Totally, i got an e-mail to watch out for lipstick. Here, I copy and pasted it below.
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 Nema
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:
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 cause cancer, especially breast cancer .

Most makeup that come from Mexico and India will contain lead in it. Just recently some marykate/ashley brand makeup was pulled from the shelves because of lead.. alot of people think that most things are "fda regulated" you'd be suprised of how many things DO contain high levels of lead. Most vitimans contain lead as well.

Like 2 months ago I read an article that said that brands like Lancome, Dior, Chanel and Clinique have lots of lead on their makeup. They said, the more expensive the product is, the more lead it has, and the only brand of expensive makeup that was free of lead was MAC. Cheaper brands like Covergirl and Maybelline, are also free od lead.

There may be some foreign brands. But the legal brands sold in the US are FDA approved and safe.

Not any legally produced and sold in the U.S. This is an urban legend from years ago. Read about it here:

Expensive brands have led it it, but MAC doesn't.
If you just go to your drugstore maybelline and cover girl are led free
