Beware women! These 5 make-up products can kill you, contain deadly superbugs

The relatively new beauty blenders - sponges used to apply skin foundation products - were found to have the highest levels of potentially harmful bacteria, with the vast majority (93 percent) not having ever been cleaned the researchers said. This was despite more than two thirds (64 percent) of beauty blenders being dropped on the floor at some point during use, they said. The study is the first to look at beauty blender products, which are hugely popular make-up sponges used to blend foundation and contouring on the face, the researchers said. Often endorsed by celebrities, these sponges are estimated to have sold over 6.5 million worldwide, according to the researchers.
