BLOGcember Review: Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray

Hey Loves! BLOGcember Day 17! Today I am reviewing Urban Decay De-Slick Makeup Setting Spray! Shout out to Markie for requesting this-- we are both avid lovers of this spray! Find her on Instagram @MarkieJo26.


Where can you purchase?
I usually get mine at Ulta only because I have one near me but otherwise online at Urban Decays Website and most Sephora's.
 
How much is this product?
The full-size is $30 and travel sizes are around $10. The full-size usually lasts me a few months I would say 3-4 months. I have seen gift sets that include a full-size and travel for around $34 so I usually pick them up when I see them at the store.
 
How do you apply?
I like to spray 3-4 sprays onto my face after I have applied my foundation, powder, blush, ad bronzer to set my makeup for the day. Some people also like to spritz on before applying foundation for extra de-slicking. I will sometimes spray on half-way through the day if I know I am going to be wearing my makeup for an extended period of time.
 
Scent?
I don't think this has a scent that is overly noticeable.
 
Purpose?
This specific setting spray is designed for us oily girls to help keep oil at bay throughout the day. Urban Decay also makes other settings sprays that are geared toward more normal/combo/dry skin and those are excellent as well. I think this spray not only keeps my oil under control but also makes my foundation last long without breakdown.

Negatives?
The only bad thing isn't about the product itself it is the packing that stinks. The bottle had this smooth white finish that attracts dirty and when working with makeup there are always excess powders around so the outside of the bottle doesn't stay white for very long!
 
Dupes?
I have heard that the new L'Oreal makeup setting sprays are almost identical and around half the price. I have been searing for that for awhile now and have been unsuccessful.
 
I use this daily but you don't have too if you aren't wearing makeup. I know on the days that I skip or forget to apply I notice my makeup melting and shine occurring. The mist is a little scary at first but honestly isn't that bad, you'll get used to it I promise!

BLOGcember Review: Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash

Hey Loves! I hope everyone is enjoying BLOGcember as much as I am! I am having so much fun picking out products to review for you guys. The only hard part is trying to not just pick out products I love to share with you guys! This review is going to be my first BLOGcember review on a product that I did not care for! Lets jump right into the review Origins Checks and Balances Frothy Face Wash: 


Where can you find this product?
At Sephora or online at the Origins website. 

How much is this product?
There are two sizes available (1.7 ounce) $12 and ( 5 ounce) $21.50.

Does this product remove makeup or makeup residue?
I believe this does a fairly good job removing face makeup but I find that it leaves behind some mascara/eyeliner around my eyes. 

Foaming Action?
Just as the name claims this is a truly frothy face wash that foams up perfectly and feels amazing when rubbing onto the skin almost creamy.

Scent?
The cleanser has a light and what I would describe as an earthy or natural scent that is not over powering.

Dislikes?
The only major problem I have with this cleanser is I do not like how when you rinse off the product your skin feels "squeaky" clean or tight. 

Rating?
I would give this product a 2.5/5 just because I cannot stand that overly tight feeling to my skin and how some eye makeup is left behind after cleansing. 

Overall the product is horrible but definitely not for me.  I prefer a more gentle cleanser like Philosophy's Purity Cleanser (highend) or Cetaphil Gentle Face Wash (drugstore) which do not foam up as well but leave my skin feeling fresh and moisturized. I would recommend those products over this cleanser any day. 

This product is also mentioned in my product Empties video:

BLOGcember Review: Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in White Russian

Hey Loves! I am not a huge fan of lip glosses because I prefer matte lips better but recently I dug into my lip product drawer and found this beauty! I cannot stop wearing my Buxom Full-On Lip Cream in White Russian. If you are looking for a great high end creamy nude gloss then this is for you! I do need to say that this line of lip glosses is plumping and does have that tingly feeling. I do not think it burns by any means but there is a noticeable tingle.



Where can you find this product?
Sephora, Ulta, and Bare Minerals website. 

How much is this product?
Usually retails around $19.

Available in other shades?
You can purchase all 10 shades only at Sephora.

Lasting Power?
I think this is one of the longest wearing lip glosses around and usually last 4 hours.

Pigmentation?
. The pigmentation is amazing and the best part is that there is no shimmer or glitter in the lip gloss just high intensity high! 

How would I rate this product?
This is probably my favorite high end lip gloss so I would give it a 4/5. I know that some people are not huge fans of plumping lip glosses so these won't be for everyone. 

Any dupes?
I think it is rather hard to find lip glosses in the drugstore that do not have any glitter or shimmer so off hand I don't think there are any exact dupes. Revlon used to make a lip gloss called Peach Petal that was pretty close but more of light peach than a light pink color but probably the closest thing available from the drugstore.

This product is also mentioned in my November Favorites Video:
