Melissa's DeLush Downlow: Hmmmm...I've seen this brand in the drugstores lately and have really wondered what to think about it. Is it wrong for me to be attracted to its serene blue and white packaging? Well, that's not all I was looking at when I decided to try this facial mist. Especially with the summer heat, I've been looking for a way to refresh my skin even after I've got makeup on.

This mist goes on cool and super fine - so as far as freshening up goes, it's a winner. My husband felt it as he sat next to me in the car and some wasped over...he said "hey, that feels good!" And it seems to be very clean and pure. Also, I was concerned that this would add a lot of unwanted greasiness to my already combination skin (which acts up in the summertime). I've used this for about 2 1/2 weeks at least once a day, sometimes 3 or 4, and haven't noticed a significant increase in oiliness, which has made me very happy.

I have a feeling that I could get more prevalent moisturizing effects from another mist, which I'm going to look into in the near future. What I mean is that aside from just depositing water, perhaps something that deposits moisturizing ingredients as well. I hear good things about Clinique's facial mist. However, at the price, and for the purpose of adding some cooling moisture, this is an very acceptable option. I think I'll give Lumene's other products a try as well...

One big negative? Hellooooo? The spray canister is HUGE. I've put it in my large purse at work every day, but I'd love to see them make a travel size for smaller handbags or packing ease. It's about the size of a medium hairspray bottle. It's do-able, but would be better if it were a bit more portable.

Retail Price: $8.99 (drugstores)
