From the makers of chocolate, ice cream and cookies comes ... a skincare product? The foodies at Nestlé just launched Glowelle, a beauty drink that promises to hydrate and nourish skin while busting wrinkle-causing free radicals. Glowelle comes in two flavors: One you'd maybe try (pomegranate lychee) and one no person with taste buds should touch (raspberry jasmine).
To counter the inevitable laughter sure to result from this news, Nestlé also launched a Web site where women absolutely rave about the wonders Glowelle has done for their skin.
There's a catch, though: You're supposed to drink one $7 bottle (which you can only buy at Neiman Marcus) each day for 30 days -- making Glowelle about as accessible and affordable as, oh, street drugs.
What do you think? Could Glowelle be worth it if it works? What would you put $210 a month toward?

Scary Beauty Tools
Tända Regenerate Anti-Aging Starter Kit
Press this sci-fi contraption on a wrinkle or zit, wait for it to light up, and hit "zap." The Tända uses LED therapy to boost collagen production, fight signs of aging and help you feel like a really cool astronaut. ($275, Sephora)
Beauty is Easy
Lancôme Ôscillation Powermascara
This so isn't just another tube of mascara. Vibrating at 7,000 oscillations a minute, the wand -- available in November -- can double as a food mixer, neck massager and female pleasure inducer. ($34, Lancôme)
Lancôme
Serious Skin Care Air Coverage Air Brush Makeup System
Looks like a cross between weed killer and an IV, but this complicated system of tubes and spray wands -- you use it to blast makeup onto your face -- will actually make you more beautiful. Supposedly. ($79.95, HSN)
HSN
Leaf & Rusher Derma Roller Kit
This device is inspired by ancient Balinese healing massages, but looks more like a torture tool to us. Brave ladies: Coat your face in the serum, then roll the wand over it. Ten times. Let us know how that goes. ($122,
Fashiontribes
Vector Electrolysis Hair Removal System
Call us unadventurous, but we're not up for grabbing each hair, then shooting electricity into it. (Other at-home kits let you put a needle directly into each follicle. Yourself!) We pay experts for a reason. ($199.95, Folica)
Folica
Zeno Pro Acne Clearing Device
Finally, an acne solution that matches your Barbie Dream House! Hold this battery-powered gadget up to a zit for two and a half minutes, and the heat-emitting metal pad will blast away that poor pimple. ($159,
Zeno
Baby Quasar
It may look like a "Night Court" prop, but this gavel actually emits light wavelengths to smooth wrinkles, shrink pores, fight acne, even discolorations and stop hair growth. Still, our inner Carol Anne is freaking out. ($449,
Bliss
Safetox
Nostalgic for the headgear days? This straight-from-"Star-Trek" Botox alternative is your dream wrinkle-warrior. Tragically it's only available in Britain, so let's have a moment of collective prayer that it soon reaches North America. (
Safetox
Blinc Heated Lash Curler
When/if we're abducted by aliens, we think their torture tools will resemble this heated curler. (Or they'll be friendly and we'll all enjoy a cup of tea, but that's another debate.) Like normal eyelash curlers aren't scary enough. ($25,
Blinc
WAO-1 Robot
It isn't available at your drugstore, but this scary piece of steel is too good to leave off the list. The robot, from a Tokyo lab, rolls ceramic spheres over the face for a "therapeutic massage." Look for it soon in a hospital near you!
