Michelle Keegan takes inspiration from Kate Middleton with hair colour makeover
Michelle Keegan has given her hair a summer makeover, debuting a new 'toffee brunette' hair colour complete with 'gold dust' highlights that the Princess of Wales is also favouring Michelle Keegan is your go-to for summer hair colour inspo, flaunting her freshly cut and dyed hair on social media for her fans to see. The new mum, who welcomed baby Palma earlier this year, has indulged in a salon visit and showcased her updated tresses on social media. Snapping a selfie wearing retro 70s shades, Michelle writes: "Summer hair! Love it." The Fool Me Once star also expressed gratitude to her trusted hair colourist, Calum Tierney, for his magic touch on her rejuvenated locks. The snap reveals that Michelle has maintained her rich brunette roots while incorporating sun-kissed highlights to enhance the overall hue. This season's trendy 'toffee brunette' look is all about these warm, caramel-like streaks, and even Kate Middleton herself is slowly working towards this hair colour for summer after debuting her lighter look just a few weeks ago. Hershesons Belgravia's colour expert Hannah Gayle is all for the golden or caramel touches this spring. "I am obsessed with this reflective, eye-catching colour for spring and summer," she comments. "It features rich caramel colours and pops of lighter tones, making it the perfect colour for darker brunettes wanting to add lighter pieces without going the whole hog, and great for those with lighter hair, who want more dimension." We're also fully influenced by Michelle's new haircut, which perfectly complements her lighter hair. With a nod to the 70s vibe of her accessories, it seems she's taken inspiration from a young Sophia Loren, sporting voluminous layers that lend a slightly retro feel to her look. Michelle's hair styling secrets Why does her hair have such volume? It's full of secrets... and ColorWow Michelle doesn't often divulge her haircare routine, but when she does, we're all ears. The actress is a long-time fan of both Give Me Cosmetics' Argan Oil and Coconut Oil Hair Mask, £15, and Garnier's Hair Food Mask, £8.99, attributing both for helping achieve her signature sleek, healthy-looking locks. The star has also previously shared that she swears by Beauty Works' 10-in-1 Miracle Spray, £11.95, to shield her hair from heat damage, as well as the Balmain Leave-In Conditioner Spray, £33.25, to add an extra gloss. When it comes to heat styling, ghd's Chronos Max Wide Plate Hair Straighteners, £299, are her go-to. Michelle remarked at their launch: 'My new favourite straightener... with wider plates that create glass-like hair in just one pass." Harold Casey, Michelle's trusted hairstylist, has previously shared his secrets for achieving her lustrous curls and shine. His haircare arsenal includes the cult-favourite ColorWow Dreamcoat Supernatural Spray, priced at £27, and Bedhead by Tigi Head Rush, costing £14.90, both renowned for delivering a glossy finish.

I tried a £9 body mist that I like more than Sol de Janeiro's £38 classic
Give Me Cosmetics' Body Sprays Bundle works out to £9 each and smelled so good my sisters begged to borrow them from me I'm a fragrance expert with more scents in my collection than I can count, from eau de parfums and colognes to mists and hair perfumes. I've tried Sol de Janeiro's cult classic scents, and got through my bottles faster than I'm proud to admit, but I will admit that £24 for a 90ml bottle is quite expensive. I'm always on the lookout for mists that can hold up to them without hurting the purse strings quite so much so when I saw Give Me Cosmetics' Body Sprays Bundle for £36 I was optimistic. It's got four 200ml bottles inside for less than it costs to buy a single 240ml bottle of Sol de Janeiro mist. Three of the scents are inspired by Sol de Janeiro but my surprise favourite is actually inspired by a Victoria's Secret scent that only appears to be available in the US. Botanical Breeze is a blend of sweet green apple, orange and lemon with a base of green tea and coconut. I got constant compliments when I first put it on and my sisters all begged to borrow it. I can see myself reaching for it even more than my Sol de Janeiro mists. The spray I was most curious about Caramel Vacay which claims to draw inspiration from Cheirosa 62. I definitely see the inspiration but there's enough of a difference that I wouldn't say they're exactly the same. Caramel Vacay has a sweetness to it but it's more floral to me which could be seen as a good thing. I very much get the jasmine and vanilla, even the caramel but I didn't detect any of the pistachio and almond that people go wild for. Personally I lean less floral with my fragrances of choice but I think it's definitely a nice and summery option. Orchid Dreams is inspired by Cheirosa 59 which has vanilla orchid, caramel and I would say it's very true to that. It's a spray I'd lean more towards during evenings abroad than sunny days but this one smells the most like the original in my opinion. Sunset Serenity takes inspiration from Cheirosa 87 or Rio Radiance and is a lovely beachy scent. It's got mango, grapefruit, neroli and caramel and I'd say is one of the nicest available in this set. Although it's clear from my preferences that I've been drawn into Give Me Cosmetics' takes on fruity scents. From my collection of Sol de Janeiro I do most often reach for Cheirosa 62 so I would say I'm normally much more drawn to caramel and vanilla scents. They are body mists so I found myself wanting to top up fairly often but for £9 a bottle that's not something I begrudge. I think the set is fairly good value. I can see myself reaching for Botanical Breeze a lot as the weather warms up and I think these would also make lovely gifts. I have three sisters and I can very much see them insisting that they have to borrow them forever.
