After posting my 'blogging update' post at the start of the month I sadly haven't posted as much as I promised, all my excuses can be found here (link) but I haven't even had a minute to watch xfactor and thats serious business. I feel like a workaholic, kudos to anyone who has a proper full time job and blogs on the side, it takes some serious organisation! I'll stop before I really ramble, todays post is all about the Urban Decay all nighter makeup setting spray, an absolute life saviour in a bottle.
My typical Saturday as of late is to wake up around 8 to get ready for the day (including doing my makeup) and leaving the house for work and then travelling to my other work, usually I don't get home until after 10 at night so you can see why I need long lasting makeup on my face. Although MAC and Estee Lauders foundation do the trick (in lasting terms), I can't justify using them all the time because they're blooming expensive (well compared to drugstore) and I like to save them for more special occasions.
The all nighter spray is you might have guessed by the name is ideal for nights out when you want your makeup to remain on your face but I've found it comes in handy for day to day use too. I purchased this via Cohorted a few months back - an absolute gem of a website for beauty lovers, definitely check it out! I'd been eyeing up the full size spray for ages but I couldn't justify the price tag but then this travel size appeared and it sounded perfect. Its usually priced around £9 but I managed to get it for £6, an absolute bargain and next time its on the Cohorted website I'm definitely going to stock up!
Its so simple to use, I simply apply it after my foundation and powder, now it does take a bit of getting used to, at first I thought with my eyes shut I'd miss my face but that was all just in my head. My makeup stays in place so much longer and has a sort of fresh glow to it, something that comes in handy for someone who usually forgets to apply primer (beauty sin, I know!), its also oil free so its suitable for all skin types and when this is finished I'll definitely be re-purchasing.
Thanks for reading, Jenny xo
P.s have you tried any of the urban decay sprays, what do you think?
oo this sounds great! I love how it helps your make up stay on for longer. I get so annoyed when i spend ages doing make up and then a few hours later it's already started to wear off! x

it really is! I know the feeling, it feels like such a waste on a good makeup day x
DeleteI have been eyeing this up for ages, I really have to buy it because I've heard such good things about it! Great review :)

thank you! and I was the exact same, just go for it :) x
DeleteI've never tried any setting sprays, but with lots of long days coming my way soon seems like a great idea, always got told primer would help my makeup last longer but not had much success with my smashbox one (although it does make my makeup apply easier!). Definately going to check this out though.

Me either until I picked this up! It does come in awfully handy for long days :) I've been told repeatedly about primer but sometimes in the mornings you just don't have the time lol! I really want to try the smashbox primer though x
DeleteI use the de slick setting spray from UD its amazing! x
