Product Description
Refresh, set, go! This refreshing facial mist instantly awakens the skin with a soothing touch of hydration in an ultra-fine spray. Powered by our superfruit blend, rich in antioxidants and vitamins, this ultra-fine mist leaves skin feeling reinvigorated and looking healthy.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist is a TSA approved size of 100ml so you can definitely bring this on your travels. It comes in a clear plastic bottle with a nozzle that dispenses the right amount of mist without feeling that its too fine or too heavy to the point of being drenched.
There is a subtle energizing scent of lemon water, rose and bergamot which reinvigorate your skin and senses. Unfortunately, it contains perfume which I rather do without.
Performance and Ingredients
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist is perfect for that mist in the morning, post-sweat, pre touch-up or before beauty sleep. I usually use it as a toner, after cleansing and before serum. I also use it whenever my skin feels oily and needs a refresh.
The hydrating mist provides that instant hit of hydration, making one feel refreshed and calmed. It evaporates pretty fast so apply your serum within that time frame as products tend to absorb better on damp skin.
Occasionally I also use it like a mask in the mornings, where I pour the hydrating mist into those
compressed mask ( you are supposed to soak the compressed mask in the liquid ), the mask would become swollen, unfold it and apply on your face like a sheet mask for 10 minutes. It makes my skin smooth and well-hydrated and my make-up goes on smoothly.
Do note that when I first started using the mist, there was a spicy sensation on the skin which lasted several weeks before its gone. And if I haven't use the mist for a while, the spicy sensation would appear again. This 100ml bottle lasted me for 5 months with once-a-day usage.

Conclusion
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Miracle Hydrating Mist is a decent product but I believe I can find better products with that price tag. It provides you with that immediate burst of hydration and if you need more hydration in the mornings ( due to lack of sleep or fatigue from the previous nights ), just douse them in the compressed mask and use it like a mask for 10 minutes before you apply make-up. It hydrates your skin, your makeup goes on smoothly and overall, gives you a less tired look instantly.
