We’ve all had that moment when we’ve seen a beauty product and thought, there’s no way that works. But as wacky as some beauty products might sound, some have gained a cult following worthy of a truly spectacular find. These are not your typical Target beauty brands. While the general idea might seem off-putting, these products are the go-to beauty hacks of some of the top beauty bloggers and celebs out there, and they’ve each got a plethora of rave reviews to prove it. Scroll on to check out 12 of the wackiest, most eyebrow-raising beauty products on the market — the ones that actually work.

The notorious brand offers up a variety of unique, borderline bizarre fragrances, including Laundromat, Wet Garden and Dark Chocolate. Yum.
12. LUSH Henna Hair Dye ($28): At first glance, you might think this bar is an artisanal piece of chocolate, but it’s actually a hair dye!
