I have been using All Nighter for about two months now. I love it & it has now become an accentual in my kit. The packaging is like a normal spray container with a gorgeous skylit label on it along with product details & list of ingredients on the back. All Nighter has a hint of a clean scent but nothing to over powering. It comes in a nice spray bottle that mists product really well over the face. I have noticed that when you go to spray a few times the sprayer can get stuck due to product buildup. All Nighter is extremely easy to apply. I spritz my face before, to act as a base, & after my makeup application 3-5 times. It really keep my foundation from sliding due to my oily skin. Which is a major plus for anyone with oily skin. Also I have noticed that when I touch my face I don’t get makeup residue on my fingers or when I’m on my phone. It doesn’t quite hold up on the 16 hour makeup wear that is stated on the bottle, more so around 12 hours. When first applied to skin it can feel a bit tacky but after a few minutes this feeling goes away. Also All Nighter doesn’t feel heavy on the skin, its very lightweight & sometimes you don’t even noticed you spritzed your face. When I used All Nighter I have noticed that my makeup looks fresh throughout the day. As if i have just applied it. No hourly touchups needed which saves me so much time.

American Beauty Show in Chicago: Night 2

The night after the American Beauty Show my college, La James International, held a kind of party for us at the Fountain Blue. It was a 1920s theme with great music an amazing meal & of course the best of friends. The building was gorgeous & perfect for a wedding reception. Its on my list for wedding locations. Here are a few pictures of that night.
