Top 10 Bizarre Beauty Products

[vocaltest]

Well, we all know that on here we love beauty products, MAC of course, but I was just reading listverse.com and I discovered the list of top 10 bizarre beauty products. Have a read... I feel sick after reading some of them, and I never knew collagen injections came from that way...

10 Bizarre Beauty Products - The List Universe

"Collagen injections are used to smooth out frown lines, crows feet wrinkles, and smile lines as well as to give the appearance of full lips. Like botox, this procedure is quite common but where the main ingredient comes from is just bizarre. Notwithstanding the ninth item on this list - there are two main sources of collagen, a protein responsible for skin strength and elasticity, bovine (cow) and… human. About three in 100 people experience an allergic reaction to bovine-derived collagen which has prompted manufacturers to source collagen from aborted fetuses, placentas, and donated cadavers as the probability of an allergic reaction is virtually non-existent. Possibly the most morally outraging source of collagen is the rumored harvesting of collagen from executed prisoners in China, taken without the consent of the prisoner or their family and exported to the UK for socialites to shoot into their faces."

Nice huh?

Have you ever heard of that eye cream that's made of circumcised foreskin? eeeeeep!

 

[Ms. Z]

AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awful, Scary!

I'm not against plastic surgery, but I will never understand how that (Cat) Monster woman & the Monster Michael Jackson would pay someone to do that to them.

Believe it or not, tons of women are willing to put stuff like that on their eyes for the sake of feeling younger. I remember there was a show on MTV called 'Rich Girls' and one of the moms used an eye cream with that ingredient, and she really didn't care haha.

According to manufacturers of the product, placenta wrinkle cream derived from bovine placentas can slow down the appearance of visible signs of aging by moisturizing skin and combating wrinkles. Some companies also use plant placenta (yes, flowering plants have placentas!) and even human. Claims were first made in the 1940s (when this idea was first marketed) that the nutrient rich placenta gave off the benefits of hormones and stimulated cell growth. Since the FDA quickly decided that this constituted a medical claim, saying this became illegal in the US. The manufacturers changed these claims to say that the proteins present in the placenta moisturize one’s skin and hair.

Haha, I get Asian tourists ask for this all the time. Apparently it's hardcore popular in China.

Oh, but I wouldn't mind the fish thing.

It seems fun.

 

[k.a.t]

That's what i thought too

The rest are just weird and disgusting.. think about he tapeworms...eww

 

[Korms]

I saw the fish pedicure on TV a while back and actually thought it looked pretty good, although it probably tickles. It's certainly less disgusting than the others!

 

[Krasevayadancer]

I consider myself pretty open minded when it comes to beauty but this stuff just sounds cruel and unusual

 

[GlossyAbby]

I dont think I would try any of that ok possibly botox in quite a few yrs..... possibly....

This is pretty gross, but what about mothers who EAT the placenta after giving birth to prevent PPD? That sounds worse to me.
