Schwarzkopf got2b beach matt salt spray review

I have never had much luck with salt sprays as I have really thick hair which refuses to keep any waves/curls. But I had heard good things about this new product so just had to give it a try!

On the bottle it states the product should create a 'mermaid look - beachy waves, texturize - body - tousle'

You can spray it on to wet or dry hair to create natural beach babe waves. 
Personally I prefer to apply it to towel-dried hair. I spray is on, and the scrunch my hair to help the waves. I also apply a little hairspray to hold the waves as I have really thick hair and the waves tend to drop out really quickly! 
I then leave my hair to dry naturally. Once my hair is dry I then spray a little bit more of the slat spay, scrunch again and add more hairspray just to finish the final look.

Unlike other salt sprays, this product doesn't leave my hair feeling crunchy or stiff. 

I am really pleased that I purchased this product and gave it a try - definitely a thumbs up from me! I love the beachy look and it is so easy to create. 

Update...

So I realise I haven’t written a blog post in a while, apologies for that! I have been super busy recently but I hope to be able to blog more often in the near future.

Here’s some of the things I have been up to in the last 4 months:

Back in May, myself and my sisters ran the 'Rainbow Run' to raise money for Children's Hospice South West, a charity that cares for children with life limiting/threatening conditions and provides hospice care for them and their families. 

During the 5k race we were showered in different coloured powder paint, it was great fun!

We managed to raise over £200 for Children's Hospice South West which I am so pleased about!

Towards the end of May I was lucky enough to receive tickets to one of the Britain’s Got Talent Live Semi Finals! *Happy Dance*

I got to see some incredible acts perform and also meet some of them.

I was also lucky to be given seats in the second row, right behind the judges. 

So close to the judges and stage! Eeeeek!

During the advert breaks the judges turned around and interacted with the audience members which I loved! David Walliams and Alesha Dixon signed photos for me, my friends and I were invited to the judge’s desk by Amanda Holden and I had a stare off with Simon Cowell.

Hey there Simon Cowell...

I also had the pleasure of meeting Olly Murs and Sinitta!

Alright Olly Murs?!?

I had such an amazing time! Fingers crossed I am lucky enough to go again next year!

In June I attended the Chime For Change Concert near London. It was a global concert event which aimed to promote and raise awareness of education, health, justice for girls and women everywhere. In other words…put women’s rights in the spotlight.

The concert was part of Gucci's new global campaign for girls' and women's empowerment, and it was broadcast across six continents to over 150 countries.

Headlining the concert was the one and only Beyoncé. Her performance was incredible, had me up out of my seat dancing and singing.

Queen Bey!

Quotes from Beyoncé on the night:

'This is such an incredible night for all of us. Because of you all, we have raised more than $4 million.'

'Women's rights, it's something that has always been something close to my heart. I know now being a mother it is really important that I can do what I can and use my voice.’

'There are women around the world that don't have a voice so we have to use our voices and raise awareness and be part of something where we can leave a legacy and help improve this world.'

There were also amazing performances from Florence and the Machine, Ellie Goulding, JLo, Mary J Blige, Jessie J, Haim, Timberland, Simon Le Bon, Jay Z, Iggy Azalea, John Legend and Rita Ora.

Madonna and Ryan Reynolds were among those giving inspiring speeches.

I have recently got back from a holiday in America. We visited New York and Washington DC. I had an absolutely amazing time and I thoroughly recommend visiting both these cities.

Britain's Got Talent 2013

As you might already know, Britain's Got Talent has returned to our TV screens for another series. 

Back in January and February of this year, I was lucky enough to attend two days of the auditions. 

The first day of auditions which I attended were held at the London Palladium. I met up with friends and spent a long time standing in the cold/rain/snow queueing for our tickets and to try and catch a glimpse of the presenters and judges as they arrived. Unfortunately they were running late and we had to take our seats before any of them arrived. 

Our seats were right at the top of The Palladium and we were unable to see the judges desk unless we stood up and leaned over the edge. Luckily we were able to do this quite a lot during the auditions and were able to shout loud enough to get some waves from the judges, particularly Amanda Holden.

 There were some amazing acts auditioning that day, one of which got the whole room up dancing, including the judges! I had such a lovely day and met some great people. 

The second day of auditions which I attended were held at The ICC in Birmingham. We arrived much earlier for these auditions and were in the first 50 people in the queue so were taken to the Holding Room to be part of the filming. It was nice to be out of the snow and in the warm. We got to see interviews with some of the auditionees. 

Before the auditions started we were lucky enough to meet Amanda Holden. She looked amazing. She is one of the kindest women I have met, so down to earth, funny and just a genuinely lovely person. We were able to get her to sign things for us and grab a quick photo. I was amazing, I will never forget it.

Our seats were much better than the last time, and we had a fab view of the stage and judges. Again there were some brilliant acts and I cannot wait to see them on TV! 

Britain's Got Talent is on ITV1 on Saturdays, with Britain's Got More Talent after on ITV2.
