i prefer fix+.
i think evian is only meant to be used on bare skin, at least that's how i've always used it...hmm, i'd never even thought of the products being comparable though, but now that i think of it, they are pretty similar
I use Fix+ to take the powdered look off dry skin only, but for oily to normal skin I mist off with Evian. It's the same effect, just that fix+ has glycerin in it (probably too much, IMO). Both need an equally light touch.

Coincidentally, I bought Avéne spray (which is quite comparable to Evian) and start using it, before my next haul to MAC where I expect to buy Fix+ (it's all your fault!!!
). I tried it this morning - and I'll tell you that I had quite a heavy hand today and looked kind of cakey) and it really softened the cakey look. I can't compare it to Fix+ yet, although I have combination skin, but the results with Eau d'Avéne spray were quite good!
Actually, over both of them, I prefer Charged Water...I know some of the freestanding MAC stores still have them hiding out, and possibly some of the counters too...if you can get your hands on a bottle of that stuff, it's really awesome (and since it's getting warmer, keep it in your refrigerator...makes for a really nice pick-me-up on those super hot days
Evian spray is just water but in an aerosol type can. It sprays a really fine continuous mist of water. I don't like buffing with it but I do like to use it when I overdose on powder.
I love Evian spray. Fix+ is too heavy for my oily combo skin (esp with the warm weather my town is having). The glycerin just no likey my oil, lol.
I've never tried the Evian spray since it's just spring water I think it is in an aerosal can. There's nothing else in it, just water. But on the other hand the Fix+ spray has all kinds of minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants for your skin. It's sort of like vitamin water for your face! I love it!
But I do have to agree that sometimes it can make me a bit oily if I over do it since it does have glycerin in it.
