Lipstick Alert!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there is a female you care anything about, share this with her. I
did!!!!!
I am also sharing this with the males on my email list, because they
need
to tell the females THEY care about as well!

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:

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.
lipstickcontained the most amount of lead.

Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If
yourlipstick 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.

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

This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center

Dioxin Carcinogens causes cancer, especially breast cancer.

Hi Hazlinh, I'm afraid that's a hoax which has been doing the rounds since 2003. If you google "lipstick alert", and check out the hoax slayer or urban legends sites it'll give you more info. On the upside you don't need to bin all your lippy.

oh. phew.
:-)

And I don't ever remember Read Earth being that price - it is a cheaper brand!

Red Earth even!
