please pass on the info. to loved ones. Even lipstick isn't safe anymore...what's next? Brands don't meaneverything. Recently a brand called "Red Earth" decreased their pricesfrom $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causescancer.
The Brands which contain lead are: 1. CHRISTIAN DIOR2. LANCOME3. CLINIQUE4. Y.S.L5. ESTEE LAUDER6. SHISEIDO7. 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 whichare supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it isbecause 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 lipstickcontains lead.
