Who Needs Rhinoplasty?The makers of the Electric High Nose Beauty Lift claim this scary looking device can give you a “firmer and higher nose” in just three minutes, lending fresh meaning to the phrase “her nose is out of joint.”

She’s Got Bette Davis EyelidsHere’s a beauty aid aimed at Asian women who want that bug-eyed, double-eyelid Western look. Like the nose clamp in the previous slide, it appears this spectacles-like contraption only works when you are wearing it, which is bound to detract from the desired effect (even though it comes in pretty pink).

Put A Spring In Your StepOr, at least, remove unwanted facial hair with this spring hair remover. Judging from the pictures, shaving was apparently the only alternative to this springy gizmo. Men and women who wax, tweeze, bleach, dissolve or laser might have something to say about that.

Hot Steamy Summer NightsThese portable steam saunas claim to help users lose weight, tighten skin and improve circulation. If the summer isn’t hot or steamy enough for you, you could just pull this contraption out.

Luke, I Am Your Father!This as-seen-on-TV (no really, it was!) LED face mask promises to improve problematic skin, lighten freckles and even out skin tones. We’re hoping it comes with a matching lightsaber.

Sharpen Those ClawsThis summer, print out your own artistic creations with this digital nail art printer for unique patterns on every finger. According to its manufacturers, it can print on “mobile phones, wooden combs, eggs or small mirrors,” too. It’s the ultimate accessory, really.

Meso-What?Mesotherapy is popular amongst Hollywood stars and believed to be the quick fix to reducing fat cells through various cosmetic injections. This particular portable photo rejuvenation mesotherapy kit offers a needle-free alternative for those of you who may be a bit squeamish, and who just like the good vibrations.

Super MagnetismYour gym membership may just have became obsolete with these magnetic toe rings for weight loss. Wear these on your toes to flush your fatty acids “through the system rather than being deposited.” It’s as if these silicon and magnets have super powers.

Cavewoman Legs Are H-O-T This SummerActually, these hirsute leggings are meant to be worn as a groper deterrent in Asia’s crowded subway systems. We’ve included them as beachwear for gals who are allergic to sunblock, because nothing stops ol’ sol’s rays like a thick, lustrous coat of leg hair. Stops unwanted advances, too.

Beachwear At Its FinestThe Face-kini has gotten plenty of press as a favorite among men and women who prefer a paler aesthetic. In countries where the sun-kissed look is unsightly, people are donning this spandex/lycra mask to shield their skin from damaging UV rays and it doubles as a way to conceal their identity when robbing a bank.
