You've Got Lipstick on Your Teeth

When you see a woman with lipstick on her teeth, do you tell her? Would you want someone to tell you? That's always such a social dilemma, but more importantly it's a health issue. Do you know that there are significant amounts of lead in most popular brands of lipstick?

Or, is this an urban legend? About once a month I receive the same email that has been circulating on the internet for a few years about nine of the top cosmetic companies whose lipsticks contain lead. There is also the discussion as to what ingredients are in lipsticks to color lips, even if they do not contain lead. And now there are lip volumizers to plump up lips "Angelina Joliestyle". I've been to several spa shows where these lip plumpers are featured and I have sampled them. All I could say is "yuck -I can't wait to get this off my lips!". I looked at the ingredients and read the many names of petrochemicals and dyes. And then I see essential oils (probably industrial rather than medicinal quality) listed. I thought - "Why not make my own with my organic ingredients?"

So here's what I did - mixed some of Young Living's Rose Ointment (which feels wonderful on the lips anyway) with the tiniest amount of cinnamon (I touch the "lip" of the bottle with my finger and dab together in my palm with Rose Ointment). A desirable tingling sensation occurs from the blood and oxygen that this brings to the lips for a nice naturally red plumped pout! Licking the lips is an added benefit, getting the immune stimulating effects of the therapeutic oils both inside and outside of the body. One of Gary Young's mottos about personal care products is "if you can't eat it, don't wear it".
