OK, fess up already. We know you like looking at good, bad and ugly photos of celebrities -- so do we. And since makeovers seem to get all the love, we decided to put together a gallery of the best celebrity makeunders. Scroll down to see the toned-down transformations of these gals with less makeup and hair that's not overdone. Don't they all look WAY better? We think they do.

I feel particularly perky today. Perhaps it's because that second cup of Joe just hit my blood stream. Or maybe it's because when I walked into work this morning, I felt a cool breeze hit my face and whip back through my hair as if to subtly remind me that fall has finally arrived in all its I-get-to-wear-red-lipstick-again glory. (Make sure you're starting to transition your makeup from summer to fall like a pro.)

There's really nothing better than having healing hands all over on your body and lovely-smelling lotions and potions massaged into your skin, coupled with a coma-inducing ambiance, right? And when you're stressed, being pampered can feel like a lifesaver (in fact, some health and beauty treatments might actually save your life). Unfortunately, we don't always put ourselves, or our health & beauty first; especially since spa treatments don't often come cheap.

Something weird happened last night. I was watching the MTV Video Music Awards with a girlfriend of mine, and as the B-list celebrities (sorry, but you know it's true) strutted down the "white" carpet, I turned to her and actually asked "what is wrong with the kids these days?!"

I was personally rocked to my I-think-I'm-hip core by such a grandma moment, but I just couldn't contain it. Yes, I am fully aware that this particular awards show is not ordained by any sort of "academy" and is therefore, more the kind of place for Britney to strip or Kanye to have a meltdown, but isn't there room for a little bit of class?

Sure, celebs don’t play it safe like they do at the Oscars, but what on earth was with all of the orange tans? Reality TV stars Nicole Polizzi and Audrina Patridge (seen below) were both literally neon orange.

The Scenario: You're in a friend's wedding tomorrow and realize the fugly bridesmaid dress you’ve been ordered to wear is short and your legs are ... pasty. So you bust out your self-tanner, slather it on and wait for your bronze-y faux glow to appear. But hours pass and you realize that you're a streaky hot mess. (Clearly you never watched this video on perfecting self-tanner application.)

You: Hello?

I was half listening to NPR on my commute home from work yesterday. Then, my interest was piqued when I heard the word "soap" -- as a beauty editor, I'm like Pavlov's dog when I hear anything related to beauty products (a tad pathetic, I know). Anyhoo, here's what caught my attention … Monterey County officials say about 166 inmates are on a hunger strike because of a new policy that limits their toiletries to one bottle of shampoo, one tube of toothpaste and one bar of soap per week (now they really better not drop it … badum-ching).

We've been prepping you for the new season with our Fall Beauty Guide for the last couple of weeks, but now that Labor Day has come and gone and all linen clothing at the GAP is officially 70 percent off, there's no more denying that summer is O.V.E.R. Gentle nudging will no longer suffice so I'll be blunt and say, "Ladies, grab that nail polish remover and get those nails in order."

Summer is coming to a screeching halt (cue sound effect), but that doesn't mean you should necessarily stow your sunscreen in the back of your medicine cabinet. If you think you only need the 'screen when you're beach- or pool- bound -- you might be the victim of one of these sunscreen mistakes. Read the following skin care tips from expert dermatologists Dr. Linda Evans and Dr. Debra Jailman to find out how not to be a repeat offender of sunscreen slip-ups:

Dear Celebrity,

Congratulations. You're rich. You're famous. You probably have a super hot boyfriend/husband/lover. Good for you.
