NUDE SKINCARE HYDRATING WATER SPRAY

fun smooth rubbery lilac spray bottle

Happy Monday! Here's hoping everyone had a really great weekend. Get ready to be bombarded with loads of reviews, hauls and fall fashion.beauty trend reports as I'm back in Venus mode.

Well let's get to it then... Up for review today is Nude Skincare's Hydrating Water Spray sent to me for my consideration from publicity. This was actually sent a few days before I left and had the chance to use it for a couple of weeks daily/nightly and fell in love with it. But before I talk about this hydrating spray some info on the brand. As most of you already know NUDE is a brand created in part by Ali Hewson, whom is U2 Rocker's Bono's wife, but who doesn't know that. Seriously? And I'm controlling myself from going in an all out crazed fan rant on my teenage obsession with U2 and how I own every Cd, Cd/Set, concert video they ever made because were talking about skincare right now. Oh and if you haven't noticed, NUDE is EDUN backwards which is from Ali's first fair trade clothing venture of the same name which was meant to be NUDE spelled backwards. So now it's EDUN spelled backwards, loves it! Brand, product info below.

NUDE Hydrating Water:

NUDE Skincare's refreshing rose and vanilla floral water removes final traces of cleanser and locks in moisture, leaving skin calm and beautifully soft. Mist natural toner onto clean skin and wipe gently with a cotton pad. A skincare essential, Hydrating Water is perfect for setting make up and instant refreshment. Revives normal, dry and sensitive skins.

Beautiful without parabens, sulphates, PEGs, TEA, DEA, propylene glycol, phthalates, GMO, mineral oil and silicones

NUDE founder Bryan Meehan learnt how the right nutrition supports the way the body works and, more specifically, looks and feels, when he set up Fresh&Wild natural health food stores around London. He understood that the skin is the largest organ in the body and it made sense to feed it well.  His customers wanted to avoid potentially harmful skincare ingredients but they didn’t believe ‘natural’ could deliver the same results as ordinary skincare. Bryan believed  ‘natural’ could deliver better results.... Inspired by Bryan’s conviction and armed with the experience and passion for ethical business, friend and co-founder Ali Hewson joined Bryan to create NUDE, now synonymous with high performance, luxury, natural skincare.

Pro: harmful chemical free, cruelty free, non-irritating, refreshing, quick absorption, no residue, travel friendly, sets makeup

Con: although the ingredients incorporate natural essences they are not organic, may be considered pricey, a faint hint of rose scent (strictly personal-I can't tolerate rose scent) although very subtle and non intrusive.

VENUS TIP:

Hydrating Water's Dual Use/Purpose- Can be used as a makeup setting spray. I tested this in humid weather and my makeup stayed fresh until evening

My Results: This lightweight feeling hydrating spray comes in very handy when you need a quick moisture mist without having to apply heavy cream. I love that it also works as a makeup setting spray and it does work because I tested it out in very humid weather. I think this product would be perfect for winter weather when your face is always exposed to the harsh elements, you can carry it in your bag and mist your skin for on the go moisture anywhere.

Packaging: The spray comes packaged in this lovely innovative lilac rectangular spray bottle made out of this smooth rubbery material but not the sticky kind where debris would stick to it. The material is recyclable and if you don't have a recycling program in your area you can send the bottles to the company and they will recycle for you. Wonderful!

Formula: The formula is very lightweight and quickly absorbs into your skin. It contains hints of rose water, prickly pear, vanilla and grapefruit. The scent is very subtle but it contains roses and I'm sure I have blathered endlessly on my loathing of rose scents & roses altogether so it's a little bit of a turn off for me. But I have to state it's very faint and non intrusive, it's more of a personal quirk for me. It does make your skin feel refreshed and moist but then quickly drys which is great for not having shine but those with severe dry skin might not like this. Still it gives you a nice refreshed boost on the spot. The ingredients are chemical free, cruelty free and contain many naturals but it is not an organic product and the site states they feel the performance level would be less if the line were organic. I don't know if I agree with this because having used Beauty Without Cruelty I find they deliver what they promised.

All in all, it's a great brand that is concerned with the environment, harmful chemical free and they don't animal test which is huge for me which is why I'm giving it a great 4.5 starfish rating. The price is a bit high but a little goes a long way so this and the non organic factor is the reason for my rating. I definitely would recommend you try this spray out as it's great to have on hand, travel with and serves as a makeup setting spray. I'm excited to see what other items I will try out from the rest of the line.Has anyone tried this yet? Opinions? Stay beautiful! XOXO
