"I've been really loving this L'Oreal setting spray. I also have a lot of high-end setting spray favorites, but again with like replenishing my entire routine at once on Amazon, I wanted a lot of my affordable favorites to be a part of this video. And this is definitely one of those. I'm wearing it today. It really does lock in your makeup. It's really nice. It's great for longevity."

"The one I recommend for this [...] is the L'Oreal Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist. It really does lock everything in place. It doesn't sting your eyes. I think this performs just as well as Sephora setting sprays at a fraction of the cost."

"I did not enjoy this spray. It felt like hairspray, particularly in my hair. I had to do a lot of brushing out of my hair to get it out of my hair. [...] I'm not sold."

"The spray can is not as controlled as I was expecting it to be. It smells like hairspray. And the can very much looks like hairspray, too. And it's got quite some fragrance to it. Doesn't smell bad, but it's very apparent the fragrance. I definitely say that I get way more control with the spray for the one size. [...] And the L'Oreal setting spray is very wet when it comes out."

"Claims up to 36-hour wear and is not fragrance-free; [...] it smells and even feels exactly like hairspray, to the point that when it got on her laptop it felt like hairspray residue. It has a super fine, [...] ultra-lightweight mist and sprays nice and evenly. All of that is great, but she can't get past the [...] hairspray smell and feel, so it's not for her personally, though she says if none of that would bother you and [...] all you care about is ultra-long wear, you might really love it."

"It's this horrible, horrendous hairspray in a can. It is just leftover hairspray, I'm convinced, allegedly. In my opinion, I love L'Oreal products, but this is just okay. [...] People love it out there, and it truly does hold. My one concern is the texture and the smell. You better hold your breath and leave the room after you finish spraying it, because it is hairspray and it smells terrible. A lot of us used to use hairspray back in the day. [...] We had fewer things back then."

"The smell of this first up [...] is like hairspray. It smells just like Elnett. You know when a really, like, classy person walks past and they just reek of Elnett, you're like, yeah, that's what that smells like. Not only that, it's not the best, really, at holding on your foundation. [...] The way this sits on the skin is exactly how I would imagine a layer of hairspray to sit on the skin. Like, you can't breathe. You can't breathe."
