Lipstick & Cancer.
Thursday, November 15, 2007

Found this piece of information very interesting and it goes out to all the vain pot girls out there too. Haha.
Recently a lipstick brand called "Red Earth", decreased their prices from
$67 to $9.90. Like wtf? Mainly the reason behind it was because that lipstick 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. Haha!
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's the test you can do yourself,
1st. Put some lipstick on your hand.
2nd. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3rd. If the lipstick colour changes to black,
then you know the lipstick contains lead.
Hoho! Cool shit isn't it? Girls out there, beware of CANCER!
