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.

We have become obsessed with watching hair and makeup videos on YouTube. Why? Maybe because we like the seasick feeling we get while watching the amateur camera work (kidding, kidding). Or because we can't get over how many of them use the same eyelid primer. Weird, huh? This is the one they ALL use. Anyhoo, these are 10 videos we learned a beauty trick or two from. Prefer to watch more pro-looking how-to videos? Don't miss this one. Or this one.

These days, even Starbucks coffee seems like a luxury, so a day at the spa? Fuggedaboudit. But that doesn't mean you can't pamper yourself. All of these recipes are easy to make -- and cheap since the ingredients are already in your kitchen. Now kick back and relax already, you deserve it!
