Product Review: MAC's Fix Plus (Fix +)

Hello all my lovey readers,

Today's star of the show is my love at first use product and it is MAC's Fix Plus (Fix +) .

MAC's Fix Plus (Fix +)
This product review comes from my tried and tested over an year of happy experience, so I decided it's time that I share it with all of you.

What MAC claims Fix + to be: An aqua-spritz of vitamin and minerals, infused with a calm-the-skin blend of green tea, chamomile, cucumber, topped off with the fresh, natural, energizing scent of Sugi. Adds radiance, finishes makeup. Spray it on. Skin drinks it up!

So it's more than just water !!

Fix + -

Skin Refresher: I have dry and over the top sensitive skin so I am very careful with the products I use, especially on my face. After washing my face, I spray Fix + all over my face and after my skin absorbs it, I follow the next step, that is to apply my every day moisturizer.

 Setting Spray / Finishing Mist: I have all the good things to say about Fix + when it comes to Setting your make up.
# It is amazing to give you that glowing dewy look by just a spray on your face after you have applied your foundation.
# It truly fixes your over the top caked up foundation and saves you the trouble of trying to buff in the extra foundation into your skin, trust me that technique doesn't work because after a while, your face turns out looking all powdered up or way too matt.

How to Use it:

Hold the bottle 6"-12" away from your face and spray evenly. Don't take it too close to your face as your face may start to look greasy instead of achieving the dewy finish. Hold the product at a right distance to get the perfect effect, it's all about how you spray it.

I sometimes spray Fix + directly onto my MAC 187 dual fiber brush and touch up the areas of my face which looks caked up, it's a lil trick I use and it really works !!

What I Love About Fix + 

1. It is so hydrating and lightweight and absorbs quickly.
2. It smells amazing, truly refreshing.
3. It sets your make up perfectly leaving your skin look dewy and glowing.
4. Spray nozzle has a lock feature which makes it easy for travel.


5. Glycerin in it makes it a good Mixing Medium, may be not the best one because it is not meant to perform as one, but it is a quick fix if you run out of your mixing medium. It even comes in handy if you're using pigments. You can spray it on your brush before dipping it brush into your shadow. It'll make you eyeshadow color pop even more, making it look vibrant!
6. It's a 100 ml bottle and omg, it lasts forever. I use it every single day, as a refreshing spray, to set my make up, touch ups and what not and it easily lasts me for months. The current one I'm using has been sitting on my make up table for about six months now and I still have half a bottle left, so you can tell that this product is worth the money you pay.

There is absolutely nothing what I don't love about Fix +. I definitely plan on repurchasing this product and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Price: 870 INR
Quantity: 100 ML

MY JULY FAVORITES


Hey all my lovely readers.

As the month of July is over, it is time to show some love for the products that landed up in my monthly favorites post. I would love to know if any products made to your favorites too, leave a comment below...!!

Let me start with my Skin Care Product and it is my new moisturizer. I'm currently obsessed with my Estee Lauder DayWear Plus Multi Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme SPF 15

This is a great everyday moisturizer. My skin is sensitive and dry in the summers, but this moisturizer keeps my skin hydrated and provides me with SPF to keep my skin feeling soft and safe all day long.  Estee Lauder DayWear has a fresh scent to it which goes a long way and I love it, but if you are the kind of person who likes their skin care products to be fragrance free, then this product is surely not for you. This moisturizer is a lil pricey but I have had mine for over two months now and I still have a lot left which might last me for another week, so it is great value for money..I am too picky about what I put on my skin and I'm going to purchase it again for sure !!
Price: 3,500 INR

Second product I loved and used all month long is Dior's Diorshow Maximizer Lash Plumping Serum.

I didn't purchase it though. It was given to me by the SA when I got my Dior lipsticks. It came in a small gift box along with an adorable 5 colour smoky eye palette. Unfortunately I wasn't born with long lush babmi like eyelashes, so I'm always on the look out for products that can give my lashes the fuller effect. This product is just like a regular mascara and the application technique is the same, just that you have to put it before applying your mascara, more like a primer. It dries out leaving your lashes looking lil white, but don't get worried because that's the serum showing. After you apply your mascara, one coat of Diorshow Maximizer is enough to see instant result. I love the way my lashes turned out.
Price: It came in a gift box when I made a purchase at the Dior Counter, so I'm not sure about the price.

BeBe: Petra Studded Flat Sandal
I'm in love with these BeBe flats. Love the stud detailing on the straps. I bought mine at the BeBe store in Phoenix Mall, Bangalore. Shout out to the amazing staff they have and they are super helpful. I had mine ordered and they were sweet enough to keep it aside for me, considering I was two weeks late to collect my order. It's a a lovely Hibiscus colour as BeBe describes it. They have two more colours in this style,one in gold that is still available in store and a silver one I saw online, but I love bright colours for spring and summer.
Price: 3,900 INR

I got this Floral Print Tunic from ZARA and I love it.

I love the pop of colours and somehow it reminds me of blooming flowers, perfect for summers.
Price: 2,790 INR

In Accessories, I am in love with my Stone Necklace with Neon Touches from Zara.

It's all about being bright in the summers or to add the perfect pop of colour to your neutral outfit and what better way to add a necklace as the key piece of your outfit.
Price: 1,190 INR

Here I come to an end of my most favorite products from the month of July. Let's dig in to find more amazing things this month. Happy August everyone !!
