Blondelle posted a couple of days ago that in this ARTICLE 8 out of 10 cosmetic items purchased of ebay and amazon were found to be counterfeit (perfect counterfeits as far as the eye could see). All were found to contain toxic componds: high levels of mercury, arsenic, cooper and others resulting in temp0orary to permanent and serious skin problems.

I am bumping this up for those who may not have seen this when it was originally posted. AND for those who are consciously hiding their heads in the sand regarding these matters because, well,... it is convenient to ignore and is perhaps seen as an attack on their buying or selling methods. This ( i.e.attack) is the furthest thing from my mind - what I want to do is merely to pass along this information for others to be aware and to make informed and considered choices. WE need to be informed consumers and protect each other.

I trust that is fine with you Blondelle that I am bumping this back up? I thought the information was too important to pass up. I seem to recall that a number of posters replied but this is the only thread I could find. There were also news video links provided. Have these been deleted/poofed? (By the way, doing a search using the Community Forum search engine is frustrating!)

I am adding another article HERE from the US. There were also News Videos which were from the UK and Australia posted previousy which depicted high levels or mercury, arsenic etc in mascara, creams etc. I have yet to find those news reels. However, here is another ARTICLE from the UK.
