Boiled eggs - yes, eggs - are the latest beauty trick

'Egg on your face' has a new meaning.

Lately we've seen just about every household object turned into a makeshift beauty blender, from condoms to kitchen sponges. But, one beauty blogger has taken things to a whole new level by bringing food into the equation by using a hard boiled egg.

Esther Gbudje from London posted a video tutorial in which she applied her foundation with an egg. And, by the looks of things, it did a pretty decent job.

In the video's caption, Gbudje explained that she'd seen various household objects being turned into beauty blenders, but she decided to take things up a notch with her egg blender. "Well anyway did it work? YES it did. Would I use it again? Hmmmm, MAYBE." wrote Gbudje. Um, we'll take your word for it.
