Charged water, fused with vital ions from a diamond and instilled with a spirit-lifting therapeutic aroma, then delivered to the skin in the soothing aura of a revitalizing hydrating mist. Like its source – a diamond – on application it makes the skin feel clear, sparkling, pure and energized. Its aroma, a blend of green tea and citrus.

Jheng was telling me how addicting the MAC Charged Water was as she just could not help but spritz it on her face during idle hours. I got intrigued as Zeldy of MAC spritzed this on Aiza Seguerra’s face as she evened out her liquid foundation application. So there, as I was on my weekly visit to the MAC counter at Glorietta, I grabbed a bottle for myself ( as the Fix+ was out of stock ), and took it home with me.

I just love, love moisture mists. I have Nu Skin Moisture Mist at home, and I use Evian on my models. And I’m telling you, MAC Charged Water is so mine, mine, mine! It smells heavenly, just the way I like it - very aromatherapeutic. I cannot quite explain its effect on me but it smells wonderful and affects my senses - it somehow calms or lifts my mood somehow ( despite my horrible mood swings lately LOL ). I spray this on my face after using toner, before moisturizing, and just during random moments when my skin’d feel icky and I’d want to feel more refreshed and recharged for the day.

I have no claims on how it improves my skin with their special ingredients - the unique, soothing fragrance and the refreshing feeling I get from it is already enough.

I also happen to love the packaging for I am the type of girl who loses stuff ALOT. ( Yes, I’m such a klutz! ). No more separate lids for me, MAC Charged Water, just like the new MAC Foundations, wherein you just have to twist the upper black part of the bottle to be able to pump and release the product!

I’ve yet to try the MAC Fix+ for setting my makeup, and I am also considering checking out Ben Nye’s Final Seal or Makeup Forever’s Fixing Spray. For now, MAC Charged Water will be on my fridge when I’m at home, and in my vanity kit when I’m out! Yipee!

    Hi Sophie! I’ve been using Shu Uemura Depsea Spray. Love its aromatherapeutic effect and scent as well. Is the MAC Charged Water better? I so wanted to use it long before but every time, I end up buying the Shu Uemura.

    Hi Therese :) I haven’t tried the Depsea Spray myself, perhaps I should visit the Shu counter this weekend to try it out for myself :) For now, I’m totally in love with the Charged Water :)

All my hauls are “push” from my hubby, he’s super supportive and I’m the guilty one! He’ll be like, “buy! You’ll be using it for sure! It’s not like you’re just going to leave it there” sweet! :) Thanksf or the added tip! I may look into MAC 187 brush!!! expensive!!! accckkk!
