Love & Roses Beauty Mist

I had seen this Olivine Atelier Love + Roses Beauty Mist all over Pinterest & absolutely loved the look of it. The design of the bottle & typography used looks simple and pretty and if there is one product I’m addicted to buying it is beauty mists. I use them as a toner, to refresh my makeup and to stay cool in the warmer months so when I heard that you could purchase this in the UK (it was only available in the USA until recently) I knew I had to treat myself to a bottle.

I treated myself to the smaller 2oz bottle & it’s just so cute! It is a glass bottle so not that travel-friendly, but as I said the design is so sleek and ticks all the boxes. This Beauty Mist is multi-use & it,

‘Silkens and tones skin refreshes weary hair and makeup uplifts the spirit. Just mist liberally on face, hair, and body for instant hydration and soul-affirming aromatherapy.’

It has a really pretty floral scent which is refreshing and uplifting, it’s so nice to have sat on your desk to use when you feel a little tired or in need of a boost of hydration. This isn’t just a run of the mill face spray Olivine Atelier have included lots of ingredients that will help hydrate, soothe and combat the signs of ageing. It’s quite incredible & includes,

  • Rosa Damascena Flower Water & Rosa Damascena Flower Oil: known to refine and renew skin at the cellular level, with powerful anti-inflammatory action
  • Cassia Augustifolia Seed Polysaccharide: mimics hyaluronic acid to retain water on the surface of the skin and hair
  • Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract: a powerhouse adaptogenic herb that protects skin and hair from environmental damage, minimises fine lines and wrinkles, and assists with stress and fatigue management
  • Moringa Seed Extract: a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that promotes collagen production, supports skin firmness, and boosts the immune system
  • Andean Orchid Flower essence promotes youthful vitality and cellular regeneration
  • Rose Quartz essence + other precious gems: for soul-affirming aromatherapy, the revitalising and uplifting powers of self-love, confidence, grace, beauty and self-esteem

I’ve mostly used this as a face mist but I do spray a little on to my arms & chest area when I get out of the shower in the morning and It feels lovely & refreshing on the skin. I have had my bottle for almost 2 months now and although it is only a small bottle I have only used half, I use it most days too. I will be buying the larger 8oz size and also treating my Mum to a small one for her birthday. I know she will enjoy using it as much as me and I’m head over heels in love with it!

I also have my eye on Love + Salt from the same brand, which sounds perfect for achieving those Summer beach waves

Love + Roses is 100% natural, vegan, cruelty-free, eco-friendly (the glass bottles are reusable and recyclable) and made in small batches with love in the Pacific Northwest.

I have no words for how much i love this product. Yes i read all the reviews about this and thought blah – how good can a beauty spritz be? Well the answer is REALLY REALLY good i made this purchase from Space NK in Covent Garden – where i was served by a lovely young lady (name i forget) but i was recommended this as i have had such sensitive skin lately and this extra long crappy wintery weather we have had is drying out my skin and making my face dull and sensitive. I was so fed up with it and i did not feel like myself, dull skin is horrid.

I also bought the Jurlique Cleanser at the same time (also recommended by the lady in Space NK). I have only been using this a week and so can’t say too much on it, apart from it seems to be working, but we will see. I like to use things like this for a good month before giving my opinion.

But back to the Caudalie Beauty Elixir, I bought the 100ml bottle for £32, i started using it right away whilst i was in London for the weekend, London can be hard on your skin all that pollution and travelling also dries out your skin. I used it on the plane to stop my skin drying out, it felt really nice. I have to say this product feels so luxurious and the peppermint scent really wakes you up and leaves your skin looking fresh and vibrant. I have noticed my skin being less dry & dull not to mention it has helped reduce the redness on my cheeks. Although this might be in combination with the Jurlique Cleanser i am trying.

Do not be put off by the price, yes its a little bit on the pricey side but you really only need to use a little bit and it can be used in so many ways – under makeup as a wakeup spritz or to freshen up your makeup, its great for travelling to stop your skin drying out or breaking out. A bottle of this will really last you as i’d say 2-3 sprays is all you need. You can purchase a smaller bottle from feel unique for £9.90 with FREE delivery. I highly recommend it and plan on purchasing it for all my girlfriends birthdays this year. So all in all I think its going to be a staple in  my makeup bag from now on.
