MAC Prep + Prime Fix + Extension (Summer 2015)

[Addict4MAC]

I guess this confirms what we already knew.. :sigh:

I have never tried the Prep + Prime Fix +, how does everyone use this? Before or after makeup applicaiton??

I use it to take the powdery look away after I'm done with my makeup. Also if I'm sweaty and gross in the summer it can be refreshing to just mist it whenever.

Has anyone smelled Yuzu yet?

I found them all after I ordered already being sold at Nordstrom, pretty disappointed with all but Lavender. Cucumber was strong and had a kind of fresh grass, cucumber smell... for some reason it smelled salty, but that could just have been to me. It just wasnt for me. Rose was strong and powdery smelling. Again, not for me. But Coconut just disappointed, it was too subtle and kind of smelled like Sunblock. and Yuzu was really mild and I had to keep sniffing to find the scent. I would prefer the original fix+ scent to something I cant really smell. So for me, I should have just stuck with what I knew I wanted, which was Lavender. Oh well. Can always return the other ones I ordered.

that's exactly how I use it too!! I also use it before i apply and spritz my brush AFTER I've applied powder foundation n sweep it on my face too!

I just tested these in store. The cucumber triggers my memories of eating sushi for some weird reason. Coconut smells rather lotion-y but it wasn't bad. Lavender was ok but not as I expected. Rose also reminds me of something I've smelled before, maybe a drugstore product? It wasn't overly floral or anything, it was just right. They are all nice but I took home yuzu as it was the most pleasing for me. Fresh, citrusy, not overwhelming. I think I'm done with the collection. I don't feel like I need to hoard. I will be happy with the original even if these sold out.

I can honestly see these in CCO's later on down the line!

Thanks so much for the review. My Rose should arrive today and I am going in store to check out Yuzu. I think I'll be good with those two. I have noticed since these were announced I have been a lot more generous with my Fix +. Maybe I am subconsciously trying to get through mine to help justify paying $50 for two bottles of scented water.

After I finished my bottle of Fix + I bought organic rosewater and then I purchased two bottles of Evian spray both work just as good. Fix + doesn't set my makeup so I just used it for my brushes and to take away that powdery makeup look. I've purchased the Avon setting spray twice & I really like it even better than UD.

I just noticed over the weekend that I have a little less than half left of my bottle. I may get one of these. Still not sure which fragrance to get. Leaning towards Cucumber...I need to catch up on posts to see which are the hits. OMG love the Avon setting spray! I was surprised when I first tried it last summer.

Got my Rose today! I love, love, love it. I am picking up one more on Thursday but I really wish they would make Rose permanent.

lavender smells like a typical bath n body works type lavender vs a more organic lav scent and coconut is just eeeeh coconut. the scents dnt bother me but the regular scent i'd be just fine with honestly!!

I'm think I feel the last sentence you said. I want a scent but do I really need a scent lol especially if the smells aren't strong

I just received my MAC order with lavender and coconut Fix +.

I don't like either one of them. Lavender smells like cheap men's cologne to me. It smells like a mild version of Chi Keratin Mist or Lush's Olive Branch shower gel. I'm not really getting a nice lavender scent, not even an artificial one. Coconut does not smell like coconut at all. It has a very very mild scent that fades quickly. I think it smells like paste, but not the good Elmer's kind- the other stink one. Plaster! That's what it is, but it is very subtle. These will both be going back and I will continue to use my original and the Mario Badescu Rosewater mist. If you like the Rose scent, you might like that mist and it's only $6-7.

I really wish MAC would have used natural oils or ingredients in these. Such a disappointment.

My coconut and yuzu came. Yuzu is nice and refreshing, coconut is just okay. I'll use them, but won't get any more of them. I far prefer the original Fix+ scent.

I'm going to try Yuzu tomorrow.

EDIT -- I did pick up Yuzu so now I have Yuzu and Rose. I really liked cucumber as well. Lavender was very faint and I just am not a fan of coconut.

 

[HeatherGrinnell]

I picked up a couple of Lavenders. I really liked the smell. I was really disappointed with the rose and coconut scent. The coconut scent smelled really off to me.

I picked up Yuzu today. I liked it the best out of all them.

 

[sdsamler]

Reading this just gave me an idea of whether to add a few drops of my Lavender essential oil and Coconut oil to their respective bottles. Anyone know if that would help or hurt the formula?
