I went to a Lancome launch today (keep one very alerty and eagley eye out for their Definitely Excellent new nail polishes is all I will say) and I learned that L’Oreal have created synthetic human skin in order to eradicate the need to test on animals. It’s called Episkin, it’s made from donor cells and not only will it allow cosmetic companies to test for things like irritation or sensitivity with great ease, it will save thousands upon thousands of poor little creatures from being subjected to animal testing so that we can look pretty without swelling up, developing extremely unsavoury rashes, or, uh, dying.
Read about it more in depth here.
Or, don’t, and just go back to watching Girls of The Playboy Mansion. Oh come now, you can admit you watch it. We all do. And yet we only remember how terrifyingly inane it is, and how less intelligent we are becoming by the second when Kendra says "Now that I have my grill I definitely feel more like gangsta," or when we notice they all wear pink tracksuits, all the time.
