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.

What's in my uni bag!

Hey Lovelies,

I picked this bag up recently from Urban Outfitters, you might have seen it in my last haul post (here) but I thought I would do another post on it as I'm slightly in love! 
 The bag originally was £48.00 but I had a £20 voucher and also student discount so it only cost me £23.20! Bargain! 

 You can probably just about see in this photo that the bag has 3 'compartments' the middle section is a zip up section where I tend to keep my more important bits like my phone or USB, things that I don't want to lose. Then either side you have two other sections which both fasten with a popper, this is where I keep my books and notebooks.

The thing I love about this bag is that its just big enough for an A4 folder which is perfect for uni!  Then on the very sides of the bag you have a smaller zip up pocket one side and  a small phone pocket the other, which is where I tend to keep my keys as I'm forever losing them! 

I always have a copy of Company in my bag, I can sit and read it over and over again! Being a journalism student has its perks! This and my diary are pretty much always with me. Along with my purse which I picked up from Forever 21 last summer! 

I keep a small make up bag with me too, although I've never been one of those girls to re apply make up through out the day, and I've normally got some form of perfume or spray with me. Along with gloves, because its still blooming freezing! 

Haul | Primark & Urban Outfitters!

Hey Lovelies! 
 I went out and did a spot of solo shopping today after uni (the joys of living so close to west quay!) and I thought I would share with you the things I picked up! 

Deep Khaki Peplum Top - £4

 First I picked up this top from Primark. I love these tops, I think they're perfect now to layer with cardigans and brilliant in the summer because they're so light. They add a little something extra to a standard T-shirt and I'm constantly dressing them up with Disco Pants for a night out! 

Contrast Peplum Top - £8

While I was in Primark I also happened to see another peplum top hanging on its own on a random hanger. I love the black/white colour contrast in this top and although you can't really see in this the straps cross over at the back, which I think is a nice touch! I think I have a bit of a peplum obsession at the moment, but I love the trend, they're so versatile and really compliment my figure.

Already managed to get foundation on the neck! Typical! 

Black and White Midi Length Bodycon - £10

This beautiful dress is by far my favourite purchase. On the hanger it doesn't look anything exceptionally special but on its really flattering and figure hugging in all the right places! I love this print its something I've never seen before and really eye catching! I've never owned a midi dress before but I thought this was a brilliant start.

I also picked up some Gel insoles. I can't imagine ever wearing a pair of heels without these! They really do stop my feet hurting, and they actually last for a relatively good time considering they are £1.50. I also picked up some gloves as I don't own a single pair! These are suitable for touch screen in the thumb and first finger and actually work, for £1.50 I'm not complaining! 

Black Gold Studded Bag - Originally £48 (cost me an amazing £23)  

A few of you who have me on instagram (meganmanneh) will have seen another Urban Outfitters bag I picked up a few months ago. I fell in love with that bag but after a few weeks the buckle broke leaving it useless so I went back to Urban Outfitters and they kindly gave me store credit which I've now used on this beauty! I think I'll do a separate post on the In's and out's of it but for now I thought I'd give you a sneak peak!
