fyi,
Tested. Avon lipstick turned black. Lancome did not.
You may try other brands, too.
Take precautions....
One for the girls, though guys you might like to pass it on to family
and friends.
Brands don't mean everything... This is how to test Lipstick for "Lead".
Lead is a chemical which causes cancer. Recentlya brand called,
"Red Earth"
decreased their prices from HK$67 to HK$9.9.......... It contained lead.
The Brands which contain Lead are:
> > >1. Christian Dior
> > >2. LANCOME
> > >3. CLINIQUE
> > >4. Y.S.L
> > >5. ESTEE LAUDER
> > >6. SHISEIDO
> > >7. RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
> > >8. CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
> > >9. Market America-Motives 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 24k-14k Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick.
3. If the lipstick color changes to black then you know the lipstick contains lead.
