Can wearing an appetite suppressant on your lips really stop you from shoving a piece of chocolate cake in your face? This sounds way too good to be true, but apparently women dig it. While they don't necessarily say it stops them from over-indulging, they do rave about the taste and texture of the gloss. "I thought this was such a cute concept. I don't have to worry about my weight, but I love many Too Faced products, and I love gloss, I love them. They � really moisturize, they aren't horribly sticky and they taste really great," says one reader. Another says "call me crazy, but I just love it."
Yes, putting anything hot near your eyeball sounds like a bad idea right off the bat, but this heated eyelash curler is actually just "warm," so cool your jets. Reader PeggieSue says it is the "best curler since � sliced bread? Well, anyway, it's the most user-friendly, lash-loving curler out there." We know what you mean Peggie because droves of other women also love this product. They say it is "easy to use, slim, handy, and gets the job done!" It is "so great" that they will "never go back to a traditional eyelash curler ever again!" exclaims one woman.
Boob job in a bottle? Not exactly. Does it "firm, sculpt and improve curves" on your chest like it claims? Users say, yes. This "light cream with Virtual Bra Technology," has a "blend of ingredients that forms an invisible network for additional support to the bust area" according to the manufacturer, and readers say it's their "secret" weapon for improving their bust line.
"When I turned 39 my average 34B started heading south ... I bought a tube of this and could tell a difference after a week. After a month my sister started noticing that I had gone from a 34B to a 36B!" admits one woman. Another says "Great Product! I've been using it for a week now and have already seen a difference in the firmness and perkiness of my chest. My breasts are higher and firmer."
Intuitive? Lip gloss? You bet. This gloss goes on clear and then based on its "intuition," colors your lips the perfect shade of pink. Sounds like a psychic lip gloss minus the crystal ball. The good news is that you don't have to be into crystals or believe in mood rings to like this gloss as women say it actually creates the pink that suits them best: "It's been a struggle to find a pink that fits me � so imagine what happened when I found this gloss! The perfect shade of pink that doesn't wash me out, but makes me look naturally prettier," says one reader. Another woman says "this lip gloss really is insane!! At first when I heard about 'that it starts clear and then turns into your natural shade of pink,' I thought, what bogus, it has to just be commercial talk, BUT it really does work!!! Incredible."
It's a weeknight at 2am and you can't sleep. You turn on the TV and see commercials for random beauty products that do everything from "remove calluses" to "automatically tweeze your 'stache." They always claim to be miracles, and they never cease to amuse.
Cut to a lazy Saturday. You're strolling through the mall. You're approached by an ambitious kiosk worker who claims to have the most amazing, albeit bizarre, face mask/eyelash enhancer/therapeutic bath soak you've ever tried, but you wave them off with a shy grin. You leave the mall somewhat intrigued.
Fast forward to you, at work, when you have a moment to sneakily read your favorite beauty blog. They muse about beauty products with funny names or some off-the-wall ingredient in a new lip gloss. You can't help but wonder, despite its wacky appeal, if it's actually a quality beauty product.

These aren't your typical, everyday beauty products, they are the ones you're likely skeptical or nervous to try. Well guess what -- some women aren't afraid of trying them and, in return, they love some of them.
