Product Review | MAC Impassioned Lipstick

MAC - Impassioned Lipstick £15.00 Link Here

I haven't always been the biggest fan of lip products, i don't like lip tints, rarely use crayons etc of sort, i have never liked a lip gloss but one thing i know to have always been true is the love i have for a lipstick or two. I use to play it safe and wear a neutral lip or a nude lip. I guess i was scared of looking like a clown or feeling like i'd apply too much. However, i absolutely love wearing a bright lip, vampy lips and red lips so much as of late and seeing as i was near a MAC counter it was only right to pick up a couple of their lipsticks, i did also pick up ' Girl About Town' (review to come later) I haven't been using anything other than this, no lipstick has come close, it's always near me or in my bag and make up bag. 

At £15.00 a piece, they aren't cheap. But in this case, you get what you pay for is a motto that would be used. When applying i found this to apply so creamy, it's an amplified finish so i'm thinking that means vibrant, bright etc - i'm not even gonna start trying to understand all of the different finishes of lipsticks they do, i'm sure i'll cock up gah. It's creamy, incredibly pigmented - so i dab a bit on and use my fingers to apply the rest as you don't need much. They smell incredible, which i've never found in any other lipstick and they taste nice. It's not chalky, or sticky which i HATE in lipsticks, hence why i don't like lipgloss i cannot stand stickiness. It's a beaut, you need to pick it up. It's super pretty and very bright, right up my street. 

I can't help wanting more, infact i do want to build on my collection. I have a list forming of the MAC lipsticks yet to get, eeep. But if you've any recommendations send them my way! 

                               Have you tried this lipstick - do you love it as much as me? 

About Aimzy

Hiddely - ho folks - Where's the sun? I'm absolutely freezing. I wanted to inject a lifestyle post into my blog - i also, figured it's about time i'd give you some insight into me - so here you go, please enjoy i'd um, grab yourself a cuppa though. 

Photo taken from my face-book. - Pink haired, mermaid wannabe wouldn't you say?

Basics: 
I'm Amy, or Aimzy if you wish. 'Ahmy' is how my boyfriend calls me, it's cute. I'm 22 for now, i say for now as i have a Birthday coming up very soon, it's quite scary to be honest, getting older. I'm an Aries and i'd say that is most definitely true - I'm very energetic, although i can be quite the tired person. I don't like to wait for things to happen, i like to move on with it - get the job done which is exactly me to a t! Aries is me all over. 


I'm from the hobbit-wobitty parts - love this. The 'shire' I'm not going to obviously go into where for personal safety reasons. I have quite a big family, not that i speak to every single one of them nor are we exactly close which i think is rather sad, if i'm honest. I have two brothers, younger and older. I was quite the 'tom boy' when i was younger and enjoyed the same things as them - however, i know exactly where my hate for bugs came from as my older brother kindly, poured a bucket of assorted bugs over me once, i cried, so much. 


I'm very laid back, wear my heart on my sleeve. I'm friendly and i upset easily. I over think and worry like no bodies business - I'm sure this comes with the years of anxiety / panic attacks. I love big and also hurt big, i've had to overcome many a thing in my years of being on this earth. 



Hopes & Dreams:  
I didn't have a single clue into what i wanted in school, where i wanted to go in life or who i wanted to be. I knew the subjects i loved were what i wanted to pursue a career in though, at that time of your life you don't always have it together, you know? I loved school, however i was bullied every single day of my life throughout it - its was awful. I had very little friends, very little people to talk too. It got to the point where we ( mum and i) had spoken to every teacher to try to compact it but unfortunately nothing ever worked, it wasn't nice and i became scared, withdrawn etc to be there and from this time of my life. 

It wasn't until later on in life, when i hit my twenties funnily enough. I discovered what interests me, where i'd like to see my life going - I'm very much into my beauty, make up - so i've chosen to pursue this - applied for a course in September which i'm rather excited about. I also, really love the 'care' sector. I love children, so much and old people which again is something i'm considering. I'm very good at Art but as much as i'd love to pursue that - career wise, isn't as promising as the other choices.  


I left school, to work - i got jobs, i have had a few before discovering and finding myself - If i had any advice for someone to just leaving school it would be: Don't sweat it, if you've got it together - great. You need to grow into yourself, find yourself and discover yourself. Don't rush, you've plenty of time. I've learnt a tone about who i am, what i believe in, what i stand for - I don't have regrets for not going onto this earlier on in life, because i'd not be who i am now - I think as long as you know where you're going, have the opportunity to the determination then it's ok, i don't need to sweat it. 


Of course, i want the typical girl fantasy - well i say this, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. I'm in a wonderful relationship - i have been for three years. I'm not saying now, but i'd like to be married and have a child one day when i feel once i've completed my journey, goals and aspirations then sure. Right now, I'm happy being in love and enjoying the exiting path of us looking to live together and renting our first property together, I'm honestly very very excited. 

I also really, desperately want to travel so badly. i'd like to visit: America, Venice, Rome & Greece. 



Favourites: 
My favourite colour is green & I'm a huge lover Nutella on my crumpets or toast. I despise coffee but i love my cups of tea - mugs if you're at my parents, yeck. I don't like energy drinks, i think they're vile. Nando's in my favourite place to eat out at, ever, ever, ever. I love bubble baths so much, i could easily run up a water bill in a week - lush, is also one of my favourite places to shop. I love make up, shoes & handbags - like any other, eh? My favourite films are, Harry potter, The Hobbit, Lord Of The Rings, Disney ones - i love wreck it ralph so much right now. Soap & Glory is my favourite thing to bath in & wash in. I love a car boot sale, jumble sale or a good mooch about in a shop - I get this from my mother, haha. I  love Christmas but love the spook behind Halloween. Carl, as he's not only my boyfriend but my best friend also, he makes me happiest & 


Dislikes: 
I hate any form of confrontation as i'm easily hurt or easily upset. Panic attacks, Being cold - which is me all over, either cold feetys or hands. The dark, child eh? no i'm easily spooked out haha! I hate some of the ignorance people have with mental illness or the 'judging' process you're faced with, we're all the same, equal. Bugs, haha i hate bees, spiders and waps the most! I hate the transition from summer to winter as mentioned earlier, i'm cold all the time - so i hate that, muchly. Winter isn't my favourite either haha 


So, that's me - I think it's quite nice to know more about the person behind the screen - thank you for sticking this far, enjoy your tea? 

Someday Summary - Wednesday.

Hello ladies. Firstly, I just wanted to sit and have a chit chat. As much as i love beauty posts etc i do also love to just chit chat with a post like this, i do hope this is okie on your feeds? I like the idea of it muchly.

♥

It's my birthday in 31 days, eeep. I'm somewhat nervous about this one though as i'm turning twenty three. Now, i get comments, id and everything no-one believes i'm in my twenties. Which is lovely, i forget i am sometimes but i'm quite sad about it really, older and wiser - now if you knew me in the flesh you'd see i'm a big kid at heart i like cookies, disney films, milkshakes, chocolate spread on my crumpets, i'm very scared of the dark haha. it's only really sinking in that i'm getting older really if i'm honest. I don't feel particularly old or anything but yeah, it's just sinking in that i'm getting older it's quite scary. 

                                                                                 

♥

I've turned in this worrier. That's what i'm personally naming myself, 'worry-bag' It's stupid and i run myself down so brimming easy, i upset easy and if something upsets me, it'll stay with me throughout the day. I over think and scare easy and lately although i have had nothing to worry about, there's been situations where i have over thinked and i've now told myself enough is enough, worry-bag is no-more ha.

The sun being out and showing his face is making me so happy and excited for dresses and warm walks with my better half. I love it being out as i find it changes my mood instantly and puts smile on my face. I'm thinking if it's nice this weekend or next i'm whipping out a maxi dress, i'd say flip-flops but i don't own any yet, primark trip in order.. Too early? Ha 


                                                                                 

♥

My boyfriend is a super duper babe. He's really lovely and deserves the biggest mention - He's been very supportive and is like my best friend really. I don't know how i'd cope without him, it's cheesy i know but hey, he deserves a mention, super babe. It's lovely to find someone you're so comfortable around and still be happy even stuffing 6 chips in your mouth and they still wanna snuggle with you. 


                                                                                 

♥

Also, i'd just like to say a little.. Well it's a massive one - Thank you. To everyone who reads and takes a peek at my blog, i appreciate every single follow or comment i receive. I find it so astonishing if i'm honest, i must be as dull as dishwater haha but no, it's lovely. I'm so over the moon with nearly 40 followers, to some they'd say don't be silly but even just 10 makes my day. Thank you ladies, you're awesome. 'Blushes'

Product Review | Urban Decay Naked 2 Palette.

Oh hello loverrrrrlies. Now, i knowwwwww how late i am on the bandwagon with this - slaps wrist. Infact that bandwagon hoped into a box and sailed away on a blimming boat, that's how late i am ha. It's the one of the most talked about beauty items i've seen and now there's three of them, blimming eck urban decay, you didn't waste any time did you. Right, get your self a tea ladies as it's a long one. 


I have always been a fan of urban decays palettes i have the NYC Book Of Shadows which i love whipping out for a night out  and my mum got it for a Christmas, i was very impressed - well done mum! The colours are so fab. It's a palette that's always inspired me to create a you tube and use it to create tutorials. I also have a shimmery silver one with a skull on it, again from my mum, she's pretty fab. As well as lusting over the Naked Collection i have wanted the Smoked Palette too. It's the price factor, i'm always thinking it's too expensive and i'm terrible when it comes to things like this as i don't ever buy myself anything, i'm a nightmare. 




But whilst i was in Manchester i did really hope to find a Urban Decay stand somewhere, i did look online and it wasn't very helpful that'll be down to me more than the interwebs. I knew whilst i had monies and my intention was to buy make up, like Mac that i couldn't really get my hands on or wouldn't normally buy - lets say haha 
however, i had a funny feeling whilst i was out with my boyfriend Carl, after buying me some uggs yay, i now own uggs. Buy. Some. - They're so warm and they haven't left my feet, right sorry. We went in and woolah there was a Urban Decay counter, i literally yanked Carl, the poor thing. Now i'm not going to lie, they're all so beautiful and have loaaads to offer but  i think it boils down to what colours and finishes you're looking for. I knew i either wanted the first one or the second as the third didn't really appeal that much, however when looking at it, it did look pretty amazing and i could see why it's being loved, the pinky toned eye-shadow are so nice and yes, i did want to play with it then and there, i didn't swatch toooo much as i thought Carl, being there was so super duper sweet and he's a boy, come on ladies we know what they're like when it comes to shopping but he was so lovely, giving it the ' they'd look nice or this would look nice, i like the colours in here' bless him, such a babe i was very impressed! Ramble, done. 


Anyway, i think what put me off for a long-time is the shimmery shades. Until invested, i say invested they're cheap as chips - The MUA (make up academy) Palettes as they do a dupe for Urban Decay 2. I came to love them more, i've always been a matte lover! i like mixing the two up though, i opted for this as i do love to smoke up my everyday eye-shadow looks, being a big eye-shadow lover it was a must to eventually own one of these, my other palettes have seen better days as they're pretty battered! It's more taupe than the other two palettes i think that's why i stirred more to it, i do like this mix in here. There's everything from highlight shades to all over lid shades and crease and something to darken up the crease! It's become my everyday thing as i caaaaaaant put it down and like most, i'm sure. I absolutely loove it and highly recommend you all buy, soon - you probably do own this haha i'm just late. The packaging doesn't really thase me to be honest i didn't really buy it for that purpose, i just knew i'd use it to death and that for me was worth the money. 

 The palette contains 12 eye-shadows, 3 of which of matte and the rest are shimmers. Now, i don't know about you but 12 eye-shadows for £37. Isn't half bad. 

Shadows from left to right - Foxy, Half Baked, Booty Call, Chopper, Tease, Snake Bite, Suspect, Pistol & Verve. 

Shadows from left to right - Verve, YDK, Busted & Blackout. 



Overall all, the palette its self is a loverrrly little addition to have in my collection, i'm very happy i brought it and i haven't put it down since buying - that's a whole lotta love right there. I'm currently loving, foxy all over the lid which is one of the matte shades, Foxy - shimmer. In the inner corners to brighten and under my brow bone as a highlight. Half baked which is my absolute fave out of all of the shadows on my lid inner part. Chopper on the outer part and Ydk in the crease with a little bit of Busted to darken up. I'm looking into maybe trying The 3rd palette that's out there, but not just yet. If you're looking for a daytime, nighttime palette that is completely versatile then pick this up, it's been totally worth it in my eyes! <3 





        Have you used this? Or used any of the Naked Palettes - What do you think of them? 



I'd just like to also say, i'm at 36 followers. To some that won't be a lot, but to me it means the absolute world i'm so thankful to all who read or even look at my blog, I'd not be doing this if it wasn't for all the support shared, you're lovely and the response as been incredible! Thank you, all of you. xxxxxxxx 

Panic Attacks.

I need to firstly stress just how emotional, how fearful and just how scary this post is to write. It's taking me so much courage to sit and talk to you all especially to share my story with you all and to the rest of the world. It's a post i knew i always, always wanted to compose ever since i started up my blog, i didn't want to be just a beauty blog and i do fully intend on doing other lifestyle related posts especially on subjects like this, i to happen to suffer with and now know a great deal about. I know, just how much things like this helped me and still do, it's a load off to know so many other people do also suffer with this and that you're not alone and are, in fact very normal, i remember feeling so overwhelmed when i discovered it wasn't just me and that it's not all in my head or that i'm not dying, i'm not mental and there's really nothing wrong with me, i'm fine and i'm just human. 



In general i know you may not even get anxiety or suffer with panic attacks, but you could know someone who does a friend, or a relative or even your boyfriend or girlfriend. This, well for me i always find it so helpful and reassuring hearing something from someone who knows something well, so this may help you to know what they feel like, are experiencing or even having to cope with at the time - If you do, like me suffer with anxiety and panic attacks then this i hope, will help you - in many ways, lets hope. This is going to be a long old post and i do apologize for that, but it's something that's not light on the old keyboard, so before i begin i just wanted to stress that, it's going to be a very detailed post so do forgive me for that, but the more you know on something is not a bad thing let me tell you. 




Ok, So What Is Anxiety? Anxiety, Often triggered by stress can effect our whole being, it can effect how we feel to even how we behave making us feel very vulnerable. It's incredibly un-settling most of the time when i'm anxious i'll feel like i'm having a panic attack, when i'm really not as the symptoms are very real, It's very associated with fear but we know what we're fearing but not so sure what and why we're anxious, We're all get this, some more than others of course. Anxiety comes from worrying, well in my case as i'm a huge worrier. Some anxiety is useful because like feeling nervous before a job interview or before a hair cut as it makes us more alert and if you're about to sit an exam it can help with your performance during that exam which obviously isn't a bad thing. It effect's your whole body and your mind too, it can be very scary and very intense some people can get different spurges of anxiety and feel scared, nervous and other's will just be experiencing the milder side from having a stressful day at the office or something and will be able to calm themselves down and go on as normal, others however, like me can then go onto having a panic attack. 



I often find that anxiety creeps up on you, it catches you out when you least expect it to happen to you. It's like being hit by a car as it's so intense it catches you with surprise. It's an awful emotion to feel and although it lies in all of us even if you think it doesn't to you, it does. It just effects us all in different ways. 




The ' Fight Or Flight' Reflex? You may have heard of this term, you may not have. Anxiety and fear aren't always awful as they do in fact protect you from dangerous situations - When your feeling under threat the anxiety and fear trigger releases hormones and adrenaline is released. This causes your heart to beat faster and to carry blood where it's needed, you breathe faster to provide the extra oxygen required for energy. 

The sweating you do is to prevent our-self from over-heating. Mouth's feeling dry because our digestive slows down to allow more blood to be sent to our muscles - our brains also becomes more alert and senses are enlightened. These changes are body amazingly makes are to make our body able to take action and protect us during a dangerous situation either by running away or flighting thus being named the Fight Or Flight Reflex. 





Ok, What Is A Panic Attack?: I can only describe these as a feeling of dying, it's horrible but it's honestly how they make you feel - A Panic Attack Is a exaggeration of fear, stress or excitement. It's a very intense, scary time of build ups of a pounding heart-beat, trembling, shaking, sweating and cold and hot flushes, headaches sickness, stomach cramps, pins and needles, numbness - they're the worst things in the world. 


Although they only last a short while and reach their peak within 10 minutes, i can honestly tell you from experience they feel like hours! And that's because, you can have re-incurring ones that come on again, again and again when in reality they're 5-10 minutes long - Some people, i'm so very jealous may only ever get one or as i like to call bursts of not being able to breathe etc, a mini. Once in their life's and never ever get another panic attack, others like me or you can get them once a month, twice a week, twice a day. 


Panic Attacks, can happen at any time - even in the night or in the very middle of the night. I find these have always happened if my brain is on high alert of if i'm anxious beforehand. Again, down to anxiety the brain detects this and interpets as a sign of danger when in fact, no you're not in danger, it's not a dangerous situation you're led in bed, safe. Night Time attacks are the most frightening ones, as you're half asleep or you're tired, you're even more confused and dazed and helpless to of seen them coming or know when they are.

'I'm walking into town, then the earth shifts to one side, my heart's hammering as if it's about to explode, i'm feeling sick, i'm scared, what's happening to me, my vision is blurred my hands are sticky with sweat'


As well as the intensity of not being able to catch your breath, you can also experience the following symptoms all of these being absolutely physical, you might not get all of these but you may get some but to show you what happens to us, or the person you know that sufferers. 


- Rapid Heartbeat
- Trembling. 
- Sweating, Sweaty Palms & Feet.
- Hot Flushes Then Cold Flushes.
- Numbness Of Hands, Feet & Sometimes The Left Or Right Hand Side Of Your Body. 
- Blurred Vision. 
- Feeling Sick.
- Butterflies In Your Stomach. 
- Pins & Needles.
- Ringing In Your Ears.
- Feeling Faint Or Dizzy.
- Feeling Like You're Going To Die.
- Feeling Like You're Not With It.




What's Your Experience With Them? This is what i've been dreading the most, this is very very personal and quite scary to be honest with you guys. I have suffer with Anxiety & Panic Attacks for 9 whole years, my first one being when i was just fourteen. I can quite place my first ever panic attack, i think where i was so young, scared that i moved on quite quickly and use to forget all about them, or something. 


I do remember times of having them, some of my earliest memories of panic attacks were my school years - i was heavily bullied at school, for everything. I remember constantly being scared and fearful then, even at fourteen years old - Being sat in the school medical room waiting to be collected by my mother, my palms being sweaty and my head thumping and feeling like i was going to throw up, having blurred vision just wanting to be okay, for this to go away being scared wondering what was going on, why was this happening. 


When i have a panic attack, i instantly know what's happening, i then panic to high heavens and i do scare easily anyway, even now at twenty three i tell you they're just as frightening as when i was fourteen. I cry, scream and sometimes i'll think, ' am i dying?' I wouldn't wish panic attacks on my very worst enermy, they're not nice, they're absolutely vile. 

My heads thumping, my hearts racing and i feel like i'm going to throw up but i can't my eyes are streaming with tears, my hands are sweaty, i can't feel the one side of my face, i'm scared - these are just some of the things i have said, or felt during a panic attack. I can't cope, and i tell you i end up feeling absolutely drained afterwards and there isn't a time where i don't think, argh when are you going to happen again. 



My First Ever Panic Attack: I'm not sure what actually triggered my panic attack this day, i remember it being a normal day - although, i could be wrong as bullying for me was a constant factor in my life. I remember being sat in a french lesson, i was sat towards the back of the classroom next to my best friend without a doubt. I remember beginning to feel nervous, butterflies were in my tummy. This over whelming urge came over me where my whole body began to shake, it was strange - terrifying. I wanted to run but i felt physically unable to move - fear or flight - I began to hyperventilate, i remember crying and my friend, i don't remember what she said to my teacher but i felt her lift me out of my seat, everyone had noticed and were staring and whispering amognst themselves, pointing - i felt, silly, embarrassed and frightened, i didn't know what was happening, i was scared. I think i tried to talk but i physically couldn't - the whole side of my face felt numb, i had blurred vision and as we left the classroom i lifted my hand up to feel my face, it felt heavy and like it wasn't mine, i remember struggling to walk, and feeling numb in my leg and limping almost. Crying with absolute fear, of feeling hot and cold and scared, i was seated in the nurses office. 

What felt like hours and hours, sat there on my own - little check ups now and then. Alone, scared my mother turning up and carrying me out explaining to me that my dad, gets them. I remember, feeling like this for the rest of the day into the early hours, i think i had several attacks that night, sat up with my mum hours later with migraines, i did eventually discover that my dad and my family have all had these, it's probably just in my family or something - i promise you now, although i might to get them this bad, i still scare like this and they do sometimes go on for hours, i do experience all of the same symptoms. 




What Does Carl Do? Or My Parents Do, Or My Family? Like i told you, this wasn't going to a brief post, Carl is my boyfriend - he's fully aware of what happens, what i'm experiencing and how i'm feeling when i'm having a panic attack. Carl, importantly doesn't smoother me, there isn't anything worse - although it's obvious he won't make it obvious that i'm having a panic attack, it's horrible and i've had people pointing and saying it, i don't think there's anything worse than that, i'm already aware that it's happening. 


He'll get me a cold glass of water, food - i can't always eat or drink it but sometimes it can help. He'll be there with plenty of support, hugs and space. I can sometimes sleep it off, not always - rare. So he'll put me into bed, we'll sometimes go for a drive, the fresh air can help me and can take me out of the situation i'm already in, that's wonderful - If, my leg isn't numb, most time i do get numbness, we'll go for a walk - so good. 


My Parents, are too - wonderful. They're so helpful, it's so nice and reasuring knowing my dad has them, obviously isn't so good i don't like him getting them, but he can sit down with me and he'll talk me through and make sure i know that i'm going to be fine, 'he's always fine after one. It's only for a short space of time etc'. It's so helpful, he'll hold my hand as will carl and just reasure me, having someone there is so nice, it's never good to be alone during a panic attack as you're not with it, dazed and sometimes - it's never happened to me, but i know people who have passed out during a panic attack. 




After Thoughts & Physiological Effects: Panic Attacks are very draining, they take so much energy and for weeks i've felt tired, drained and it takes a lot to be ok again afterwards even in your mind, i have been and honestly even now, at twenty three fearful, i'll sometimes be on edge, i'll be overwhelmed, weepy and sometimes dependent on other people, i know i was. 

It also stays with you, I feel for me my brain stored this information and every attack i've had, now i can't shake them and will probably get them my whole life. I would worry so much, about everything - i can't say i'd avoid things, i don't think i ever did. Rides, are the only thing that spurs to mind, like roller coasters that go upside down, they truly freak me out - I'd struggle to cope, i'd think when's my next one? Am i okay, what's wrong with me etc? I did however, develop an illness though this - sadly, that was depression. I don't think i ever had a disorder, which you can get. 


I had several attacks before i went to the doctors, they were happening a lot, in the bath, at work - everywhere. I knew something was up, as they weren't ever that often. I don't want to go into too much detail as again this even more personal than the panic attacks so I'll keep this brief. But it's so possible for depression, panic disorders or anxiety orders to happen as it can take over you, it's sometimes very get difficult to cope with, I won't lie. I'm all okay now, but it happens. 

I've previously mentioned about the physical symptoms. When I feel a panic attack coming on or a huge sudden burst of anxiety. I quickly think, right calm down. You're okay, just breathe. If it's a bad panic attack or what I think will be. I'll take myself away from the situation I'm in completely, I'll go for a walk, drive or even try to stick a film on or something. Although, the symptoms can still be happening and you'll be still having a panic attack I've personally found once you control your breathing and remember to not panic as this does, it's so hard not too - but it makes it worse and will make I longer. In my personal experience I've found once you do that. It seems to make the time of having one shorter and less tramatic. 

I always panic once one comes on, I think 'oh no, I'm dying' but I'm not, the symptoms are so intense that honestly you'd be surprised how many forums I've read where people have said those exact words. I think I just think, it's just a panic attack, let it get on with It and it'll go away, it's not you dying you're fine really and you're perfectly normal and you're going to be perfectly fine. 


I need to stress that just because you may get panic attacks you're still human, you're still normal, you're very healthy! You're also not alone. It's actually so common and I remember being so overwhelmed when I had heard that my own dad did to suffer and that people on his side of our family had and do! It's not you, it's just how your body and mind work, if you ever ever need anyone to talk to about this then please feel free to message me.

Product Review | Urban Decay All Nighter Make Up Setting Spray & Update

Hallo dears. How's it hanging? - to the left or to the right? Ha. I hope you're all well and loving this fab weather we're having at the mo! It's luuuuuush. Right, i have been somewhat M.I.A and i wanted to update you as to why this is, i'm sorry - slaps wrist. I became very poorly, nothing life threatening but when i'm poorly i do feel like i'm going to die ha. I just had a terrible chest, snotty nose etc and this was also whilst i was away in Manchester which i loved so so much. However, it ruined it as we came home earlier than planned as  i originally thought i had a chest infection/tonsillitis - sobs. However, after a huge 11 hour sleep i felt okay and not as poorly, i'm just starting to recover although my throat has became sore again, depressing. I also, started a new job eeeee. I'm now working at subway, as a sandwich artist in training ee i'm excited as i loove subway and the hours are so fab so i can return back to college :) Me and my boyfriend, Carl. Are also flat/house hunting! As we're ready to live together and i can't tell you how excited and happy i'm feeling for this, i can't wait for it to be just us, and to polka dot, shabby chic etc the place up, hehe. Very busy! I do hope you forgive me, i will say though whilst i was in Manchester i did manage to pick up so many new beauty items that i've wanted for the looooooongest time and that people recommended etc and i'm currently using all of them so expect lots of product rambles soooon! Anyways, on to the matter in hand. 




I'm not one for Make Up Setting Sprays, i've just stuck with a primer now and then and hoped for the best i guess. I picked this up as i had originally heard a lot about it from bloggers and you tubers, i opted for a try me size as i didn't wanna fork out the heafty twenty pounds on something like this as prior to this i don't often use them or in-case i didn't like it - being only £8 when i saw it i turnt to my carl and yelled grab me that whilst i ran off to the naked paletes ha i have to say overwhelmed wouldn't be the right word to use ha. I'm sure i gave the shop assistant a fright with my squeels and screams. 

Urban Decay All Nighter Make Up Setting Spray -£8 

My thoughts on this are that i'm loving it, loads. I love that when you use this spray the pump mechanism doesn't release loads of product, it comes out in small amounts and that to me is important as i don't wanna use more than i need too, i've been using this every day after i've applied my daily make up and then off i go! 
I have definitely noticed this working as when i've came home from work i've needed to use more cleanser to remove my make up and this locks in your make up and well, keeps it in place. I also love, that when you've applied this you can feel it drying on your face so you know it's working and there's something quite satisfying about that - it's nice to know the product is doing what it's claiming to do! 

I like the packing although i've always liked how urban decay package their items anyway. I find this product doesn't leave my face feeling sticky, or looking oily or like i'm sweating aha. Love that the formula is oil free, paraben free has temperature control technology. Helps smooth fine lines, keeps my make up looking as if it's just been applied it's brilliant and something i'm considering buying the full size of! I think even people with sensetibe skin can use as urban decay have thought of everyone and made it product for everyone and their skin types, overall i'm absolutely in love with it. It's a product that really really works. 

Do i think it's worth it's price tag? I will agree it's hefty. And obviously, i have the 'try me' size here but even this 30ml lasts a long time, or i feel it will as you don't need to spray loads, the pump gives enough for the whole face - The product it's self does work, and if you image search the full size it is decent. I suppose, it boils down to how much you'd use this like if you were to go out a lot or just every day use. It's worth it's hype and as soon as this is up i fully intend on purchasing the full size at twenty pounds.
