So before buying MAC's Fix+ "finishing mist", I searched YouTube and the web (specifically makeupalley.com) for reviews on this product, and honestly they weren't too great! Most of the women/men who left negative reviews said that it broke them out, made their skin excessively oily and they ended up throwing the Fix+ away?!
However I took a risk and went to my nearest MAC counter and bought Fix+. I completely disagree with everything that was said in the negative reviews, and I know that it's all a matter of opinion but I found it weird how positive reviews on this product were very sparse! How anyone can THROW this product in the trash I will never know!
First of all the product is very long lasting! I bought Fix+ in March 2010 for £11.50, I still have a quarter of the bottle left and thats with using 2-3 sprays everyday! As an American would say, "You get more bang for your buck!".
The product has very nice scent to it, to me it smells very fresh but not citrus-y. I think this is due to some of it's ingredients; cucumber, camellia leaf extract etc.
I have very oily skin and this is why the second thing I love about this product is that is does not make my skin any oilier than it already is. The main job of Fix+ is hydrate and maintain great appearence of your skin with all the special, skin loving ingredients it has. For example the cucumber in Fix+ eases any inflammed areas on the face and helps reduce puffiness under the eyes and the caffeine in Fix+ helps your skin look more awake and refreshed. So I did worry that being as Fix+ was mainly a moisterising agent it would make the area it came into contact with produce even more oil. That was not the case. It did hydrate my skin, and left it looking radiant! I also had at the time I bought Fix+ very bad acne, but I did not find that Fix+ affected it in any way niether did it increase the amount of acne I got each day. People also said that it made them look like a "grease ball", this does happen if you spray Fix+ too close to your face, but if you spray it at an elbow's length then this does not happen.
This product has many different uses, which is why I think it is a must have item to have in your beauty collection! You can use Fix+ during the summer when the weather is extremely warm (obviously not in the U.K, hah!) and you want your bare, makeup free, skin refreshing. If you are ever worried that your face powder looks too "cakey" or matte, Fix+ is your new best friend! Fix+ takes away that "cakey-ness" without removing the actual use of a face powder. At what stage of your face makeup process you use Fix+ is totally up to you! I used to spray Fix+ over my face powder which was my final stage of my face makeup process but now I spray Fix+ just after my concealer/foundation stage and before my face powder because I use less face powder when Fix+ is applied before it as I feel Fix+ helps adhere the face powder better and easier therefore I use less. If your the type of person who grabs a spritser bottle full of water every now and again because you like to amplify the shade of certain eyeshadows that you feel are "dull" or use it as a mixing medium, then MAC's Fix+ is your best solution. Yes, water is alot cheaper but Fix+ provides the skin with extra vitamins and minerals that water can't as well as doing the job you wanted it for in the first place!
The Fix+ bottle has been designed very well for travelling! The bottle has a slide cap which locks into place after use to prevent any spillage,if placed in a handbag or any other luggage. When the Fix+ is sprayed no extra liquid leaks from the bottle, which means NO WASTE!
