  Tried & Tested…Mini Hairsprays

Need a spray that’s neat enough to fit into your handbag? See what readers thought of these -

Salon Selectives Flexihold 20 Ultra Hold.

Good value for money as a little went a long way, but hair did feel slightly stiff.

Around £1.45
L'Oreal Infinium Finishing Spray Fantastic smell and brushed out really easily but didn't hold for more than an houre or two.

Around £2.00


Pantene Pro V Flexible Firm Hairspray

Very good hold, with shine and without stiffness. Hair felt soft and smooth for a whole evening with no trace of stickyness.

Around £1.50


Schwarzkopf Supersoft Final Touch Spray

Good, firm hold with a natural feel. Gave the hair a nice shine too.

Around £1.50


Paul Mitchell Freeze and Shine

The spray itself was very fine but the hold was really good. Hair stayed put all evening.

Around £2.50


Top Tip

If you want high performance from your make-up then start with the best base that you can. Whilst cheaper lipsticks or eyeshadows may be okay, your make-up will never look right if you don’t use a good foundation. Invest in a good product from one of the big-name house such as Estee Lauder or Christian Dior. Apart from getting a quality product, you are bound to get the best advice as to colour and suitability from personal service. The beauty representative will always allow you to try the product on your face as opposed to the back of your hand (never a true guide), and will suggest which product will suit your skin type. My young niece swears by Estee Lauders Double Wear Stay-In-Place Foundation, which is oil-free and semi-matte. I, on the other hand, being somewhat maturer, prefer Estee's Lucidity Base, which has a lovely texture and is wonderfully light and reflective. Both priced around £20 - not cheap, but definitely cheerful!

Top Tip
If you find the smell of your perfume isnt lasting long, try putting a layer of non-perfumed body lotion on all the places you intend to spray before doing so. Perfume clings to skins natural oils - perfume will cling to the body lotion making the smell last longer.
Boost Your Energy

Walking is cheap! Blow away your cobwebs with a brisk walk. A brisk walk over hilly ground (in good shoes, please) burns off 30% more calories than an average walking pace. Hill walking tones your legs and rear end too! When you walk fast and put lots of energy into the steps you can use up as many calories as if you were running but without putting as much stress as knee joints.
When your spirits are flagging give yourself a boost by gently breathing in the smell of Crabtree & Evelyn Restoration Aromatic Smelling Salts.
The combination of cedar, tangy grapefruit and frankincense will help revitalize your mood and give you an instant lift.
