The trend that started in Tokyo is now making its way to the U.S. In fact, you just may see this new breed of boutique popping up at a cosmetic counter near you. Lash bars are a one-stop-shop for eyelash and eyebrow care, where you'll find an eye-popping selection of false eyelashes and an expert to help you apply the latest lash looks.

Just when you thought you'd seen it all, along comes a new batch of products that breathe new life into your styling routine. Here's the 411:

Mineral makeup: No doubt you've heard about mineral makeup — a new natural approach to beauty products. While some brands claim they're healthier on the skin, not all are created equal. Be sure to check the ingredients to see just how natural they really are.

Ceramic flat irons: Fight frizziness with the new wave of ultra-advanced ceramic irons, the least damaging of all straightening irons. They help smooth out your hair cuticle, giving the appearance of more shine. But be wary, the best models can be pricey, so shop around for the one that suits both your style and budget.

Once upon a time, the only lash style you could experiment with was colored mascara. But lately, it seems that the options are endless. Runway models and pop divas are turning heads with diamond-studded eyelids and all sorts of lash "bling" from feathers to mink lashes.
