Fall

Yes, your local drugstore contains some of the coolest hair accessories to be used this Fall/Winter!  Many of my readers undoubtedly use Goody hair accessories already.  Perhaps without even realizing!  I know I swear by my Goody hair-clips to section hair while drying it straight, or to quickly twist it up off of my neck. 

Goody has released a new collection of hair accessories for this season.  Named "Haute Society", the new collection contains headbands with of-the-moment designs that make Goody a fantastic choice for inexpensive accessorizing.  Headbands ranging from stick-thin to extremely thick (image at left) are available, to suit a wide range of hair types.  I’m loving both the pin-striped and tweed headbands.  Goody even offers a sash headband that has a "Wonder Years" chic to it.  Best part?  The most expensive piece in the collection is only $6.99.  This is style anyone can afford.  Head over to Goody to check out the Haute Society collection, or head over to your local Target to see them in person!   

We all look forward to the holiday season.  Relaxing, quality time with friends and family.  Leisurely days of gift-shopping and eggnog sipping.  Everyone is just a bit nicer to each other and…. wait a minute.  What am I talking about?  As much as the holiday I described is precisely what we all fantasize about, it is generally not what we get.  The holiday season is crazy, hectic and stressful to many. 

Not to totally "Scrooge" out on you, but I have even worse news.  If you haven’t booked your appointment at the salon yet, you may be out of luck.  Everyone wants to look their best for those holiday parties and photos, so salons are booked solid.

That’s where Frederic Fekkai Hi-Lights Hair Mascara comes to the rescue.  While this mascara-style highlight applicator is intended to get the look of stunning highlights with no commitment, it can also serve as a fantastic touch-up for roots that may be looking just a tad dark to be holiday-ready.

I sampled Hi-Lights Hair Mascara in Cognac, and was surprised by how closely it resembled the look of real highlights.  The solution doesn’t leave hair stiff, and dries fast (so running fingers through the hair won’t give you a handful of bronze product).  I also wore it to sleep.  No color on my pillowcases!  It rinsed out easily the next day.

Frederic Fekkai Hi-Lights Hair Mascara is available in Gold (for blonde to light brown hair) and Cognac (for medium brown to black hair).  This product retails for $20 at Sephora, Beauty.com and Nordstrom.
