LIPSTICK OH LIPSTICK .....


Just now I've received an email from a friend.... as usual, it has been forwarded from a person to another....
It concern to me a lot... coz one of our ex-colleague passed away because of cancer.... Anyway... the email sounds as below :



LIPSTIK INFORMATION

Something to consider...
Next time you go shopping for * LIPSTICK *
This comes from someone
Who works in the breast cancer unit at
Mt. Sinai Hospital, in Toronto.

From :
Dr. Nahid Neman


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 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:
CHRISTIAN DIOR
LANCヤME
CLINIQUE
Y.S.L
ESTEE LAUDER
SHISEIDO
RED EARTH (Lip Gloss)
CHANEL (Lip Conditioner)
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 colour 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 Centre.

**Dioxin Carcinogens cause cancer,
Especially breast cancer



After reading the email... I look for further info via the internet and I came across to this link :

Well ... do surf the link if you want to know the info that I've found.

It leaves me in total BLANK!

To all females out there ... what are your concern.... of course cosmetic helps us to look better heh?

  1. Thank you for this useful information. Now, I am really going to think twice first before putting up a lipstick. Maybe a 'red asam' can be a good option for a red lip....now, is this hilarious or what?

  2. Hi honeybuzz... well this may be the main reason why women are at high risk of getting cancer... we put so many cosmetic ... ( only to look prettier ...mangkali lah! he..he..)
    Anyway... we should start looking for an alternative ... red asam maybe one option...or we just could press our lips together more often to get the right red colour... he...he...

  3. Hi, I am not to sure about this, but I guess everything should be done moderately and not going overboard.
    Best regards and keep a song in your heart, Lee.
