jebbypalWhen really irritating eye itchiness/uncomfortableness accompanies any product on your face (or hands), odds are, you are allergic.
Seriously, the soy sensitivity is almost more annoying than corn for face products since everyone wants to put tocopherols (vitamin e) into their products and it's generally from soy (unless it's from corn). Finally decided that the ZuZu Luxe makeup was being more trouble than it's worth when someone posted about another couple of mineral based cosmetics companies. Have tried the Signature Minerals samples twice now (once at home all day, then yesterday when sight seeing) and so far am very impressed. A little difficult to get used to a powder foundation since I'm used to liquid based ones always, but I think I'm getting the hang of it (at least, I don't notice anyone pointing and laughing and don't appear to look like Mimi). And it is relatively water proof based on the soaking I got yesterday.
(and no, I don't think it had any relation to the migraine from hell.)
