The Great Setting Spray Heist of 2026

So I’m getting ready this morning, reach for my trusty setting spray - you know, the good stuff that costs more than a tank of gas - and it’s completely empty.

The Great Setting Spray Heist of 2026

Not like “oh there’s a few sprays left” empty. Like “someone used this entire bottle in one sitting” empty.

Naturally, I call a family meeting. Marcus claims innocence (obviously). Theo doesn’t even know what setting spray is. That leaves one suspect.

The evidence

Sophie walks into the kitchen and I hold up the evidence, and her face immediately tells me everything I need to know.

Turns out my daughter used THE ENTIRE BOTTLE for one day of school. One day!

The negotiation begins

When I asked her why, she said her friend told her you’re supposed to “really saturate your makeup to make it last.” I mean, she’s not wrong, but mija, that was a $42 bottle, not a drugstore special!

The worst part? Her makeup looked absolutely flawless that day. So now I have to decide if I’m proud or broke. Currently leaning toward both.

Peak drama

At least I know she learned from the best - mama didn’t raise no basic makeup game. But next time we’re having a lesson about product rationing first.
