Morning all - bit of an odd one today. Is there, to anybodys knowledge, any truth in this:

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!

(Or in my case, wear lipstick too!)

Recently a brand called "Red Earth" decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer.

(NB - I know Red Earch did recently go bust and reduce their goods in Debenhams... they've wonderful liquid eyeliner which is almost plasticy and doesn't smudge!... ok, back to the questionable alert...)

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. 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.

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.


I'm never sure about such things and whilst I have the time to post this, I've no idea where to look to find out whether or not it's a hoax. Put behind a cut for those of you who detest such things!

Confirmed as a hoax so watch out for it and DON'T pay it any heed if it comes your way!

I especially like this bit...


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.


A breakthrough in modern physics, gold the renowned inert material reacting with lead! Alchemists everywhere take heed :)

And what if it was black lipstick anyway? ;)

Indeed. Now we can go ahead and make purest Green!

And I'm dubious about lead, as a standalone element, being excessively carcinogenic. Lead Chromate is, but in tha case we must stop licking road markings immediately - Quick! get an email out to everyone you know!
