Mario Badescu rosewater facial spray smells like fresh roses with some mild aloe vera. Unfortunately I don't like the scent of roses at all, it did bother me a bit.

Mario Badescu is a lifesaving product I am absolutely stunt of how it works. Currently I have acne-prone oily skin so I was really afraid that what if this hydration mist makes my skin more oily? But thankfully it did't. It helps to soothe my skin. The aloe actually moisturizes the skin. This gives a very mild cooling sensation. Whenever my skin feels dull or tight, I just spray it on my face and get a instant refreshing feeling plus hydration without making my skin too oily, my skin literally glows when I use it and looks much healthier. Keep in mind that hydration mists won't give you super hydration like moisturizers or face oils.

The small size is big enough but even small enough to fit your bag, during summer your skin is really dehydrated and during winter your skin is mostly dry, you can spray it for instant hydration and it doesn't even ruin your makeup unless you spray way to much and make your face super wet that you makeup might melt.

It says you can use it on your neck and hair too but I didn't spray it on my hair though.

I am a very lazy person and sometimes I skip moisturizer which is really bad I know, don't judge. But the next morning my skin feels super dry or dehydrated and I know it will be a lot harder to put on my makeup, at that time I spray it all over my face, make it super wet so when it dries my face is in a lot better condition and my makeup glides on smoothly. Sometimes when I am done with my makeup, I spray it again which makes the powdery/cake-y face disappear into a fresh and dewy look. It does hold my makeup for a long time too.

Overall : I am in love with this Mario Badescu facial spray for all its amazing qualities, the way it hydrates my skin, so easy to travel with, never caused any sort of break outs or any irritation on my face rather it soothes my skin and makes it feel refreshing. The only thing I didn’t like was the smell but I can keep it aside and adore all the amazing qualities it has and how it effects my everyday life.

I think it's kinda like a dupe for Mac fix plus, if you don't want to spend so much on Mac fix plus then you can always grab this one as it is a lot cheaper. I have both but I usually grab this one a lot more than fix plus. To be honest I actually use it everyday.
