Drugstore Chic: Physicians Formula Plump Potion Needle-Free Plumping Cocktail

The Physicians Formula staff certainly had a sense of humor when designing the tube in which to house their new gloss, Plump Potion Needle-Free Plumping Cocktail. The tube appears to be a large–almost caricature– syringe. But their intention is to drive home this point: this delectable gloss has super-plumping qualities, enabling a fuller pout, without expensive and painful injections!

I sampled this gloss in “Pink Potion”. I love the ice-princess look this shade imparts. Pink Potions pale shade is a marriage of 60s mod style and magic. This gloss retails for $8.95, be sure to check it out at Physicians Formula website, CVS, Walgreens or a drugstore near you.

Lead In Lipstick?

Thank goodness for consumer advocacy groups. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics tested 33 red lipsticks, and determined 61% had unsafe levels of lead. Offenders included shades by L’Oreal, Cover Girl, and Dior.

What is the deal with all of the lead in consumer products? Do manufacturers not periodically test for lead content? I mean… how expensive could it possibly be? If the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics can afford it, I’m betting L’Oreal certainly could!

Strangely, I had read about this subject before… where lead in lipstick was quickly dismissed as an urban legend, by the FDA! The FDA claims to test every batch of dye produced by manufacturers. Seems unlikely, based on these findings!
