Salt Texturising Spray Comparison

So any of you who are up to date in the newest trends will know that salt sprays are the only texturising tool you need this summer. Forget the days of spending hours trying to tame and straighten your unruly hair, just bang one of these in your hair and you're good to go! I've heard the rave about the Toni & Guy salt spray which is a bit splurgy at the price of £7.19 for a hair product (in my opinion). So I decided to go out on the hunt for a great texturising spray which is more on budget. I picked up these 2 products at different times as one of them didnt satisfy me completely. These 2 products are the 'Schwarzkopf got2b beach matt texturizing salt spray' and 'L'oreal studio matt and messy spray'.

Firstly, I walked upon the Schwarzkopf product as it was on offer for £3.50 (RRP £4.49). As the spray was in quite a large bottle (200ml) I thought I was getting my moneys worth. The product promises 'mermaid look hair in seconds', sadly, it didn't live up to its expectations. The spray itself is more of a liquid gloop rather than a spray consistency, the actual product doesn't dissolve into your hair leaving it sticky. This isn't the only disappointing factor to this concoction. The smell of the spray isn't too distinctive which I personally don't like. There are small particles of salt in the spray which cling to your clothes and hair while applying it. Unfortunately, the product doesn't offer a clean application. I found that the spray is quite difficult to aim into my hair as it flies out at random angles, this causes a lot of mess across my desk and wardrobe (more cleaning, ugh). Overall, this product doesn't give defined waves, but gives a lot of hassle and cleaning to the owner. Not a good buy for the price.

Fortunately, today I found the L'oreal Studio spray and picked it up for a nifty £1.96 (RRP £3.65, good ol' Superdrug and it's offers). Though the bottle is smaller (150ml), it is more compact and easy to use. I find that the spherical shape of the bottle fits into my palm perfectly enabling me a more accurate application. The consistency of the spray is very thin and airy, which is what us girls look for in a good styling product, it dries very quickly in your hair not leaving it sticky and heavy. I think that the smell of the product is very pleasant and sweet, it smells quite like a perfume! Honestly, I don't think I could rave about this product enough!! I've only had it about 6 hours and I love it to pieces already! It is soooo much better than the Schwarzkopf product by  long shot, it is cheaper and has a much better consistency and smell. Also, the L'oreal product offers a more promising concept, and achieves it fantastically. I found that the Studio spray gives more beachy waves and still leaves your hair quite straight giving it more of a tousled effect.

So, if you're going to go looking for a texturising spray, definitely avoid the Schwarzkopf Matt Spray. I would seriously reccommend the L'oreal Studio spray, and maybe to try the Fudge Salt Spray as I've heard only good things about it (even if it is a bit more pricey at £8.50). I hope this post has given you more of a clear idea of which products to plomp for if you're looking for a new hair styling product for this summer. Have a good summer guys!

Maybelline Colour Tattoo

After seeing all the hype about this product on blogs and on youtube, I figured that I would go out and splurge on this product. I was going to buy the MUA Undressed palete, but decided to follow along with the hype on this product as it seemed well worth while. And I agree!! This product is basically an eye shadow base, it has a creamy formula and doesn't rely on a lot of blending into the eye with vigorous movements. The colour of this cream is a bronzed brown with subtle shimmer running through it. It is very natural against my skin tone and I find it very wearable on a day to day basis. I've seen many people using this as a base with other eye shadows packed on top of it, but I find that it's suitable to wear on its own making no statement. I think that it is one of those products that you can use a little of to create the 'I'm not wearing any makeup' look. It is very natural and blend-able onto the skin. As the skin around your eye is very delicate, I think this product caters for these areas as it doesn't need to be pulled across the eye with a brush- it can easily be blended with the tip of your finger. This product comes in a wide variety of colours to create endless amounts of looks, and for a cheap price of £5 you can't go wrong. Will be repurchasing other colours in the collection.

So here it is, the first week of the summer holidays. I thought I'd just post a quick outfit of the day to keep you guys updated. Last time I checked, I had 195 pageviews on here! That's mental!! Considering that I haven't promoted my blog on any sites, I think I've got quite a lot of feedback. So thankyou to anyone who is reading this. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask you guys to check out my tumblr (youfindmycharmsresistable.tumblr.com) as I update it more regularly than this blog. Also, I think this is the first time I've posted a picture of my face, so sorry if i've let anyone down there haha! I'll try to post more often now as I have more time in the summer holidays. I am also going to Paris in a couple of weeks so I'll try and upload some pictures from when I go there. Hope you guys are having a fun 6 weeks off!
