Here's an interesting tidbit. Through some overlapping research I discovered the following figures never married:
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Jane Austen
Sir Isaac Newton
Meriweather Lewis
President James Buchanan
Joan of Arc
Nikola Tesla
Henry David Thoreau
Walt Whitman
Emily Bronte
Florence Nightingale
Leonardo da Vinci
Harper Lee
Eudora Welty


There are many more I could add but, considering expectations and strict social pressures of past centuries, this is a remarkable list.
(This is simply an observation, not an indictment on marriage; Nor am I extolling the virtues of remaining single.)

Your lipstick is probably made with a combination of pig fat, whale excrement, snail slime and ground fish scales. Stick that on your lips and smack it. :)
Pig fat!??? Yikes - I better send an email to Avon :smooch::run_pig:

I just looked it up - Avon does not use any pork products but they use something called "carmine"

(Not so sure about the other lovely ingredients you listed DiO'Bolic :confused::umm:

Yummy

Natural ingredients in your cosmetics may also come from road kill. Tallow is a common fatty by-product derived from animal carcasses that manufacturers extract using animals garnered from laboratories, zoos, slaughterhouses, shelters and even roadkill.

Have you considered your cosmetics may contain insects and bugs? While some may be ground into your cosmetics accidentally, cochineal are bugs purposefully ground to make a powerful red dye used to pigment your red lipstick. This dye has been used for centuries in food and cosmetics and Starbucks even admitted using it in their strawberry drinks.

Semen is high in protein and bull semen has become very popular in hair products designed for dry or damaged hair.30

High end salons charge between $90 and $120 per treatment, which takes approximately 45 minutes.

You may know that lanolin can be found in moisturizers, skin protectants, machinery lubricants and metal protectors. New breastfeeding moms use lanolin cream on their nipples to protect and soothe the skin and it is equally effective to oil a baseball glove.

Lanolin is made from sheep's wool after the animal has been sheared and may also be called wool grease or wool wax. It begins as a dark and greasy paste that goes through several refinement processes before it becomes the product you purchase from the store. Unfortunately, the wool used to produce lanolin typically does not come from sheep that are organically raised.

As a result, you may be using a product that is high in pesticides and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This lanolin may also be ingested by your newborn when used as nipple cream.

To remain compliant with FDA regulations, lanolin sold over the counter may contain up to 40 parts per million (ppm) of pesticides while the products reserved for hospital use may contain no more than 3 ppm.
