Re: Fwd: Lipsticks containing lead...

[Guest guest]

Thank you ,

And I have been using Clinique lipsticks and makeups for decades...

about every day.

Hohly Gee!

Not to mention my many ignorant uses of the microwave with plastics

and the whole bit.

Yech.

THANKS AGAIN,

Janie

Dear Janie,

Someone sent me email claiming this information is a " hoax. "

I guess you can't believe everything you read is true.

Hope you are doing well,

Best,

[Guest guest]

I hardly ever use lipstick so this won't be a problem for me but I am

glad to get the information. Did you check this out to see if this is

true or not? I will pass it on to my friends so they will know.

Thanks. Doris
