It's water with some kind of magical elements that make you *at least* 5% prettier after using it. I'm pretty sure there is sugar, spice, everything nice.
I don't like spraying it directly on to my face because I tend to stupidly concentrate it in one spot so what I do is, after I put on my blush, msf's and powder my tzone - I spray a large fluffy powder brush with Fix+ (1 spray should do) then run lightly over my face. Then I start glowing!! I don't think it should ruin your liquid foundation if you set it with powder first.

I hope this makes sense? |

Hello loves! I signed up on Specktra some odd months ago, but I never really use it & join in on discussions. But here I am now! [:
If there's one thing I want from this collection, it's got to be Just a Pinch Gel Blush! It kind of reminds me of Benefit Cosmetic's Benetint, but in gel form & about $10 less expensive.
I'm so stoked to try this out & see swatches!

Good for you! I need to start skipping some collections but I can't resist skipping the BPB from this collection and a few of the eye shadows.
I have never used fix+ before but after all of the positive reviews on here I might have to give the rose one a try.

I'm not sure if I really want much from this collection anymore. The BP's are pretty to look at, but unless the colour actually shows up, i will be skipping it. Honestly, i have a few BP's already that don't get much use. I am considering Circa Plum, which i skipped last year, because it looks so nice with Mutiny.
I also haven't used the fix+, and so far i've been fine without it, my make-up stays all day long without budging, so, don't really think i need to introduce anything more to my routine, it's long enough already!
Why am i thinking there's a fragrance with this collection? If so, I will definitely be checking that out.

Well to be 5% prettier I am in...
I want to try fix+ for the glowy effect. Do any you feel it actually hydrates?
I never buy it because I feel like i am being duped into buying water

yes Nora, Circa Plum is uber pretty, I'm surprised you didn't already have it, being that us bimbos are quite the purple-holics! !

It definitely feels quite different to having water on your face. Water just kind of sits there and then dries and personally it makes my skin feel tighter. The Fix+ has ingredients in it that are hydrating so that when it dries your face feels very comfortable. I wouldn't say that it makes you glow just on its own, I think it allows the pigment in your makeup to shine through better thus giving you a glowy appearance.
Here is an ingredient list I found:
Water, glycerin, butylene glycol, cucumber fruit extract, chamomilla, camellia leaf extract, tocophryl acetate, caffeine, panthenol, hydrogenated castor oil, fragrance.
^^I cannot wait to get the Fix Rose!!! I think it's a lovely product normally and the rose will make you maybe like 6% prettier!

Here's your extra 1%. I got the fix+ because of the hype, didn't really know what it would do for me, but I've been using it before foundation, after makeup is done, I apply it to my brushes for pigments, grand duos and msf's. Every day I seem to get another idea on how to use it, I think this will soon become my favorite makeup item. Additionally, I can't really do fragrances (due to my line of work and it gives me bad headaches), but the fix+ scent is light and refreshing, and I don't find it powerful or lingering. I'll have to see about this +Rose one though, I'm a bit nervous about the fragrance.
