The name OMOROVICZA keeps popping up on many overseas beauty blogs and obviously its piqued my interest, so what better product to try first than their bestseller in the form of the
Queen of Hungary Mist
As with many overseas brands, that we don't get in South Africa, I always try to give you a brief overview of the brand and its beginnings and this one is quite interesting and fairytale like.
The Omorovicza journey began over 2,000 years ago, when the healing properties of Hungary's thermal waters were discovered and the first thermal baths were built.
At the turn of the millennium, Stephen de Heinrich de Omorovicza was living in Budapest when he first met US diplomat Margaret, Chief of Staff at the US Embassy in Hungary.
Stephen took Margaret to the baths his family built. The couple observed the healing powers of these waters on their skin and decided to embark on a quest to harness its curative power within a range of skincare products.
The Queen of Hungary’s water was the 'original' perfume, formulated in Europe at the command of Queen Elizabeth of Hungary. Legend has it that the water was ‘created’
as a beauty treatment which was so successful that it led the king
(aged just 25 years) to propose marriage when she was nearing the end of her life…
The Omoroviczas revived a 14th Century beauty recipe, originally devised for
Queen Elizabeth of Hungary, to create this purifying, toning and protective facial mist, adored for its phenomenal rejuvenating properties.
Starring Hungary’s mineral-rich thermal waters (the earth’s crust is thinner there, which is why the waters are jam-packed with skin-beneficial elements),
this mist delivers these precious waters’ magical, healing properties to your skin’s lowest levels, where the minerals kick-start repair and stimulate regeneration.
It can be sprayed at any time on face, body and hair.
Hold bottle at least 6 inches away and keep out of eyes.
The mist does not contain alcohol.
It can be used as a daily toner or to mist skin mid-flight, pre make up or anytime
of the day, just to maintain moisture levels.
As with all of these types of facial mists, they're "nice to have" products if your beauty budget allows and whilst I found this one to be particularly luxurious, refreshing (thanks to the Orange Blossom/Rose and Sage) and pleasant to use, it is on the pricey side.
Now that I have tried I personally feel that this product is a little over-hyped and I'm not too sold on the "precious water with magical healing properties" spiel, however it is their best selling product with a cult following, but to be honest I still prefer my beloved Caudalie Beauty Elixir and it's way more affordable.
I would love to know in the comments box below if you have ever used and what
you think of this facial mist.
