A friend and I were discussing the new vibrating mascaras yesterday, when she mentioned buying a heated lash curler for $30. Petrified to put something hot and moving near her eye, she still harbors regrets about plunking down her hard-earned cash on something so useless (to her). Of course, I can always chalk it up as "research" - but have you suffered beauty buyer's remorse?

As you may know, October is officially Breast Cancer Awareness (BCA) month. That means it's time to think pink. All sorts of beauty companies typically include some variation of pink products and/or packaging in observance of this devastating disease, usually donating a percentage of the profits to support the cause. Do you purchase BCAM products? If so — or if not — tell me about it.
Last night, my best friend's boyfriend started telling me how his eyes always feel itchy and puffy. Immediately, I found myself rattling off a prescription for products that might work until his insurance kicks in: hypoallergenic pillow liners, Yes to Carrots Cucumber Eye Gel, Rohto V Cooling Eye Drops.
When a bachelor has face scrub and some Persa-Gel, I'm impressed, yet by the time I am done with him, he's a Kiehl's devotee and has used up all my Mario Badescu Drying Lotion.
Do you recommend products to the man (or men) in your life? And tell me in the comments if they listen.
No, this isn't a gothy piece of art from my high school days. (Although, come to think of it, this is the season of black lipstick.) What you're looking at is a Kate Moss original. A few years ago, the supermodel created this drawing by using lipstick as her medium, along with a bit of Pete Doherty's blood to write: "Who needs blood when you've got lipstick?"
The drawing recently sold to a private buyer for 33,600 British pounds — a whopping $61,850. While I'm more interested in Kate's priceless makeup secrets, someone out there's certainly a collector. Personally, I'm a bit more impressed by this Gwen Stefani lipstick painting, but do you think Kate's art warranted that high of a price tag?
My friend and I used to break out the lemon juice in high school to provide a little lightening effect to our hair. Thinking back on it, I'm lucky I even had hair. Sunning with a perm, while squeezing on lemon juice? Could have been a tragic combo.
This got me to thinking about the "other" ways in which one can color his or her hair. Aside from traditional dyes, here are some alternative options that come to mind: veggies and spices (beets, carrots, rhubarb, paprika), caffeinated beverages (coffee, tea) and/or extreme methods (Kool-Aid, Jell-O, food coloring).
So tell me if you've altered your hair color a non-typical way, whether it's by using a more natural approach or through means of some wacky concoction instead?
