Unfortunately , there’ll ALWAYS be people that choose to cheat and steal to avoid actually ‘ earning ‘ a living …
We bought dozens of products from AliExpress , Amazon , eBay , Walmart and Wish. Over half were suspected fakes …
And some can be a health risk …
Two products — both purchased from AliExpress — contained heavy metal levels exceeding Health Canada’s standards for cosmetics.
The first , Mac Lustre Lipstick in ” Lady Danger ” was confirmed to be counterfeit by parent company Estee Lauder. One big giveaway ? Lady Danger is not one of the brand’s ” lustre ” shades , but rather is part of its matte line of lipsticks.
What’s more , the product was found to contain 751 times the amount of lead Health Canada considers acceptable in cosmetics.
That’s a big concern , says University of Guelph toxicologist Ryan Prosser , because the product goes on the lips and could be easily ingested. ” It’s pretty shocking ” he said.
Exposure to high levels of lead could have an impact on a person’s cognitive ability , he said. It’s an even larger risk for children , who have still developing nervous systems.
