But let’s face it: Constant spritzing can cost you if you’re picky. Luxury setting sprays can leave a dent in your bank account, but affordable sprays might not get the job done right. So, are either of these risks worth the struggle? Does the high-end really out-perform the drugstore, or is that all utter baloney? I pitted the cheapest setting spray against the most expensive in the ultimate sweat battle. The product’s description on Sephora reads as follows: “A natural, innovative toning mist that sets makeup, provides an instant burst of radiance, and tightens the appearance of pores, featuring the same bestselling formula with a new, improved pump to finely and evenly distribute the lightweight mist.” Basically, this sets your makeup and tones your skin at the same time. i’m not going to lie, the scent of this one is overwhelming — and I’m never picky about how my products smell. Don’t get me wrong, the floral, minty smell is a refreshing one, but you get a hefty whiff just by removing the bottle cap. I’m pretty sure it’s to mask the scent caused by this spray’s high alcohol content. And no, I did not realize how many Kat Von D products I wear daily until I wrote that sentence. Some of my foundation faded around my nose and cheeks, but all in all, this is not a bad look by any means. Let me make this clear: I sweat A LOT. I felt myself dripping through this workout, so this could have gone a lot worse. Its product description reads as follows: “The lightweight, non-sticky formula sets makeup for all day wear. The ultra-fine mist is refreshing and dries quickly setting makeup to help you stay beautiful longer. Paraben and fragrance free.” Unlike Caudalie, this spray doesn’t boast any additional benefits or bell and whistles. It’s just there to do its job and go home. The scent of this one is also VERY overwhelming, but in a worse way. That’s because this spray has the very distinct and very intense odor of alcohol. Based on the formula, it appears to contain less alcohol than Caudalie’s — but you can still smell it from a mile away. But, despite my initial impression, LA Girl performed above my expectations. Caudalie pros: Legitimate makeup preservation, normal skin, refreshing mist, more product, easy makeup removal.Caudalie cons: Ludicrous price tag, intense (albeit nice) fragrance.LA Girl pros: Legitimate makeup preservation, cheap-as-hell price tag.LA Girl cons: Distinct and strong alcohol odor, uneven product distribution, oily skin, less product, stubborn makeup removal.
