I’ll bite.
Without googling, is #4 the fake?
I think the first one is fake!
I’m going to guess #3 – it doesn’t seem that the light would be bright enough to cure a polish. But if it’s true, it would be a real time saver for nail swatch bloggers! Dry…2,3,4, ….and *snap*!
I think that number 3 is fake… can’t wait to see the grand reveal
NUMBER 4 ALL THE WAY WASHING SOMEONE’S FACE ISNT GOING TO SOLVE CRIME!
I think #3–no googling!
Okay I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Here are the answers to yesterday’s quiz:
1. True. So true in fact that CNN is reporting on mustache implants. The procedure is particularly popular in the Mid East.

2. True. At least it’s true that alcohol intake can deplete dermal antioxidants that fight the effects of sun burn.

3. Fake. I totally made this up. But wouldn’t it be cool??
4. True! Derm’s have special knowledge of scars which is helpful to forensic scientists in evaluating wounds.

5. True. At least based on this BBC report. They’re concerned that Roaccutane is overused and may be causing other problems.
