The Beauty Brains

Have you been to the Beauty Brains forum? If not you’re missing a lot of great discussions. The forum is a place where you get to swap ideas, tips, and opinions on beauty products and pretty much any other topic you’re interested in. (If you need more see these 10 Reasons to Join the Forum)

So, head on over to the forum and let the others in the Beauty Brains community know what you think. Here is just a list of some of topics you can weigh in on right now.

1. Share your makeup tips - Fellow beauty brainiacs swap tips on the best way to apply makeup.
2. Tell us your latest skin care products - Community members sound off on which products they’re using right now and how well they like them (or not).
3. Tell us your latest makeup purchase - Like the one above but for make-up.
4. What beauty product do you want that doesn’t exist? - Here’s a chance for a direct line to tell cosmetic chemists what kind of products they should be making.
5. What beauty treatment would you undergo? - Members tell what cosmetic procedure they might try and talk about the ones that are just too scary.

We have a lively group on the forum and membership is free. If you want to be heard, just sign up here and leave your comments.

Hello Beauty Brains faithful!  We’re back.

Sorry we’ve been down for the last couple of days but our hosting company (AN Hosting) was having a hardware problem.  Fortunately, with a lot of hard work on their end they were able to get everything back to normal.  The break gave us a little time to catch up on our backlog of questions so some of you got a personal email from one of the Beauty Brains.

Regular posts will resume today or tomorrow.

In the meantime, feel free to check out what’s happening on the Beauty Brains Forum.  There’s a discussion about Lindsay Lohan that’s cracking me up.

The response to our new forum has been great! Thanks to everyone who’s joined. If you haven’t joined yet, just click here. And here’s a sample of what you’ve been missing:

1. Meeting and greeting the other lobes of the brains

Like Scatter Brain, Lame Brain and Medusa Oblongata.

2. A chance to become a brain yourself

If you impress us with your comments in the forum we might give you a shot at guest blogging.

3. Winning free stuff

Our first contest is running now. In the future we’ll be running special promotions just for forum members.

4. Seeing the Brains gone wild

Off the front pages of our blog, the Brains let their hair down. They’re raw and uncensored. (Well, at least Sarah is! Did you see her post on the Vulva fragrance?)

5. Getting to know the rest of our community

You’ll be surprised at how much they reveal about themselves. And when will EriEll’s husband return?

6. Expressing yourself

Be creative and pick a fun avatar. (My favorite so far is Lame Brain’s.)

7. Google mapping

Find out where your fave forum friends are from. It’s just like stalking but without all the legal hassles.

8. Seeing Fauxmccoy’s crazy cosmetic ads

That girl cracks me up. Didja see the one about “Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific?”

9. Lots more details on your favorite cosmetics.

Blog posts are short, but forum discussions can go on and on and on and on.

10. More answers to more of your questions

We get way more questions than we can answer here on the blog, but in the forum you can share tips and tricks with everyone on ANY topic! I’m really impressed by how helpful everyone is. (Especially Hermione, she’s great!)
