nope, no contacts. this feels like an eyelash, or a strand of LD's fur, is just irritating the outer corner of my eye/eyelid. Could you have scratched it somehow? |

I'll confidently say no, bc I did actually scratch a cornea in grade school. this was nothing close. as I also said to Mich, I'm already past the irritation, so I think I'll be pitching the new mascara. recommendations welcome, with the allergy caveat on what I actually try. TIA! 😬 |

I've used Maybelline Great Lash in the pink tube forever. I've gotten samples and other more expensive ones and I always return to this one. I think ingredients can shift especially with all the supply chain shortages in the past few years.

first time poster, not even long time lurker. but I have a particular question - do brands change ingredients in their makeup often? I know makeup is FDA regulated here in the US, but the rules/guidelines are a lot different than what i'm used to in pharma. I recently went through all of my makeup and bought new stuff before starting to travel for work again. caveat: I use Mary Kay, Neutrogena, Maybelline, and Almay. I'm not allergic to any of the above. my allergies tend to be line-wide, so if anything in a line is okay, I'm good for all of it. the specific question - the mascara I'd used forever was apparently discontinued since the last time I bought it, so I picked something else by the same brand. I spent Mon/Tues in my flavor of "fully made up" and washed my face after removing makeup both nights. most of yesterday, and all of today, I feel like there's still something in my eye at the corner. last night after removing makeup, I did a full eye flush before I jumped in the shower. I can't find anything in my eye, even still. I'm starting to wonder if it's an allergic reaction to *something* in the new mix. Makeup brands change their formula all the time. Sometimes for the better, sometimes not. Hopefully you feel better soon. |

fair enough. I'm already way less irritated today than when I posted. so I'm leaning it's something with the makeup. so I guess I need to figure out a new mascara for when I need to actually be presentable in something other than pajamas. You can't go wrong with the essence lash princess line. It's so good! And it's $5. I don't have allergies, so take my recommendations with a grain of salt. |

thanks! you might be proud of me. I've been keeping up with a gel manicure* since I went to FL in October. I still dress like trash and don't shower everyday, but I'm also debating a gym membership at the Y literally 2min up the street in that development that keeps getting closer. *I'm not awesome about getting there in a timely manner, but my nails are always presentable these days. I'm trying to get better about self care. b/c it's far too easy to sit around my house in leggings and hoodies. as an adult, I never took baths, until COVID. self care is hugely important! I'm getting there, but the nails thing is actually helping me get there. there are weeks in the summer where I don't leave my house. it's not healthy. *I probably need to be better about the schedule, but....it's still a thing |

I saw that. The Tula sunscreen is my fave. I may have to get a backup. It's really good.
