Make up sensitivities- Boot's No7

When it comes to cleaning, personal care products and make up-  I have spent my entire life as a lab rat.  I have sensitive skin and am continuously having reactions to products and throwing purchased items in the garbage can.  The purpose of this blog is to share my experiences with others and give up dates as to what I find that works well and what has gone on the "No Good" list.

Boot's No7  from Target-  this line is from the Boot's  pharmacy store chain in the UK.  I kept seeing the great reviews for the serum and gave it a try, love it. I am currently using the make up wipes, toner, serum along with the day and night skin creams.  I have been happy with the results and the price.  So then I ventured into the make up line.  Have several colors of lip stick, everything is great there, using the blush without issue.
I began to use the mascara and though this was the nicest mascara I had ever used and moved on to the eye shadow,  then I ran into a problem...



In the trash can
Boot's  No7
I was able to use the mascara for a few tubes. Began to use eye shadow with the mascara. Both upper eyelids have become red, sore and inflamed.  Stopped using both for a few days and rash goes away, it comes back if any of the shadow/ mascara items are used. Not able to determine if it is the shadow, mascara or combination of both.  


 Replaced with Almay                                          Have used Almay shadows and mascara in past and never had any problems.
