Shakira is a Hypocrite?!

Really, Shakira??? Because we just did a little research and found that Shakira was seen in Jan 2011 in Paris sporting a Helmut Lang FUR and Leather Hood Jacket. We looked up the origins of the material and took this from a website which sells the jacket "black wool insert at black lamb leather body. Black rabbit fur collar and covered hood." The Lamb skin and Rabbit fur are both sourced from Spain. The leather part comes from a lamb, which implies its not even fully grown... The rabbit fur is also inexcusable. We just thought we'd share our findings with you.

Perfume: Yes or No?

READ THE TRUTH ABOUT PERFUME:

Animal testing for cosmetic purposes and animal testing for fragrance- completely unnecessary. There seems to us to be no valid reason why animals should enter the equation regarding something made strictly for fragrancing one's (human) epidermis. Perfumes contains urine, which acts as a mild astringent and "makes the smell last longer". The scented ingredients mask the urine smell. Perfumers have long been using stanky ingredients in their perfumes, such as ambergris (which is chunks of gristley whale vomit, BTW) and musk--it makes the perfume more long lasting and smell stronger. They also use the musk from a skunk or a civet cat as a constituent that carries the scent of the perfume. A number of fragrances contain animal products, including animal urine or other secretions from animals. The musk ox amongst other animals like the musk deer, muskrat and beaver, are all used to provide musk from their glands. This can also be contained in the animal urine and so collected and applied in the process of combining all ingredients intended for the resulting perfume or fragrance. So listen to Grumpy cat: say NO! to perfume!
