REVIEW: urban decay vs. nyx setting spray

You know that feeling when you spend £9 on a product and then it doesn't work? it burns yes. So I heard the hype surrounding the Urban decay setting spray, but I didn't really know where i could purchase it so i didnt bother, then i came across it in Debenhams Westfield and I thought it might be a good product to invest in because of my oily skin, make-up would barely last and everyone said it was worth it, so ofcourse I bought it - the oil control one rather than the regular one because oil was my problem - I tested it out the next day on top of my make up and it felt like I just doused my face in oil, I thought ok maybe it dries or something along those lines, but it literally just felt slippery all day and incredibly uncomfortable. (So me being me i started to experiment because after paying £9 for it no wayyyy I wouldn't make it work) So i thought I'd apply it before each layer of make up and see the result, - i checked my face all day and I feel like it made my skin waaaaaay oilier than it ever was before, or like i was just sweating uncontrollably, im still mourning the loss of my £9 because honestly I don't understand why im being sold such dreams, like it does nothing '_'

Anyways, after i gave up on this one, i tried all sorts to keep my make up, i tried hairspray (still way better than UD but i don't believe its healthy so i didnt continue with that experiment)  my sister purchased a duo pack for £12 (i think) with the matte and dewy finish setting spray by NYX and gave me the matte one, I didn't have high hopes for it because of my experience with the UD one, so I just applied it on top of my make up and didn't think much - except the droplets are so big you have to smudge the watermarks off your skin, the spray dried within seconds giving your face a slight matte feel, I still didn't really pay attention to it, I checked my face later that day and realised my make up lasted longer than with the UD spray and with no spray, I was still slightly oily however it was waaay better than the UD finish . By the end of the day my make up wasn't the exact same as it was when I first did it, but it barely changed, everything was still on my face but with a slight oil production which I was happy about, but im not sure if it's something i'd repurchase.

basically urban decay was a total waste as it made my face way oiler than to begin with & nyx definitely kept my make up all day. NYX WINS. however i feel like setting spray isn't even worth your money & I dont think i'll try the UD all nighter or the chill makeup as I can't afford to throw away another £10 D: but ill definitely stick to NYX.
