Crap I clicked send too fast I'm on my phone LOL.
Purchased From: Skindinavia Site

Oil Control Primer Review: So any one that read my first thread is probably like?? what Chelle I though you had dry skin(?) I do. I totally ordered the wrong primer which is on me. That being said, I still really like this primer. I do not feel it is for me personally, because I notice I produce MORE oil using this, but the formula itself is great. "How can you say that?", well lol I used it on a client that was going to a formal event Saturday, and she sent pictures and texts raving about how her skin which IS oily - stayed matte and her skin looked like skin not cake (I also used the setting spray on her). So I WILL keep this on hand for clientele because this seems to be a keeper. Will I keep it for personal use? No, due to my skin type.

Setting Spray Review: OMG GUYYYSSSSS Lol *insert childish excitement*, I love this setting spray. I thought I would hate it because for me PERSONALLY I am not a fan of sprays and primers. I use them on others for their comfort but I just don't like them for me. I feel like primers can make your make up slip off easier (it's happened to me with numerous primers from drugstore to BH cosmetics to UD), and that setting sprays can sometimes feel like a mask, or ruin all the work you just did causing your make up to look patchy. Well let me tell you guuurllluuuhhh, lol Skindinavia has my skin, LOOKING like skin. FEELING like skin. I do not get ANY color transfer from my BB cream (which I will also do a review on at a later date). I use this in conjunction with the primer, and even though the primer causes me to get oily, after oil blotting that one time I do not get oily anymore after that.

Final Thoughts: So I purchased the wrong primer, which is going to cause me to do some experimenting. I want to get my hands on the bridal setting spray and regular primer. It's almost summer time and getting hot and humid, and I do tend to perspire a little. I would love to test these in conjunction with each other and other products and see how they work out. I will keep you guys updated!

Special thanks to GRACE G. for recommending these!

Great Review Chelle!
What setting sprays have you tried before? I'm not sure if your aware but Skindinavia makes setting spray product's for other lines like UD & Mary Kay. :)

That's awesome! Thanks for the review! I've always been satisfied with Urban Decay's setting sprays, which are made by Skindinavia, but maybe I'll have to check out their own brand when I run out. :)

@Alma Thank you :). I have only tried the primers by UD, I have never tried their setting sprays. I'm new to the whole setting spray game (on myself). I have clients that swear by them so I do use them on them. I've never needed long lasting coverage and I just started using powder as my foundation and I wanted to get rid of that cake-powder look lol. I did Not know that they created UD sprays because I would've just tried what I had in my kit 😩. I will definitely purchase for personal use. But I have recently tried model in a bottle as well, not a huge fan lol.

@Jamie NP! I also got around to purchasing that Cerave Moisturizer you recommended and I love it! My skin no long feels/looks dehydrated and I don't have to layer like I did with my Simple brand face lotion.
But yes, Skindinavia is pretty awesome. When I run out I'm going to purchase full sized bottles in the set for $60 😊. And I will give UD sprays a try.
