Received this shocking mail from a friend so intend to share with the girls...check it OUt~!!
Brands don't mean everything... Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.
Recently a 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.
Please send this information to all your girl friends.
