Lipstick !!!!!!

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 From: Dr. Nahid Neman
If there is a female you care anything about, Share this with her. I did!!!!!
I am also sharing this with the males on my email list, Because they need to
tell the females THEY care about as well!

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

LANCOME

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.
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 cause cancer,
Especially breast cancer.

I read that somewhere recently too did not know if it was true or not as there have been some really silly scares around recently over different things that turned out not to be true. I do not wear any of the lipsticks mentioned because I buy mine in the body shop and most of mine are lip balms rather than lipsticks but thanks for the heads up anyway.

I checked it out, luckily it's not true:) Snoopes

Thanks Anna. :) I rarely wear more than gloss, but still, it's good to know.

I think so. I hate when people forward me these mass junk emails which just fear monger.

Stick to the jokes. :p

There have been real recalls of food and cosmetic products containing "Sudan Red" dyes, viz. http://www.fda.gov/ora/fiars/ora_import_ia5306.html
