I've been known to wear a cat eye to work on the regular, but if I pair it with a shiny red lip, I go from Cady Heron to Regina George in 60 seconds. Once I paint on Make Up For Ever's Aqua Rouge, my personal soundtrack becomes a running playlist of, "Don't Cha," "Fancy," almost every Beyoncé song, and "Milkshake" (had to), that follows me wherever I go. Aqua Rouge literally does not budge (until I scrub it off with makeup remover), so I take this opportunity to skip the usual trips to the bathroom for touchups, and instead use my time to pose for my friends' Instagram pics and bring boys to the yard � aaand welcome any mirror that just happens to come my way.

Would you sell your soul for a one-of-a-kind designer fragrance? Do you secretly covet your neighbor's skin? If your favorite lipstick color were discontinued, how big of a hissy fit would you pitch? Just because we preach the virtues of wearing sunscreen daily or praise the almighty lip balm doesn't mean we walk the righteous path with all of our beauty obsessions. Some of our sinful beauty mistakes border on the criminal.

Part of the recovery process is admitting you have a problem, so the Total Beauty team shared which of the seven deadly beauty sins we're guilty of committing. Red- alert meltdowns, lazy habits, hoarding -- we've done it all. See our shameful sins and tell us about yours ... because we're all guilty of some beauty transgression, right? Right?!
