Pixi Glow Mist ($15 at Target) was one of those total impulse purchases for me. I was at Target a few weeks ago buying more of the Pixi Shea Butter Lip Balms and I spotted this along with a few other new products for Spring 2015. I just couldn't resist it...I'm a sucker for face mists! Let's take a look...
According to the Pixi website, Glow Mist:
Gives a glowing, luminous & smooth complexion. Enriched with 13 natural oils plus propolis, aloe vera and fruit extracts.
Before makeup: hydrates, protects & nourishes.
After makeup: sets makeup, adds a dewy finish and protects skin.
Anytime: refreshes makeup, hydrates and adds glow.

Glow Mist is a dual phase product...you can see in the above photo that there's a layer of oil floating on top. You just have to shake the bottle well before spraying.
The atomizer has small nozzle so the mist is very fine and it doesn't leave big droplets all over your face. I just hold it about 12 inches away and hold the button down to release the cooling, refreshing mist. It smells so good- very clean and spa-like. It actually reminds me a lot of Caudalie's Beauty Elixir. I mainly use it as a makeup setting spray to create a seamless finish or as a refresher during the day. Now that the weather is getting warm, I love to use it after I've been outside running around with my 2 year old. It feels amazing when you feel overheated and tired...it's a great pick-me-up!
It does hydrate your skin, with oils like Argan, Jojoba, Avocado, and Olive plus hyaluronic acid, but it doesn't take the place of your moisturizer (at least for me but I have dry skin)- it just adds a boost to dehydrated skin, whether you've been on a plane, or out in the sun or wind. It also contains tea tree oil and aloe to soothe a stressed out complexion.
Overall, I'm loving Pixi Glow Mist and I know I'll be using it all summer- it's in my purse right now, I've been taking it everywhere!You can find it at your local Target or at Pixibeauty.com
