 Hello, girlfriends. I am so excited for you to be here at this video today because for the first time ever, I get to co-host a giveaway with Rakuten. And I am beyond happy about this. So Rakuten is a cashback rebate type site that you can go to and you get cashback just for shopping on their site and signing up on their site. And so I've teamed up with them and they're going to do a $100 giveaway through my channel and I can't be more excited to do this. So in order to qualify for the giveaway, you have to sign up for Rakuten. You're going to sign up through my link down below. And I'll make sure that's in the first comment, but it's also going to be down here in the description box as well, so you know that. So you sign up through my link, you go over to Rakuten. Once you make your very first purchase, you're gonna get $30 back automatically, which is a huge bonus, that's a gargantuan bonus. And I also get a bonus for you signing up through my link. So that's the way that I actually get co-sponsored with them is I get a bonus too. So it's really exciting for both of us. And then it's so easy because if you're on your computer, you can actually put on your computer a desktop extension and it will actually run in the background as you're shopping and it will help you shop for the very best deals and help you see where you can get the cash back from, which is wonderful, but you can also have an app on your phone where you can just tap on that app and then shop through the app. And it is so simple and so easy. And then quarterly, you're going to get what they call my big fat check. And it's however much you've gotten accumulated during that quarter for just plain shopping on sites that Rakuten is co-sponsored with. And I think it is so cool. But then once you've done that signing up through them, I want you to come back and right underneath where you've signed up through my link will be the link that you can go to to sign up for the $100 giveaway, which is super exciting. And basically it's just a couple of things about making sure that you're subscribed to my channel and watching maybe a couple others for some bonus and making a comment or two. It's not gonna be very hard, but it's gonna be through their specific link so that they can keep track of it and so that they can notify the winners once the giveaway is over. So simple, so easy. And I just wanna say thank you so much to Rakuten for co-sponsoring this giveaway with me and also for being so generous as to give that giveaway to you guys. So don't forget to go do that. I'm super excited about it. Now we're gonna get into the video. My shirt, I will put a little clip of me right here where you can see the shirt really cute, just a long sleeve little buttons right here. Comes with a bunch of different colors, really nice, long-sleeved, warm winter shirt, scoop neck, just really like it a lot. And then my jewelry is this cute little necklace and the heart earrings too. And those will be listed and linked below as well. So the video today is all about setting sprays for the woman that is over 40. And I put on my thumbnail 40 to 65 plus because I feel like as we get older and we get into this age, what happens to us is our skin dries out and setting sprays can be really tricky for most of us. And I say that because most of us with mature skin get very dry. Now there are exceptions. Those of you that are combo to oily skin and you have that problem, I just wanna say right here that I'm not gonna be going over that kind of setting spray but I'll give you a couple of suggestions. The one that is right here is Urban Decay All Nighter. It is one that has been touted that will keep your makeup on forever. That is a really good one, but it's a little bit pricey. The Morphe Continuous Mist. This is a fantastic one. I've used this in the summer when it's so hot outside and humid and I really need to keep mine on and it has a fantastic mist on it too. So it's really good. So those are really good as well. And I also like Flower Beauty Seal the Deal, their original one. So those are some of my favorites and that's what I would suggest to you if you are somebody that does have oily, combo skin and you have a problem with your oil break through through the day. So these ones that I'm gonna show you are the ones that I prefer for my dry skin. And the number one reason that I prefer them is because they don't have the alcohol in them that dries you out. We're going to start out with my number six choice but these are six that you could absolutely 100% go and pick any of them up and be completely satisfied with. I really use all of these. So this one is kind of the newest one to me. I got this one about six months ago and I really like it. And it's the ColourPop No Filter Setting Mist. So if you look really close so you can see this settling that you're getting in the bottle right there, hopefully you're gonna be able to see that. Just a little bit of separation right there. So you shake this up really well to put it on. That's gonna be whatever the really good hydration is in there. So this is a really good one for keeping you hydrated and at the same time keeping the makeup in place. And the other thing that I look for in a really good setting spray is that it helps any powder products that you're using. So you put your foundation on and you might put a little powder on. If it gets to looking too cakey, I feel like a setting spray should help melt all of those powders together. And that's what I look for in a really good setting spray. And this one is a really good setting spray. The number five setting spray is from Flower Beauty and this is the seal the deal hydrating setting spray. So this, like I said at the beginning, there is one that is just the seal the deal and it's really good for keeping your makeup in place if you're oily. Well, this is the hydrating one but they also have an illuminating one. So this is the one that sits in the middle between those two. So the illuminating one is gonna give you that really nice glow and the setting spray that is just the original, that's going to kind of mattify you down a little bit. This is the one that gives you just a tiny bit of hydration but still sets your makeup very well. And so even though it does say it's hydrating, I don't find that I get dewy looking or even get a satiny look to my face. It just really does its job of setting everything down without drying me out. And one thing I absolutely love so much is that the mist on their bottle is really good and everything's blowing down because I do have a fan overhead but the mist on it is really, really good. And I should have shown you the mist on the Flower Beauty. It's not as good. Now I will tell you that what I do with this one is I will spray it onto the back of my hand. I mean, it's okay, it's just not the greatest. I'll spray it on the back of my hand and I'll either take a brush or a sponge, pick it up and then go over my face with it. So I just, any setting spray that I'm not 100% sold on this little squirt bottle, then I'm going to definitely do something like that. The next one I've been talking about ever since the month that it came out. And I love, and it's almost gone because I'm really working hard on getting this bottle gone because I'm afraid it's going to expire on me, is from Charlotte Tilbury and it's the Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray. This is a setting spray that actually has little polymers in it that go in and they help to blur out your skin. Now this was the first one of these setting sprays that I ever found that I was like, holy Moses, that's pretty awesome that that would happen. So this is a great setting spray. Again, no alcohol, really sets your makeup down very nicely but it gives that little bit of a blurred effect to your skin, which I think is fantastic. And I really have found that there's not much around that is like this, except for one that I am going to show you. But this one from Charlotte Tilbury, it's a best seller and it's for good reason. I am not somebody that really touts Charlotte Tilbury's products because I feel like they're very overhyped and they're overpriced. But I do feel like this setting spray is worth the price and this is probably my third bottle of it and I really do love it. The next one that I'll show to you is one that I got told about from one of you subscribers and I appreciate it when I find fantastic products and you guys are so passionate about them. I love that. So this is from Nutegena and it's the Radiant Setting Spray Healthy Skin Radiant Setting Spray. This is really good. It really doesn't give you a radiance per se. It just gives you a beautiful, pretty glow. And the mister on this isn't the greatest one either. It's a little bit heavy. I don't know if you can see that on my hand or not, but it comes out a little bit heavy. So again, I go ahead and I just sprayed onto a sponge or sprayed onto a brush like this and then just pat it very lightly around on my skin. But this one really does give you a nice, healthy looking satiny glow to your skin. And at the same time, you get those great setting factors, which is it's going to make all of your makeup and your powders and everything just melt together and you're not gonna look like you have any powder on or anything like that. It's just so pretty. And I do really like that this feels like it is just a bit more hydrating because in the wintertime, boy, I'm telling you that when that dry heat comes on, it is just so, so hard for me to keep my skin very hydrated and this does it. So you get the radiance and you get the hydration and you get the setting spray all at the same time. And this is really good and drugstore price, really great for that too. And at the number two spot is the benefit professional. Poor professional is what I really should say. And when I talked about there being one that is a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury, it is this one because this one has the same properties of being able to make your pores look blurred out just a little bit and all that beautiful look to your skin with a setting spray where you're just melting your makeup together and still getting the really great hold that a setting spray does and the benefit you can find on sale all the time. I obviously fell in love with it because it was the alcohol-free product and I'm always looking for those but I just found that it was such a nice setting spray and being able to keep my makeup looking so good. So I will show you the mist on it. Look how fine that mist is. I mean, I could spray my face for like half the day and there hardly be anything to look at on my face. It has such a fine, fine mist. It's almost like an aerosol product but just super duper fine. That's one of the reasons that it's so high up but the product itself, I feel like just can't be beat. It's just very beautiful. And for a woman that is over 40, it is such a good product because it's not gonna do that drying out that some of those other setting sprays would. Now my number one product for any woman that is over 40 and beyond is the new one that came out this year from Mac and it's the Fix Plus Stay Over Setting Spray. I was so excited to see this come out because they had their Mac Fix Plus Radiant Setting Spray but it wasn't really one that everybody could use because it was like, it had that radiant look to it and a lot of people don't like that really dewy look to their skin. They just don't even really want a satin look. So this is kind of the all-purpose one which I was so happy about. So this doesn't have any alcohol. It also has blue light protection in it which I think is so amazing. I spend a ton of time either on my computer or on my phone. I'm there almost all day long. It's what I do for work. So having something like this that has the blue light protection in it is just so amazing to me. So I've both saw these claims when it first came out and well, it still does anytime you buy it. You can see it in the details as you're buying it but it claims to have hydration which it really does and not just immediate hydration when you spray it on but also the hydration that really lasts throughout the day and then it also claims that it keeps your makeup looking truer to color throughout the day. Now this one I was really like, how can it claim that? But for some reason it really does keep your makeup looking the way it did when you put it on. And again, I'll show you the mist. The mist is a little bit heavier, quite a bit heavier actually than the professional but still it's very, very fine. And I can spray this again several times on my face and you are not going to see droplets or anything like that. I love that when you have a good mister and you're paying for a product like this anyway and you've got that just really fine mist across your face. It also has the boast of that longevity for your makeup and I really do feel like it does that. Now it doesn't have the blurring properties that the Benefit or the Charlotte Tilbury boasts about but for me I don't care because I just really love the way this looks and love the way that it wears and it's just a beautiful product and I really can't say enough good about this one. I just am really happy that they did this. I'm super happy that they did it for everybody. So even though you might be combo oily, this still might work for you because it has green tea and different things in it that still hold the oils at bay but it has that magical property of not drying you out at the same time. I love it. I just think it's so good. So that is it for my top picks for setting sprays for women over 40. I hope that you did enjoy this and that you'll give it a thumbs up.
