Black Friday beauty products must haves Today is Friday, but it’s not just any old Friday.

This Friday is also known as “Black Friday”, which is also known as the first day of the Christmas shopping season.

Hair Tip Of The Day: Hair Powders

We’ve all been there before.

The shrieking alarm goes off at 7 am and you turn it off, deciding to rest your eyes for just another five minutes. Five minutes turns into a full-on hour, and suddenly, you’re scrambling into work clothes and hightailing it to the office sans shower.

This powder takes care of more than your mane — it also doubles as a dirty body savior, sopping up extra oils with its chamomile, calendula, Vitamin E and aloe ingredient combination. And it smells as pretty as the package looks.
