U.D. All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray VS. ELF Makeup Mist & Set

After hearing rave reviews about the Urban Decay "All Nighter" Makeup Setting Spray, I picked up a bottle ($29). The spray seemed pretty promising, seeing as many people have had success with all three versions (for various skin types: "All Nighter" "Dew Me" & "De Slick). I found the spray to be satisfactory, but a little more expensive than what I desire to spend on a makeup setting spray. I also noticed that the product itself felt sticky on the skin, and didn't seem to set my makeup for the promised 16 hours.

Elf -- which is becoming one of my all time favorite makeup lines (including high-end)-- offered a Makeup Mist & Set Spray for a cool $3. I picked this up recently, and I already LOVE IT. It doesn't have that sticky feeling that the "All Nighter" has, and seems to set the makeup for a solid couple of hours. Seeing as this version is much cheaper, and essentially, does the same thing as the Urban Decay "All Nighter," I would definitely save your pennies, and choose Elf!

NARS Turkish Delight VS Bonne Bell Lip Lites

I've heard so many great things about Turkish Delight lipgloss by NARS. I really wanted to purchase it, but I felt the price point was just too ridiculous for a lip gloss ($24)! I switch out lip gloss like I switch out socks! I am truly fickle. Luckily for me, I heard that Bonne Bell Lip Lites has a similar color ($3)!! I swatched the two, and wanted to show you the results.

They are very similar, but as you can see, the Bonne Bell Lip Lites in Strawberry Parfait is a little deeper of a pink.

Here are both glosses applied lightly (similar to how you would apply to the lips.) They are both very sheer, and look very similar to each other when applied lightly. The Bonne Bell shows up even better than Turkish Delight.


Texture wise- The Bonne Bell version is very light and not sticky, just like the NARS Turkish Delight. The one difference is the smell. Bonne Bell is very sweet smelling, which may be bothersome to some. I really like it and it tastes GREAT!! =)
