dr.hauschka's translucent make-up 01
i have a terrible allergic reaction + this is my 2nd. i bought this make up a couple months ago at a fancy healthfood pharmacy. i've seen dr.hauschka products many times at whole foods (i practically live at various whole foods markets). one day, when mod*tot had just started nursery school i decided to browse around + treat myself to some products to make me look + feel better. a woman applied this + some eye + lip stuff. i thought it looked pretty natural. i bought it + forgot it for a month. then one day i noticed it in my purse + put some on in the car. it's very sheer + i'm not sure if it does anything or it's just a mental boost. anyway, 2 days later, my lips started burning around the edges + i thought it must be some salty crackers i'd eaten, better remember low sodium. the burning intensified + spread over my chin + cheeks. it was puffy + itchy, but not red. i wondered if my daughter contracted something at nursery school. after 3 days of burning pain i went to a doctor who said it was contact dermititis aka an allergic reaction to something applied to my face. i figured it was the makeup or maybe a grapefruit i ate or those crackers or my daughter's sunblock?
i waited 3 weeks for my face to clear (i didn't apply cortisone like directed). then i took the make up to the store + asked what might be in there to cause this allergy. the woman said it's probably not the make up. try it again. i wanted to believe her + keep the make up, so i dabbed some under my eyes + 2 days later woke up with horribly swollen eyelids + under eyes almost shut my eyes + a week later they're still burning + puffy. then this weekend i walked straight into the end of our apricot tree branch + barely missed poking my eye out, so please bear with me.
