Even though the box comes plastered with a million (exaggerated) claims, I do enjoy the serum and find it amazing for soothing and prepping dry skin. I noticed it needed more slip for smooth application (over my flakey areas) and this does the job perfectly. The texture of this is ultra luxurious, it’s silky without the silicone-y feel and absorbs beautifully! I honesty don’t intend to use this in my day to day skincare but instead a primer for dry skin when I use my Westman Atelier Foundation. Not my ideal packaging for skincare since air and impurities can end up in the product causing contamination, but this one is all about ‘Vanity Goals’, pretty packaging that adds to the whole ritual of indulging in expensive skincare and looks good in any boudoir. The Magic Serum is packaged in a luxurious glass bottle, (even the mini!) and comes with a dropper dispenser. Not too bad considering most luxury products of a similar category retail around the same price. As far as minis go this one was shockingly tiny! I only ever wanted to test it out but the size is pretty decent if you have trouble deciding on splurging on the full sized product. Normally long wear setting sprays feel so dehydrating or sticky, and this does not.Īlong with my Setting Spray I ordered the mini Magic Serum. It achieves a perfect balance of keeping makeup in place without sucking all the moisture out of your skin. Both found in skincare that soothes dry skin.īottom line, I do enjoy the product and think is just lovely. Other than that the ingredient list also contains a few other skincare ingredients I enjoy such as Aloe Leaf Juice and Camellia leaf extract. (Glycerin is in the ingredient list which is a known humectant). I like that it also ensures the makeup looking fresh without drying up and locks in the moisture. 16 hours might be a stretch given I live in a hot and humid climate year round, but it’s capabilities of holding makeup in place is pretty impressive. I can’t claim to have seen any blurring effect or ‘shrinking of pores’ but I do love that it seems to control excess oil and prolong the wear of foundation. The overall appearance is that your foundation is now one with the skin. Usually setting sprays always end up so dewy and unless you have dry skin and crave that glow, no one needs their face to be shiny when set. I was expecting more of a ‘glow’ with this product but relieved there’s no oily feel or tackiness. On application there’s no tackiness or dewiness. The mist is fine and delicately fragranced, just enough to signal the brands ‘luxury’ positioning but never lingers. The bigger size is a generous 100ml for ($35) which should last a while though and more value price/ml. It actually comes in 2 sizes and I picked up the larger one (which I regret now as i’d have found the mini more useful in terms of portability). No melting, no fading, no creasing.įirstly, I love the overall aesthetic of the packaging. The Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray promises 16 hour wear of flawlessness. I haven’t been blogging but IG has been updated (infrequently!) and I have been talking about some of the products in this review. I still however feel that life’s little luxuries and some new makeup lighten the mood and therefore happy to share these exciting launches with you. The current situation puts things into perspective doesn’t it? As much as I enjoy luxury beauty, i’ve been keeping things quiet as I don’t think anyone ‘needs’ a new red toned palette or that brand new MLBB lipstick. How have you been doing? The months past Covid outbreak have been a bit crazy.
