In an effort to tame my curls, I’ve tried every leave-in product on the market. But nothing gave me the soft, bouncy coils I so longed for. I decided to follow-up on a tip from a friend and try Curls Milkshake, a light styling cream that’s part of a full product line (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) designed specifically for curly hair. After one application, my curls were full and manageable without feeling greasy. Styling my coif had never been this easy. Looks like a few celebs got the memo too. Nia Long, Ashanti and Amerie are big fans of the company’s products. Check out the complete collection here.

A-list actresses may know how to shop for their Louboutins and Manolos, but can they design their own pair of pumps? They sure tried at Rodo’s Second Annual “Every Girl’s Dream” event, a unique opportunity for celebrity guests to create a couture RODO shoe while giving back. Designers for the day included actresses such as Becki Newton, Melissa George, Ana Ortiz, Rachael Leigh Cook, Lisa Edelstein, Natasha Henstridge, Maggie Grace, Dania Ramirez and Perry Reeves. The stars chose from over a dozen different styles to design using actual Rodo fabrics, colors, gem stones — even chosing the type of heel their shoe had. All shoes designed by celebrities and on their behalf will be judged come December, and the most creative shoe will make it into production with the net proceeds from the sales of this couture shoe donated to the celebrity’s charity of choice. What could be better than gorgeous shoes and doing good?
