My thoughts on the newest All Nighter Spray from Urban Decay? It’s a pass for me because the artificial watermelon scent was just way too strong for me. Did it do what it needed to do by keeping my makeup fresh all day long? Yes. Did it keep my dry leaning skin from looking worse with a matte foundation? Also yes. I still plan on finishing this spray because I like using up products I’ve received from brands. I just have to remember that I’ll have to deal with the scent while I spray it. Luckily the scent doesn’t linger too badly. Although the original formula wasn’t as strongly scented. There’s also other more affordable options on the market that can also get the job done.

... Read moreHey beauty lovers! If you're anything like me, you've probably heard the buzz around the new Urban Decay All Nighter Hyaluronic Acid Setting Spray. I know I was super curious, especially with the promise of added hydration and that watermelon twist. So, I grabbed this much-talked-about pink bottle to give you my honest thoughts, especially since so many of you are asking 'what is this' and 'para que sirve y como se usa?'
First off, let's talk about what a setting spray is generally for. It's that magical final step in your makeup routine designed to lock everything in place, ensuring your look lasts longer and often helps your makeup blend seamlessly into your skin. This particular Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray takes it a step further by incorporating hyaluronic acid, a hero ingredient known for its hydrating properties. So, beyond just setting, it aims to give you a more comfortable, fresh feel, especially if you have dry skin like mine. The idea is to prevent that dreaded cakey or tight feeling, even with a matte foundation.
Now, how do you actually use it? It's super simple! After you've finished your entire makeup look – foundation, concealer, powder, blush, everything – give the bottle a good shake. Then, hold it about 8-10 inches away from your face and spray in an 'X' and 'T' motion a few times. Let it air dry, and you're good to go! The directions on the box are pretty straightforward.
My initial excitement was high, especially seeing the hyaluronic acid on the ingredients list. I'm always looking for products that help my dry skin. And yes, it truly delivered on the "long-lasting makeup spray" promise. My makeup stayed intact from morning till night, even through a busy day. My foundation didn't settle into fine lines, and my complexion looked remarkably 'fresh all day.' For those wondering about the 'dewy' aspect, while it didn't make my matte foundation *dewy*, it absolutely prevented it from looking dry or flat, which is a huge win for someone with dry skin! It definitely helped keep my skin feeling more comfortable and less parched.
However, I have to be completely honest about the elephant in the room: the watermelon fruit extract scent. Oh my goodness, for my somewhat sensitive nose, it was quite overwhelming. When I first sprayed it, the artificial watermelon scent hit me hard. While it doesn't linger too badly once it dries, that initial spray is definitely something to contend with. The original All Nighter has a more subtle, almost undetectable scent, so this was a noticeable difference for me. If you're sensitive to fragrance, this is definitely something to consider.
Despite the strong scent, I found its performance to be excellent for long-lasting wear. My makeup truly didn't budge. If you adore watermelon scents and are looking for a powerful setting spray that keeps your makeup looking flawless and feeling hydrated all day, this could be your new holy grail. But if strong fragrances are a deal-breaker, you might want to sniff it out first or stick with other options in the Urban Decay All Nighter range or perhaps look into other brands that offer similar hydrating benefits without the intense aroma. Overall, it's a powerful performer, but the scent is a personal preference you need to weigh!
Looks like a fun product! Can't wait to hear your thoughts on it.
