"I can remember the day vividly: I ventured into Sephora at the mall with my mom ahead of my 8th grade graduation in search of a makeup setting spray that would keep my face full of product in place for the duration of the ceremony and dance that followed. I had seen the Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray ($33) on some of my friends' vanities but had never bought anything from the brand myself (I was all about that drugstore beauty product life). It took a lot for me to muster up the courage to spend $30 from my literal piggy bank — I think a checking account came the year after — on a single product but it was so worth it. After that, I used it sparingly and held onto that same bottle for way longer than I should have." — Jessica Harrington, associate beauty editor
