Cosmetics:-        
Hair dyes
Bleaches

This is a little urgent because I have to do a presentation tomorrow.

Hair dyes: Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
Bleaches: Ammonia (NH3)
Creams: In sun creams you have zinc oxide (ZnO)
Make-up: (foundation) Magnesium sulfate (MgSO4)
lipstick:
perfumes:

Paints:
Enamel paints: Neodymium (Nd) as a pigment
Emulsion paints: Made of stuff that doesn?t mix but is stabilized with something else
Gloss paints: titanium oxide (TiO2)
Spray paints: isobutane as a propellant (C4H10) you also have carbon dioxide (CO2).  

A good thing to try would be to grab some of this things look for the ingredients list (on the back or packaging or wherever) then Google something that looks interesting. The formula in brackets will give the chemical composition BTW. Good luck.

Try a Wikipedia or Google search on the compounds listed to give you more info.
