The answer about lead in lipstick from my young, smart, non-lipstick wearing friend.
because i did NOT know the answer, i did some research. most of the concern for lead in lipstick comes from an email claiming that it [lead in lipstick] causes cancer... while it is true that lead causes cancer, as well as birth defects in children, the amount of lead concentrated within the person would have to be extremely high (if you are working with lead every day *batteries or old paint* or have been shot with several lead bullets that cannot be removed, you are at risk) :) lipstick may contain trace amounts of lead, but the FDA and other health commissions do not believe these trace amounts of lead are enough to cause cancer. truth be told, everything is rumored to cause cancer... but in this case, i don't think longer lasting lipsticks (or hair dye *known to contain lead*) are the culprit.
There will be a change in subject soon, I promise.

Thanks for the follow up. I thought your long lasting lipstick was a great color today at lunch!! Thanks for the topic.
Your friend,

Hey Wendy! That's right, I forgot about the lead issue. I know that Arbonne does not have lead in their lipstick. Not-for-nothing, guess who is a relatively new consultant for Arbonne?? No, no I'm not doing home shows again. Just one of those if you need it I can get it for you things. God's got other plans for me right now.
Love, Dawn
Enjoyed learning about lipstick - this girl's best freind. I will not part with mine - not ever! It makes me happy.
Hey Wendy #345,
Thanks for the info on lipstick. Unfortunately even more of a problem for me than keeping it on my lips is keeping it where I can find it! I lose it all the time!
and you know I'm just joking about the #345 part...you'll always be #1 to me, just don't tell the other Wendy:) (hope she's not reading, if she is, I didn't mean it Wendy B)
Love you,
Melissa
