The Great Setting Spray Education of 2026

So remember yesterday when Sophie was asking about my skincare routine and I was feeling all proud about passing down beauty wisdom to the next generation?

The Great Setting Spray Education of 2026

Yeah, well, karma has a sense of humor.

This afternoon I went to do my makeup and reached for my setting spray - you know, the good Urban Decay one that I splurge on because it actually works - and found this.

The evidence

Completely. Empty. Sophie apparently didn’t understand that ‘a light mist’ means exactly that, not ‘use half the bottle per application.’

The look on her face when I showed her how much it costs online was honestly worth the $32.

The shame is real

Almost. She’s now volunteered to do dishes for two weeks and has promised to ask before borrowing ANY of my products.

The moment she realized what Urban Decay costs

We’ll see how long this newfound respect for expensive beauty products lasts.

Marcus, of course, found the whole thing hilarious and kept taking pictures of my exasperation. Sometimes I question his survival instincts.
