Your monthly inventory of all things beauty is back, complete with DIY facelifts, insect-inspired hair and sinful new makeup collections. What made the list? Read on to find out!

MAC is pitting comic book frenemies Betty and Veronica against one another as part of the brand's collaboration with Archie Comics, slated for spring 2013. MAC wants fans to text either "Betty" or "Veronica" to 898622 to vote for which character should "win Archie's heart."

Here’s a blossoming trend: models wore flowers in their hair at Chanel, Zuhair Mourad and more of the recent fall couture shows.

Guerlain’s fall Rouge G L’Extrait lip color lineup features bullets named after the Seven Deadly Sins: Avarice (beige for greed), Colere (red for wrath), Luxure (brown for lust), Envie (orange for envy), Paresse (pink for sloth), Orgueil (plum for pride) and Gourmandise (raspberry for gluttony).

Who needs cosmetic surgery? Good Morning America recently featured the Facelift Bungee, an elastic that clips onto hair to pull facial skin taut. We’re getting a tight ponytail headache just thinking about it. 

Kiehl’s newest SPF features an interesting ingredient: Einkorn wheat, one of the earliest (approx. 7500 BC) cultivated forms of wheat, which is known to “stimulate skin’s natural antioxidant defenses.” Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Activated Sun Protector Sunscreen – Broad Spectrum SPF 50 also features free-radical fighting goji berry and vitamin C for an antioxidant triple whammy.

More from couture: at Giambattista Valli and Jean Paul Gaultier, models wore netted veils over their foreheads and faces. That’s going to leave a mark.

Your chance to scoop up Maybelline’s limited-edition colored Great Lash mascaras is almost up: the green-, blue-, teal- and purple-tinted tubes are only available in drugstores through the month of August. 

Liverpool, England is about to become a global beauty destination: This fall, UK department store Harvey Nichols is set to open its first freestanding Beauty Bazaar in the city. The three-floor, 22,000 square foot space will feature products from Chanel, YSL, Tom Ford, Nars, MAC and tons more brands, plus a hair salon, a brow bar, a lash and nail bar, waxing, spray tanning, medispa services, pharmacy exclusives and even a champagne and cocktail bar. When can we move in?

Inspired by all those buff Olympic rowers? Then you'll want to paddle on over to ShockWave, one of Equinox's newest classes that uses the Indo-row (indoor rowing machine) to torch flab. Apparently, the rowing machine burns more calories in less time than the treadmill, elliptical or bike, giving you the biggest cardio bang for your buck. Who knew? 

It’s pretty much unheard of these days to be a celebrity and not have a fragrance. Jon Bon Jovi is the latest to announce a scent deal as a partnership with Avon. His Unplugged fragrance, which comes in both men’s and women’s versions, launches this fall.

We’ve heard of “satin” finish lip color before, but gold lamé? That’s a new one. We spotted the look on this model at On Aura Tout Vu’s Paris couture show.

The runway hair at Alex Mabile's couture show in Paris strikingly resembled a scorpion's curved tail, also known as a metasoma.

This summer, the tiny, tight topknot has become our favorite form of beauty air conditioning.

From patriotic nail art to gymnastics team scrunchies and track and field facepaint, this year’s Summer Olympics had plenty of notable beauty moments. We’re just glad that (most) people have finally stopped criticizing gymnast Gabby Douglas’ hair.

We used to think eyeshadow in pinks and reds was a good way to look tired and strung out, but the colors are really starting to grow on us. Not only is this makeup from Zuhair Murad’s runway simply gorgeous, celebrities like Julianne Moore are successfully pulling off the look.

Illamasqua has just launched a limited-edition lineup of six Rubber-Finish Nail Varnishes. The bright shades are inspired by 1920s Berlin "boot girls," dominatrixes whose color-coded footwear advertised their specialties.

Press release of the summer goes to Dr. Oliver Zong, Surgical Director of NYC FootCare in Manhattan, who has coined the term "toebesity." If your little piggies are looking, well, a little piggy, Dr. Zong offers "toe-tucking” cosmetic surgery. “In this day and age where surgical options are available for everything, I like to say that we can create Designer feet for Designer shoes,” says the surgeon. Um, are we being Punk'd?

On the runway at Jantaminiau’s recent couture show, models sported eye makeup that reminded us of sunglasses.

In need of raccoon repellent? Apparently the Hannah Montana fragrance does the trick. Our friends over at StyleBistro discovered this YouTube video in which a bearded beauty guru tests the scent on his pet ‘coon.

Goodbye, bad hair days. This couture dress from Yiqing Yin features a built-in umbrella.

Holiday makeup idea? Dior’s couture girls paired green eye shadow with a bright red lip.

While fashion folks are getting worked up over artist Yayoi Kusama’s polka-dotted Louis Vuitton collab, we can’t keep our eyes off her bright red bob.

Couturier Didit Hediprasetyo took runway beauty to another level recently by requiring models to don creepy colored contacts.
