July 18, 2006— -- The women's beauty product market is flush with items and choosing can be difficult. Author and host of the Style Network's "Modern Girl's Guide to Life" Jane Buckingham says there is room for people of all budgets in the world of beauty. She brought some of her favorite products to "Good Morning America" -- ranging in $5 to $1,500

Avon devised a less messy way to paint your nails. The instant manicure is 16 strips -- made of real nail enamel, base and top coat -- go on dry. They can be applied on acrylic nails, are waterproof and will last for two weeks. Visit avon.com.

Buckingham said that eyelashes are basically accessories, thanks to extensions and fake lashes. Now an eyelash curler, which heats to 99 degrees in just 20 to 30 seconds is making the coveted full-lash look even easier to attain. Visit sephora.com.

Hair powders add volume and make blow-drying last longer by absorbing excess oil. They provide a dry texture that keeps styles in place. Buckingham said the Bumble & Bumble products are good for busy people who don't have time to wash their hair every day. They come in five colors -- white, black, red, blonde and brown and can add temporary color to roots in between your appointments. People use the white if they don't want added color.

No scream cream makes a bikini wax almost pain-free. Apply the cream to designated area 30 to 45 minutes prior to your waxing appointment to get 70 to 80 percent numb. Visit suddenlyslimmer.com.

This product helps to create healthier looking, fuller eyebrows by stimulating the surrounding hair follicles and is perfect for those who have over-plucked. It takes six to eight weeks to see results, but in the meantime, Brow Gain doubles as eyebrow wax to keep wayward hairs in place. Visit damoneroberts.com.
