13 Bad Beauty Products Of The Decade



Fish pedicures. Such a bad idea they were banned for being unsanitary. (And just plain bizarre.)



 
Paris Hilton's own brand of hair extensions, Dream Catchers. Did you see her when she sported the extensions? They looked like platinum blond, ratty pieces of FAKE. 



You know the deal with Latisse. Sure it could grow you thicker, fuller lashes, but it also may turn your light-colored eyes brown, cause hair growth in places other than your lash line, and generally be a big itchy mess.

  


Get rid of arm jiggle and thigh wobble ... instantly. Slim Tape is your very own tuck and tape. Literally. Pass.


Botox! In a bottle! Couldn't be a worse idea! Doesn't work! Shocking!
 




No, it's not a lip plumper, it's a lip pumper. Get your very own trout mouth with just a few pumps of the Luscious Lips kit! Seriously, people? Our own Amelia tried this and not only did it not work, but it actually hurt.


 



 The magic of SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex is the main ingredient derived from baby's foreskin. But, hey, once you get over the horrendous smell (a sort of unwashed male body stink, we're told), it's supposed to work decently. But still, baby's foreskin?




 Leeches. Not usually considered a beauty product, but according to Demi Moore they are how she detoxifies and looks so hot. No thanks.


This Cover Girl Outlast lipstick kit outlasts even my need/want/desire to wear it. Seriously, you can't get the stuff off your lips!



 

 
The Shizuka NY Geisha facial involves slathering your face in bird poop for 50 minutes at $180 a pop. Super pricey and involves feces. I'm going to take a pass!




With just one or two F-Cup cookies a day, your breasts will grow. Ignoring the fact that I want nothing close to a F-cup, is the real reason you get bigger boobs because you're just gaining weight eating extra cookies every day?

 



EMK Placental masks and creams containing real-deal placenta—the proteins that come from the afterbirth (ew, sorry) are said to contain proteins that apparently moisturize and accelerate skin regeneration.
