PLEASE read this....

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

Good I am glad!!

So, pucker up and know you are safe in using your favorite shade of lipstick.

That scared me for a second. Good thing right now I am only wearing chapstick with this ARCTIC FREEzE that we are having.

WOW is this true??

No, it's not. Just because you see it in an e-mail, it doesn't make it true. I mean, how many 'Little Bobby's can there be in the world who all have cancer and all whose dying wish is to break the Guiness World Record for chain letters? (there was one, actually, and he died about 15 years ago, btw).

From the American Cancer Society:

Lipstick and Lead

Rumor:
In May 2003, an email began making the rounds claiming that many of the most popular lipsticks on the market contain lead and will cause cancer. The email then offers a way to test lipsticks to see if they have lead.

Fact:
A search of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration Web site finds that lead content of coloring agents used in lipstick is regulated by that agency, and that the levels permitted are not a health problem.
