Anyone Else With Problems With Maybelline Eyeliner?

Has anyone else noticed a sensitivity to Maybelline solid eyeliner? I had used it for years without any reaction. About a month or so ago, my lids started feeling itchy and like there was grit near my lid lines. I thought it was from not removing the makeup at bedtime ;) ....so I got better about taking it off with plain Vaseline. It did not help, so I went bare(not a pretty sight......a co-worker asked me if I was tired!!) After the itch/grit went away, I bought some pricey liner(I sure missed the $5 variety) and the itch stayed away. I thought after a few weeks, I'd retry the Maybelline today and within a half hour the itch/grit came back. Off it went again. I doubt I;ll retry, but I was curious if anyone else has had a similar reaction.

AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE !!!!!!!

Hey mamabear,

Happy New Year to You!

I can't vouch for the eye liner, but I believe that the mascara contains gluten.

I have reactions like that to a lot of pencil eyeliners.

You should check out the Everyday Minerals thread :D

Everyday Minerals has eyeliners you can order for $2.50. It's all natural stuff (just a few ingredients), and doesn't seem to irritate anybody's eyes. It comes in a little pot of powder though....but it's easy to apply and stays on all day.

Your story is so close to my own recent experience! I used Maybelline eyeliner forever, then about two months ago, I began to have an allergic reaction to it. Of course, it took me awhile to figure out, as I had been using it for so long. I now use Almay, which I confirmed was gluten free. My eyes got puffy and itchy and red. It was awful. I hate it when formulas change and we have to suffer.

Did you speak with Almay on the phone? I just spoke with them yesterday, regarding makeup remover pads and eyeliner and they said they could not guarantee it was gluten free.

I don't know about gluten in Maybelline, but many years ago I decided to save money and switch from Revlon to Maybelline mascara; ouch!! that was a disaster. For a couple of years after that I could not wear any mascara, even

the Revlon. Eventually tried Physicians Formula and that was okay. I am not even sure what I'm using now, but it could well be Almay, and have had no problem with it gluten or no. I will never touch another Maybelline product..

I wear the expensive pencil eyeliners from Benefit and the cheap ones from Prestige (made in Germany). I use Cover Girl mascara, but I have to make sure to get the formula with shellac and not wheat protein. I get them when they go on sale 2 for one.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative.

      I see it everyday on my feeds. They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts. I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field. Some days I would just like to scream. So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating...

Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.
