After GiggleSugar read about the new Morbid Makeup trend, she looked over at me, shrugged and said, "Of course my signature L'Oreal Shine Délice Lipstick in Sheer Black Cherry has been discontinued now that deep reds, purples and maroons are officially back in style".

Poor Giggle! Although she was smart enough to stock up, she had to toss a few tubes once she realized how old they were. It stinks when your favorite product gets the kibosh, but before you go blasting Beyonce's Irreplaceable tune, I've done my best to match her L'Oreal shade with lipsticks that are still in production. I've got to get my girl giggling again! To check them out, read more

Recently we heard that Kate was being considered for a new campaign for L’Oréal and now it's been confirmed. Kate flew to Paris this week to attend a dinner where it was announced that she is the new face of Trésor, the fragrance from L’Oréal's Lancôme Paris. Too bad we have to wait until September to see what we believe will be a classy beautiful campaign.

In my opinion, Kate Winslet is one of the most beautiful and radiant women in Hollywood, so I hope this news turns out to be true. According to Women's Wear Daily, reports are circulating that L'Oréal may tap Kate Winslet as the face of one of its brands.

The Parisian beauty company is rumored to be in discussions with the actress about appearing in one of L'Oréal's advertising campaigns. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment.

Winslet has such flawless skin and great hair, it's hard to know what type of product she might end up modeling for. What do you guys think?

Over in the Beauty Product Junkies group on TeamSugar, the members have been posting step-by-step breakdowns of their daily makeup routines, complete with before and after photos. What brave souls!

I absolutely love this idea, so I've asked several users if I can post their routines here. I also invite you to join the group and post your own routines. Who knows? You might just end up featured on BellaSugar too!

Today's makeup routine comes from CocoChic, who shared her tips for a simple but polished daytime look. (Her nighttime look, she admits, would be much more complicated.) To see her step-by-step routine, read more

Coca Cola isn't exactly a brand known for healthy drinks. But that may change as of 2008, when the multi-billion dollar company and the popular makeup line, L'Oreal are expected to launch their tea-based skin care drink called Lumae. Come 2008, don't go searching for the drink in the aisles of 7-Eleven or Trader Joe's, as it's rumored that it will only be sold in department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue. Lumae will be aimed at "active, influential, image-conscious women over the age of 25 who embrace health and wellness."

I absolutely love my Coca Cola but I don't know if I believe that Lumae will give me beautiful skin. Are you a believer?

Since you guys have loved Parts I and II of my New Mascara Mania series, I've decided to bring you Mascara Mania, Part III: Drugstore Brands, in response to several reader requests for the best budget options. Here's a list of my favorites from both old and new products.

Physicians Formula F.L.A.T. Fabulously Long And Thick Mascara is the ultimate full-coverage mascara. Its customized brush has both long and short bristles to really grab hold of every lash for maximum results. It even has a handy mirror built right into the back of the shaft! Buy it here for $6.95.

How could any drugstore mascara post overlook L'Oreal's trusty line? My favorite happens to be the oldie-but-goodie,L'Oreal Voluminous Original Volume Building Mascara. This original formula really lengthens and thickens, separating each and every lash. Plus, it won't clump, flake or cake, and it also keeps your lashes soft. Buy it here for $6.99.

If you're in need of a morning pick-me-up—perhaps after a night of too much drinking or too little sleep—a tingly, cool face scrub can be a great way to wake yourself up and rejuvenate your skin at the same time. Here are my favorite cool and refreshing finds.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Foaming Scrub, $6.99, available here. Heavy-duty microbeads add oomph to this scrub, which actually feels cold on contact.

Origins Mint Wash, $17.50, available here. This spearmint-scented liquid gel gets foamy as you massage it in.

Two more, so read more
