MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Review

On a recent MAC haul I found the travel section of the MAC website and thought OH SO CUTE! I love smaller sized cosmetics and skincare as it is a great way to try things before buying a full size. Especially with MAC when things are a bit more expensive. I picked this up from the MAC website and used YouShop to get it to NZ.

The packaging of this is quite simple. The bottom is a clear part great to see how much product you have left. The pump is very practical. It is matte black. I like that you can move the lid to the side to lock it so that when travelling extra product doesn't come out. The spray is kind of annoying though, it isn't as smooth and even as I would expect for such a high-end product. Sometimes when I spray this it comes out so strong in places you can see the droplets where it has built up.

The product itself has a few different uses but I mainly use this for a finishing spray. I like to spray after I use powder to make it look less powdery (but still stay on just as long). It applies clear and doesn't have a scent at all. It worked well to make my powder look more natural and my makeup still looked good at the end of the day so I it doesn't badly effect the longevity of the product.

Although I did like this product it isn't holy grail for me. It is an extra product that you don't really NEED, and I also think that I will repurchase the Urban Decay Setting Spray instead of this as I know that the spray bottle works better (and can be reused with other things).

This has been in my MAC must have list in so long and when a friend when to the US, I got her to pick this up for me since it's so much cheaper over there.

I love this and I use it before and after my makeup. Before my makeup, I feel like it refreshes my skin and hydrates it. It also helps my base makeup to settle better.

After my makeup, I also use this as a setting spray and I think it works well. I love the mist as it sprays quite evenly and you don't end up with big blobs on your face.

I do find this quite expensive though as most MAC products are. While I do love this, I think there are now better and cheaper setting sprays available.

I love MAC Fix+ I tend to have very dry skin in winter and this spray works wonders for hydrating my skin pre foundation application and hold my make-up in place for the day, I've also used it to set stage make-up for performances and it really sets your face well and keeps you hydrated.

The product is a lovely refreshing spray, it doesn't help fix my makeup but helps me get a finished look. There are days when my skin can be extremely dry, even after moisturising thoroughly, and foundation and powder application is done I find my face looks cakey, but when I spray this on it just gives me a nice dewy look and the cakiness goes away. I use this pretty much everyday in the winter.

I have this in travel size, its great if i have over powdered my face, it makes my makeup less cakey which is why i use it. packaging is simple

Well. Well. I think that it is safe to say that this is a product you darn well need in your life. This is multi-purpose, at least for me. I use under foundation, over foundation, with foundation, under eyeshadow...just, you need it, ok?

I brought this off a girl who didn't really like it. So i thought oh what the hell i'll give it a go. I LOVE it! My makeup lasted forever! makes me look glowey and flawless. when i go out i use it before primer (refreshes and makes my make up last that bit longer) and then again once i finish and a fan dry my face to ensure it dries nicely.

I bought the smaller size of this on the mac cosmetics official website. I was so excited to get it as I have always heard good things about it and its what everyone I youtubed was using to set their makeup. The first time I sprayed it, it didn't come out in a fine mist it came out like in tiny droplets. I was disappointed for sure then after I kept using it, it would spray a lot better. It was very nice and refreshing and left my skin looking more natural after using a setting powder. It definitely made my makeup last a lot longer. Would buy this product again for sure.

I feel like there is a secret with this product that I don't know yet, because I just don't find it as epic as all the reviewers below do. Still, this isn't uncommon for me with M.A.C (their Strobe Cream for example just doesn't agree with my face!) so maybe that's why.

I picked up a 30ml of this passing through duty free in Hong Kong, which was about $16 NZ. For that price, it was totally worth a try.

The packaging is the typical classy simple M.A.C - black writing on the plastic bottle which in this case is a see through silvery white with a black cap. I like that the cap locks with a simple twist, and that the see through bottle allows you to see how much product is left effortlessly.

When I spray this I have to literally hold it at arms length, otherwise the spray is too heavy. I feel like in order to be more effective the mist needs to be finer. It smells okay - perhaps a little on the 'cleansing product' side scent wise, and I would prefer that it were lightly scented (think Anna Sui florals) or totally unscented if I'm spraying it on my face.

It seems to give makeup a nice finish and increase the staying power, but so do other, cheaper ones I've tried.

All in all, I'll happily use this up, and would consider buying this size at that price again, but there is absolutely no way, ever, I'd pay full price for a full size unless someone lets me in on the secret I'm clearly missing out on!

I love MAC in general, and this is one of my favourite products! I use it as a primer, a setting spray, on my beauty blender and even if im not wearing makeup I use it just to hydrate. It's multi purpose which I love, and it's great on all skin types!
