Just a quick post... A girl on makeupgeek.com forums posted this thread about lead found it some makeup. Near the bottom it says a few drugstore brands that actually have more lead in makeup than others, so I thought that was a little interesting. Mostly, I'm just posting this for my own reference, hehe. :)

".... However, I would spend much more time worrying about lead in lipsticks than in eyeshadow.Read:http://www.safecosmetics.org/faqs/lipstick.cfm"Does lipstick really contain lead?A: According to independent lab tests initiated by the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, yes, some lipsticks available for sale in 2007 contain lead. The report, “A Poison Kiss,” names the brands tested and the levels of lead found in them. More than half of 33 top-brand lipsticks tested (61%) contained detectable levels of lead, with levels ranging from 0.03 to 0.65 parts per million (ppm). One-third of the lipsticks exceeded the 0.1 ppm FDA lead limit for candy – a standard established to protect children from directly ingesting lead. Among the brands tested found to have the highest lead levels were L’Oreal, Cover Girl and Christian Dior – showing that the more expensive brands are no safer than drugstore brands." "
