These Titillating Beauty Tools Deserve a XXX Rating
Silicone covers, stimulating tentacles, and pulsating patterns . . . we're not talking about sex toys here, these are actually descriptions of beauty products! This list of sexy hair and skin care launches made us giggle like school girls because they have a striking resemblance to the toys you'd find in the local adult store. We're talking lip balms that look like Ben Wa balls and massagers with stimulating vibrations. Now, we're not saying you should use these products below the belt, but your significant other just might mistake them for your pleasure playthings. The good news: research shows that sex is good for your skin, with or without these titillating tools.
Lipstick Lovin'
The vibrator disguised as a lipstick gained popularity for its discreet packaging. We just might mistake this tube of Guerlain Le Rouge Lip Color ($53) for our other bullet if we packed them both.
Balancing Balls
GlamGlow Poutmud Fizzy Lip Set ($39, available this September at Sephora) comes with two silver globes that remind us a lot of Ben Wa balls from 50 Shades of Grey. These orbs will give you a smoother pout, but you'll have to get the real deal for a Kegel-strengthening workout.
No Glove . . .
Silicone nubs are a feature usually reserved for adult stores, but this Sigma Beauty Brush Cleaning Glove ($39) uses a similar texture to clean your makeup brushes. We won't judge if you find other uses for this hand-shaped massager.
Bullet Babe
A twist of this Travalo Refillable Perfume Spray ($13) cap reveals a portable fragrance container — not ahh-inducing vibrations. But you can interpret it as you wish.
Wet Style
Tigi Bed Head After-Party Smoothing Cream ($21) wins the award for most scandalous packaging. The pink, phallus-shaped tube is sure to attract a woman's eye while cruising the hair aisle. The product inside actually does a bang-up job at fighting frizz, too.
Bedtime Buddy
The controls on the Foreo Luna Sonic Cleanser ($199) amp up the pulsations, but these aren't the feel-good vibrations you're thinking. The sonic movements actually help stimulate the skin so that antiaging is one less worry.
Lip Service
Nipple pasties or lip mask? The Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch ($15) walks a fine line between the two. Korean beauty girls use these gel masks to combat laugh lines.
Pleasure Pole
Comparing the Nume Lustrum 5-Barrel Curling Iron ($148) to a dildo is just too easy! The wand comes with five different attachments, making it easy to customize for your personal pleasure. Our favorite? The bubbled wave option, of course.
Skin Stimulator
NuFace Trinity Facial Toning Device ($325) was created to stimulate your body — just not down there. This handheld device sends electronic currents through the skin to help tighten your complexion. We can imagine a few other uses for those tentacles. . .
Peek-a-Boo
The next time you and your significant other decide to play hide-and-seek in the sheets request this Iluminage Skin Illuminating Eye Mask ($35). This blindfold is actually a made with copper fibers that remedy puffy eyes while you sleep. Tip: it works if you don't plan to get any shut eye, as well.
