I received this in my e-mail box and thought I would share this info!!

    This comes from someone who works in the breast cancer unit at Mt.
    Sinai Hospital, in Toronto.
               From: Dr. Nahid Neman

>>    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 lipstick brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices
>>     From $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a
>>    chemical which causes cancer. The lipstick Brands that 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.

Here's a simple test to try to see if there is lead in you lipstick.
            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.
