Lutens is a fragrance and make-up guru and creates his cosmetics collection of "exquisitely textured gems of color and deluxe formulations." This mascara has a comb wand, lash-by-lash applicator that purports to lengthen, refine, and shape lashes.

We've seen some crazy diamond-studded ideas before but this may be the most ridiculous or the most fabulous depending on your viewpoint. H. Couture Beauty sells makeup that comes in bejeweled cases and have sold the world's most expensive mascara and lipstick for $14 million. A customer requested a blue, white and pink diamond version -- made in solid 18-karat gold -- of the company's Swarovski crystal and gold-plated lipstick and mascara set. The mascara casing will have 2,500 blue diamonds and the lipstick casing will have 1,200 pink diamonds.

Their mascara generally retails for $589 and the lip color retails for $150. The high-priced makeup include concierge service, 24/7 customer service and complimentary lip and lash refills for a year. There is also a lip plumper for $348 which comes with one free refill and lip liner for $120, which also comes with one full product refill.
