I rinsed out a deluxe sample vial of perfume I had lying around which has a spray head, and filled it up with Fix+. The misting action is still very good, and now I have my own ultra-mini Fix+ in my handbag for beauty emergencies :-) It holds maybe 5ml or so which isn't that much, but it's pretty easy to refill it again.

Good idea!


-------------------------------------------------------------------


I don't have Fix+ yet b/c ...well, what I read on the first page of this post. Someone talked about caffeine on the skin deteroriating connective tissue. Does anyone know anything about this?

I am always super cautious about which products I use on my skin, and what I mean by this is, I do not use anything that may hinder what my skin already makes naturally. Like if you look at alot of cosmetic companies these days, especially high-end ones, their products contain either anti-aging or preventage ingredients. These things are fine when you are 35+, or when the time comes your skin NATURALLY slows down making collagen or other firming necessities. Your skin does a good job for a while keeping itself line-free and firm. If a person uses these products too early, like in their teens or early/late twenties (depends on the person), it actually slows down their body's natural ability to produce collagen, etc.

I've never heard of caffeine deteroriating skin tissue, I will look it up shortly, I've only heard of its temporary affects to plump the skin (by increasing circulation).


Does anyone know about this??

Thanx!

Re: Fix+

I use Fix + with my pigments/eyeshadows and it definitely makes them easier to work with. I don't get creasing either, which is great! I'm running around in a hospital all day, so my makeup's gotta stay in place.

Re: Fix+

When I spray Fix+ on my face to set my makeup, it ends up stinging my skin a bit. Does anyone have this problem? It doesn't hurt that much but I just wanted to know if it was normal.

Re: Fix+

I love my Fix + but I havent been using it that much lately. I don't spray it directly onto my face and body I always spray it into the air and move into it so that I don't have that "greasy" look.

Re: Fix+

I use it every morning. After applying your powder you spray it on and then your face does not look powdery

Re: Fix+

I can't wait to get me some fix plus. I am trying to decide if I should wait for the Fix+ Rose. On one hand I want it NOW and dont want to wait and on the other hand I think I should just wait for the Rose one because it will smell better!!!

Re: Fix+

I like it and I dont like it. If I had to chose if i did or not I'd say I can live without it. If I really wanted to make my face duewy I'd just use the strobe cream and set my face with a set powder lightly.

Re: Fix+

i'm pretty sure i'm going to buy this. when i was younger i would spray a bottle of water in the air and walk into it so i didn't have a powdery look....i think that's how i'll use this...

I've been hearing a lot of good things about Fix+ but could never really make up my mind, with the Fix+rose coming out soon, I think I'll finally give it a chance.

How far away do you spray it? I've noticed if I spray too close, or use too much that my face feels greasy too. You can also just spray it on your brush and apply it that way, so you can control where it goes. Don't give up

Re: Fix+

I don't think anyone else mentioned this but Fix+ is also good for redness.... I'm NC50 and sometimes I breakout...and the area is red...I wash my face apply moisturizer and Spray the Fix+ in the air towards my face not directly on my face.... and within a few minutes the redness is gone...I love it!!

Re: Fix+

Today I sprayed Fix+ on my face since I had 5 and a half hours of sleep and my face did deserve to be awake and it worked. I can't wait to get Fix+ Rose soon so that I can compare to smell of both of them.

Re: Fix+

What advice would you give ladies with combination skin in terms of the fix+?

I let some girl at the MAC counter sucker me into buying the Fix+Rose. I think it will be rather handy for eyeshadows, pigments and beauty powder. I can actually apply it while I use my make up and it smells a helluva lot nicer than Aquanet hairspray. XDDDD

I have combination to oily skin and really like working with it.

Most of the time I spray it on a face brush and apply it with the brush then. Or I use pigments wet with it.

But you can also spray it all over your face, won't make your face oilier!

Re: Fix+

how do you use this with eyeshadow for foiling? does it mess up the shadow in the pan at all?

never use a wet brush in your shadow because yes it will wreck it. get the shadow on your brush and then lightly spray the fix+ on it. the only exception is mineral shadows - you can use a damp brush on those but you must make sure that the shadow is dry before you close the lid...

in general it's just easier to wet the brush after.

i love the fix+rose - i brought two back ups of it!
its great to wet shadows with, especially with lustre's!
but i mainly use mine to set and take away the powdery look of foundation, and after using my toner, before my moisturiser, i spray it on my face, and then massage my moisturiser into my face. it feels so good, and the moisturiser is absorbed in really quickly!
i hope they make the fix+rose permanent at some point or even just release it regularly (like Viva glam IV SE lipglass), i love it so much more than the original

Re: Fix+

This has convinced me to give the rose one a try. I was looking for an excuse to place an order for the double dazzle line! I'll let you know how I get on with it - I hope it's a nice sublte rose scent.

^Yes, it has a subtle rose scent and you will fall in love with it. Also, I need to use my Fix+ Rose more often.

I love Fix +, I find it to be refreshing and it helps to set my makeup. The Fix + Rose also smells really floral and good, but I think that I like the regular smell better.
