Think tooth tats over the top? Look again. A man in Toronto has gone for perhaps the most bizarre and disturbing forms of tattoo that we've ever heard of: the eyeball tat. Sometimes, when people sustain serious eye injuries, doctors inject their eyes with dyes to make them look more natural. Now, starting with this idiotic adventurous Canadian, the medical art of corneal tattooing is becoming a new type of elective body modification.

This guy's procedure, in which he basically had an artist turn the whites of his eyes primary blue, required forty ink injections at a Canadian body modification convention. Apparently, the artist tried the traditional tattoo needle, but when it didn't take, they had to go in with a syringe. Ouch. According to one observer "it's trippy - and definitely starts some interesting conversations."

While we're sure that's true, doctors warn that "infection, perforation, and hemorrhage are among the potential complications." Yeah, that and a lifelong case of buyer's remorse when you're sick of having blue eyes.Click here for images of the procedure.

You now have a good excuse to think about Brad Pitt while you're in the shower -- the ecologically-minded A-lister is teaming up with Kiehl's Since 1851 to raise money for the JPF Eco System, a part of the Jolie-Pitt Foundation.

All the net profits from sales of Kiehl's Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser will go to JPF Eco System. The cleanser, which will run $16.50 for a 6.8 ounce bottle, will be a permanent addition to the Kiehl's lineup and should bring in $1 million or more for the charity.

With all of the beauty products and cosmetics being marketed to men, it's really no surprise that more and more men are electing to go under the knife. However, one procedure in particular is catching on with lightening speed -- manbag (or eye-lift) surgery has more than quadrupled over the last two years in one chain of clinics, with similar increases seen across the board.

We've had moving on the brain lately. We're not sure if it's because we live in a college town and are starting to see the students creep back into town, with their cars overstuffed with bedspreads and bookshelves and beer, or because we moved fairly recently and are still feeling the effects (i.e. still can't find anything), but the fact of the matter is, we've been thinking about it.

And when we think about moving, we immediately think of housewarming parties. Trust us, we can turn just about anything into a party!

There is something old school and luxurious about sitting by a pool, wrapped in a white terry cloth robe, sipping cucumber water and waiting to be called for your massage. However, those day spas can be pricey, and with everyone tightening their belts, this is the kind of luxury most of us give up first. You know, before food and gas.

But wait! Before you turn away from the dream of lavender scented lotion and gentle, soothing hands, consider scheduling your beauty treatment on a Tuesday afternoon or Thursday morning.

We're not ashamed to admit it -- we have a slight lip balm addiction. We have tubes and tubs in all our purses, and we can't go to sleep at night without one last fix.

By now, we've gotten picky -- we like products that go on smoothly without being gloppy, and while a bit of flavor is a bonus, we don't want it to be too strong. Keeping all these things in mind, we've found a new love -- Naturally Upper Canada's Cranberry Moro Orange Lip Butter.

Celebrities may not be clocking the major fashion advertisements like they use to (Hello, supermodels!), but they're making up for it with beauty campaigns.

A couple of weeks ago, Revlon announced Jennifer Connelly would be its new brand ambassador. Basically, this means she'll be supplied with an enviable amount of mascara and nail polish for the next few years. Oh yeah, she gets a big fat paycheck for doing so, too.

And just a few days ago, Condé Nast announced that British soul songstress, Duffy, would be the face of an exclusive new Nivea ad campaign. The ads will only run in Fashion Rocks, a super-glossy 16 page supplement that explores the relationship between fashion and music.

Duffy will also be performing alongside the likes of Justin Timberlake, Beyonce, and Mariah Carey in the Fashion Rocks special on CBS that airs on September 9th. Meanwhile, if you haven't picked-up Duffy's debut album Rockberry, then you must get on it. The ten track disc is full of beautiful love songs that are not the least bit cheesy and are made even better because of Duffy raspy voice.

We all like the idea of using natural ingredients, and those of us who garden probably feel even more strongly about it. Lisa Ludwigsen, who ran a school garden project for children at her local school, felt so strongly about it that she used some of the plants from the project to create a skincare and beauty line.

We love all of the amazing independent designers out there. In order to find out more about just what makes all of these creative types tick, we present to you an ongoing segment called Indie Designer Interviews.

Today we'd like you to meet Jessica Lynne Miller, the creator and owner of J.Lynne Cosmetics, a line of handcrafted mineral makeup. Sick of regular makeup irritating her sensitive skin, Jessica decided to take matters into her own hands and she came up with this line of all natural cosmetics.

We probably love chocolate a little bit... okay a lot. We love chocolate a lot. As you've probably been hearing, the antioxidants packed in dark chocolate is as beneficial as drinking a glass of red wine every day. But that's not the only way you can use the yummy cocoa bean to your advantage.

The dark stuff is also a good moisturizer, meaning, you can chop, mix, and melt it into a creamy mask that will replenish your skin and leave a beautiful glow behind.

What you will need...

Ever since we were in high school we've had this condition where hair grows out of our face. It's awkward, unsightly and embarrassing. Luckily, we aren't alone. It appears that other men have been afflicted with similar problems.

Over the years we've had to make due with inferior products to keep our facial hair under wraps. Some of the razors and creams we've used have been so ill-suited to our needs that we found it preferable to go outside with scarves and popped collars than a shoddy shave. POPPED COLLARS!

Things weren't always easy. Until now.

Enter the Schick Quattro Titanium Trimmer- "the first and only razor that shaves, edges and trims."

Most women use foundation on a daily basis. However, many don't know that their product could be doing a hell of a lot more than they bargained for.

Find a foundation that not only matches your tone but also helps with your skin's most basic needs.

So, you want to pluck your eyebrows. Good for you. We support that.

Those little hairs are hard to see, and finding the right lighting can be quite the drama. You think you're done, but then you catch yourself in the kitchen mirror and realize that in another light, you're still Frida.

Witness a pair of tweezers with a bright white light built in. Genius!
