Keratin PerfectPass Titanium Speed Styler

Img-thing
Even if you’re just dropping off your kids at the bus stop, you still want to look semi-decent. The Keratin PerfectPass Extra-Long Titanium Speed Styler makes styling fast and easy. It boasts 5” long and 1’ wide plates, which are perfect for smooth flyaways—and bedhead. Even cooler, hair holds its smoothness and style longer, thanks to a cutting-edge MCH technology that heats hair evenly from the inside out to prevent damage ($199, sephora.com).

CELEBRITY kids fashion: CastCoverz

Castcoverz
One of the breaks (no pun intended) of having a child participate in sports is a fracture, or worse, a broken bone. But an ugly cast does not a fashion accessory make. That's why we love CastCoverz, a fun, fashionable cover for your cast. Available in prints such as cupcake to paisley to a skull and crossbones, simply slip it over your cast for an instant cool factor. After all, having your classmates sign your cast is sooo last year (starting at $16.99, castcoverz.com).

CELEBRITY beauty: Dove Nourishing Oil Care

Dove-3p3FLoz-Serum-NourishingOilCare
Winter time can wreak havoc on hair.

And while most people equate frizzy hair with summer, frizz is a year-round equally opportunist. Dove Nutritive Therapy Nourishing Oil Care Antifrizz Serum has an ultra-light nourishing formula that controls frizz and boosts shine. With Weightless Nutri-Oils, it smoothes the uplifted cuticles that cause frizz. The Nourishing Oil deeply treats hair without feeling greasy so it’s easier to manage and style.

And we love Dove because the company is committed to building positive self-esteem and inspiring all women and girls to reach their full potential – but we need your help. Each time you buy Dove, the company helps provide inspiring self-esteem programming for girls ($11.99, dove.com).

CELEBRITY BEAUTY: OPI Muppets Nail Polish

Rainbow-ConnectionWhen you’re in the movie theater this holiday season with the kiddos watching The Muppets, consider Muppetizing your nails, too. And now you can. Inspired by the film The Muppets, fabu nail polish line OPI has launched twelve limited-edition Nail Lacquers for Holiday 2011. OPI is so excited to work with Disney to celebrate this long-awaited movie release,” said Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director.  “Not only do The Muppets characters inspire fun, bright and joyful colors, the fashionable Miss Piggy lends her name to three high-shine pink-based hues, ranging from bold red flecked with silver to a multi-dimensional strawberry shade.”

This line features six shimmery reds and neutrals, as well as six glitter-packed shades. At left is (sigh) “Rainbow Connection.” The colors are fantastic, fun, perfect for the holiday season—and inspiring childhood nostalgia everywhere ($8.50).
