Setting Sprays Hooray!

What do I look for in a setting spray?

Honestly the main thing I want from a setting
spray is longevity - see? I'm not high maintenance!


The second biggest thing I am looking for
is a matte finish - because I have super oily skin.

I don't need fancy smells or dewy finishes.

Like I did with primers, I also feel like I've come into the
setting spray game a little late.

I've only tried two different setting sprays so
far:

Kat Von D Lock 'N Load Makeup Setting Mist


and

Urban Decay Deslick Makeup Setting Spray.

Travel Size

Though Kat Von D smells like
a cucumber dream spa -
I'm not as impressed with it as
I am with Urban Decay's De-slick.

The De-slick spray keeps my makeup
in place all day and keeps my
oily face matte and in check.

The Kat Von D setting spray
keeps my makeup in place, but
does not help with oil control.

So I would suggest, if you have
oily skin + you live in a hot
and humid climate - go with
Urban Decay De-Slick.

If you like fantastic smelling setting sprays
that do the job of keeping  your makeup in place
but nothing else - go for Kat Von D!

Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick - Shade Double Dare

In the last few months, I went from being bleach blonde 
(which I have been for most of my life) to having darker hair. 
I’m not sure if I would call it brown, but it is definitely much darker for me – and I love it! 



One of the things I love most about my new hair color
 is the new makeup colors that I can try out!

One of the new shades I tried out was Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick 
in the shade of Double Dare.



I have to admit, 
I did not buy this because I was feeling wild and adventurous. 
My friend bought it and let me try hers on. I loved it! 

The moment I looked in the mirror 
I felt like Priyanka Chopra from Quantico. 

Her lips are AMAZEBALLS!
I had to have that color!

The moment the clock hit 4:30pm, I was out the door
and on my way to Sephora to get that color!

Too bad - so sad... Sephora was sold out. But
the lady at the counter told me they they
get in weekly shipments and 
they would DEF have some in
later on that week! So I left sad and empty handed,
but my heart was filled with hope that soon I would get that lip
color.

I go into work the next day and tell Paula the story. She told me to just
buy it online, but No! I had faith in my Sephora. They would never lie to me.

I found out just how wrong that statement was when I returned to Sephora
that Friday. They still didn't have it. They ended up being sold out of that
color for a month!

I should have bought it online...

Anyways - I eventually, after a few months, finally found it. And I must say
I love it.



As you can see, I basically look like I have
Priyanka's lips :D
Here are the positives and negatives.
