Marketed as "a treat for the senses," Deo Perfume Candy edible deodorant isn't (thankfully) an antiperspirant you rub on your pits and, if you're so inclined, your tongue, but rather an edible candy that supposedly makes your sweat smell sweet as roses. Think of it as garlic in reverse. We'll stick to our standard roll-ons, thanks.

So It's Candy That Gets Rid of Fat?
Our beauty cabinets are full of Japanese beauty products we love -- DHC Deep Cleansing Oil, Shu Uemura's amazing Eyelash Curler, Tatcha Indigo Soothing Body Butter ... and on and on, but we'll pass on these collagen marshmallows, which promise to reduce wrinkles and cellulite. If only. As we reported earlier this year, dermatologists are calling ingestible collagen a load of fluff. Your stomach acid will destroy the skin-repairing ingredient before it ever reaches your love handles.

Wonder Where They Got This Idea
How do you get full, Angelina-inspired lips? With the Fullips Lip Enhancer, of course. Just place the suctioning device over your mouth and suck in short puffs of air until your lips are sufficiently swollen. Apparently, it comes with a warning not to suck too hard or you'll end up with a big hickey around your mouth. While we didn't see any results, one editor's dry winter lips were split open from the suction.

Do the Drapes Match the Rug?
Dying your hair hot pink -- gutsy. Dying your pubic hair hot pink -- um, unnecessary? Betty Beauty Fun Betty boldly goes where no hair color has gone before with hair-down-there dye in, yes, hot pink, but also blonde, black, auburn and brown -- you know, so your one-night-stand will never know you're not a natural redhead.
There are some beauty products that are so crazy/awesome/amazing, we just can't believe the world went on spinning without them. Powdered cleansers that get past TSA -- so handy! BB cream for your body -- how did no one think of this sooner? And then there are some beauty products that are so crazy, we can't believe they exist. Take for instance edible deodorant. Not only did someone dream up this concoction (and think it was a good idea), its inventor also managed to convince financial backers and stores that people need this product. Yes, we wish we could say it's an April Fools' prank, but trust us when we say it's legit. Here, 11 unbelievable beauty products that seem like a joke, but aren't.
