A friend had helped to get Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist for me at US$9 for a 30ml bottle. However, I was quite dismayed to find that it contains alcohol as the 2nd ingredient.

The 30ml bottle (there is a 100ml version too) comes in a small and handy size but its made of glass which made bringing it around abit inconvenient. I quite like how the spray nozzle is, because unlike most other facial sprays I came across, which is either a too fine mist or too loud burst of mist, this Jurlique fits my needs perfectly, falling inbetween the fine and burst kind. Not too much and not too little, just how I like it to be.

Its my first product from Jurlique because their products are pretty much out of my limited budget. So I really look forward to using my first Jurlique product and fortunately, it did not disappoint me.

I used this as a toner, or as a refreshing mist after my regular toner. I love the rose scent. It just perks me up and its very refreshing and soothing. Especially useful when I have a bad day at work and I can just indulge in the scent to keep me at peace.
To be honest, it actually reminded me of the Rose Bandung drink but I like this hydrating mist better, of course.

It kept my skin hydrated and I did not have any flaky issues on my skin during the 2 weeks of usage. Even when I have some blemishes on my chin, the flakiness, usually associated with using my blemish gel was so mild that I was surprised. My zits healed fast too, though I am not sure if this hydrating mist did help to speed up the healing process.

However, its just too expensive for me to do a re-purchase if there is no promotion.
And probably because of the alcohol content, I felt that it evaporates from the skin pretty fast too, though not nearly as fast as the Caudalie Beauty Elixir.

I used up the bottle in 3 weeks. The spritz from the nozzle was getting lesser and lesser near the end of the contents in the bottle, probably due to the short nozzle.

It scored an impressive 9 from 4 users on Total Beauty and 4.1 from 10 users in Makeupalley

Update (21st June 2017) :

I purchased the Beautiful Rituals Face Care set at AUD130 ( worth AUD173 ) in Australia last year which comprises of Rosewater Balancing Mist 100ml, Rose Moisture Plus Moisturising Cream Mask 100ml and Skin Balancing Face Oil 50ml. 

7 years since my last purchase, Jurlique still works well for me. Hooray!
