After the craziest year of our existence, everything that we do has been reshaped to suit our new world. From the bushfires that devastated Australia this time last year, and a global pandemic that shocked the globe, nothing will ever be quite the same.
If you’re anything like us, your skincare routine went out the window in 2020 (if you even had one to start with). We went from the hustle and bustle of our mediocre but busy lives, sharing plates of food, travelling, wearing make-up to work to suddenly isolating at home, panic buying toilet paper, meeting your co-workers on zoom with the bottom half of your PJ’s still on, home schooling kids and consistently forgetting the day of the week.
A portion of us have somewhat returned to a new ‘normal’, but the way that we treat our skin needs to change. COVID has taught us that our hygiene levels pre-COVID were probably not up to scratch and our routines were too jammed with useless things. We’ve learned that by simplifying our lives, we’re doing ourselves a favour. Let’s apply these learnings to our skincare…
We’re wearing masks everywhere! Our skin can become clammy under the mask which can later cause more oiliness or dryness. It’s important that we both hydrate and tone our skin with as minimal products as possible. Combining too many products can be both expensive and less effective. Your skincare routine doesn’t need to be complex.
Keep it simple, don’t overthink it, and don’t underestimate the power in a simple skincare routine 😊
Stay safe, stay fresh...
Mr Mist was born from a simple idea, and blossomed into the freshest of the best beauty products on the market. How on Earth did Adam start it all? He found an unsolved problem, and thus, he found a niche...
Well... There are many!
The solution:
Create a simple but super face mist. Pack it with ingredients that make the face feel and look amazing.

Mr Mist was born from a simple idea, and blossomed into the freshest of the best beauty products on the market. How on Earth did Adam start it all? He found an unsolved problem, and thus, he found a niche...
Well... There are many!
Firstly, there are very few mist sprays created with substantial ingredients. Those that do exist are lost amongst a range of products, an after thought at best. No company 'specialises' in mists, especially not in a high quality, affordable and entertaining way. Mr Mist could fill this gap. BOOM!
Secondly, the beauty industry is dominated with feminine products, thus men are alienated because of the branding and messaging. There is an undisclosed negative stigma around men looking after their face, skin and hair (why tho??), and we hope to break that stigma by providing a simple product that has multiple uses.
Lastly, smoke and mirrors are used by some brands promoting face mists, from colouring additives to make rose water pink - to using chemicals not meant for the face. Did you know that rose water shouldn't be pink?
The solution:
Create a simple but super face mist. Pack it with ingredients that make the face feel and look amazing. Keeping men in mind whilst serving the women who regularly buy and use inferior face mists.
The product:
MR MIST is handmade in Sydney, Australia. The super ingredients of each blend have been chosen for a specific purpose. MR MIST combines the power of hydration and toning to create a truly special beauty product.
Mission statement:
To make you feel fresh as f*** anytime of day or night.
Taylah and I took over Mr Mist in late January 2020 when Adam decided that the business was best left in others hands. We saw the opportunity and we JUMPED. There was absolutely no way we were missing out on this one. Taylah, the absolute creative mastermind, and myself a business and customer service genius, had been wanting to join forces since we were teens. Cliche AF right... but holy heccity there was a reason for it! After all the handover stuff was complete and we did some planning and goal setting, we relaunched the business on Saturday, Feb 1st 2020. A fresh start for Mr Mist. A new beginning for us as friends and business owners.
Our location:
The office and lab is based in the Sutherland Shire, Sydney, NSW Australia.
Our process:
We work tirelessly perfecting our blends of face mist. This means we are always 100% certain and satisfied with each blend of MR MIST on sale to the public. We make each bottle to order (never in batches more than 5 bottles at a time) and ship it directly do your door.
We quality control by using laboratory grade instruments to produce each 100ml glass bottle of MR MIST.
Our ingredients are all sourced locally in Sydney, and never outside of Australia.

Adam (Founder) gave us Mr Mist...
What an absolute whirlwind!
As you may have seen from recent blogs, Adam decided to give away Mr Mist - and he wasn't lying! Taylah and I (Darian) have been lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to take on Mr Mist as our new baby and to take it to it's full potential and beyond. How exciting!
How on EARTH did we score this?
Well... I'd like to say that I know exactly why, but the truth is, I actually have no idea! I have known Adam for a few years now. We were housemates for a short period of time, and we've both witnessed a lot of each other's ups and downs. Knowing Adam, he definitely wouldn't have made this decision lightly. He must have seen something in us, he is notorious for having a strong gut instinct and for being a fantastic judge of character. For Taylah and I, it's a mixture of 'it's not what you know, but who you know', extreme luck, and 'being in the right place at the right time'. We are also extremely fortunate to have been ready when the opportunity came along. We have both had our feet in the corporate world, the creative world and the world of entrepreneurship. I left my full-time job last year to work on my own business, so have lots of time and expertise to bring to Mr Mist. Taylah is an absolute creative genius, so together, we are the perfect fit. We've also been best friends for about ten years now, and owning a business together is something we've been dreaming of since we were teenagers. Corny right?
Plan from here:
We are super excited to get to know you all and get the business rolling again. We will be finalising the rest of the transfer of business over the next week, so for now, the shop is on hold, but we'll be open again soon. We'll keep you updated on our socials, but of course if you'd like to say hi, feel free to reach out
Thanks again Adam for everything, you have genuinely created an absolute masterpiece! It's going to be an incredible year.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Adam and Mr Mist so far, we hope you'll love us too and continue to love Mr Mist for years to come.
Signing out,
Darian and Tay xx
I started MR MIST mid-way through 2019, and the process and journey has been one of excitement, learning and validation.
I had something to prove. To myself and the world.
March 2019, I was sheltered under a retail complex roof in the back streets of a Sydney suburb - trying to catch some z's in a sleeping bag. A few months later I was living in an apartment and I started MR MIST.
MR MIST was founded from nothing but an idea and some gusto plucked from what I had left to give.
Amazingly, the product is loved, used, reviewed and wanted. I'm grateful for and humbled by that.
The recent and ongoing bushfire tragedy really rocked me.
I struggle with a nihilistic outlook at times. "What's the point?" a constant question I'm trying to find an answer to.
My struggles over a lifetime have left me battered and bruised beyond conventional repair. I'm in the middle of a real rough patch in life, one that hasn't eased too much in over 4 years now.
I started MR MIST to prove to myself and others that you can make something from nothing. That I could still do it. That anyone, despite what people think, can make good things happen.
Anything and everything you use, see or experience from MR MIST has been funded from the leftover Newstart allowance (Government welfare) I receive each fortnight. If you're unsure as to how much this is; the net total of a Newstart allowance is $540 per fortnight.
Despite a successful career spanning 15 years in marketing, my struggles in recent years has seen me reach the lowest lows in life. Some days, I can't even get out of bed to face the world. I'm working on all that, my point is that whatever you are facing and whatever anyone says, you can do something and make it a success.
My success with MR MIST was achieved with the very creation of it. The five-star reviews, industry praise, ambassador love and orders are all a secondary bonus for me.
The potential is huge. Endless, perhaps. The biggest thing holding back MR MIST, for various reasons, is the very person who created it. Me.
If you love something, set it free.
It's because of this I am going to give away MR MIST.
I'll even send you the bottles I have in stock that are waiting to be filled.
No catch.
No scheme.
No bullshit.
Maybe you have the drive and ambition but need a starting point? Maybe you want something to pour your energy into growing? Maybe you feel like you can't do something but you want to? Maybe you just want a chance?
Well, you can have it for free. If you want it.
I don't care what walk of life you are from. The only thing that matters is that you want to take MR MIST forward.
I will be choosing someone before the end of this month, January 2020.
And, that's it. Again, there's no catch.
There's nothing anyone can give or do for me that will help me, I need not nor desire monetary compensation for this. I've done the money thing and it didn't work for me.
If it seems crazy, wild or ridiculous - that's okay too. The world needs a bit of crazy, especially the crazy of a good kind.
Come get it.
With love, Adam. xo
]]>I have made the decision to pause trading and production of MR MIST whilst our nation is in the grips of a deadly crisis.
When I moved to Australia many years ago, I was blown away by many things about the country. There's no way we are perfect as a nation, historically or currently. That said, 'mateship' is the one thing I always refer to when people ask why I love this country so much? Mateship. Looking out for each other.
In recent years, with all the shit going on in the world and on our own shores - I've felt this 'mateship' fading. In me, and in general.
I'm blessed not with riches but free time, and some perspective.
There will be no promotion of MR MIST, no shipping, no production and no revenue generation until we are through the worst of this unrelenting bushfire crisis.
I am going to take some time to help the efforts in changing opinions, helping charities, and families affected by the damage. I'm not sure what that looks like right now, but I'll work on it quickly and take action.
They say "the show must go on" - and that's true, but sometimes the show changes.
If you have been effected by the fires, please reach out and If I can do anything I will.
See you on the other side.
With love, Adam xo

"The NSW Rural Fire Service has multiple options for direct donations. You can donate to the RFS as a whole, or to specific brigades. You can donate through bank transfer, credit card or cheque.
For bank transfers, there is a set bank account (Account Name: NSW Rural Fire Service, BSB: 032-001, Account No: 171051). This account is for the RFS as a whole.
For credit cards, this link will take you to the landing page. You can choose specific brigades from a dropdown box, or donate to the RFS general fund.
And if your brigade is not listed, or if you are unclear, you can contact your local brigade.
In Queensland, Fire and Rescue advise that you can donate both money and items through the website givit.org.au.
The website allows fire-affected communities to list what they specifically need, from water tanks in Yeppoon to school uniforms in Zillmere.
In Victoria, the Country Fire Authority has two bank accounts, one for specific brigades and one for the general fund.
In South Australia, the Country Fire Service accepts donations through the CFS Foundation. You can donate to them here. You can also leave a bequest."
"You can donate to some of the charities who routinely help with recovery: the Red Cross Relief and Recovery Appeal, St Vincent de Paul or the Salvation Army.
You can also donate, provide items or volunteer at specific evacuation centres – a list can be found here. In general it is always better to give money to the charities that organise assistance, rather than donating in kind, unless there is a specific request for certain items, or if you have checked in advance what may be required.
Each centre may have different needs, so it is important not to arrive unannounced with goods to donate."

]]>Olive Leaf
Found in TYPE:12 and ROSE SISTER, olive leaf extract Olive Leaf cleans out clogged pores, soaks up any excess oils and helps rid the surface of breakouts by removing any bad bacteria from the surface or below.
Aloe Vera
Found in TYPE:12, ROSE SISTER and SNACC, aloe vera is natures best solution for inflamed and damaged skin. It soothes the surface of your face to reduce redness and help contain breakouts.
These two staples combined with bio hemp (as mentioned in a previous blog), super PH or pure rose water, white or herbal tea and other amazing skin cleansing ingredients provided by mother nature, make MR MIST a perfect addition to your skincare routine to help with cleaning and clearing your skin.
xo
]]>Refreshing, repairing, firming and cleansing qualities all aside - each blend of MR MIST does a very good job when it comes to giving makeup a renewed freshness whenever required.
We all know the scenario; On the go between engagements, and after a day of running around - the makeup from this morning is looking a little bit tired.
Face mist is perfect to give makeup a renewed look of freshness. You can get tricky with it too if you want to re-blend or conceal. Spray it a little closer to you face, giving thicker surface coverage - using your fingertips to re-work the makeup as desired.
Or, just spray and get on with what's next! The skin nourishing super ingredients will do the hard work for you.
Bio hemp is a MR MIST super ingredient found in all of our blends. This ingredient alone is packed with natural Omega oils - helping to make tired skin feel plump and refreshed.
Reviving makeup. Just one of the many benefits of using a face mist.
xo
]]>
We know you are sweet enough, but our high in natural sugars face toning mist is fantastic for your skin. It smells like a cake shop and leaves a dewy shine on your face.
What's in SNACC?
Organic white tea is rich in anti-oxidants and helps fight ageing. This, coupled with anti-inflammatory properties to reduce redness on the skin's surface.
Strawberry is used to help reduce oily skin and works alongside the other ingredients in SNACC to leave an even shine after use.
Our Aleo Vera extract is so pure it is suitable for digestion. It is packed with natural anti-inflammatory agents that help smooth and tone your skin.
Hemp extract contains natural Omega 3 and 6 and packs 6 probiotic strains, energising tired skin. It rejuvenates and gives a more plump and energetic feel/look to the skin. It can also provide long-lasting moisture.
The vanilla extract in SNACC is extracted using vodka - making for a combination of skin refreshing and tightening. The combination helps to quickly fight away blemishes and redness.
The thing to do is offer a percentage off for purchases made during the day.
Here's the thing, whilst we don't mind the odd discount - who doesn't? There's something perhaps more pressing on the minds of Aussies this week.
Bushfires are raging through parts of NSW and QLD, and the fire services are stretched beyond imagination.
Instead of a discount code here's an offer for a better cause.
]]>Our advisors have called us "foolish" for not charging you good folks shipping on top of the cost of a MR MIST. We know how disappointing it can be when you get to the checkout to see another $8 - $10 - $12 added to your purchase for postage.
With this in mind we decided to offer free delivery Australia wide.
To do this, we have been using Australia Post and their Parcel Post service.
In recent weeks, it has become clear that not only are they the most expensive (not your worry) but they also take far too long to get you your purchase. This is a problem. Again, who wants to wait forever (5-6 days) for a purchase to arrive. It's 2019!
Long, and probably boring, story short - we have partnered with Sendle to get your MR MIST on its way and in your hands in super quick time. We even save a bit of money too - so that's good.
Sendle uses a network of respected and established courier companies to make sure you get your package quickest and safest. Most Sydney deliveries are made the next day - and we have even had incoming parcels from Melbourne arrive the next day.
This means we are cutting your wait time from 4-6 days to just 2-3 days in most cases.
Yep, we know. We're amazing.
x
]]>It's no secret our oceans are polluted. If you're not aware of this then you're probably shopping on the wrong website.
We use amber glass bottles to avoid as much plastic as possible. Our packaging isn't as fancy as most and we offer a recycle option that does our bottom line no favours. Not because we are overly obsessed climate warriors - but because, at this stage, we all need to do our little bit and maybe more.
$1 from each sale of this mist goes direct to The Great Barrier Reef Foundation.
OCEAN.
Our blend dedicated to and inspired by our wonderful oceans.
Simple? Maybe. Pure goodness? Absolutely.
We know it sounds a lot like a spray to make your hair curly and look beach worn. OCEAN is very much for your face. (...and your hair if you wish!)
The sea salt is a good anti-inflammatory and actually helps to soften the skin. Mix this with our soothing aloe vera / super magnesium, and this bottle of freshness will help make your sun kissed skin feel supple over the course of a long sunny beach day.
Serve to your liking, cold or natural temp.
$19.99 with FREE delivery.
]]>Afterpay offers simple and affordable instalment plans for online and in-store shoppers. The payment platform allows you to purchase in four equal instalments, due every 2 weeks. For example, if you purchase an item for
$49.99, you pay 4 instalments of $12.50. There is no additional cost to use Afterpay so long as you pay on time. All of your payments are interest-free and you will receive your order straight away.
Super Ingredients.
Unlike other face mist - we have invested heavily in testing various combinations of ingredients, making our blends packed with goodness for your skin. The three key ingredients of any MR MIST blend:
"While olive oil is excellent at conditioning and softening your skin, olive leaf extract is the stuff that matters when you want to ensure your skin is protected from the elements and the signs of ageing. This is due to the power of antioxidants which are found (by the bucket load) in olive leaf extract." - beautyheaven.com.au
"Aloe Vera is used in organic skin care products, as an anti-inflammatory star. Its benefits are due to a combination of a very wide range of goodies including Vitamins A and B, folic acid, enzymes, proteins, amino acids, good fatty acids and triglycerides." nourishedlife.com.au
"Hemp oil can rejuvenate tired skin, giving it a more plump and energetic feel. It can also provide long-lasting moisture, helping you avoid moisturisers containing nasty chemicals. Hemp oil can help balance oily skin extremely well because unlike other natural oils, it doesn't clog your pores. If you're suffering from skin irritation or rashes, it can calm this extremely well, reducing discomfort. Amazingly, it also has the potential to make you lot a whole lot younger, reducing wrinkles and other skin damage - plus, it's suitable for every skin type, unlike other oils." - theidleman.com

Volume.
We don't skimp on giving you these ingredients. Yes, the bottle at 100ml is smaller than some others on the market - but when you consider those mists are made up of as much as 90% water/water base... it's no wonder they can give you bigger bottles.
Our super ingredients make up at least 50% of the volume in each bottle.
Production process.
We don't make massive vats full of mist - then use filtering and pumping tooling to fill thousands of bottles. Each bottle is made by hand from a batch of mist no more than enough to fill just five bottles. (500ml)
This handmade process, including testing of each bottle, ensures you are getting the premium product you deserve.
Blending process.
Ensuring that the super ingredients retain all the amazing properties which make them core to MR MIST is the number one priority. We do not boil anything - doing this kills all the goodness. We do not add any preservatives or sweeteners.
Our process of making the mist, unlike anything else on the market, makes for a refreshing mist spray - without losing any of the essential benefits from olive leaf, aloe vera, hemp, magnesium and a range of other natural goodies.
We give a s*** what you think.
We work closely with industry insiders, natural ingredient experts and most importantly our customers. This process of listening and adapting as we create new and exciting blends means this product is much yours as it is ours.

We are on a hell-bent mission to make everyone realise how good face spray is. We are also driven to give you a far better alternative to other face mists. (You know, like that one that just puts water in a spray can...)
We are very lucky to you have supporting us. It doesn't matter if it's a simple share on Facebook or a comment on Instagram. The support is noted and appreciated.
After spending so long perfecting our blends, it's great to get feedback from you all.
We actively encourage you to buy (obvs) and then tell. You can get in touch via email, phone, contact form or easily on Insta and Facebook.
Although, we'd love a few more men to front up and message us feedback.
Thanks for continued support.
