Makeup question - mascara for sensitive eyes
Posted By: DW on 2007-12-22
In Reply to:
I don't wear makeup every day, but I do on the rare occasion that I go out. It seems like my mascara has been really irritating my eyes lately when I wear it. I've tried a couple different brands, but they all seem to do it. My eyes get dry and itchy and I've been getting little annoying styes. Can anyone with sensitive eyes or contacts recommend a mascara that doesn't irritate your eyes? Thanks!!

I'm just curious. Do you wear makeup. I use makeup
to enhance what God gave me. Just curious. 
mascara deal for $125
Lots of earlier posts regarding the high cost of cosmetics. I got an ad from Ulta - use the coupons sometimes. The shocker for me was the $125 mascara. In this economy, is anyone really buying this? I think these companies selling this junk are going to have to get real. The way things are going I have to work 20 hours to make $125. Any chance I'm going to blow it on mascara?
You know mascara is made with bat poop, right? nm

crazy stuff! Who buys this? My mascara costs $ 4.-- to $ 8.--.nm

I think you need to be a little more sensitive.
People grieve in different ways and just because she never got to hold her baby doesn't make her grief or pain any less. There is a time and place for the dust yourself off and get back on the horse type of thinking. I don't think this is it.
sensitive teeth
Is there a baking soda toothpaste out there that might work? Is baking soda mild on your teeth?
No, I don't think so. Too sensitive? You can't say things like sm
you did (which was so rude and, well,I won't say it) by the way, but just MHO,and then say, "gee, some people are so sensitive!"
This is a sensitive subject, but is anyone else SM
Tired of the commercials advertising products for feminine odor? I just heard this again several times yesterday and it is degrading. If anyone has an odor bad enough that you are offending others there is a simple remedy . . it's called soap and water. Is it me, or is that disrespectful to women? Why don't we discuss some of the more delicate matters regarding men on TV? I could name a few. 
Quit being so sensitive...nm

Loved Montego Bay but I have very sensitive
nose. I would certainly return there but only with a clothes pin. I think toiletries such as soap and deodorant might be an expensive thing to buy on the island.
Cats are very sensitive to gas smell
It wouldn't hurt to have it checked. They always have stories on the news of how animals(cats especially) save people from gas leaks when the people had no idea there was one.
Have you tried Crest for sensitive teeth?
I used it and it tastes just like regular toothpaste. May want to give it a try.
I am nearly as bad as he sounds as far as having highly sensitive skin -
I get a red, itchy welt if a mosquito even lands on me. I have also been bitten by horseflies. My doc has recommended just Benadryl lotion on the offending bite and then 2 of the pills. I also put ice on my skin to help with the swelling and itching. You might try this before you take him in. Best of luck. :-)
Ohh, Cetaphil, try their soap for dry and sensitive skin!
Wonderful products!
This is me and my makeup
No mtter how much money I have or have had, I always feel like I am almost in the soup line. I have worked since I was in high school. I never wanted to be on welfare and I guess this accounts for my work ethics. If I were to win a lottery now I doubt that I could give my job up - lot of people do not understand this but this is just how I feel. I always have the mentality of not having enough money although realistically this is not the case- just my feelings. I would think it is sorta like how an anorexic person is- they are skin and bones yet think they are fat? I have enough money but since in school just think I need to always work and make more.
Any suggestions on a MILD toothpaste for sensitive teeth?
Seems like every toothpaste on the shelf any more has MAXIMUM strength this, that, and the other thing. Well, some of that stuff irritates the heck out of my mouth and gums.
I'm currently using Sensodyne but it a) tastes nasty and b) irritates my mouth.
Any suggestions? TIA.
Prescriptives makeup
 Does anyone use this makeup? If so, what is your opinion? Thanks!
He has darkened them with makeup
that's why they look so odd.
mineral makeup
Just wanted those of you who were interested awhile ago (back in early November??) that Mary Kay's new line of mineral make-up foundation is now available!!! I tried it and it is GREAT!!
Clotrimizole cream and Dove sensitive skin deod. nm

The older you are, the lighter the makeup. SM
That Bare Ecentials brand is good. Looks natural, but covers flaws.
I'm using Sally Hansen Spray Makeup. Use a moisturizer first, then spray makeup on sponge. Cover with some light powder and some blush. Really light eyeshadows, since I have circles around eyes. If needed, some eyeliner (not black) and mascara.
Bare Minerals makeup

Pre-teens and makeup question. sm
My DD just turned 13 and I have agreed to allow her to wear basic makeup now. However, she is not applying it appropriately to where I think it looks decent. I am not a big makeup person and all the teens are into this glitter stuff at that. I would like to take her somewhere to really teach her how to apply makeup, select her colors, etc. Does anyone know of a place that does this type of thing and any good recommendations that would help?
Of course it is!!! Makeup is for helping people

Ladies, how did you learn to apply makeup?
How have you changed the way you wear makeup as you have aged? What do you wear and tell me how you apply it? I've never worn makeup except for awhile in high school and I'm thinking that I'm needing some color in my face now that I've aged (what a horrid word that is!!). The thing is, I know NOTHING about it. Tell me everything I need to know so I won't end up looking like a clown!! PLEASE.
I just ordered Bare Minerals makeup.
I've got very uneven skin tones, red blotches, etc. and hope this will help. The money back guarantee sounded good. I see Cover Girl, Maybelline and others are now using the same concept. Any info, thoughts or suggestions? TIA
I use the Virtual Matte Oil Control makeup. It's kind
of expensive, but I don't get a rash or any breakouts using it. It's about 30 bucks.
I just have to brag on this mineral makeup stuff. I bought some from sm
Ulta a few weeks ago - it's the Ulta Brand - cheaper than Bare Minerals. It was around 35.00 for the kit. I think it's called Pure. I got blush medium. LOVE IT!
Right now you can try for free Purity Mineral Science for 7.95 shipping. You get 3 brushes, a gorgeous little bag and 3 products that go together and 3 cosmetic brushes - 2 big ones, 1 small one for concealing.
I ordered it Fri and it came today. Anyways, of course I LOVE IT. But on the piece of paper it stated in small letters: If you decide to keep this kit we will bill you 59.00 and then every 2 months you will receive another set of makeup at a low, low cost of 29.99 every 2 months. Which is an automatic refill kind of thing. I've never done that and I don't like that,so I called to cancel my trial and to see how much it would cost to keep this lovely kit. She said 35.00 allows me to keep the kit and cancel all future memberships, no charges, etc. I am THRILLED!
I have to tell you - I immediately put the makeup on when I got it at 1:00 EST. It is now 4:56 and I still look fresh as ever! I can't believe it. I LOVE it. I love, love, love it.
I have been a Mary Kay user for about 14 years. I love the coverage MK gives, and this gives awesome coverage too!
anyways, husband just called rip roaring mad while I was typing this and he really piss** me off, so I will end this "nice" conversation I was having with ya'll. Just go try some if you've ever been wondering about this stuff.
I like Bare Minerals makeup and Arbonne skin care
I don't like to look like I have makeup on and the Bare Minerals helps me accomplish that. The Arbonne skin care is pricey, but to me well worth it - I took a year break from it and went back! I absolutely love the Sephora website!
Nordstrom.com sells BE Makeup and has faster shipping/ better customer service. ;-) nm

I take a shower before I start work and put on makeup but just wear comfy clothes...
I don't get dressed up or anything...maybe taking a shower before you start working would make you feel better...I can't work if I feel dirty--lol
Good nite! Kelly Pickler equals big boob job, too much makeup, whacked off hair!

Eyes. sm
Does anyone feel there is a film over their eyes and it is very aggravating? Do glare screens help? Anyone? Thanks.
my mom had them in her eyes
just manifesting as pain. but had she waited 1 day longer to seek help, she would have reportedly gone blind. so yes, it CAN be serious.
in most other cases, i think there are residual problems and discomforts.
I had a cat whose eyes did that - the vet said
All in the eyes of the beholder, if you
can make it past the smoke, cough, cough.
It's the eyes - too far apart - I'm perfect!!
I have tears in my eyes. sm
I posted below sparklers on the 4th but your post brought back wonderful memories of the same thing. So many of the places that my mom and I shopped at are now gone. My fav was Kresgies (sp) which had a lunch counter as well as what was probably mostly junk. I always had a grilled cheese. Now a park stands there and my mom would take my daughter and niece there for picnics. I lost my mother also....oh just one more day.
Those beautiful eyes say it all, don't they....

Crying my eyes out, here!
I finally watched the slide show the whole way through and am bawling like a baby.  Geez! What a kid and what a family. They are all in my prayers.
I was crying my eyes out!
Isn't Meryl Streep just the bomb! What an awesome actress!!! She transforms herself into her characters unlike anyone I've ever seen, I just love watching her act.
Look at those BLUE eyes!
Oh wow! I don't think I've ever met a dog with blue eyes before! They are beautiful!
my pets eyes always look like that
when I take their picture. Must be my camera. It has red eye reduction, but I guess it doesn't have evil eye reduction.
Bags under eyes
I am developing huge bags under my eyes and always, always look exhausted. Nothing wrong found at the doctor other than my never ending battle with depression. Photos taken at a wedding this weekend show my eyes to be especially dark at the outside corners-I always look like I've been crying.
Any tried and true remedies to help reduce the puffiness and darkness? I have sensitive, pale skin by the way.
Say they opened your eyes?
Just hope they don’t close them as well, permanently.
The collections under your eyes
could be caused by increased cholesterol. Have you had your cholesterol checked lately? If not I would suggest that as have heard about cholesterol showing up like that under your eyes.
collections under eyes
I was told that years ago but they were white like pimples but you couldn't pop them. These are a little darker than the flesh and not the same. I use to use a pin to clean out the cholestrol ones before I knew what they were. But just in case as soon as I can I am going to get it checked. I couldn't use the statins and they tired something else but it made me fart so bad all day I was an embrassment. So she won't test me. I am going to a new doctor as soon as I can afford it. I think my thyroid is still too low too she didn't do a T3 or T4 just a TSH. I still have symptoms also. Thanks for the reminder.
My kitty has eyes just like his! :)
the cost to see thru the eyes of love....
God bless him is all i can say.
Eyes are important. Why not make
an appointment? If the cause is just allergies and rubbing, maybe they will give you an Rx for allergy drops if eye itchiness is your main problem. Or you could try using an oral antihistamine and avoid rubbing your eyes and see if they improve. Get some Refresh Liquigel lubricant eye drops by Allergan.
As I write this, tears are in my eyes
because my furkids also gift from hubby and I know, really know the love we give these little ones. She had been through so much. You gave her a good home and I am sure did everything to make her life comfortable. I have 2 boys from my gift and 1 is a purrer and the other 1 not but again know I along with others share your sorrow.
