L'Oreal HIP Eyeshadow —
When HIP first came out wth their eyeshadow duos, I was ecstatic. The colors looked amazing and the intensity thrilled me.I ran out at the first BUY ONE GET ONE FREE and purchased the duo called something like Spirit. It had two blues in it- a Sapphire type blue.
I put on a nice heavy eyeshadow base to protect my eyes and put on the shadow as soon as I got a chance. The look was fantastic and I was so happy.
About a half hour later, right as I was snapping photos to show my makeup friends online, my eyes started to burn. After a few more minutes my eyes began to water terribly and then the burning increased.
Quickly I ran into the bathroom and washed it off, but the damage was done.
I have had light reactions occasionally to certain eyeshadows and products, but I have never had ANYTHING this HORRIBLE.
Through the night, my eyes began to be in so much pain that I could not sleep. The best way I can describe it is to say that it was like having a severe migraine on the eyelid!
This extreme pain lasted for three days before I could sleep again.
No matter what I did the pain would not go away for those three days.
About three weeks later, I began to experience my eyelids peeling on the outside. Every three weeks or so they would peel for about 6 months, each time getting lighter and lighter in the peeling until all of that old skin had been renewed.
I know that it was the HIP shadow, because I tried it on a small patch of skin again and within minutes it started to burn so I took it right off before damage would be done.
HOW DID LOREAL RESPOND?
I sent a very upset letter to LOREAL TWICE and I did not even get a reply.
From that point on, I buy few things from LOREAL, except for lip products now and then.
The complete lack of concern by Loreal over and over on this has turned me off of that company in many ways, which is too bad, because I used to be a good customer of theirs.
