Dry shampoo is quite the versatile hair aid when you need to de-grease, boost volume and add fragrance to stale hair.
We've ALL been there once in a while---oily, dirty, messy tresses. And NOT much time to primp.
We have tried tons of dry shampoo sprays, and NOW, we have found another WINNER:
Dove Refresh + Care Volume and Fullness Dry Shampoo ($3.49), at RiteAid.com.
You CAN'T beat that rock-bottom price!
The scent isn't bad. Reminds us a bit like a fragrant dry-cleaner's scent, if that is even possible to imagine.
This dry shampoo give LOTS of body + boost.
Dry shampoos are great to have on hand and can help EXTEND the life of your blow-out.
We have dark brown, almost black locks, and sometimes we notice the spray will leave behind a little white residue, but your hair dryer can make it disappear pronto.

Heidi Klum Wraps Up In Gray Duster, Arriving At LAX
Airport style.
Some women have it, and some do not. And let's face it, we really are looking for casual comfort when traveling in the friendly skies.
Project Runway's Heidi Klum is a veteran supermodel, and she understands about the perfect traveling ensemble.
Here she is, Wednesday, arriving home in L.A., following a solo business trip.
Heidi looks casually-chic.
We LOVE Heidi's comfy ripped jeans, white tee, sneakers, large patterned tote bag and big gray duster. That kind of coat is warm + versatile and looks great dressed down or dressed up. The length is midi + ideal for fall/winter.
Heidi's simple bun + classic aviators give the supermodel a polished, chic look.
To COPY Heidi Klum's airport style, check out gorgeous dusters like this one--- from the UK's Boohoo.com. It's called the Kate Belted Shawl Collar Coat ($35).
Use the PROMO CODE CYBER60 + get 60% off the COAT!
Super fashion budget buy!

Does Daily Sunscreen Go On Before Or After Moisturizer?
Sunscreen.
You're SUPPOSED to wear it daily, especially on the vulnerable face, neck + decolletage.
But if you also like applying moisturizer, too.......
Which one goes on first--------the sunscreen or the moisturizer?
According to the skin care experts, it depends what ingredients are in your sunscreen, to begin with.
I did some beauty research, and found this great advice from beautifulwithbrains.
CHEMICAL SUNSCREENS......(ie those that contain chemical UV filters like avobenzone, mexoryl, oxybenzone, and octocrylene, to name a few) should be applied BEFORE you put on your moisturizer.
PHYSICAL SUNSCREENS......(contain minerals titanium dioxide and zinc oxide). That means these sunscreens DON'T have to be ACTIVATED, so can be applied AFTER you put on your moisturizer
My favorite FACIAL sunscreen is by MyChelle----Sun Shield Coconut SPF28, $20.
This one is worth every penny, absorbs well, is lightweight + smells really good.
Because MyChelle's contains Translucent Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide, it goes on AFTER my moisturizer. Those 2 ingredients are minerals.

Popular Texas TV News Anchor Uses "This" For the Perfect Lip Balm!
We LOVE YouTube and watching the beauty gurus give some fab tips + tricks for great-looking skin, hair, makeup and more.
We started subscribing to Dominique Sachse. She is a stunning TV news anchor for Houston's KPRC Local 2. See more about her here.
We like Dominique's down-to-earth attitude about life and beauty.
We also like her take on the ultimate lip balm.
Dominique discovered this one once while breast-feeding. The product is known as Lansinoh HPA lanolin cream. We found a tube for $9 at Target.
Yes....It's a cream that soothes, heals and protects sore, cracked nipples.
Dominique applies it EVERY night at bedtime---- NOT there, but on her LIPS, and it is the most amazing lip balm, too.
The cream is 100% natural, containing no preservatives.
It's SAFE for Mom + Baby.
That also means, it can be applied to the lips without any worries.
This is a super beauty tip and two-fold, for those also breast-feeding and wanting softer, smoother lips.
Click on Dominique's YouTube channel here.
Bye-Bye Chapstick.

Kristen Stewart Wows In Smoky Eye With Touch Of Blue
We are LOVIN' this TRENDY smoky eye. And it doesn't appear difficult to create yourself.
Kristen Stewart is showing off the eye shadow look here. Now examine closer, her inner eyes, right by the tear ducts:
We think her eyes look beautiful with just a HINT of blue carefully applied around the tear ducts.
We saw the beauty trend at People.com.
Sometimes, you want to try new makeup looks but don't want to go too bold or too trendy, but we think this adds just the perfect blue touch that enhances Kristen's otherwise, black smoky eye.
"I thought it would be a fun twist on a smoky eye to concentrate a color around the tear duct,” explains Stewart’s makeup artist Beau Nelson, who advises that “when anchored over black, a bright color creates a jewel-like effect that's easier to wear than that color alone."
To COPY the look, we suggest a liquid liner in Lancome's LE STYLO WATERPROOF - Long Lasting Eyeliner, Sapphire Blue ($27, at Sephora).
