Did you know?
Created in 1997, Beauty Elixir was inspired by a recipe of the youth elixir used by the Queen of Hungary in the 17th century, who was known for her radiant complexion. Mathilde Thomas wanted to reinterpret this infusion of plants for the skin. Today Beauty Elixir is a must-have for celebrities and make-up artists worldwide.

It is a pricy product for what is essentially a facial toning spray. From what I read, it's one that went viral on social media.
There are a lot of things I like about it. First up, it comes in a glass bottle. I haven't tried a lot of misting sprays but a good majority of them come in plastic. So it's always nice to see glass. So the packaging is A+. I think it came in a box but I'm guessing I threw it out. The sprayer is a mister. It's ok. I keep thinking it only comes out of one side though so I think there is room for improvement- especially for the price. But major points for the glass bottle.
The spray itself is like any other spray. But it does have a unique scent. It smells like it's scented entirely with essential oil. Mainly it reminds me of if you mixed peppermint with something like lemongrass. The scent is ok. You do want to make sure to shake it...otherwise the oils will not get mixed in.
But that peppermint. It's tingly! The first few times I used it it felt like it was burning my skin and I thought I would have to repurpose it. My skin seems to have gotten used to it and now it just feels extra refreshing.
I do think it has helped tighten up my pores and my skin seems a bit brighter. It lays well under and over makeup...and seems especially nice for combination/oily skin. I have a few bottles of MAC FIX+ and I prefer this over that as a skin base because it more oily/combination skin friendly. It can't replace entirely though because I sometimes use the MAC one with eyeshadow to maximize the color in some shades. But strictly skincare wise, this is a winner.
One downside is I seem to have breezed through the spray. I've been trying to use it everyday (sometimes 2x a day!) and it just get's used up to fast. But maybe I'm over-using it!
The website does mention the spray was created in 1997 and inspired by a Queen of Hungary from the 17th century. I wish they delved more into that- what Queen? What did she look like? Tell me more! I love information like that. I even tried to quickly search for who they might be talking about and I've got nothing that fits.
Ingredients:
aqua/water/eau, alcohol, citrus aurantium amara (bitter orange) flower water, parfum (fragrance), rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) leaf oil, glycerin, commiphora myrrha resin extract, styrax tonkinensis resin extract, melissa officinalis leaf oil, citral, linalool, limonene, geraniol, citronellol, vitis vinifera (grape) fruit extract, helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, tocopherol, farnesol, benzyl benzoate.(403/001)
The ingredients are great! No complains from me. If you avoid essential oils this is probably one you want to avoid.
I do also recommend reaching the product page before purchasing because the FAQ has some great and helpful information.
I really do like this..the only thing really stopping me from picking it up and repurchasing is the price. If you are looking for something similar but slightly more affordable, I think Lush could be a good place to look (Eau Roma and Breath of Fresh Air) , I've tried a few of their facial sprays and really liked them.
