Bizarre or Unusual Beauty Secrets 101


We all know celebs are out there living the high life, we should all be so lucky and of course with all that money floating about one is bound to get bored. The Muse's theory is the more money you have the more likely you are to adapt a bizarre, possibly unusual beauty regime. It's true right? You have a ton of cash and you've tried every lotion and potion on the market and now you're bored...might as well try something different to spice things up right?

Check out some possibly unusual beauty treatments that celebs and share your own!

Catherine Zeta-Jones
Strawberries
Malic acid acts as an astringent to remove discoloration on teeth. Combining with baking powder, strawberries become a natural way to clean teeth.

Cindy Crawford
Milk
Cleopatra was well known for bathing in milk and honey. Milk is a luscious skin treat when it is added to bath water. Milk exfoliates, softens and nourishes the skin.

Debra Messing
Snake Venom
Supposedly is a great ingredient in anti-wrinkle treatment. I haven't seen any skin care sporting it as of yet but than again I don't have Debra Messing's bank account, must be shopping in the wrong places!

Jennifer Love Hewitt
Toothpaste
Ahhh we've all tried this home remedy I'm sure, a little dab of toothpaste for my pimples. Toothpaste acts as a mask treatment to dry out pimples and reduce their size. Some toothpastes contain menthol or alcohol which accounts for the drying properities and the reduction of a pimple size.

Sandra Bullock
Hemorrhoid Cream
Personally anything that's normally used for your butt would not be touching my face but if Sandra Bullock likes it good for her! Supposedly it's great for wrinkles.

Halle Berry
Coffee
The idea is to mix coffee with some sort of body lotion to buff away cellulite. Can't say if it works but plenty of people swear by it!

Julia Roberts
Olive Oil
Rubbing olive oil into nails and cuticles will keep them soft and moisturized

Eva Longoria
Placenta Protein
Word on the street is that placenta contains highly proteins, vitamins, and such to help skin regenerate.

Teri Hatcher
Wine
Dunno if Teri's drinking in it or bathing in it although the Muse has heard that a glass of vino a day keeps the old ticker beating happy and healthy...not sure about skin though!

Do you have any unusual beauty regimes?

Me, I don't think I really have any. I'm not one for trying out home remedies and the likes so I can't say I really used any of the above treatments.

How about you?

Share 'em!

P.S. I do not endorse any of the above treatments nor do I suggest you try them. I'm not a doctor or a dermatologist and have no way of knowing the effects of these treatments on skin. Always be safe when attempting anything new on your skin. This post is for entertainment purposes only. Whether or not if the following celebs actually use these treatments is entirely speculation please see the source for more information.

Beauty Most Unusual: Cargo Liquid Foundation

Props to Cargo for creating foundation in a packaging that resembles that of an IV drip.


God forbid I'm ever in need of an IV drip, Cargo Liquid Foundation would be my IV of choice.

Unconventional or innovative packaging?

Beauty Most Unusual for the most part....

What do you think?

The Muse has confessed on occasion her elbows do indeed get dry and rough however she's unsure if she's up for removing that roughness with a...horny remover?

This simple tool will get rid of all that horny on your elbows. Ah the joys of Asian beauty tools!


Possibly multitasking for the hub or the boyfriend on nights you have a headache...."here honey use the horny remover!" See? Relationship help and a beauty tool all in one wonder!

Beauty Most Unusual: Cannabis In Your LipBalm

I bet you didn't know that you can get your nickle bag on with lip balm!


Check it after the jump!

"Hempz Herbal Lip Balm is a vitamin E based healer for chapped lips. It contains Cannibis Sativa Oil which is a rich, yet lightweight emollient that locks in moisture and has a tropical fruit scent."

I'm not making this up that's the details on the website. If you ever wanted a bit of cannbis sativa oil in your lip balm here's your chance plus it's only $4 bucks and contains an SPF.

Getting high was never so easy.

Deemed indeed a most beauty unusual find!

Beauty Most Unusual: Nightingale Droppings Facial Cream


Birds nest, crushed pearl powder, all of these are possibly different, unique Asian skincare techniques but Nightingale Droppings Facial Cream falls under the Beauty Most Unusual realm!

Bird poop in your moisturizer? They has it!

Check it after the jump!

I dunno about you but I'm not sure if I'm up for spreading bird sh..ahem...bird poop on my face. I've tried bird's nest and crushed pearl powder as I believe everything and anything that Asian's tell me about proper skincare but I may have to draw the line at Nightingale Droppings.

Supposedly the crap of a nightingale works as an incredible mask treatment for the skin by removing heavy makeup and leaving behind smooth and supple skin. Thankfully it's a fragrance free experience.

Alright, if I'm honest I admit I'm curious......

Now where can I find a nightingale do you think?

Beauty Most Unusual: Just The Treat For Lips!


We all have those days when we want to turn the other cheek and tell someone to go ahem...intercourse themselves.

A beauty most unusual topic or a cheeky little treat for lips?

Leave it to those crazy people at BlueQ to create a lip balm that tells it like it is.

Supposedly a natural and delicious cherry lip balm this one is for mother intercoursers everywhere......indeed and an SPF of 15 too! It just gets better and better doesn't it?

Beauty Most Unusual indeed, no nerve here to carry this one around, I'm a mush I never tell anyone to go intercourse themselves. I simply nod and smile like an idiot, seems to work wonderfully well!

Beauty Most Unusual: Bacon Lip Balm


Let me tell you a cute little story. My x-boyfriend is a vegetarian and I can't recall but at the time we were discussing bacon for some odd reason or another. Him being a veggie eater he had never even tasted bacon in his life but he proceeded to make me snort myself silly when he said, "but I really like the smell of it....!" LOL ahhh the irony.

Well the lead in to that story is maybe an ideal gift for him would be bacon lip balm!

Click it.

Maybe, just maybe Cheetos Lip Balm doesn't cut it. Maybe you feel the need for more fat in your diet. Whatever the case may be J&D (whoever the hell they are) has it's own Bacon Flavored Lip Balm.

Indeed you read that right.

For a mere $3.99 you can own yourself a slice of pig in a balm. Think how appealing you'll be to your loved one tasting just like fatty bacon. J&D promises that this balm will remind you constantly why bacon is the king of all meats (silly me though lobster was the king of all meats).

Ok J&D we'll take your word for it.

If you have a yearning for more bacon you can purchase you tube here but I wish you wouldn't.

Accessory Corner: An Unusual Coin Purse

Yes well, I find this terribly disturbing.


I have no words. Maybe I need to start a new category, Accessories Most Unusual.

If you're simply gagging to get one you can visit FreckleFace Shop.

I think I'll skip for now.

Beauty Most Unusual: Deluscious Cookies and Borba


The Muse digs cookies. Mmm cookies and milk, good stuff. You know DeLuscious looks like they make seriously good looking cookies. The Muse can get on board with good looking cookies.

But get this....their cookies happen to be laced with something other than the typical ingredients you'd find in your standard chocolate chip variety.

Click it to find out what's inside these cookies!

Considering Borba has bottled up tropical juices with anti-aging, clarifying, replenishing, and other goodies for your skin it was only a matter of time that they got to the cookies.

Come to the darkside...we have cookies...cookies with good for your skin ingredients. Ok, be right there!

Deluscious has teamed up with Borba to create a line of vitamin-enhanced oatmeal raisin and chocolate white chocolate toffee cookies (that's chocolate twice peeps obviously this is serious skincare we are talkin' here) to help your skin look flawless. Look at that? I'm so printing this out and taking it over to my mum's who proclaimed how bad chocolate was for my skin when I was a growing teenage girl.

I think the promise of a cookie that creates flawless skin could be a bit much but I'm willing to try, for the sake of beauty, etc...not because I like cookies mind you.


Here's the scoop, the cookies contain antioxidants and nutrients such as acia and noni berries plus vitamins B3, B6, and B12 plus Flaxseed. I honestly get a bit too much Flaxseed in my diet (I'm addicted but that's a story for another day) so I might be over doing it by indulging in these.

But hey sure sounds like a cure all for your body and your skin! You can get half a dozen from Deluscious for $24.95 USD, milk is sold separately.

As for the Muse she's still debating if this is Beauty Most Unusual or something that could actually work.

I'm leaning towards a tad unusual for now.

What do you think?

Would you like your cookies laced with skincare and a side of Flaxseed?

Tell the Muse!

Beauty Most Unusual: F-Cup Cake, F-Cup Tea, and F-Cup Cookies For A Larger Bust?

The Muse is fond of a nice hot cuppa in the morning and she's not averse to a digestive or two with that cuppa. She's thinking maybe she needs to replace her current morning cuppa and biccie with F-Cup Tea and F-Cup Cookies to enhance her...bust?


Today's edition of Beauty Most Unusual is a cookie, a tea, and a cake that supposedly enhances your bust....

What will they think of next?

Jump ahead to read what it's all about!

F-Cake is "supposedly" a great tasting cake that you can microwave and contains 11 essential vitamins to enhance your breasts. Guess that's with the F and Cup stand for...ha! Whoa if I can achieve an F cup with 11 essential vitamins I'd consider that a miracle in itself! Cake sounded so much more appealing than tea dontcha think?



If you're not wanting to cake you can indulge in F-Cookies and F-Tea which work the same way containing essential vitamins, herbs, and minerals to bring your bust up a size or three. Prices range from $19.95 to $26.95 USD per a box.




What do you think?

Would you buy a cookie, cake, or tea that promises it'll enhance your bust?

As for the Muse she'd be scared she'd keel over after sipping this tea!

I'm scared, someone hold me.

Beauty Most Unusual: Cheetos Lip Balm

Mmm cheese doodles. Some people love 'em, some people hate 'em. I can understand the hate! Who wants their finger tips all orange and gross looking? Just one bite and you end up with orange crud on your finger tips that's an absolute biatch to remove. Or how about the fact that eating cheese doodles kinda gives you a milk mustache in the bright shade of orange!


If you happen to fall into the lover category check out this fantastic new product that you probably won't want to live without...

Bless be for cheese doodle lovers far and wide, the Muse gives to you Cheetos Lip Balm!


If you're wanting to experience that yummy orange goodness without the calories now you can slick on Cheetos Lip Balm, lick your lips, and experience the joys of eating a bag of cheese doodles.

I love the cheese factor of this, get it, cheese factor! Ha I'm such a comedian.

If you're wanting Cheetos Lip Balm I don't have the slightest idea where to get it nor would I tell you if I do because the idea of a cheese doodle flavored lip balm should be avoided at all costs and the Muse's mission, since she choose to accept it, is to keep cheese doodle lovers (and haters) from buying this blasphemy. Horror!

Demeter Fragrance: The Wild and Crazy Fragrances

The Muse loves how innovative Demeter Fragrance is. Particularly when they are busy introducing fragrances that smell like..a funeral home?


Gotta love it!

Jump ahead for the sweet smell of strange!

If you're looking for unique you probably should head over to Dememter Fragrances, they have unique, wild, crazy, and a little strange on the back burner waiting for you!

Check below for some of the crazy blends the Muse wonders about (who buys this stuff anyway?).

You'd be lying if you said you never ate paste or sniffed glue. I remember in second grade we'd eat the craft paste our art teacher had in big jumbo size tubs. I also recall sniffing glue because it smelled so good, not for the buzz....honest! Re-live your youth with Demeter Glue!


I'm not partial to the delightful scent of Play-Doh but Demeter obviously thinks some people are!


Turpentine? Holy cow that's some serious high!


I love seafood, who doesn't? But my love does not extend to smelling like it. Thanks but no thanks.


Embalming fluid comes to mind....is that macabre?


I believe you'll need a bit of Dirt with that Funeral Home! What? It's the next logical step I'm told.


I can get on board with the scent of crayons! Who didn't love the smell of a freshly opened pack of crayolas? That was what loved smelled like when I was five year's old!


I think it's safe to say they pretty much got it all covered. Now I'm just waiting for them to introduce shrimp scampi, a meatball sub and gas. I'd so buy gas!

Name a few crazy blends you think Demeter should take on!

Comment box is open!

Religious Cosmetic Musings: Looking Good For Jesus

Religious Musings ahead with some comic relief......you've been warned!

The Muse likes to think she's an agnostic kinda girl although on occasion she's been known to lean towards the atheist side of the field. Now her parents did their best and sent the Muse to Catholic elementary school and an all girl's Catholic High School but here be the Muse a few hundred years later and her beliefs are quite drastically changed from when she was a mere girl.

The Muse has decided that the best way to bring Jebus into her life was to do so with bubble bath, moisturizer, and lip balm. I mean this is surely how a Muse would gain faith right? So she set on her quest to find Jebus by taking the leap of faith into cosmetic country. Sadly, she found out that not many cosmetic brands care about the all mighty God just about the all mighty dollar!

Damn.

But...now...recently...she was enlightened by the latest brand from Blue Q entitled "Looking Good for Jesus"! This was it! This would surely be my way to the Lord!



My god look at that slogan! "Look your Sunday Best! Guaranteed to help you be worthy and get noticed by the King of Kings!" This is possibly so morally and maybe politically incorrect I can't help but piss myself laughing!



Now to get tight with Christ you can indulge in bubble bath, lip balms, and many other fabulous and heavenly items!

Find the Lord in your bathtub!


A Sparkling Hand Cream! I just knew that Jebus would love the sparkles!


Jebus Lip Balm! It says that this will be return my lips to near virgin quality! Bless Be!


Now to get the full effects of this amazing brand the Muse does recommend checking it out for yourself by clicking here!

The Muse has meditated (and prayed) on the topic and she's decided that these items could surely change the face of Jesus, the church, and religion as we know it! If you hit the cosmetic junkies with the Lord surely the good news of Christ will spread far and wide.

Indeed...Jesus needs to consider tapping this industry!

If you're wanting to get jiggy with Jesus do check out the Blue Q website for further details as I'm positive you'll at the very least want the lip balm! Lord knows where your lips have been right? Best get them back to virgin-like quality fast!
