Eye Stye Warning!
Ok, please listen up ladies! Maybe you are already familiar with eye styes, but I wasn't so I have to assume most people aren't! I had heard of them, but had no idea they could be so problematic. My original stye started way back in June, right before my birthday... this thing was horrible looking, my eyelid was all swollen and gross. I went to the doc to see if there was anyway to get rid of it prior to my bid day. He gave me antibiotics and some cream for it. For some crazy reason it did go away for my b-day.... but came back with revenge a few days later! Not only was my lid swollen, my entire face from cheek bone to brow bone was swollen. My eye was this tiny sliver.. so not cute. Well, finally it went away, but left behind hard bump where it had been, which totally changed the shape of that one eyelid. A few weeks ago at a normal eye exam the doctor looked at it and said they could remove it but if it didn't bother me it was fine to leave there. WELL two days after that visit it flared up AGAIN! Now this time it formed this pimple like thing... gross I know! Finally it did burt on its own (I was doing at least 4 hot compresses a day!) but now I have this weird wound looking thing on my lid.. once again sooo not cute! They say it could take a few weeks to completely heal! Worst of all, I can't wear ANY eye makeup until it has healed! Who knew this could be such a production? So bottom line is this... every night (no matter how tired you are) you need to remove ALL your eye make-up and clean around your eye area as well! These horrible little things are caused by clogged oil glands on your lash line! Also, they suggest changing out your mascara a little more often than normal, since sooo much bacteria lives in a tube. Trust me, you don't want one of these... and from what I have read, once you get them you are more apt to get them again!

So maybe if you had listened to what I have ALWAYS told you in the first place, you wouldn't have a sty! Wash off your make-up before you go to bed! Lesson learned.
Yes Jamie, yes, ALWAYS wash off the make up before bed!! Esp. your EYE make up!! Lesson learned, again. I have always been a freak about that, and about my mascara too. I throw it out after 3 months. Even if there is still some in the tube, it is trash. And I usually have three different tubes that I use for three months too so that one doesn't get totally disgusting. It's a good excuse to have three different brands at all times! A little Dior, some Este Lauder, and perhaps your standard MAC!
Good luck with the stye issues!
I know I know... I should have listened! So, I am sure I'm not currently the best spokesperson for eye make up, but Chanel Cils A Cils is hands down the best mascara ever, you must try it Genny!
OOOH, really? It's called cils a cils? I for sure will be needing it! I am always trying new ones with the hopes that one brand one day will make it look like I am wearing false lashes, without having to really wear false lashes. You have great eyelashes though. Very long. I wish. But I will try that one by Chanel. If Coco made it, how can it be bad?
