Suddenly allergic to my mascara

    I've been wearin Yves Saint Laurent Masara for the last few years. It really is the best for making your eyelashes thick and long and I love it! The problem is, recently my eyes have been reacting badly to it (red, sore and puffy). This has happened whenever I've worn it for long periods over the last few weeks. Now, the tube is fairly new so I don't think that's the problem. I think I have to resign myself to the fact that I can't wear it anymore! :(

    So, I'll need to go out an buy myself a new one. Does anyone have and suggestions/favourites that will make my eyelashes look great but are for more sensitive eyes?

    Was it just a reaction to this particular tube? Maybe there's something wrong with the chemicals in that tube?

    Otherwise, I have very sensitive eyes and I use Lancome Mascara - find it very good especially amplicils.

    If it's very new, I'd return it and say you're allergic and ask for a new tube. I find cosmetics counters really good at taking returns on used items. I returned a face cream cos I was allergic to it, and another one because it had a really odd smell. There was no problem with either.
    Sometimes the batch might jsut have been funny, so make sure if you buy a new one you get it from a different counter, in case it's the same batch.

    If you do decide to try a new mascara, I'd recommend Max Factor's Masterpiece (but not the MAX version). I used to have YSL and Masterpiece is much much better.

    Thanks for the suggestions. It's not very new, I bought it in the airport about 2 months ago so I can't really return it. I've stopped wearing make up to work recently so am only wearing my mascara on nights out/occasionally during the week so am not noticing it that much. i was out on Saturday night so had loads of mascara on (obviously) and my eyes are still hurting today. It may be the tube I have but I think I'll give Dudara's suggestion a try.

    Sounds like the mascara could have gone off, they only last for about 3 months anyway. Also pumping the brush up and down in the tube before putting it on can shorten the life of mascara, air gets in and adds bacteria. If you want to try a new mascara, try Diorshow, I've got sensitive skin and cheaper stuff makes me look like I've been sniffing onions. Makes your eyelashes look great :)
