Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray - Summer Solstice

Whenever I am asked which makeup setting spray I use, there is always one that is recognised - Urban Decay All Night Setting Spray.  It is one product I have bought time and time again and I even have the travel size for when I am on holiday. However, with the incredible weather we have been having here in the UK, I have found myself reaching for my spray on more than one occasion.  

If you are a die-hard Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray, then you might just be a tad excited to learn that there is a Limited Edition Version that you need to get your hands on and it is called Summer Solstice.

With its groundbreaking formula which features the patented Temperature Control Technology, which essentially means it helps lower the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, blusher, bronzer, concealer and eyeshadow in its place, even in hot, humid and windy condition.  I absolutely love that this Makeup Setting Spray not only ensures that my makeup lasts for hours but I love just how lightweight it feels on the skin. I don't want to feel as though I have just covered my skin on a thick set spray or something that does the opposite of what it is designed to do - make my makeup run.  

Summer Solstice does differ from the original All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray because it has a fragrance which is a tropical mix with its notes of crushed pineapple, coconut and ‘a sea salt breeze.’ Despite the fragrance, Summer Solstice does have the same formula that we all know and love of the original, nothing has been changed there. it doesn't affect your makeup in any way at all, other than to ensure it stays where you have put it and that is on your face.

As for the scent? Well give me anything coconut scented and you can guarantee I am going to absolutely love it but if you don't like that scent then you don't have to let it put you off because it doesn't smell of coconut or pineapple, not a chance you will smell like a Malibu cocktail as you walk down the street, there is the very slightest tropical scent but the dominating note for me is the sea salt breeze which, I actually really like.  It is a fresh scent rather than something that feel chemically produced and it is quite cooling when spritzed on the skin.

I am a huge fan of this Setting Spray already and have purchased the 100ml edition as a back up ready for when this one runs out.  A 30ml bottle costs just £10 and the 118ml is £24 right here, but you will have to be quick to get your hands on it because it goes out of stock just as quickly as it comes back into stock.

Glossybox Birthday Box - August Edition

August for Glossybox is a special one because it is their birthday and there is only one way to celebrate it and that is with pink sparkles and a whole load of glitter! The iconic pink Glossybox has had a bit of a makeover this month and it is just stunning, I love the holographic drips running down the side of the box.

To celebrate the #Glossybirthday this month all Glossies are treated to a box filled with makeup, a beauty tool and some pampering skincare all packaged up like a cute present to join in with the celebrations.

The first item out of the box is from Huda Beauty Lip Strobe in shade Angelic. Described as being a light peach rosé with gold reflections. Described as being a gloss which is packed with a unique combination of iridescent shimmer, glistening glitter and duo chrome pigments.

As a gloss, it can be worn alone or over the top of your lipstick but if you really want to get that metallic look, you can also use it on your eyes too.  Thankfully, this is not a sticky gloss, it glides on with ease thanks to the doe footed applicator.

The second item in the box is the Rose Gold Lash Curler by Furr. Admittedly, not a brand I have come across before, but Furr is a new, trendy, vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics brand that make handmade lash products.

These lash curlers are designed with a unique curve which fits all eye shapes and the silicone cushion makes it easier to grab the lashes to give them that lift.

Next is the Garnier Ultimate Moisture Golden Amber and Coconut Oil Foaming Body Wash. Newly launched, this body wash contains 4 nourishing natural oils which include repairing Amber oil and moisturising coconut oil.

As this is a whipped cream-like body wash, you literally need one pump to create a whole lot of lather and it smells just absolutely divine.  Also currently on offer for half price right here at Boots*.

Staying with skincare, the next product comes from BeautyPro with the Eye Therapy Under Eye Mask. These eye masks are Hydrogel patches which are formulated with anti-ageing collagen, combined with Green Tea, Aloe Vera and Vitamins A & E.

Suitable for all skin types, these patches are cut to the shape of the under eye and ready to use. Described as being an intensive under eye treatment to nourish and minimise the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness, under eye shadow and dryness while increasing elasticity and firmness for a youthful appearance.

The final item in the box comes from Bang Beauty and it is a Felt Tip Liner. Described as being an easy-application, waterproof liquid liner that stays on all day and night. This thin pen is an easy-glide, quick-dry precision liner which doesn't smudge, feather or run. 

For someone who rarely uses eyeliner, I found that this one goes on smoothly without smudging or pulling and impressively it lasts all day.

Putting all of these products together, it makes for one great box again from Glossybox to celebrate their birthday and I love that there is a mixture of everything. As always you can subscribe to Glossybox right here and if you use the code BQUEEN20 you can get yourself 20% off that first box!
