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.

      Am I nuts?

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.

      You might consider asking for a referral to a RD (Registered Dietician) to help with food choices and planning a diet. Even apart from any gluten issues, you will likely find there are some foods you need to avoid because of the shorter bowel but you may also find that your system may make adjustments over time and that symptoms may improve.

      I wish Dr’s would have these discussions with their patients. So frustrating but will continue to do research. Absolutely love this website. I will post any updates on my testing and results. Thank you

      Losing 12" of your small bowel is going to present challenges for you in nutritional uptake because you are losing a significant amount of nutritional absorption surface area. You will need to focus on consuming foods that are nutritionally dense and also probably look at some good supplements. If indeed you are having issues with gluten you will need to educate yourself as to how gluten is hidden in the food supply. There's more to it than just avoiding the major sources of gluten like bread and pasta. It is hidden in so many things you would never expect to find it in like canned tomato soup and soy sauce just to name a few. It can be in pills and medications.  Also, your "yellow diarrhea, constipation and bloating" though these are classic signs of a gluten disorder, could also be related to the post surgical shorter length of your small bowel causing incomplete processing/digestion of food.
