I think most other countries can't believe we eat steroid-injected chicken. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I hear you, though. I hope these horses lived long and comfortable lives before being turned into cosmetics and glue. I don't feel bad about putting spiders and snails on my face, but since we have such close relationships with horses, it feels a bit weird.

But hey, I eat meat and wear leather, so I guess it doesn't bother me too much.

There was news that horse DNA was found in some meatballs some months ago. Was a ruckus! Someone had to do explanations then. Not cool. Idk what this world has become... we might be moving towards an era of OMG-ness and using every single source possible for our products. Hmm..

I remember that!

I can understand being angry if you're told you're consuming one thing, but really eating another. Correct food labeling is important. However I'm trying to understand people's issues with horse products? My family owns 3 horses, my sister is a professional rider, so I have a special place in my heart for them, but even I understand that in many, many countries it's very normal to consume horse meat. As a matter of fact, my parents just came back from Sicily and they said it was one of the most common meats that street vendors were cooking. When there's an injured horse that has to be put down, why waste it is their philosophy. 

Idk I just don't think horse fat in a cosmetic is a big deal, unless they are killing horses SOLELY for their fat for cosmetics, which is not something I've ever heard of.

But I guess if anyone is uncomfortable about certain ingredients, feel free to ship your stuff to me LOL /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@MissJexie  as someone who remembers that in the mid-1970's, horsemeat was being sold, because beef was so expensive (yes, that was here in the USA), I understand that horses are just another type of source for food and other products. In some countries, our beef eating ways are disgusting!!  lol

That said, for me, because I have a mental image of "King of the Wind" in my head, it is hard for me to slap a facial mask made out of horse oil on my face, so I am glad I didn't get that one.   I know that some of the wood glues I use are made from horses, so I can and have used products made from them.

I just feel because there are many people here who are trying to use non-animal product items, that the Mayu should have been explained on the Memesheet.....I would be interested to see how the picture looks like for the Mayu mask and if there is an image of a horse /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

@@biancardi, which box or item has the mayu? I can't seem to find it, thanks.

It's a big world out there. Some people view horses as majestic, beautiful, etc and should not be eaten or slapped on you're face, my Mother is like that.

it is the mask 5 that just shipped out - pure smile sheet masks - one of the options is the mayu sheet mask.

OK, this is actually making me feel a little better about it, but I'm not sure I can overcome the image I have of horses as beloved companions, even if the horse oil is just a sensible, waste-not-want-not byproduct (which I'm sure it is). It doesn't even make sense; I'm sure I'm probably unknowingly using glue and who-knows-what-else made from horses all the time, so what's the difference if I moisturize my face with mayu, really? I'm going to have to keep thinking on this, but I hope it ends up being a non-issue and I get one of the other interesting mask varieties in my box.

Does anyone know anything about the pig collagen in the elizavecca green piggy collagen jella mask. I'm thinking it may come from pig skin and I feel kinda guilty using it with that cute piggy looking at me on the container /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I'm pretty sure it does come from pig skin. If it makes you feel any better, Asians consume pork more than any other meat, so it's again a case of using every part of the animal, and not that pigs are being raised just for cosmetics. Everything's better with bacon, even skin care. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

If anyone gets a mayu mask that they feel squeamish about, I'll trade one of my bazillion non-protein masks for it if you want. Assuming horse oil doesn't make me break out or something. 

 

[flushblush]

Ha ha, yeah, I feel guilty enough using piggy collagen products, but at least I can rationalize that away with the fact that I eat pork and bacon (and pork belly... drool) all the time. I don't think I could knowingly eat horse meat, though. Not judging those who do, to be clear!

 

[Jane George]

I feel no issues with using as it is a waste product otherwise. I am not really squeamish and it was on my wishlist at bnk

Oh I'm gonna use it but I may have to cover his little piggy face with tape or something so he stops looking at me /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Give him a mask and a cape in permanent pen and he is super pig.... Beauty superhero

I have a hard time looking at the little piggy on the jar too, but only because I have an English Bulldog that could almost pass for a pig...right down to the curly tail and snorting sounds, lol! If it wasn't for bacon, I think I'd give up pig products entirely!

My fiance' loves chicken bacon, its so much healthier than pig bacon!! He's currently in the process of weeding out meat, but hes having a hard time lol. I don't blame him.

I barely have a bust to begin with, much less to enhance... ;(

I'm not super excited with this box, tbh. I'm sure I'll be happier when I get the box in my hands (it's at the post office), but eh. Looks like a great value, as always, and I'm glad they are adding more variety than just facial sheet masks, even if I don't personally care for neck or bust or undereye masks. Has anyone used the pig collagen one before? I don't really see how that's a mask if you don't wash it off, but okay...

I think it is a sleep pack, quite frankly.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the pig collagen mask

@biancardi  @@Bunbunny @everybody on MUT

I bought a jar recently and loved it so much I got a back up jar!

It is more like a mask pack.

I slather it on and then wipe it off after 20 minutes or more.

I haven't slept with it yet, but I am pretty sure you can.

But it is a mask...not a moisturizer. It won't sink into your skin the way a moisturizer will. It actually can leave a bit of a film on your skin which is why you need to wipe it off.

But it is amazing! It visibly and I mean visibly, tightens and tones my face and then leaves it buttery soft.

(and the jelly consistency is fun to play with too /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />)

I am really thrilled they are including it in this box.

Excited for everyone to try it!

 

[biancardi]

@LisaLeah  thank you for that review!!  It must be like that berrisure mask - where it could be either a wipe off or sleep pack.

nice....I will have to try that soon!
