To all ladies and their relatives if you or your friend is using lipstick/lipgloss then beware of LEAD it is a carsinogenic element(Dioxin Carcinogen) that is it might cause CANSER . So how to check if your lipstick/gloss has lead or not : 1. Apply some of the lipstick in your palm. 2. Use a gold ring to scratch the lipstick/gloss. 3. If the lipstick changes its colour to black & the lipgloss to brown/blue , then be sure it has lead. This message was broadcasted by Walter Reed Army Medical Center. So i felt its my moral duty to let my friends know about it , hope you also do the same.

I don't know if there is any lead in my lipstick. But I am sure that will only be the fact if you buy some cheap brands. I don't think if you buy a good brand so to say the lipstick will cost you more than $10 I suppose there will be no lead into it. I personally don't eat my lipstick puts it only on to my lips so I guess the risks aren't that high.
