Some of the major brands tested were :
-L’Oreal Colour Riche “True Red”
-L’Oreal Colour Riche “Classic Wine”
-Cover Girl Incredifull Lipcolor “Maximum Red”
-Dior Addict “Positive Red”
Lead is an extremely toxic substance that has been known to cause health problems. After continued use of these lipsticks, the amount of lead builds up in the body and can cause major problems. The question is why have lead in makeup anyway?
