Normally in The Body Shop I stay away from facial skincare,
not because I don’t want to try it, more I never know what I’d want to try. So
this time I thought I’d take the plunge.

| The Body Shop Vitamine E face mist |
After seeing Caroline Hirons, a skincare blogger, recommend the Vitamin E facialmist I knew I had to try it. It’s a facial mist you can spritz onto your face
throughout the day to provide constant moisture to dehydrated skin, which sounded
excellent for an aeroplane. And as Vitamin E is The Body Shop's best selling range I had nigh hopes that it would do just that!
I kept spritzing this on my face throughout the
plane, much to the annoyance of the stranger sat next to me. I can’t say that
whilst I was high in the sky that I really noticed a difference, but once I had
landed I did note that my face hadn't gained any dry patches and my make-up hadn't
got that cakey appearance that can often happen after a long day, never mind a
flight. For a 5 hour flight I think that is really good going, helping look a
little more presentable when I landed!
The little spritz every now and then also helped me to feel
(mentally) a little cleaner somehow, probably to do with the slight cooling feeling it provides and the light rosewater scent. But as its main use is as a skin pick me up i think it definitely achieved its aim.
Also whilst I was away I used it on an evening when we went
out for meals, whenever I popped into the bathroom I gave my face a quick
spritz and felt refreshed after. As for a make-up setting spray I've not really
tried it, I've stuck to my holy grail Urban Decay Setting spray especially when
it has been humid, but I've heard that it is meant to be really good.
The pink packaging is simple and clean looking, with a
simple pump at the top. It’s a handy size so it can be put in a clear bag and
popped into your hand luggage for flying or just chucked into your handbag day
to day. I’ll definite keep using the facial mist over the next few weeks and
hopefully it becomes a new holy grail product!
Overall review: 3½/5
