3CE: Energy Mist


3CE has been coming out with lots of on trend and exciting make up and skincare. Recently they launch the Energy Mist which is one of their 3 new facial mist launches. The other include Glamour Mist and Honey Water Mist.

Facial mist are becoming more and more popular. I first encountered it when I was watching Secret Garden!! The actresses where all spraying facial mist so I went online to purchase my first facial mist. It just seemed like such a fun and refreshing concept. Facial mist are sprays which contains nutrients for the skin which can calm, soothe, refresh and replenish the skin. They can be quite handy to pack in your handbag during a hot summers days or just for refreshing your make up.

3CE Energy Mist is different from other facial mist as it has a gel like formula. It claims to contain fermented vitamin sorghun and hyaluronic acid. When sprayed on the face it gives a really cool and refreshing sensation as with any other facial spray but as the moisture becomes absorbed into the skin, the skin immediately looks more hydrated and plumper. My pores appear more refined and my skin appears nice and dewy. When used after make up as a setting spray it gives a really natural glow without looking oily. I really like the natural dewy finish this mist gives. It is especially good for using throughout the day or when your skin appears dull. There is not much scent to the product just a little fragrance but I feel like the scent is very soothing and relaxing.

I like to use the spray to set my make up as it gives a dewy finish. It also makes my foundation/ bb cream appear more thin and close to the skin giving a natural (no make up) look. For mid day touch up I blot my face with blotting sheets as I have oily skin then use this spray. Sometimes I apply some press powder on top and I'm ready to go again.

The only con I have about this product is the spray. I don't feel like the spray 'mist'. I feel like if the spray sprays more like a mist the product would be perfect. Its not a bad spray just need a few sprays at different angles to cover all areas of the face.

All and all I like the jelly texture of this spray and it provides a promising result for the skin. It's especially good for individuals who suffer from dry/ dull skin. If you are looking for a good facial mist I highly rate this mist.

What's as good to the skin as natural ingredients which can be found straight from your kitchen. These are free from chemicals and perservatives. Oatmeal is one ingredient that is cheap and effective in getting healthy glowing skin. Oatmeal acts as a gentle cleanser with an ability to relieve red, itchy irritated skin and can remove unwanted dirt and impurities from the skin.

In this DIY oatmeal mask you will need:-
  • Oatmeal 2tsp
  • Natural yoghurt 2 tsp
  • Honey 1/4 tsp
  • Apple cider vinegar (optional)

Natural yoghurt contains lactic acid which acts as a natural exfoliate combatting dull and dry skin. It also has high hydrating properties which leaves the skin feeling moist and subtle. With the addition of honey the moisturizing factor can be heightened with an added benefit of lightening. Honey can lighten scars and has a healing propety which can accelerate the rate of healthy new skin.

This mask is suitable for all skintype as the oatmeal is very gentle making it suitable for sensitve skin but at the same time can combat problematic issues without being drying. For those who doesn't suffer from sensitive skin can also add a few drops of apple cider vinegar. This can increase the effectiveness of the masks by acting as a peel. ACV can also help combat acne and wrinkles.
