Monoprix Brume Eau Minerale Hydrating Facial Spray Review

Blog time...because there's not much else to do. I bought this facial spray last summer when we went to Strasbourg, which is a beautiful city. We ended up walking in the downtown area and of course I had to check out the drugstore. Evian is the most known one in the USA and they did have that one, but I went with the cheaper one. They are very cheap already in France and  Germany at no more than 2-3 dollars. Way overpriced in Sephora. 

Anyway, I do like these....even though they are essentially a water spray.

I use a lot of facials oils/butters and like to mist this one before applying the heavier oils because they absorb easier. I also do find them helpful to spray on skin irritations or burns. I don't know why it's any different from regular water or if it's all in my head, but I do like it. 

They are also nice in the summer when it's super hot outside to spray on the face to cool you down. I don't carry it around in the winter months but in spring/summer I will throw it in my bag. 

You can spray it on you face after makeup, but I don't find it to get rid of the "powdery" look. Not like a makeup setting spray would do because it is essentially just water. It can take away some of the oiliness in my skin though. So that's another reason I like having it in the summer months. 

As for hydration purposes, if you have dry skin this isn't really going to moisturize your skin. I don't know if it claims to be hydrating- I can't read French but I thought I would mention it. 

There's no scent at all. Which I do like....I used the Mac Fix Plus before this and found the scent overwhelming. Although I do wish they would make options like Lavender or Peppermint. Natural scents. 

Overall, not a necessity. I probably won't get the chance to purchase this one again since I've only seen it in France. But I have noticed other brands popping up (off-brand- but it's only water anyway) so more than likely I will always have a can of this on hand.

Pics I took of the cathedral in Strasbourg. It was breathtaking. I really want to go back!
