I am not going to review this like my other reviews because this is to different. I recently decided to try the Moon Mousse Makeup Repair Kit. This boasts to be something that you can use to repair your broken eye shadows, blushes and powders. They had a semi-viral video that was cute (minus the bratty teenager with awful parents) which you can see below:
Basically the gist of this product is that it’s a formula you can put on your broken makeup to help fuse the loos particles together to create a nice, smooth and back-to-normal performing item. But does it work?
First of all, when you buy it you can only get it in a kit. The kit is $15 and includes two double ended pressing tools. (a large and small circle, and a larger square and small rectangle) as well as a plastic spatula and the actual moon mousse itself. There is currently no option to get the Moon Mousse without the kit. I also feel that the round pressing tool is a serious miss. The circles on either end are tiny and massive. There is nothing in between, which is odd because the rectangular option is small and medium/small. Anyways, I have yet to find a pan that the large one fits in.
The mousse smells nice, but a little powdery and works easily. All you have to do is break up your product until it is pretty fine, and then put some of the foam on top. Leave it alone for approximately 8 hours and then use the pressing tools to press it down into shape. The mousse takes a while to dry so I usually wait another day before trying to actually use it.
So how was the performance? I thought my makeup was close in quality. It also did not pack i don very ell and I pressed hard. Most of my item re-broke soon after and some had a filmy layer on top. Using the alcohol method is easier and better. It just evaporates and packs your makeup down better and it also doesn’t add any oils to the formula. Plus buying alcohol is WAY cheaper than this stuff and it dries faster. I don’t recommend this product in the end.
