They're the latest crazy new trend to hit beauty stores and boutiques. Much like the tattoos your kids love so much, you cut the lips to fit your own, dab them on with a little water, and peel off the backing paper.

Voila! Your lips are leopard print! Or polka-dotted! Or star-spangled!

But what happens when you take this radical new look out on the street? I took this dare, and the reactions to my leopard print lips were HILARIOUS.

Watch the video, then tell me what you think of this look in the comments!

I wore my lip tattoos in a business district at lunch time, and I have to say people weren't exactly clamoring to get the look for themselves -- probably because the tattoos looked less like leopard print on my lips and more like disgusting black scabs on a sickly yellow background.

NOT HOT.

With the promise of warmer weather approaching, many of us may already be dreaming of basking on a sunny beach. Some of us will turn to tanning salons or use the popular self-tanner to give our pasty winter skin a little glow before suiting up this bathing suit season.

What lengths would you go to in order to get the perfect tan? Fox News reports about some people in Australia who are willing to risk death for that bronze glow.

Melanotan II, an illegal injectable bronzing agent known as the "Barbie drug", is reportedly being used by body builders, brides-to-be, actresses, and others willing to risk some serious side effects for a tan.

The drug, available online for a little over $40, carries known risks of raising blood pressure, darkening freckles, suppressing appetite, scarring, increasing libido, and nausea. Dr. Richard Kidd, member of the Australian Medical Association, warns that the still yet unknown long-term risks could prove to be fatal. Dr. Kidd explains,

Everyone wants clear, glowing skin - the good news? Getting it is easier than you think!

Secret #1 - Get Plenty of Exfoliation

"Exfoliation is key in order to remove the dead, complexion-dulling skin cells that accumulate on top of your skin," says Annet King, director of Global Education at the International Dermal Institute and Dermalogica. "When you exfoliate, you're revealing fresh cells underneath, evening out the skin's surface, and giving it a healthy glow." Miza Shiman from OC61 Salon and Spa in NYC suggests, "mixing corn meal with warm water." The DIY money-saving mixture can act as a scrub. Use it twice a week.

Secret #2 - No Smoking
"In my practice, I can spot a smoker's skin a mile away. The difference in texture, wrinkles, and pigmentation is enormous between smokers and nonsmokers," says Dr. Christine Rodgers, EnPointe Skin Solutions' expert. Adds DermaDoctor founder Dr. Audrey Kunin, "For every 10 years you smoke, your face ages 14 years."

Choosing the Right Red

These days, redheads are having all the fun. Just look to Hollywood and its slew of newly crimson bombshells. There's Michelle Williams, Drew Barrymore, Emma Stone, and the list goes on. This surge in popularity amongst starlets (not to mention the crew of longtime copper stunners like Julianne Moore and Christina Hendricks) has meant that stylists are getting more requests than ever for this glam shade. But can everyone pull it off? We talked to stylist Jeff Chastain about going red and how to pick the right hue for you.

SAY NO TO MONOCHROME
The single biggest mistake that women make when dyeing their hair red is going too monochromatic. "Hair shouldn't ever be one single color," says Chastain. "A natural color will have depth with highlights and dimension, even if it's subtle."
