I think I'm allergic to Bismuth Oxychloride in Mineral Make-Up EYES SWOLLEN?
I bought some new Bare Mineral eyeshawdow (been using for 5 years) & woke up the next morning looking like Quazimoto w/my eyes swollen almost completely shut. Of course, I stopped using, but continued using mineral powder for face & cheeks & base for eyes to give color. However since that day (2 weeks ago) my eyes have not recovered...they don't swell shut, but are constantly irritated & now have dry itchy puffy skin all around my eyes...I can't do anything w/them & look like I've been crying all day (& inside I am..I love make-up) I'm about to go to the optometrist & pay mucho dinero $$$, but I've bee researching online & found that maybe I'm suddenly highly allergic to Bismuth Oxychloride. I went to my make-up drawer & found that my blush, eyeshadow, bronzers all contain this ingredient & maybe that's why my eyes aren't recovering. It could also be mica, but that doesn't seem like as common as an irritant as Bis-Oxy. There's also high pollen in my area & allergies are out of whack this season which doesn't help. I'm suffering here & don't know what to do!!! Has anyone else out there had this reaction or could it be something more serious & I just need professional (expensive) help.:(***
