This is an excellent website. I was curious to know, if anyone else has had an allergic reaction to Laura Mercier's eye basics. A couple of months ago, I tried the eye basics and I noticed that after a couple of days the skin directly below my eyebrows on one side was scaly, red and a bit sensitive. I stopped using it, but was not sure, as I had also just started using Make up forever Primer. However, I started to use it again, along with the Laura Mercier primer. Now, the skin below one eyebrow has the same sypmtons.
I'm sure all the girls at Laura Mercier counters in Dept. stores will deny that it is one of their products. Yesterday, I met a make up consultant at Shisheido, who works for a few companies, and used to work for L. Mercier, who also said, that she experienced the same problems. She recommended an eye base from a completely different company. I'm sure that the Laura Mericier primer is not the culprit, as my cheeks and forehead are clear.
FYI: I have very sensitive skin, glycolic peels, salicylic acid etc., do not suit me at all. I had a reaction to Clinique's toner for sensitive skin.
I'm also a bit curious about Gluten allergies. My mother grew up eating wheat, infact her father and brothers etc. were/are wheat farmers, a couple of years ago, she was very sick, and after innumerable visits and tests to different Doctors on different continents, she was diagonosed with Gluten allergy. Is this allergy genetic? Why did it not bother her for the first 65 years of her life? Is it something, I should be careful of?
Any feed back would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
