They decrease their price of Lipstick from HK$67 to HK$9.9, because they have lead. Please send this information to you friends or your girl friends. Brand Name Contain Lead 1. Christian Dior 4 2.

Market America-Motives lipstick 0 (If the number of lead is high, that means it more easily to cause Cancer) *After this test, we found Y.S.L. lipstick are the most beautiful lipstick when u wear it, but because of contain lots of lead, so it is not easy to "REMOVE". I believe everyone love to wear lipstick, now here is a test that you can do it yourself: 1. Put some lipstick on your hand, 2. Use a 24k-14k Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick. 3. If the lipstick color changed to Black color; it means this lipstick has Lead. Be Smart everyone! When u buy a product, quality is very important. |
