Lee Stafford Sea Salt Spray

In preparation for summer I decided I was going to go down that route of 'I want beach waves'. I need to look like I've come of the beach with an amazing tan and great hair...which will all be fake. As lets be honest summer lasts a week here.

Anyway, since the beginning of time I have been on the quest to find a sea salt spray which actually works for my hair. So far its been a bit of a rubbish quest, you name the product Ive more than likely tried it and I had pretty much decided that sea salt sprays were a waste of time and money for my 'kind of straight but with a slight wave' hair type. However, I haven't tried Lee Stafford's Sea Salt Spray, which everyone had told me works wonders; with 26 minerals from dead sea salt, sunflower extract to give moisture and shine, I thought this must be it. So in a last bid to see if Sea Salt Sprays were still worth my time, I bought it.

What it claims to do: 'Will bring out the tousled textured look you can usually only get after swimming in the sea. Hair will still feel soft to touch but with added bounce, definition and body to die for!' It also says you can spray and blow-dry as normal, spray and leave it to naturally dry, or spray it on to dry hair and scrunch it.


Blow Drying like Normal

Umm did I even spray this in my hair? It did nothing, nothing at all. Im beginning to wonder whether Im not meant to add any other product like heat defence to my hair when drying, maybe it effects the spray. I have  no texture, no bounce, or no definition. I think maybe because my hair is quite fine any definition gets blown out but does say 'blow dry like normal'.



Leaving hair to naturally dry

So I cheat for this slightly Im a 'lets roll out of bed and dash everywhere as I'm disorganised kinda girl', I blow dried my hair until its damp and then sprayed the product in, it did add some texture, and it gave a nice smell to my hair.



Spraying in to Dried Hair and Scrunching

I personally find this works the best for me, spray it, scrunch then put in a top knot for 10 minutes and I seem to have the desired effect. some definition, a little bounce, and texture, Don't spray to much as it does make your hair feel sticky.


Overall, I think this is good to use on dry hair and it dirtys up my hair. If I were to put my hair in a style, the spray would help create some dry texture to make my hair stay in place and it does give some definition within the style. However I don't feel like I've spent a day at the seaside. Im torn as to whether I would buy this again, as it didn't really do much when I blow dried my hair but did fairly well when my hair was dry, it didn't give me the 'beach waves' I'd imagined but it did add texture  definition. Out of the many Sea Salt sprays I have tried this one has been the best one.


Are there any sea salt sprays which you love and swear by? If so please let me know!

Holiday Outfits Part 1

Holiday look books. Do people even like these? For those of you who dont know I took a late holiday to Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt to catch some rays! I wouldn't say this was a complete look book because I didn't document every single item of clothing I wore. But I do have a handful of outfits which I loved wearing and putting together. This will probably feature over 2 or 3 posts just so it isn't a heavy read!  First Up ....Swimwear!! The bikini. Yes it's similar to the Triangl bikinis which rocked my Instagram newsfeed for the majority of last summer, I think the colour and style is fun and laid back. This bikini came from Missguided and in terms of fit I was really surprised. Normally I struggle with sizing and I very apprehensively bought a size 10, normally the top part is far to small for me. But a massive thumbs up to Missguided and myself for fitting into the bikini top perfectly! There was also a gorgeous baby blue and peach bikini identical to this which I

M&S Autograph Gel Eyeliner

As I'm sure you're all aware gel eyeliner has been sat on all the aisles of drug stores for a few years now, some people love it, while others just don't get along with it. I personally love it... sometimes, I have a habit of not putting the lid back on the bloody things, which leads to them drying out and being completely useless and I've tried the youtube tricks to get my gel liners back to their original gel state and it just doesn't turn out the same as before. I've tried Revlon (meh) and Maybelline (okay), and faced up to the fact that I'm not at all responsible for a higher end gel liner like Mac or Bobbi Brown as I'd just forget to put the lid back on thus ruining them forever! However on one occasion I got bored of my mum looking at the home wear section in M&S and took myself off to their make up stand, and what did I come across? Autographs Ultimate Wear Gel eyeliner. I thought I'm in need of a new Eyeliner why not try this?!
