Have you heard of AquaSplash?

It is a make up mist which provides instant mattification once sprayed upon and oily areas of your face!

"Your mid-day touch-up that instantly freshens-up your makeup and gets rid of shine. Made with 100% refined water, this touch-up mist cools skin with chamomile extract and contains sebum absorbing powder. Perfect for touch-ups on the go! No blotters or powder necessary!" - Ettusais 
I have combination/oily skin condition which means that my make up will literally melts half way through my day.

This is very annoying as I hated the greasy feeling caused by all the sebum and it increases my break out rates and of course, it ruins my make up which I had put in so much effort into keeping it flawless .

-.- Not cool.

I chanced upon this lil gem while reading Cleo Magazine(Which i love btw!) and was intrigued.

However, I did my homework and research on it to see the different people's opinions about it.
I came to the conclusion that it was worth a try and so I bought it.

This is me with oily, greasy face ):
The areas circled in red are the common areas that gets extremely greasy.

Step 1: Shake the bottle well

Step 2 : Hold it about an arm's length away from your face and spray! 
(Rmb to close your eyes as you do so!)


TADAH!

Instant mattification!
(Sidenote: Sorry for the poor quality pictures. Taken by a webcam thus the quality. You probably cant see any significant diff but take my words, the areas which was greasy are now matte.)


However, this product do come with some disadvantages.

It is advice to you that after spraying it onto your face, you should pat the area dry as if you dont, it will leave streaks of dried white powder on your face!

 This might cause your make up to smudge slightly.

Also, the mattification only lasted for around 3 hours for me.
And so I had to repeat the steps quite a number of times.

But overall, I would still buy this product as it does a much better job in keeping the face matte than those oil blotter papers.



Ratings: 4/5
Reccomended buy!

Sidenote: Thanks Juswin once again for the chips! (:
