Whether you consume 1 gram or 1 lb or 10lbs, you are still in danger of eating the ridiculous chemicals and metals that the majority of liptsticks still contain - any amount is still to much to avoid long term health issues!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865938336912735295.post-45875113224193776812010-08-11T15:31:48.948-07:002010-08-11T15:31:48.948-07:00It is true we eat a lot of lipsticks on our lifeti...It is true we eat a lot of lipsticks on our lifetime. I found out that when I got the press release from The Body Shop in regards to their new lipstick collection called delipcious as it is 100% food grade (yes, it means you could eat their lipstick with no nasties!!). <br /><br />I'll be uploading a post about it next week at my blog http://thebodyshopfan.blogspot.com<br /><br />Interesting Beauty Addicthttp://thebodyshopfan.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865938336912735295.post-79756634405900840422010-08-07T04:23:39.785-07:002010-08-07T04:23:39.785-07:00Good point, I think I had always assumed that some...Good point, I think I had always assumed that someone had just proven this "fact". Though I think we definitely need to incorporate lipgloss and balm into the equation (even though they're generally left out of this myth) because I apply lipgloss and balm a billion times a day!SilhouetteScreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958299527498383584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5865938336912735295.post-33485212734296287062010-08-05T04:37:35.809-07:002010-08-05T04:37:35.809-07:00Wow what an interesting post.

And all these estimates are given that you eat 100% of the lipstick you apply to your lips, which is not true either!!!!
