Do you love your bright, red lipstick? It could be full of beetle juice! After being boiled, dried out and crushed, cochineal beetles produce an enzyme that creates a beautiful crimson color that can be used as a powder or liquid called carmine to add to lipstick. Beetle juice can be found in more than 300 lipstick products, including lip liners, lipsticks and mascaras. Pictured here is a Dogbane leaf beetle. (Getty Images)
