I am a beauty junkie and Sephora is where I get my fix. I'm sure I'm not alone in this. Whether I need a long-lasting lipstick or a smoothing cream for my wavy hair, I can always depend on Sephora to have what I need. I'll admit, not all of their products are perfect, but the goods on this list are all winners. I dare you not to try them.

Here's a little something to perk you up: Celebrities look just as bad as we do without makeup! Check out this gallery and the next time you see them looking like this on the red carpet or in a magazine, you'll know what's really going on.

I love a good bargain, but I'm often seduced by fancy packaging or a "NEW AND IMPROVED" tag. It's tough out there, but the good news is you can get quality stuff for cheap (like any of these beauty products). And, some of that cheap stuff looks way nicer than the expensive goodies. Think you can tell the difference? Challenge yourself with this quiz. I know I was shocked …

My guilty pleasure at work: taking 10 minutes a day to do online quizzes (shhh, don't tell my boss!). Do you do it too? Then you'll love these ones, not only are they fun and quick but you'll learn a thing or two. Hey, it's better than watching that Angelina Jolie YouTube video for the fifth time, right?

We're all trying to save money these days (I've been doing my own nails with help from this) and one way to do that is to skip the salon color and DIY-it up at home. But, if this is your first time with at-home hair color, or if your last foray resulted in bright yellow streaks (don't worry, you're not alone), then use these tips to get color so good people will think you maxed out your credit card at the salon.

Tattoos aren't my style (I'd rather sport this scary look than get ink). These celebrities, on the other hand, clearly don't share my feelings (or my intense fear of needles). So who's got ink? Check out these tatted-up stars.

Have you heard about the beauty brand Lumene? I don't know why, but it's a top search term on TotalBeauty.com. I mean, sure, it has some great products (like these) and you can get it at CVS, which is convenient, but it's not like it's a well-known brand like MAC (maker of these awesome products) or Neutrogena (which sells my fave bargain foundation) or something. Curious? Then check out this buying guide based on the Lumene products TotalBeauty.com readers love -- and hate.

I've found mine and the other editors have their picks too. But some of you haven't found "the one," and that makes me want to cry. Nothing opens your eyes up or gives you a polished look like a great mascara (except maybe these tips). Are you still looking for the perfect mascara? Check out this advice from TotalBeauty.com readers and start searching for your mascara match here.

Breaking hair news: Fergie has gone from wavy blonde to sleek brunette. I'll give you a moment to contemplate the impact of this on your life … good? OK, so you've absorbed the shocking news, now tell us, what do you think of her new look? Is she a celebrity hair dye "do" or "don't"?

News Flash: Red is the new blonde. (French twists are also the new headbands, but that's another story.) Don't believe me? Check out all these hot redheaded celebrities. They prove it's the shade to get you noticed. BUT, before you go crimson, listen to the advice of some hair and makeup experts, because red can be a little tricky (but totally worth it).
