Review | Urban Decay 'All Nighter' Makeup Setting Spray


Hey Guys, 
First of all I need to apologise to you all for my lack of post this month. I have been a busy bee, with going back to uni and traveling up to London, which is no excuse, but its the only one I have. But I thought I would take some time today to sit down and write a post I've had planned for awhile.

I've mentioned before that I've always been on the look out for a product that keeps my make up on for longer, and so when I saw this travel size in Debenhams for £9 I thought I'd give it a try. And since then I use this baby every time I do my make up. 

'All Nighter keeps your makeup looking gorgeously just-applied for up to 16 hours – without melting, cracking, fading or settling into fine lines. 

Developed in an exclusive partnership with SKINDINÄVIA, our groundbreaking, clinically tested formula is suitable for all skin types and features patented Temperature Control Technology. Yep, this baby actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush and concealer in place – even in hot and humid or cold and windy conditions. The result? Smoother-looking skin and vibrant makeup that lasts all day (or all night).'


So it works pretty simply, you do all your make up as normal and then when your done, spray this in an 'X' and 'T' formation over your face to lock it all in. and lock it in it does.

I'm not saying that after a 10 hour day it leaves your make up looking freshly applied but by god does it make a difference. You can still see some of my make up left on my skin and my dark scaring is still barley visible. I also notice that when I take off my make up theres more product on my cotton pads.


It leaves my skin looking less patchy, less flaky, less missing, less everywhere to be honest.

 In short I don't know the technicalities of how it keeps my make up on longer, I just know it does the job beautifully, and also with that it makes a brilliant mid day top up when i'm feeling the need for a refreshing spritz.

(And if I had it probably would have looked a mess, ha!)
I hope your all doing well and that those of you leaving uni for the summer are enjoying the last few weeks as much as I am!

How to | clean your make up brushes!

Hey Guys, 

A quick side note, im finally done with all my uni work, im currently working my way through a summer course and in a month i'll be free for the summer! So now I've got some more time on my hands I thought I would bring you a quick post! 

One of the best tips I can give to some suffering with bad skin is to regularly clean your make up brushes, it unbelievable how much bacteria and dirt sits on them, which obviously can lead to more and more spots. 

If I ever have a breakout the first thing I do is wash my brushes (after caking the spot in spot remover!) Not only does it help my make up go on better on top of those nasty spots, but also actually controlling the break out and stopping it spreading to other areas of my face.

I know a lot of people use different things to wash their brushes, but I normally use my regular hand soap as we tend to buy soft hand soaps with a slight scent and something like jojoba butter in them. At the moment I'm using a Baylis & Harding Jojoba, Silk & Almond Oil Cleansing Hand Wash. I feel they work just as well as baby shampoo and they leave my brushes smelling and feeling amazing

Hope you enjoy this post and find it helpful! Let me know if you have any questions or requests.
