After hearing the praise of countless celebrity stylists and beauty editors, I recently decided to pull Oribe's Dry Texturizing Spray out from the depths of the beauty closet to see what all the fuss is about. And, after a full week of use, my only regret is that I didn't seek out his brilliant volumizer-meets-dry-shampoo-meets-hairspray sooner!

Between the full, long-lasting looks I've been able to achieve and the nonstop compliments, Dry Texturizing Spray has me hooked. Its versatile, lightweight formula instantly amplifies, lifts and texturizes fine and/or oily hair, and — perhaps best of all — dries to an invisible finish. There's not a trace of powdery residue or "crunch."

L'Oreal HIP Eyeshadow in Saucy
The lighter of the two shades acts as the perfect accent. ($7.99, Ulta.com.)
