Brand doesn't mean everything...

Hi Everyone,

This is how to test Lipstick for "Lead ", lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

Recently a brand called, "Red Earth" decreased their prices from HK$67 to HK$9.9.

It contains lead.

Please send this information to all your girl friends.

Brands which contain Lead

1. Christian Dior 4

2. LANCOME 2

3. CLINIQUE 2

4. Y.S.L 5

5. ESTEE LAUDER 3

6. SHISEIDO 2

7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss) 2

8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner) 2

9. Market America-Motives lipstick 0 ( The higher the number of lead the higher the content which means a greater chance of causing Cancer)

After doing this test, we found Y.S.L. lipstick to contain the most lead.

It is not easy to "REMOVE" because of the lead.

(watch out for those lipsticks which are suppose to stay longer) 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.

Lipstick has always been dodgy,

once there was this lipstick with animal fat in it...(from pigs)

so stay safe like me and just use vaseline/petroleum jelly and nice maroon lip liner....

mmmmmmmmm...perfect 'angelina-jolie' style lips ;)
