    • Try on Two Hair Style Trends Straight from the Runways

      By DailyCandy | Beauty on Shine – Wed, May 16, 2012 2:06 PM EDT

      Finger Waves
      Faux Finger Waves at Mark Fast

      The flapper do is making a comeback. But this time, it's tousled and relaxed enough for everyday wear. By creating a pinned-up bob, even those with long hair can rock the look.

      Finger wave hair tools


      Get the Look: Faux Finger Waves

      Step 1: Make a deep side part and spritz your whole head with spray starch. Use a deep-wave or medium-barrel curling iron to create loose waves all over.

      Step 2: Finger-comb all the waves except for those in front (they should remain sleek and close to your forehead). If you have long hair and want to create a faux bob, twist your longer layers into a low bun about two inches below the nape of your neck. Roll the bun under and upward, and secure it beneath the shorter layers with pins.

      L'Oréal Paris Youth Code Serum CorrectorL'Oréal Paris Youth Code Serum Corrector












      Apply the dark spot-correcting and illuminating lotionlike serum before your regular moisturizer. It's lightly scented, which made us worry about breakouts, but we awoke after the first night's use with smoother and softer skin. Two weeks later, old acne marks had faded.

      Available at lorealparisusa.com, $25.


      Fresh Umbrian Clay Mattifying SerumFresh Umbrian Clay Mattifying Serum













      Matte need not mean dull, as production coordinator Jillian King learned with the mineral-dense complex that smells of cucumbers. It neutralizes acidity for a smoother complexion that needs barely a puff of powder after two weeks of use.

    • DIY Tribal-Inspired Sandals

      By DailyCandy | Fashion – Wed, May 2, 2012 3:21 PM EDT

      DIY footwear conjures images of postpedicure paper flip-flops and plastic bags taped over shoes in the rain. To elevate the idea, we turned to I Spy DIY's Jenni Radosevich. We gave her a pair of $17 H&M sandals and told her to make them special for less than $20. The result: seriously cute, tribal-inspired kicks that took about 45 minutes, start to finish, to doll up. All you need is colorful string, glue, scissors, and a can-do attitude. Just kidding - you don't even need a can-do attitude (it's that easy). Her trick can also be applied - literally - to belts, bracelets, hair bands, you name it.

      When you get to the desired width of your first section, switch thread by tying it to the first color, making sure that the knot will go behind the
