Lipstick - women beware

the following is an email i received from my friend today

LIPSTICK INFORMATION:
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 .

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 LANCÔME CLINIQUE Y.S.L ESTEE LAUDER SHISEIDO

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 colour changes to black,
Then you know the lipstick contains lead

Please send this information to all your girlfriends,
Wives and female family members.

Do some research before needlessly causing panic and alarm.
