Lip Cancer

Hmm... like that, how to wear bright red lipstick and be a woman?


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.

The brands which contain lead are:

- Chanel (lip conditioner)
- Christian Dior
- Clinique
- Estee Lauder
- Lancome
- Market America-Motnes lipstick (EH? Simi lai eh?)
- Red Earth (lip gloss)
- Shiseido
- Y. S. L.

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.


Well, believe it or not.
