11I knew about the boiled insects, but gosh... I did really bad on this quiz. I don't think boiled insects are that bad, especially when you imagine what else they could be putting in our products.
12I clearly know nothing about lipstick!
13Wow, that was interesting!

Boiled insects......?
15I got a zero. I will never wear red lipstick again. Yuck!
16Wow...boiled insects?! Hmmm, makes me think about wearing red again.
17yay 1 right guess
18i remember reading sumwhere dat fish scales are used in makin lipsticks??
1 out of 6.. ouch!
19I bottomed out on that one. Very cute test though.
20I was horrible. But I totally understand the recession answer.
21Demonkitty 18, you're right — fish scales have been used in lipsticks to give them that "pearly" finish. But I got sneaky and asked about the color of red lipstick.
To all of you who are squidged out about the beetles... hate to tell you this, but it's in a lot of our food, too. The dye is called Carmine, but a lot of times it's listed as "natural coloring." And while it *is* natural, it's also a bit gross!
22that was some interesting shizzz... boiled insects????? ewwwww.
232/6..wait..boiled insects?!!! Do they still use it now?
24I tanked this quiz!lol. I only got one right and it was the one about the boiled bugs! sooo gross!
25Interesting quiz, but I think I'd have rather remained ignorant about the methods used to make lipstick red, lol
Eeew.
26The boiled insects question is the only one I knew!
27wow I got 4 outta 6. not surprising thouugh, I'm a complete lip color 'ho!
283/6 mmhh not bad...
29I love red lips but I make sure it has been made with plants here is the other thing lip colors have ...cow fat! All good to know.
30Boiled insects rule!!
31I wear lipstick daily, knew about the insects, knew little else. Shame on me.
32boiled insect.......? I don't think i'll be using any red lipstick anymore...or at least for awhile. But is the insect also used for nude lipstick?
33This was hard. I got 50% correctly, still:).
34Well, I like lip gloss. I don't know much about lipstick.
