See What Temporary Tattoos For Your Lips Look Like

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 12 May 2011 03:15:00 PDT

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. So I tried the brand's Rainbow pattern applique. I think they look cute on, but I also have a few warnings, and some application tips, so be sure to check out the gallery to see how it's done.

Want a Banksy Temporary Tattoo? Here You Go

Street artist Banksy has become the art world's biggest mainstream success since Damien Hirst and Takashi Murakami hit the scene, so it was only a matter of time before his designs started showing up in unexpected places. My favorite recent use of his art are these unauthorized Banksy Temporary Tattoos ($11), which showcase some of the artist's most iconic graffiti pieces. I'd definitely try on the cute little rat and heart sketch, but are any of these something you'd put on your skin for a week?

We really love hearing your takes on our stories, so we rounded up some of this week's funniest and most interesting comments. From cleavage tattoos to nail jewelry and rare beauty items, you had plenty to say.

Unfortunately, this short nail ring didn't get two thumbs up:

"Reminds me of a cocaine spoon pinky nail. Not diggin' it." - postmodernsleaze
"I would love this as a means of protecting my poor snagged nail that I bit. And it's cool!" - Ladyseven
"Looks kind of dumb and is way too expensive. Plus I agree with postmodernsleaze, it totally looks like a cocaine spoon." - lizlee89

Now There Are Temporary Tats For Your Cleavage

Annie Tomlin — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 13:00:36 PST

Nothing says "happy holidays" like a tattooed bosom - or at least, that's what the team behind Ta-ta-toos would like you to believe. Their product line takes the concept of temporary tattoos to a saucier-than-usual level, broadcasting messages like "Satisfaction Guaranteed" and "Guess What? I'm Pregnant" across a woman's cleavage. Now, holiday themes offer the opportunity to put the jiggle in Jingle Bells, too. Totally not my thing, but if you're looking to get some "Ride Me" faux ink, the $13 kits are 40 percent off today with the code CYBER40.

Beyoncé's Faux Tattoos Are Out, and Smaller

BellaSugar — Mon, 01 Nov 2010 14:00:00 PDT

Remember Beyoncé's racy ads for House of Deréon's temporary tattoo line? It's finally here. With all of the buzz surrounding permanent tattoo removal, this would be a smart try-before-you-buy way to see what inking up your spine would be like.

Each box is $16, save for the limited-edition deluxe Temptu set ($34). That one includes 24 temporary tattoos, along with a poster "digitally autographed" by Beyoncé. But if you're going to go in for it, make sure you're aware that the faux ink has been scaled down from the designs shown off by Beyoncé herself.

Tattoo Yourself (Temporarily, That Is)

BellaSugar — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 10:00:00 PDT

Fancy temporary tattoos are popping up all over the place, from Chanel's runway show to Sephora's shelves. So we figured we'd better get around to testing some high-end faux ink to see what all the fuss was about. For that very purpose, we got our hands on Temptu's new Adorn Seductive Chic Temporary Tattoo Kit ($25). To find out what we thought, just keep reading.

Move Over Vajazzling, Here Comes Bikini Ink

BellaSugar — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 13:00:15 PDT

Bored with spackling rhinestones all over your ladybits already? Never fear, there's a whole new kind of bikini wax extra to leave your lover slack-jawed: custom airbrush bikini tattoos. For $75, trained estheticians at Completely Bare in New York will airbrush on a flower, butterfly, sun, or calligraphic word in the color of your choosing. The faux ink is supposed to last for five days and is waterproof, though stuff like baby oil and alcohol will remove them - so you can forget that hot oil massage.

This is a pretty fancy fake tattoo, although given the Chanel and Kat Von D faux ink sets that have come out lately, spendy temporary tats are clearly having a moment. What do you think? Are bikini-line temporary tattoos gonna be so hot we'll need a fire extinguisher? Or are they another pubic enemy?

Temporary Tattoos as Art?

BellaSugar — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 13:00:11 PST

If those $78 Chanel temporary tattoos aren't up your alley but you're still looking to use your hard-earned cash on some high-end temporary ink, the Whitney Museum's gift shop is now selling this temporary tattoo art ($35). Jenny Holzer, the artist who created them, has a history of sticker art and often works with ephemera, so this project makes sense, and the tats are alternately hilarious and oddly poignant. The Whitney's billing them as collectibles and only did a print run of 200, so if you're interested I suggest moving fast. What do you think of the arty faux tats that have come out lately, though? Is it fun, or just a particularly ridiculous trend?

Mommy's Lil Helper: Removeez

babysugar — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 10:00:51 PST

Tattoos here, stickers there, crayola markings everywhere. Mommy is really good at buying fun toys but her foresight into their troublemaking capacity may not be as sharp. Temporary tattoos may seem harmless and easy but when they land on baby's forehead, they all the sudden become the most bothersome present of all. Thankfully, moms can rely on Removeez ($9) to do the job. Tattoos, stickers, glue, band-aid residue, and marker can wipe up easily without toxins, tears or horrific scents. Sold in little vials, the kid-friendly solution made of aloe, calendula, and bee pollen may be credited with saving more than her child's pretty complexion - it will save her sanity, too.

Do you have some helpful tips for mommy? Join our The Mommy Club over in our LilSugar Community and share your ideas! Here's a detailed guide to posting questions or posts to groups if you are new to the PopSugar Community.
