What color of lipstick shade do you love to wear? Do you love the fiesty and fiece look Red lipstick shade or you live the sexy and flirty vibe of a hot Pink lips?
Wait up and read fast and check if your brand of lipstick and shade is lead-free or you might be kissing your death slowly but surely because your lippies have lead in them
An update dating December 5,2011 of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) noted about 400 lipstick brands and shade that have lead content in them. This update was exposed by The Washington Post and Forbes this week by the Campaign fir Safe Cosmetics who worry about the potential harm this may bring to women who wear and swipe listick multiple times a day, some can possibly pregnant women who unwittingly give their unborn child lead poisoning!
That is a scary predicament, right?
I don’t mean to cause you panic, but its better to be safe than sorry. Time to gather all your lippies and see if they are in the list of Lipstick Shades with Lead Content in them:
Top 1-10 Lipstick with Lead Content
1. Maybelline Color Sensational in Pink Petal
2. L’Oréal Colour Riche in Volcanic
3. NARS Semi-Matte in Red Lizard
4. Cover Girl Queen Collection Vibrant Hues Color in Ruby Remix
5. NARS Semi-Matte in Funny Face
6. L’Oréal Colour Riche in Tickled Pink
7. L’Oréal Intensely Moisturizing Lipcolor in Heroic
8. Cover Girl Continuous Color in Warm Brick
9. Maybelline Color Sensational in Mauve Me
10. Stargazer Lipstick in Shade 103
Top 11-20 Lipstick with Lead Content
In short, the FDA study confirms L’Oreal lipsticks are safe. Any lead traces are within the limits recommended by health authorities. http://bit.ly/ypq3mA
I will post the replies of the other brands here as soon as I get them. Meanwhile just make sure not to use thw shades of the brands mentioned and you don’t hve to worry aboit any lead poisoning at all.
To be guided properly I suggest you read more of the FDA list and FAQ on this matter as so not to create confusion or chaos.
Stay gorgeous everyone!
