommend it, its an amazing product! thank you:)
DeleteI really want this to use with my pigments, it's just a little pricey when I don't use them very often!
ReplyDeleteJust Little Things
it works really well with pigments!
DeleteOoooh I might have to try this soon! I always thought it was a setting spray like the Urban Decay one! I've been loving sprays for your face in general lately, I have the UD all nighter spray, which I find very impressive, and a toner spray from Lush called Breath of Fresh Air. There's just something so refreshing and cooling about them, so I'll probably deffo pick this MAC spray up at some point!
