BATTLE OF THE SETTING SPRAY: Urban Decay vs. NYX

Hi guys,

Today I am doing another 'Battle of' between the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray and the NYX Matte Finishing spray! I own the travel size version of the UD Spray which is £9 for 30ml (full size is £22 for 120ml. The NYX Spray is £7 for 60ml (double the Travel Size UD Spray for less money.)

I've chosen these two setting sprays because they are both loved in their own categories but I wanted to review them and see which one is "better". 

-URBAN DECAY: ALL NIGHTER SETTING SPRAY-

TRAVEL SIZE: £9 & FULL SIZE: £22

First off, I do believe this spray is worth the hype. I LOVE the smell and it does help my make up last longer. It doesn't change the finish off my make up which I like but I do like the fact that the NYX one makes my face matte. In my opinion, the spray bottle is a little stiff but that's probably just my weakness... I do love this product but the price is something which could put me off purchasing this again.

-NYX: MATTE FINISHING SPRAY-

£7.00

This spray does give a matte finish although it smells like chemicals which does put it at a disadvantage to the UD Spray. I really like the matte finish it gives my make up as it doesn't make my face look cakey. I do find that sometimes the bottle does not spray evenly but I just blot the excess away with a tissue or I push it into my skin with a damp Beauty Blender. 

-THE WINNER-

If you can deal with a very pungent, chemical smell then I believe the NYX spray is great but I prefer the smell of the UD spray. Both sprays keep my make up in place for a long amount of time (a longer time than if I were to not use a setting spray) but it depends if I want a matte finish or just want to keep the normal finish of make up to which one I pick up.
