this look almost killed me

[Rising Phoenix]

I had an allergic reaction to the eye makeup.....something I have previously been able to wear. Swollen face, throat, lips. shallow breathing, hives..........you can already see some of the symptoms in the pic.......quickly washed it off, but am still in recovery.......jeebus

I just bought a book called Allergic to the twentieth century...........it a little old, but the price was right......lol

and a good derm who assured me I wasn't dying. :hug:

8. Have you looked into DIY skincare and cosmetics?

Some women are putting together their own formulations once they know what ingredients they are allergic to.

I like the stuff on this website... www. skinactives.com. There's another DUer, lildreamer316 I believe, who has explored DIY skin care and cosmetics. She mentioned a website called makeupalley.com that has a lot of resources.
