[Review] Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green Tea

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I apologize if there is already a review for this, but I couldn't find one, and I wanted to post this for anyone who debated this facial spray like I did.Product: Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber and Green TeaPrice: $7.00 for 4 oz (I bought the 2 oz. sample size at Ulta for $5)My Skin: fair, very oily/shiny, mildly dehydrated, moderate acne, some cystic acne, lots of closed comedones, not very sensitiveHow I Use It: I keep it in my purse and whenever my face feels dirty, greasy, or just not very fresh and clean, I spray my face liberally (6 or 7 sprays) with this, let it sit for maybe ten seconds, then dab it off with toilet paper. This is especially helpful for after I eat anything greasy and imagine it's all over my face.What I Like:It makes my face feel SO FRESH AND CLEAN! I seriously feel like I just cleansed and applied a super light moisturizer.The smell lingers and is subtle but pleasant. I love the scent - it has that very light cucumber/aloe scent like a lot of products, but more herbal/lime-y/citrusy.I liked the price point. I bought a sample sized bottle, and I think it will last me at least two months for $5.00.It doesn't irritate my skin at all, and it doesn't seem to be causing any dryness or breaking out or anything.What I Dislike:I wish it were a little more "cooling" like it's advertised, but I know a lot of people like to keep facial sprays in the fridge and I've never tried this. If I am still using this next summer, I'll get a second bottle to keep in the fridge.I wish the spray nozzle was a little nicer - if it were a finer mist it would feel a lot more luxurious (but maybe the full size bottle has a different sprayer).if I use it while wearing makeup, it takes off a little mascara and foundation (I don't wear waterproof anything).it tastes DISGUSTING. If I ever use this and forget to press my lips flat together and it gets on my mouth, the taste is so nasty and bitter, and I have to scrub my lips with paper towels and water to get rid of it. Rolling my lips together solves this, though.Ingredients: Aqua (Water, Eau), Propylene Glycol, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Leaf Water, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Water, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Propanediol, Polysorbate 20, Ethylhexylglycerin, Benzophenone-4, Parfum (Fragrance), Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Potassium Sorbate, Sodium Benzoate, CI 19140 (Yellow 5), CI 42090 (Blue 1), Hexyl Cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool
