Mine doesn't really have a smell. Maybe you got a bunk one-??

My Fix+ never feels wet to me. I spray it on my face and I can see the moisture there, but it always feels ... like nothing! It does smell pretty good though. I love that stuff.

I also love the way Microfine Refinisher and Moisture Feed Skin (or studio moisture whatever lol) smells... Yeah, I'm weird but I think they kinda smell like oatmeal. Heh.

Duh....I actually should have recognized the vitamin E. I just picked out the chemical sounding names.
I've actually never smelled it. Is it just an additive for mixing eyeliner out of shadows & pigments? Maybe I need some...

Fix+ is a hydrating spray which gets my vote because of its caffeine content It is pleasant to spray on the face after makeup has been completed and it can also be used as a water based mixing medium.

Sounds like a great product! I hadn't paid attention before, really. Thanks for enlightening me on it!

Okay...I've been wanting to buy a bottle bc Risa is always posting her FOTDs and saying she used an MSF plus Fix+ or a pigment and Fix+, etc... Do you put the MSF on first, them spray, or spray your cheek, then quickly buff on the MSF, or wet the brush slightly then put it in the MSF, then on your face??

It doesn't smell at all to me. I like to spray it on sometimes but I don't know if it's the fix+ or what I've put on my face (moisture cream, foundation) but it seems to feel a little sticky.

You can use it both before and after. It is used to help set your makeup. It also is a refresher for the skin and can help rejuvenate your skin with vitamins.

There's another similar thread somewhere which might help! Search function will also help.

It can help make your makeup look less powdery and also be used a eyeshadow/pigment medium.

I love Fix+, it really gives an added depth to Lustre shadows & MSF when you spray it on after application. I'm oily and it has never given me a breakout.

I LOOOOVE mine. Especially with my mineral foundation, powder blush, MSF, and occasional dusting of blot powder, I NEED it to keep me from looking like a powder puff! It makes you all dewy and gorge!
