Deeply disturbing beauty product alert
<a href=”javascript:popUp(’http://vkm2.com/vid_master/thirty_one.html’)”>
Some time ago news reached these pages of a rather weird and wonderful product based on snake venom which ALDI had added to one of their anti aging creams. As we like hearing about unusual treatments here on the L’Onglex blog we did wonder what might be the next big thing to take the beauty world by storm and although the beauty industry will literally put anything in a bag and flog it, this latest discovery shocked even us.
If you haven’t seen this before it’s a traditional Japanese facial product known as uguisu no fun. The powdered ingredients are placed in a clay face mask and are currently doing the rounds in salons for about €200 a pop. This wouldn’t be shocking in itself except for the fact that the contents of this bottle are dried poop. To be more precise, Nightingale poop. You will of course understand our surprise when we got news of this new treatment but we are assured, due to it’s high concentration of guanine and natural enzymes, that this particular poo restores, revitalises and replenishes even the most ruddy of complexions.
Now, we at L’Onglex are quite a broadminded bunch and how and where you get your kicks is not really our business. But having been surprised by the fact you can buy it, we then thought about who it might have been that actually discovered that excrement from the bottom of their aviary would be of benefit to their complexion in the first place. Who loves their birds that much ?
I mean, I really, really love Elle, who is my Chihuahua, and on the odd occasion she has been known for her to leave the odd present for me on the carpet, but it has never once entered my head that my dog is so special that even her waste products should be somehow so miraculous that they should become the cornerstone of my beauty regime – because that would be quite disturbing.
As if this weren’t enough, another thought then struck us which went something like this …. having worked out that the poo from the bottom of the cage of your favourite songbird was quite good if dried out and smeared over your face, would you not just keep it to yourself. I mean, would you tell people. Of course doing it is one thing, but sharing the fact that you think it’s OK to scoop it up and slap it on is quite another thing altogether ? Would the thought that sharing this habit might be deemed a bit weird not have occurred to that person ?
The last point to consider is this. For this treatment to get out, someone, somewhere, must have first tried the poo, then liked the poo, then recommended the poo, and what’s more, someone must have listened to that person and then said to themselves something like this;
“You know, in every other way she’s as mad as brush, but since her complexion is so radiant I might just go with her on the whole bird poo thing. Yes, she howls at the moon, but she is pretty !”
Frankly, we could go on about this all day but we have to go.
