What Stayed on Your Lips - Lipstick or Bacteria?

Health & Fitness – Sharing is healing, said Cathy Stone, but she never said that about make-up testers. Share anything, but don't share your cosmetics not even with a friend. You might be sharing body fluids such as a stranger's saliva......

Now even lipstick isn't safe anymore...what's next? Brands don't mean everything. Recently a brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead.

Lead is a chemical, which causes cancer.

After a little research about the same subject.. 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-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.
