All right, fair is fair, so I'll share mine first:

I rarely get the house to myself, so any evening I do I go into full primp mode. I slap on a face mask and leave-in hair treatment, pluck my eyebrows and slather my hands and feet in lotion and cover them with socks. (One time my boyfriend walked in the door to find me with a bright red face, hair covered with a shower cap and socks on my hands and feet, wearing my old flannel PJs and watching "Bridget Jones' Diary" -- that was the last time he came home early without texting first.)

OK, I've shared my weirdo habits, now it's your turn: what crazy beauty stuff do you do? Make your own products? Try on ridiculous makeup looks (like these celebs)? Bleach your mustache while listening to '80s music (uh, not that I know anything about that ...)

Let me guess. As someone who's been playing around with makeup ever since you found out where your mom hid her makeup bag, you've tried every makeup trend that exists (including these trend no no's) ... and now you're looking for something new to try this spring. Right?

Well, then you're going to love these new eye makeup looks. With the help of a few celebrity makeup artists, I found seven fun things to try with your eye makeup. Each one comes with cool tips on how to re-create the look yourself, which you can find here. Check them out below -- they're all so gorgeous, you won't be able to decide which one to try first.

No. 1: Walk like an Egyptian
Michelle Trachtenberg's big eyes seem to pop even more with this winged eyeliner trick. Line both your upper and lower lash lines with black liner, then drag your liner out from the outer corner of your eye to where your eyebrow ends. The winged part should be thinner than the liner around your eye to get the cool Egyptian

And another one bites the dust (but looks gorgeous doing it): Vanessa Hudgens is the newest celeb to chop off her hair into a shoulder-length bob.

The actress seems to be having a lot of fun with her new style, at least. She tried two different looks this weekend -- a tousled bob and a straighter boho-chic bob -- and we can't decide which one is cuter. Click here to see how to get both looks.

We think Hudgens' new hair looks more mature compared to her previous style, which she was well known for. What do you think about the change?

Awhile back, we asked this question: if you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?

Perhaps the most shocking thing is that out of more than 100 responses, only one person thought they were absolutely perfect as is. So what did everyone else want to change?

• 18% (the highest response) wanted to get rid of any skin issues and have a perfectly clear complexion. Good choice, and with these skin care tips, it's actually pretty doable.
• Tied at 13% were losing weight and different hair. Seems like the curly girls want to be straight, the straight girls want to be curly, fine wants to be thick, thick wants to be thinner -- basically the grass is always greener.
• 10% wanted to change part of their facial structure -- be it a nose job, less chubby cheeks or a new chin. I'd think twice before taking the plastic surgery plunge though, this freaky story shows it may not end up like you think.
• 8% of you wanted different boobs, it was a pretty even split between

Sure, last night's episode of "American Idol" was filled with great performances, but did anyone else notice how gorgeous Jennifer Lopez looked? Her red lipstick was the perfect shade for her skin (you can find your lipstick shade match here), and I couldn't stop staring at her hair -- the perfect definition of sleek, glam waves. Definitely her best look yet, unless you think one of these hairstyles looked better on her?

Either way, J.Lo's hair was totally swoon-worthy. Here's how to copy her look:

1. Start by parting clean hair down the center. Make sure the part is perfectly straight -- you can use a bobby pin or the tail end of a rat-tail comb to create it.

2. Apply smoothing cream to damp hair and blow dry straight using a round brush. Focus on smoothing out the hair near the top of your head.

3. Now separate your hair into 2-inch sections. Wrap each section around a large barrel curling iron, and hold it in place for about 10 seconds to create loose waves.

Nowadays, tons of celebrities are seen walking their dogs out and about (this celeb even brings her pup onto the red carpet with her). But nobody seems to notice how much these celebrity dogs have in common with their owners -- they look, dress and act exactly like their owners. Don't believe me? Scroll through the gallery below to see for yourself.

What would your look-a-like dog be? A tiny, hyper Chihuahua? Or maybe a big, intimidating bulldog? Leave your pick in the comments, and vote on your favorite celebrity pair here.

Do you have a million pairs of "reject" jeans hidden in the back of your closet? You know, the ones you thought would work but just made you look stumpy, or flat-butted? Yep, me too. But not anymore.

Bangs aren't exactly a new trend, but they are a pretty big hair move. On some celebs they look fantastic -- and others, not so much.

Hilary Duff is the latest to go for the fringe, and now it's your turn to weigh in: Cute? Or not her thing?
