Pls be careful about the lipstick we use. This is truly good to know.

Your lipsticks might cause you health problem. Brands don't mean

everything. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

Recently a brand called, "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to

$9.99. It contained lead (plomo).

The Brands which contain Lead are:

1. Christian Dior

2. LANCÔME

3. CLINIQUE

4. Y.S.L

5. ESTEE LAUDER

6. SHISEIDO

7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)

8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)

9. Market America - Motives lipstick

The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing Cancer.

After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. lipstick

contained the most amount of lead. Watch out for those lipsticks which

are

supposed to stay longer. If your Lipstick stays longer, it is because

of

the higher content of lead.

Here is the test you can do yourself:

1. Put some lipstick on your hand,

2. Use a 24k-14k Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.

3. If the lipstick color changes to black then you know the lipstick

contains lead.
