Midweek Beauty: Bumble & Bumble Hair Powder

I have recently become obsessed with dry cleansing my hair. I've never been the type of girl to wash her hair everyday... heck, I'll admit that I'm an every other day kinda girl (and sometimes a day more). My hair is fine and straight as bone, washing it too much takes it from shiny and soft to straw way too fast. However, during the summertime, this every other day routine can get a little, um, sticky. Let's be real, even if you are an everyday type of girl, busy schedules and summertime heat can make you yearn for a quick freshen up when one isn't available.
Bumble & Bumble Hair Powder has come to my summertime rescue, and I know it can do the same for you. I'll concede that hair powder may conjure up images of old ladies in wigs, but I promise you the hair powder I am talking about will leave your hair more Gisele Bundchen than Marie Antoinette. This stuff will make your hair look clean and fabulous with extra volume and shine... even better than had you washed it that very day. Just hold the can 10 inches from your hair, spray thoroughly concentrating on oily areas, let dry and brush out. What's more, it can be used on clean hair to tint (comes in blonde, red, brown, white and black) and style (although you'll have to apply a styling wax first to get it to stick). So easy! And faster than wash, condition, blow dry, straighten, etc, etc. What are you waiting for?! Perhaps this will make you more like Marie Antoinette... you can have your cake and eat it too.

Yup, it's that time of year again. The dreaded first day of school is fast approaching. And what better way to soften the blow of having to kiss your summer freedom goodbye than makeup shopping? After all, three-ring binders and dorm room decor aren't the only things you need to stock up on when it comes to preparing to hit the books again. In order to really be ready for the semester ahead (and treat yourself in the process), you ought to look at some portable locker loot that you can keep on-hand for mid-day makeup emergencies and touch-ups during passing periods. For example, imagine how much sweeter the day would be if you could stop by your locker for a quick spritz of your favorite fragrance or a swipe of blush to add some color to your just-saw-your-test-grade ghostly complexion! Even if you're way past your locker days, check out the slideshow for some handy to-go products you can keep in your schoolbag, desk, or car for the long and studious days ahead!
