Is your lipstick safe?
Hi everyone, I got sent this and thought it contained info that all us girls should know about..
Even lipstick isn't safe anymore...what's next? Brands don't mean everything. Recently a brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead . Lead is a metal chemical which causes cancer. The Brands which contain lead are:
1. CHRISTIAN DIOR
2. LANCOME
3. CLINIQUE
4. Y.S.L
5. ESTEE LAUDER
6. SHISEIDO
7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
9. MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES 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 gold ring to scratch on the lipstick. 3. If the lipstick color changes to black then you know the lipstick contains lead.
Please send this information to all your girlfriends, wives and female family members. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Dioxin carcinogens can cause cancer. Especially breast cancer. Don't freeze your plastic water bottles with water as this also releases Dioxin in the plastic.

Thank you for the warning Maya - isn't it interesting that the lipsticks you have mentioned are probably the most expensive to buy!
Quite disgusting that manufacturers really don't care about our health, yet sell us their products using flash advertising and packaging.
Personally I am pleased to say I don't use any of the above brands.
Love and light

Is the test accurate? I use Oriflame, which I thought was fairly natural, and it doesn't pass the test. I am horrified. I shall be contacting them after Christmas!!!!
