Men, you like the corsets, don’t you?

Of course you do. You find them sexy on pretty much any woman who goes through the effort of putting on one for you.

But would you feel the same if the tables were turned, and YOU were the one to wear a Male Corset?  Well, it could happen — Asda in the UK is now selling a male corsetOf course, Asda doesn’t go as far as to call it a corset — that wouldn’t do well for sales, would it?

Shopping tip: Beauty products and cosmetics have expiration dates



Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me
Don’t Go to the Cosmetics Counter without Me

Web Watch has talked about how much trouble that cosmetics can get you into, but that’s not going to stop women and men from buying beauty products on a regular basis.

But some people end up buying more than they need (hello, Costco and Sam’s Club shoppers! We’re looking at you!  And those Extreme Couponers with their hoard).

Web Watch has covered a few cosmetics-related articles in the past:

So when we ran across this video by LERNERT & SANDER entitled NATURAL BEAUTY, we knew we needed to bring it to your attention.

What the did was take Belgian model Hannelore Knuts and cover her face with an entire year’s worth of makeup.

Trouble applying sunscreen while at the beach by yourself? Just ask for someone to DO MY BACK



Lotion Applicator
Don’t buy THIS Lotion Applicator…
check out the one below instead:

We’ve all been to the pool or the beach, with the hot sun blazing down. In one hand is a tube of sunblock, and the other just doesn’t reach all the way around to those special places where the sun actually does shine… a little too much.

So what’s a person to do?

You can do what Kate Slavin did after she ended a 2-year romantic relationship — she designed a product to allow herself to DO MY BACK without anyone else’s help.

Pierced or tattooed? The Church of Body Modification wants you!



Modify - uncensored edition
Modify

If you have a body piercing (ears, belly button, nose, lip, elsewhere), a decorative tattoo or scar — yes, scars can be decorative — or have had some type of non-medical-related surgery purposefully intended to change the way your body looks away from what it considered a traditional appearance, then you’ve participated in body modification.

There are all sorts of body mod websites out there, some of which – like BME.COM – we’ve talked about previously on Web Watch. 

Here’s a new one for you:  where do you turn when body modifications are a religious experience?

More proof that the cosmetics/beauty industry is trying to kill you



9-inch Beauty Hairstyling and Makeup Head
9″ Beauty Hairstyling and Makeup Head

Web Watch has said it before, about how beauty shops and cosmetics are trying to kill you:

Okay, you can’t actually die from having herpes.  Well, maybe die from embarassment… but that’s a completely different subject for a different day.

Let’s cut right to the chase: there are plenty of chemicals that are are part of various cosmetics and beauty products that you may not be aware are in there.  Here’s a list of the MOST UNWANTED INGREDIENTS IN PERSONAL CARE/BEAUTY PRODUCTS:

Armpits may be stinky, but it’s a pretty stink



Dove Ultimate
Dove Ultimate

Dove, the skin care folks, have asked this question of women everywhere:  “DO YOU LOVE YOUR ARMPITS?”.

Would you believe that 93% of women surveyed said, “no”?

That’s right – women don’t care for their own armpits… yet Web Watch knows some women who love sticking their nose directly into their man’s armpits, just to take a big whiff.

Maybe beauty is in the eye of the beholder.  But we digress…

September 20-27 is NO MAKEUP WEEK




My First Makeup Bag
My First Makeup Bag

Did you know that September 20th through September 27th was NO MAKE-UP WEEK?

That’s right – for these seven days, women around the world are purposefully going out of the house without blush, base, mascara, lipstick, eyeshadow, and other beauty products in order to prove a point:  that women prefer other women to wear makeup.  (This comes from a study that claims that 80% of women prefer that their female co-workers wear some sort of cosmetics over women who didn’t wear any.)

Odd invention of the day: Anti-Aging Cream made from Infant Foreskin




SkinMedica - TNS: Essential Serum
SkinMedica – TNS: Essential Serum

SkinMedica is a San Francisco-based company that specializes in anti-aging creams and lotions to help restore elasticity to aging skin. 

And, it appears from what Web Watch reads on other sites, that they will make an anti-aging cream just for you… if you send them your baby’s foreskin to use as an ingredient.  It must be true, as it was allegedly announced as such on an episode of the Oprah Winfrey show in 2007.

And we know that Oprah wouldn’t lie to us, would she?  Besides, SkinMedica isn’t the only company doing this.  A different company uses foreskins to make Vavelta, which is injected to help smooth wrinkles as Botox does.

Today’s Fun Fact: Why more women than men have herpes




Lipstick Sampler
Lipstick Sampler

After yesterday’s WEB WATCH post about the percentage of herpes infections in the US, we received a few questions about one of the CDC’s survey results that stated that more women than men suffered from herpes.

The question?  “Why?”

While we know some men can be sleeping around with more than one partner, that certainly doesn’t mean that men are the sole means that the herpes virus can get spread around.

Leave it to more scientific studies to help Web Watch out when we need to know more about herpes in just a few days than we ever thought was reasonable.

Q: How many different chemicals do women put on their face every day? A: 515




Barbie Make-Up

HOW MANY DIFFERENT CHEMICALS DO WOMEN PUT ON THEIR FACES EVERY DAY?

A UK company, Bionsen, determined that the average woman puts 515 different chemicals on her face every day, using a combination of makeup, perfumes, mascara, and other products.

The average woman uses 13 different products daily, and each product contains at least 20 different ingredients — lipsticks and other makeup average 30 ingredients, and some perfumes can have as many as 400 different ingredients.

It gets scarier from there.  You pay attention to the labels on food you eat, but have you paid attention to the ingredient list on your personal grooming products… if those products even contain ingredient lists in the first place?
