After a short hiatus, the popular Beauty Brains Beauty Science quiz is back. How much do you know about expensive
cosmetics? Well, click on over to the Beauty Brains and give your answer to the quiz. The poll is located on the right column so scroll down and enter your vote.
The real answer will be posted February 4, 2008 so don’t delay. Left Brain thinks that this one will stump even the brightest beauty brainiacs.









Joe Says:
The only reason this quiz will stump anyone is its deceptive nature! Van Cleep and Arpels is noted for its gem encrusted items including lipstick holders. The $215,000 perfume referenced in the quiz has a cost that can be attributed to the “Baccarat crystal bottle that has five-carat white diamonds on it and is decorated with an 18 carat-gold collar.” and its perceived rarity: only 10 made with only 5 for sale. I assume Beauty Brains wants to determine if we can find the reference for a moisturizer or nail polish that is extraordinarily expensive sans container! Then again a story in 2003 entitled “FAA Proposes $70,000 Penalty Against Queen Nail & Beauty Supplies, Inc for Hazmat Violations” involves by deductive reasoning “nail polish”.
So I’ll vote for the $2000 moisturizer!
