I now understand why BR lovelies love this product. I received the 118ml for Christmas 2016 and have been using it almost every day with probably 2 weeks of product left.
I like the white and purple plastic packaging which is prone to dirty fingerprints but can easily be cleaned with a baby wipe. There’s a purple lid for the bottle and a clear lid for the nozzle however for a person like me who wants their product to be kept the way that it came, having two lids is annoying.
One of the things I LOVE about the product is the light pressure and the amount of mist that comes out – it’s the best one I’ve come across. It doesn’t douse you in liquid like its sister Urban Decay De Slick Oil Control or at the recommended distance disappears before it hits your face (i.e. Tatcha Dewy Mist). Unlike MAC Fix+, it has a very faint floral scent and doesn’t leave your skin overly tacky or wet (but I guess that depends on how much you put on – mist vs. shower).
I apply my makeup at 4.30am, spritz the product all over my face 4-5 times, and my makeup is still sitting beautifully (as beautiful as it can look with my basic makeup skills) on the skin when it’s about to come off at 4.30pm. The bronzer, blush and highlight are still very evident on the face and my foundation hasn’t faded too much if at all.
My only wish is that it did a better job of keeping the oil at bay (yes I’m currently using its sister UD De Slick Oil Control – no difference) however after 5-6 hours the oil comes through which is interesting when I'm using makeup that combats oil and normally does well without the UD All Nighter. I would still recommend this product because I’ve never seen my makeup almost completely intact after 12 hours before.
I managed to get my hands on this bad boy and for the most part I am really impressed! I have ridiculously oily skin and am forever trying to find products to keep it at bay and help my makeup survive the day.. This is pretty awesome!
I do find it to be very strange essentially putting liquid over your recently applied face - but obviously its designed for this purpose and the box and side of the bottle tell you how/where to spray to get the best results.
I usually use double wear or Kat Von Ds lock it foundation and have to apply powder to my t-zone once or twice a day but found that using the setting spray I only had to do a quick touch up about 6 hours after applying my foundation etc. I would definitely recommend this for my oily sisters! I tried the miniature first then bought the full sized bottle so if you can get your hands on a mini try it out first!
