Ouch! In an interview with The New York Times, the Hollywood actress confessed that she does apitherapy, which is the practice of purposely getting bees to sting you to get rid of inflammation and scarring. Who knew bee venom was so great for your skin?!

Bubble nails is all about getting a 3D effect, which is achieved by piling acrylic on the nail without filing it down. The result is an exaggerated curve with plenty of pop!

Metallic lips

Metallic lipstick may look cool in photos, but imagine going to work or hitting up a restaurant! I rather stick to red, pink and coral colors.

Looking sick with makeup

The makeup fad in Japan is getting a make-under instead of a makeover. Girls are looking sick using cosmetics and it's just really weird.

There's nothing wrong with wearing fake eyelashes, but the spider lashes are just so strange! Full and natural is always best!

The Kardashians are known for starting trends, but the dramatic fake full lip trend seriously has to go. Kylie Jenner looks way better with her natural lips.

A good old foot scrub sounds way more appealing than getting your dry skin chewed off by little fish. No wonder it's banned in the U.S. No thank you!

The ombre look may be popular with hair, but the same doesn't go for bright makeup. Do not try this at home.

Crazy contouring

Kim Kardashian was one of the celebrity pioneers to the contouring trend, but now it seems a little too excessive. Why do people need to look like they bought a whole new face?

Really short bangs

Beyonce tried to bring back short bangs briefly, but thankfully it didn't last very long. I can forgive her for this though!

Half-shaved heads

Sure, the look is edgy, but there are very few women like Cassie Ventura who can pull it off! You have to have a great shaped head and be patient enough to deal with your hair growing back.

Overdrawn eyebrows

I'll never understand why women overdraw their eyebrows to this extreme. It should not look like a spoon or a sad face. Natural is always best!
