Nu-yu Minerals Face Mist Review

This is one of the pic that i took when i wasn't able to upload pics for a while...like last week... I've been meaning to do a little review on this product but i always forgot...

Face Mist from Nu-Yu Cosmetics...it's a local mineral makeup brand (based here in the Philippines). They have the usual product from face to lip needs... They also have toiletries like lotions, soaps, etc... but i just brought 3 stuff from them when i saw that they were on sale...(that was ages ago..can't even remember when was that). I got the big kabuki brush, round eyeshadow brush & the face mist...

The label says that it got:
  • aqua
  • essential oils
  • menthol phenoxyethanol
The first two looks ok..but the menthol phenoxyethanol made me scrunch my face...
I know that menthol is supposed to make the skin feels refresh...but...i dunno..i think its a bit drying too..Since i have an oily face...it won't be a problem. So i grab it...same with the other 2 brushes...paid for it & tried it the moment i went to the loo.

First spray....i think i got excited, i sprayed it near my face & it forms into like beads of perspiration..lol...so have to wipe it off & do it again...

I guess its because i made a mistake on my first try that it left my face sticky. So i was not impress... But then the next day, since it was so hot, i tried it again...& of course i put it away from my face & it did feel nice. My face felt refreshed that i even wanna spray it all over my body...though i just sprayed it on my arms...

Then i forgot all about it & found it one day...since im not using it anymore, little bro asked if he could have it & i gave it to him. & i see him using it every now & then..he said that it feels nice...

I guess it works same with any other face mist.. but since i tried it & its just ok, ill not buy it again...
i wanna try out other facial mists....

Oh & the price... i got it at Php 80 (almost $2) on their sale but the original price is Php 100 ($2.25 i think)... not bad,right?

PS:
I was about to post a pic of the 'water beads'..lol..
but instead i saw my dog..so i just took his pic...
he is a chocolate labrador!

Jem said...

thanks!

i think its a must now...considering that we have extremely hot weather here in the Philippines...
~_~" so hot...

Jennnn said...

aww cute dog! question, what's the benefit of a facial mist? (besides it helping you feel nice and fresh?)

Jem said...

lots of people actually say that facial sprays like Evian are just water in a bottle... XD

Just think of it as mineral-laden water that would make the skin feel refreshed during hot weather...it can also acts as makeup setter...a refreshing way to set your makeup

& of course it can be used as a mixing medium...just like MAC fix +...

ill buy MAC if i have tried all the other cheap facial mist first...lol

Thanks for the review sis. I think facial mists are must have these days specially on hot weathers. I'm currently using La Mer mist... it's a little pricey but it is a good product. If you get chance to visit their counter sis... have a couple of sprays and you'd feel the difference. I only use it twice thoughout my whole shift (12 hours) and it's enough to make me feel refreshed :)

Jem said...

especially here in the philippines...sooooooo hot! its really something that we ought to have to get by...
