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?

I think we've all committed "crimes of beauty" at one point or another. Not that any of these so-called faux pas hair and makeup missteps were wrong or anything — but perhaps they could have been approached in a slightly different way, that's all. So, tell me: What was your biggest blip on the beauty radar screen?

Hardly anyone I know says that she felt beautiful growing up. (Even supermodels say they felt gawky as children.) I was a confident kid in school and friendships, but I won't lie: The schoolyard taunts of "Bucky Beaver" made me feel insecure about my teeth for years.

Even though I've just returned from Spring 2009 Fashion Week, when it comes to beauty trends, I'm currently looking a little bit more into the near future. I'm all for planning ahead, but first I need to make a few purchases to update my cosmetics bag for Fall 2008.
