Getting a good mobile selfie can be a challenge. (Your shower curtain in the background likely says something about your social life or absence thereof.) As you probably know, there are apps for processing your mugshot, beautifying it, and changing the background. Here's a survey of them.
Two list articles that give some good information are at Bustle and dotComplicated. There are so many more apps available. If you're paying for the app, try to pick one that has a review rating greater than 4, less than that is too buggy.
If beauty, or retouching, is your main concern, then an app like Facetune is what you want. Here's an example of what it does.
Photo Editor Pro (Android, free) offers many options including frames, filters, stickers, and one-tap auto enhance.
Photobucket has a mobile app available for both Apple and Android. With it you can animate via a GIF maker; add filters, text, stickers, and more; and auto backup to their site.
What caught my attention though are the special effects you can achieve with your mobile phone with some apps like Slow Shutter Cam, Image Blender, and Tiny Planet Photos. Unfortunately these are only available for Apple devices. According to AppCrawler, there are some some photo apps available for Android that will accomplish slow shutter effects. Below are samples of Slow Shutter and Image Blender. There's a group on Flickr that illustrates the many amazing effects you can get with an image blender app.
An article at Mashable also lists some apps for mobile photo editing; a gallery is included.
