The Precious Skin tats ($50 to $5,500) are comprised of gold or platinum leaf and were originally developed by Japanese designer Nobuhiko Akatsuka several years back (see his Read more

Temporary tattoos are indeed very of-the-moment, and that's exactly why I had to try Urban Decay's Body Jewelry ($25). Inside its cylindrical encasement — which kind of looks like something an architect might use to carry mini samples of blueprints — there are three full sheets of hand-drawn designs, full of things like charms, chains, feathers, and colorful flowers. As for the application Read more
Temporary tattoos are becoming fancier than ever these days, and Beyoncé Knowles is joining in on the action. Beyoncé, along with her mother, Tina Knowles, is set to launch a limited-edition line of Temptu temporary tattoos through their Deréon label. The line's Fall 2010 ad campaign featured images of Beyoncé sporting some serious ink, and the mother and daughter duo wanted to make the Read more

When you think of Coco Chanel, do you think of tattoos? You might now. The temporary tattoos from Chanel's Spring 2010 collection are actually going to be sold at Selfridges starting March 1. The tattoos, which feature the iconic double C's, lace, rosary beads, Karl Lagerfeld's beloved chains, and some Cinderella-worthy birdies, are definitely pretty.

Violent Lips ($15 for three) are a new brand of lip appliques designed to make your lips look like a rainbow, leopard print, and even polka dots. I can't resist a good avant-garde lipstick look (especially with Pride Week coming up). Plus, Violent Lips promise to last for hours, and you can even eat and drink while wearing them.

Huito is the natural equivalent of bacon cupcakes: an unexpected combination that really hits the spot for some people. The yummy fruit, which grows across the Caribbean and all the way down to Peru, makes both great jam and a pretty awesome black hair dye. When ripe, it's popular as a flavor for preserves and ice cream, but when it's still green the geniposidic acid it contains makes a Read more
