KISS OF DEATH (RED LIPSTICK )

As everyone knows the color red is a classic when it comes to old hollywood
look. I think just about every woman can pull that look off. A few days ago I saw on the net that FDA have been doing some testing on red lipstick from many brands and what they found that most contained lead. Can you believe it lead. So before you out and put on your favorite red lip stick this is what you should know.

In 2007 the campaign for safe cosmetics ran its own test on 33 red lipstick and found 1/3 exceeded the FDA'S limits. Over time ingestion of theses lipstick would be harmful to our body over time. Lead poisoning can cause low IQ, memory loss, mood disorders and even miscarriage

Here are some of the top 10 lipstick that was found with high levels.

1.Maybelline Color Sensational, Pink petal
2.Loreal Colour Riche,Volcanic
3.Nars Semi-Matt,Red Lizard
4.Cover Girl Queen Collection, Red Remix
5. Nars Semi-Matt, Funny Face
6. Loreal Colour Riche, Tickled Pink
7. Loreal Intensely Moisturizinp Lipstick, Heroic
8. Cove Girl Continuous Clor, Warm Brick
9. Maybelline Color Sensational, Mauve Me
10. Stargazer Lipstick, #103

So before you put on your best red lipstick think for a moment. Is it worth it in the end. Knowing how much danger you might be putting yourself threw just to look beautiful for that one special day. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics says it is impossibles to test everyone of these lipstick on the market there is just too many. The best thing we can do iss support an outright ban on lead.
