A few weeks ago, at Target, I found the craziest-looking hair product: the Goody Spin Pin.
What is it?
Basically, the two spin pins take the job of a dozen bobby pins in securing a bun. Because of the spiraled shape, they grab onto all kinds of layers of hair and help hold the bun in place [...]

A few months ago, I heard Dollar General was carrying e.l.f. products. I kid you not when I say I immediately went to a local DG to scope it out. I had been dying to try this inexpensive line of makeup and beauty tools but wanted to see it in person first.

I’ve lectured written on the importance of adding make-up brushes to your beauty regimen before.
Good brushes are essential to good makeup application. It’s that simple. If you want to get the job done right, you’ve got to have the right tools.
But, I’m also a realist. I realize some of you may have had every intention [...]

Back when I had long hair, I would always find myself “hairtie-less” at the most inopportune moments. I was always searching the house, the car, and the dark corners of my purse for a “pony tail holder.”
