I saw the fab reviews and I by chance found this discounted at a T.J. Maxx store for more than half off.
Such a fabulous discount I decided its worth trying.
It looks like water in a spray bottle.
It has an orange frangrance to it.
Quite pleasant.
I would not use this as a toner after cleansing.
It is more like a good refresher for my makeup if I didnt use enough moisturizer.
It can quite refreshing for the bareskin.
I can't imagine myself buying this product for full price.

dermatologcally tested
fragrance free
does not effect makeup
mineral oil free
silicone free
clorine free
acid free
and
they dont test on animals

this is enough reason for me to buy the spray! on top of alll that it smell yummy and has no coloring in it (like MACs spray)
i should have bought all the "flavors" :)
if you run into this, give it a try... retail price 6.
so many benifitsfor such a good price, makes me wonder why have i been buying mac's charged water?!?!

OH and the best part... IT HAS AN EXP. DATE printed on both the box anddd the bottle, so no more guess work!

edit- i have noticed that this does nothing for your makeup! (powder) does not set it or make it look less powdery.
also i have to take back what i said about the "yummy" smell...its actually kinda gross lol

Great setting spray. I use daily over my MMU. It sets the makeup and removes the sometimes chalky finish of MMU. Does not irritate or break out my skin. Purchased at TJ Maxx for a great price. Will repurchase if I can find again but there are lots of face waters to try.

I received this in a swap recently and I'm very happy with it. I use it as a toner because it is very soothing and smells superb! Sometimes I think I over-tone my face with more harsh products, so this gives me a nice break. I use it under moisturizer, primer and pur minerals foundation. It keeps my skin supple, moist and hydrated. Did I mention the wonderful smell?

I really like this stuff. I purchased on a whim at TJ Maxx at a great price. I wanted to try face water to set my makeup and this stuff is great. I apply it after my mineral foundation and it makes my makeup look flawless instead of powdered. I would recommend this to anyone.

I have the hammemelis (SP) version of this. It smells very aquatic, i'm not sure i'm 100% into the smell of it and may try the orange blossom after to see which i like. I just wanted something different because everyone else has orange.

It is really pleasant, other than refresh this product is not supposed to do anything else but it does what it's meant to. 1 lippy off for price as it is expensive but beautifully packaged and worth buying again.

I tried this on Sephora and my boyfriend said it gave me an instant glow. I looked in the mirror and it was true. There was a nice glow. I will be buying this soon.

Not overly impressed with this , I told the Korres SA that I needed something hydrating for long haul flights, she suggested this, I was sceptical because most water sprays just end up drying you out more. She insisted it was good for flying, maybe it is for short hops, but I can tell you on the last 11 hour flight I took this made my face even more dry and tight after it had evaporated , luckilly I had some moisturiser knocking around otherwise it could have been seriously unpleasant. I think as a toner or a refreshing pick-me-up this is probably is fine, but for flying it really sucks.

This is a nice product, not essential, but nice. Very refreshing, helps relieve tightness, sensitive skin flare-ups, and even nice for headaches and hangovers ;)

This somehow makes my skin feel soft and velvety! I spray it over my make up and it doesn't affect it at all, even when I'm wearing powders. I used this when I was looking all tired in conjuction with my evian spray and when I entered the room my boyfriend said I was glowing! A great pick- me-up when you feel and look tired. It has now become a staple!

This is the first time I tried such a product having always believed that a moisturizing water is really just another gimmick to sell toner which I don't personally use. Anyways, I purchased this water because spending hours in an air conditioned office really wears down my makeup and a VERY light moisturizer seems to fit the perk-me-up bill. On the Sephora website, it was said that this spray will not affect makeup. I doubt I would be spraying this near my eye makeup (you are not suppose to use this near your eyes anyways) but it does seem to add suppleness to my skin without disolving my bronzers (I use a cream bronzer so I'm not sure if this would work over powder makeup). I like the scent, which is prominent but not overwhelming. When it gets hotter, I might put mine in the fridge and use it cold. This is a great product. I wish there will be a travel size bottle because the 100ml container is sleek but still somewhat cumbersome for a small bag. UPDATE: I've taken on using this atop my moisturizers. I don't know if there are any actual skincare benefits in doing this, however, a couple sprays of this does lend an incredibly smooth, supple finish and works wonderfully as a makeup base. Used as such, this product counts as a HG.

I'm always a sucker for sleek packaging. I'm glad I can put Korres products on my bathroom shelves without getting the same weird looks when I put BBW bottles (the older ones :P) up instead! Anyways... This product is a very light, moisturizing orange blossom water spray which smells light and airy and also does wonders for tired skin. I went to Chicago recently and ran around O'Hare, and was very glad to have this in my bag before and after my flights. It's sort of pricey, 18.00 or so for 100 mL, but it's a very nice product.
