Daily Style: Over Under Headband

While I love the simple, strappy headbands that are all the rage right now, sometimes the occasion calls for something more.

I’m loving this version, ever as delicate as its counterparts but dressed up with a fancy braid and sparkling cotton.

Available from Anthropologie in Silver (shown), Gold, Pink, Blue and Orange for $32 each.

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray

Everyone has heard that spritzing your face with a few pumps of hair spray before a big night out is a foolproof way to keep your makeup looking great into the wee hours of the night, but really, who wants to do that?

I think I’ll skip misting my skin with alcohol-based, sticky hair spray (not to mention the taste that will linger on my lips all night–yuck!) and instead opt for All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray.

I have high hopes for this one from Urban Decay: it’s allergy tested, dermatologist tested, and free of oil, parabens and fragrance. Plus, this just seems like an entirely appropriate product for Urban Decay, no?

Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray is available from Sephora for $29.

Bumble and bumble Mending Masque

Bb’s Crème de Coco masque tops my list of favorites, so I was intrigued to hear about the brand’s newest line, Mending (Crème de Coco used to be their go-to line for dry, damaged hair). I’m dying to see if the Mending Masque measures up to the nourishing, shine-imparting formula of Crème de Coco.

Bumble and bumble Mending Masque is available from Bumble and bumble for $36.
