Way-Easy Hairstyles
Glam Ponies
Yes! Your everyday fave gets a li’l dress up this autumn. We’re sooo into stylish ponies. Pull one up high on your head, curl the ends and go for serious retro glamour. Check out more hair dos and don’ts.
A Decked-Out ’Do
By the time summer ends (sigh), your elastics are inevitably stretched out and last year’s accessories are feelin’ a li’l blah. Hit Target or Claire’s to buy some new, colorful hair ties and a couple cute headbands. You’ll appreciate them when you’re having an “OMG what will I do with this mop?” day. More quick steps for amazing first day hair.
Magic Tricks
Our latest time-saver beauty obsession? The amazing and totally Organic Hair Changer from Giovanni, which, depending on your hair type, miraculously straightens out waves or defines curls. Go easily from one to the other by applying to towel-dried hair and blowdrying for straight tresses, or scrunching in to seal curls. Need more speedy tricks? We got ya covered. Get Glowing Skin
Totally Tinted
If your skin just needs a flash of flawlessness (not full-on makeup coverage), it’s all about the tinted moisturizer. You’ll even out your skin tone and provide critical SPF. Spy the rest of our moisturizing tips.
Stop Shine
When the first day rolls around, the temps are often hotter-than-hot. Keep your skin shine-free with a mattifying moisturizer. It’ll zap excess oil. You wanna shine in the classroom—not on your forehead. Don’t miss our other first day beauty musts.
Must-Have Makeup
Petite Perfume
Teeny, tiny roller perfumes are our fave at the moment (which means you can nab a sweet smell for practically pennies). Stow this floral one in your locker and freshen up after gym class. Want more beauty finds to stash in your locker?
Perfect Mani
Vibrant violet nail polish was one of our most-beloved hues for summer. Truth is, this hue is versatile enough to sport in early autumn as well. Once the temps get really chilly, swap it out for a deeper, stormier shade. Get the rest of our pretty-in-purple tips.
