Kristin compared the Watermelon Glow Ultra-Fine Mist to the Watermelon Facial Mist. Here's what they had to say:
*Note - Trader Joe's products need to be purchased in person, we have linked the info page here, but this mask is not available for purchase online. Brandefy ingredient note: Both of these products contain watermelon which has antioxidants known to soothe skin and reduce signs of aging. They also both contain Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronic), which hydrates skin. They also have rice and other extracts to help soothe the skin. Kristin says: I have to admit that I have heard a lot of positive reviews about the Glow Recipe mist, and when I saw that Trader Joe's had released a pretty obvious attempt at a dupe, I was excited to compare them. Both of these products need to be shaken up before use and both have a watermelon candy scent, although I think that the Trader Joe's mist is more heavily scented. I preferred both of these products after makeup application, rather than before, but they do help hydrate the skin either way. I found that neither product disturbed my makeup, when wearing either powder or liquid base products. I liked the dewy effect that both mists gave my skin, and neither really helped extend the life of my makeup, but didn't wear it down more quickly either. The biggest difference is the spray mechanism - the Glow Recipe mist dispenses in a VERY soft spray, which they describe as 'fog-like.' The Trader Joe's spray is not nearly as soft and wasn't honestly remarkable in any way. This wouldn't ordinarily be an issue, but it doesn't dupe the experience of the Glow Recipe. (I did find that the best way to replicate the Glow Recipe spray with the Trader Joe's was to gently spray pointing upward onto my face.) Unfortunately, this isn't a dupe that will replace the much pricier item here. But if you're looking for a nice facial mist in a yummy smelling scent, the Trader Joe's is a nice summer find!
