If you're looking for a new fall fragrance, you've come to the right place. The results of last week's Beauty Mark It Challenge are in, and BellaSugar readers have shared their favorite sultry, sexy scents for the Autumn ahead.
Gruaig_Rua loves Calvin Klein Euphoria. "I don't usually like perfumes this strong, but this scent is one in a million," she says. "It's so seductive, yet almost masculine." But the most-mentioned fragrance is Thierry Mugler Angel. Readers say that "nothing compares" to this "sexy," "chocolatey" scent. Check out all of the other picks here:
We've got the results of last week's Beauty Mark It challenge, and if this doesn't make you bat your eyelashes, nothing will.

Okay, so we may not all be able to have Brad on our arm like Angelina, but her plump pout is completely attainable. I asked all of you to share your favorite lip plumpers, and the results are in!
Lintilla raves about C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine. She says that even though it isn't technically a lip plumper per se, the peppermint oil in it it "tingles just enough to increase the circulation to my lips and do the job." And Tnkrbelli loves Philosophy Chicken Lips. "I always get turned off by plumping glosses because they are so sticky," she says. "But these are extremely natural-looking and natural-feeling glosses."

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It was such fun to see all of the violet, purple and lavender eye shadows you found. I know that the colors can often seem garish in their pots, but if you apply with the right makeup brush, they'll look beautiful on the eyes. Whether you choose a burst of bright color or a subtle smoky eye, violet is a great color for easing into fall.
Let's move on to your picks, shall we? There were tons of great ones, but I liked Flutterpie's suggestion, an Anna Sui shadow that can double as an eyeliner. And Sandinmytoes likes Mally Beauty City Chick Smokey Eye Kit—a great choice for brown-eyed girls. To view everyone's favorites, just browse through this widget.

Last week's Beauty Mark It challenge asked you to find cute and cool makeup bags. Boy, did you ever!

For something with retro appeal, look at Samida18's find, a Marilyn Monroe bag. To see everyone's suggestions, browse through the widget below!
Hey hey! Last week's Beauty Mark It challenge invited you to share your favorite hair dryers. Thanks to a certain naughty kitty, mine was broken—but now I have lots of replacements to research. Thanks for all of your suggestions!
Sheena loves this Chi hair dryer, which is said to be a favorite of Rachel Bilson. Plus, while this shouldn't matter, it's pink—which is delightfully girly! For some more suggestions, check out these ideas:
Hi everyone! Last week's Beauty Mark It challenge was a special request for FitSugar. You should have seen how sad she was because her favorite Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in 098 has been discontinued. But because of all of you, she's got dozens of suggestions for a clear, glittery replacement! Thank you, thank you!
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Thanks for all of your excellent suggestions for last week's Beauty Mark It challenge. You found some good ones! Before I share them, though, I want to address some of your questions about liquid liner.
Practically nobody gets liquid eyeliner right on her first try—or for that matter, her second, third or fourth try. While this product isn't impossible to master, it does take practice to get to a point where you can apply it easily. If you're a novice, start by using the liner brush on your hand; that way, you can see how different pressure works. From there, you can work on your eyes.
If you need some liquid eyeliner suggestions, read on. Erinjg says Almay liquid eyeliner is "wickedly long-lasting, yet has never irritated my contact lenses." And Jlgb4008 raves about Wet N Wild MegaLiner, saying, "It has fine-tip brush, so it's easy to apply thick or thin lines easily." Check out other readers' suggestions in this handy widget, and come back tomorrow for this week's challenge!
Last week I asked you to suggest your favorite cleansing shampoos, and you definitely found some good ones!
Marcella loves Lush's Big shampoo: "It's by far the best cleansing shampoo for people who use a ton of styling products (like me)!" I agree—this stuff lathers like crazy, smells amazing and leaves hair looking shiny and bouncy.
Then there's Rachelattack, who suggests using good old-fashioned baking soda! She says that adding a bit to a regular shampoo transforms it into a cleansing shampoo. I might have to try this.
Happy Tuesday, everyone! Last week I asked for your suggestions for gentle face scrubs, and you delivered a ton of great ideas. Thanks to everyone who contributed!
You found a slew of favorites, many of which I've never heard of. Posey and Ad2121 love Body Time Mint Scrub because it's gentle enough for sensitive skin and rosacea, while Liza0183 sticks with St. Ives Apricot Scrub. To see all of the other gentle face scrubs, just browse this handy widget!
