May the good Lord see you through your journey. God bless your helper. Sandy yo, come in here! I did the test on four different gold rings and it all came out negative. Mind you, one of the lipstick (CD) is the oldest among the five lipsticks I tried; I bought it last year. As for the other four, which are clinique and Estee Lauder, I got them this past may. So, there's no lead in my lipsticks.
