I just realized that I could write a post about this!
And it would make up for being all angry about issues today :)
Anyway before you read, I was on the Avene website, and apparently they are giving away free travel bottles of this stuff! Of course only while supplies last, and I don’t know when this was posted…BUT its only available for those in the United States. BOOOOO…so here is that link...
The first thermal spring water bottled in a sterile compartment directly connected to the spring, Avene thermal spring water soothes sensitive skin and helps address the burning, stinging and itching associated with sensitive skin. Used daily, Avene thermal spring water helps restore skin’s natural balance.
Avene thermal spring water is the only thermal spring water bottled in a sterile compartment directly connected to the spring. The benefits of Avene thermal spring water are derived from its unique composition: it is clear, bacteriologically pure, and its pH is close to neutral. Additionally, it has a low mineral content, and contains indispensable trace elements as well as silica, which leaves a soothing barrier over the skin.

So back in late September, I bought the smaller bottle (150ml for 14.50) of Avene Thermal Spray because I wanted to free GWP. After I got home, I did a bit more research, and realized that I wanted to buy the bigger bottle, 300ml for the extra 5ish dollars (20.00). So because of that, I was unable to try it out.
But I kept forgetting to take it with me, so that I could exchange it.
Finally I went the other day, because my 30 days were nearly up, and brought the larger can to the register.
It rung up at 13.50. They had been on sale, and were supposed to be back at full price, BUT someone forgot to remove the sale. So the lady advised that I get another bottle, cause they were really awesome.
I couldn’t object. I just didn’t have it in me.
Anyway I’ve tried it out since then, and I am in love. The major difference I noticed so far, is that my skin is much softer in the morning (I only spray at night for the time being), and wasn’t as oily. A lot of people seem to love it alot, so I’m hoping that my skin continues to get better. It’s been really irritated lately, so I STILL haven’t tried out the Mario Badescu samples that were sent to me all those weeks ago. But hopefully after using this for a few more days, I can try them out ^^
In any case, I love that this bottle has so many other uses than just for the face. Burns, to cleanse a wound, skin irritations, setting makeup etc. Its always fun when things are multipurpose!
I know its JUST water, but seriously…its COOL water :P
Hopefully I can update progress as I continue to use this, so I can give a more detailed view on this..
But for now…enjoy the links.

Hello Rasilla, thanks for dropping by my blog and it is nice to meet you!
I love Avene and the water spray is no exception. But I cannot believe the price of it in usd!
This fall has been exceptionally chilly in europe and bright eyeshadow colors cheer us up! Anyways, I look forward to reading through your old posts and your future ones!
