I read that NARS Funny Face lipstick was one of the worst ones. Dangit, I love that color!

I have the Maybelline's Color Sensational Pink Petal... Oh boy. I barely use it but I guess I should stop using it all together now!

Stop being scared, and don't be conned into not using your lipsticks. Seriously. This is something that comes up every so often just to scare people like us.
Lead occurs naturally. You can even find it in blueberries and some candies. The main difference is you actually eat those. You don't eat lipstick.

I wish I could "like" Shelly's comment.
It's like when people were freaking out in the US about the radiation thing from Japan when the earthquake and tsunami happen.
But... I mean, bananas have radiation, so......

It says in the article that the levels are so small that they're not to be worried about. =/

Lipstick has always had lead in it, its nothing new. My grandma has worn lipstick her whole life, she is 75 and lead has never been an issue. Just another scare tactic to amp ppl up.
