Lip Stick Warning
LIPSTICK INFORMATION:
Something to consider next time you go shopping for Lipstick……

This comes from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Recently a lipstick brand called ‘ Red Earth’ decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead.

Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
The lipstick brands that contain lead are:

CHRISTIAN DIOR
LANCÔME
CLINIQUE
Y.S.L
ESTEE LAUDER
SHISEIDO
RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
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.

This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer, especially breast cancer!

You might want to do some reasearch before posting stuff like this. I've posted stuff that turned out to be either false outright or not so true. I hate makeup so it's not skin off my nose but just in case, double check everything on the net. I learned the hard way. lol
