Reflection:
The article was interesting because i didn't know that lipstick has lead too and i know that about 70% of women uses lipsticks. I never knew things like this, i thought that cosmetics are safe. In my opinion, women shouldn't be using so much make up on their face because it contains so much chemicals in them. According to Breslawe, there shouldn't be any lead put on a lipstick that came from soil, water and air. The company and the government should be aware on what they sell to other people because it can cause them side effects and they should care about human health.
