Nut free makeup and toiletries!

Hello folks, 

I have had quite a few messages on twitter and on here to discuss nut free makeup and the makeup I use in day to day life! So I thought as a lover of make up and everything girlie. I would discuss what I use and what I've discovered to be allergy free 😊 being a sufferer of exzema and skin allergies I have to be careful about my use of products! 

Basics : personally I do not wear foundation or powder. My skin tends to get sensitive to those sort of products.

Eyeliner: Rimmel , 2true or Avon glimmer stick! Are the 3 types I use for my eyeliner. I tend to wear quite a lot of black eyeliner so I go through it quickly. So I tend to stick with 2true from superdrug. As they are £1.99 or 3 for £5.00. They also come in a range of colours! I only use pencil eyeliner as liquid makes my eyes go all puffy! 

Mascara: I use Avon mascaras as I have found that Avon do a lot of excellent allergy tested makeup! I use super shock or long lashes! Not sure how much they are as for Christmas I get a few and collect them for the year! 

Eyebrows: also again I use 2true. As they have clear ingredients on them! It's a 2true brown eyebrow pencil and comes with a brush to even your eyebrows out also £1.99 from SuperDrug also available for 3 for a £5.00. 

Fake eyelashes: again this is also available from 2true and I haven't had any problems with the glue reacting my skin. 3 for a £5.00 and can be warn many times over! 

Okay so there are my eyes ! 

Blusher: collection 2000 4 coloured palet my sister brought me this for my birthday bless her! They are amazing also available at SuperDrug ! 

Lipsticks: Also collection 2000 as they have the ingredients listed on them! They come in a pink case and I have tried : tea rose, cherry pop and a dark red one! They all seem to contain the same ingredients and are brilliant for everyday wear especially tea rose as its a light coloured lipstick. Also £1.99 each! 

Okay so that's all I wear in regards to makeup! As I don't wear any foundation or powder as my skin gets quite dry due to my exzema! 

Makeup wipes: I use wilkinsons basic baby whipes these work a treat as they are for sensitive skin and can be used on your eyes. As I wear so much black makeup it gets everywhere and can be used to remove most makeup. Roughly 70p for a pack and last a good month you cannot go wrong! 

Shampoo: I use simple shampoo! Due to the fact it is the shampoo with the least amount of ingredients for sensitive skin and also a lot of shampoos have almonds in them so I stick to this one.

Skin care: I have tried many a cream , ointment and steroid on my skin over the years. The only cream that seems to work is after sun due to its moisturising abilities. It is boots after sun with coacoa butter. It comes in a blue bottle. It is quite expensive but it is totally worth it ! My exzema is hardly there anymore and it's thanks to this cream :)

I know it's stupid but toothpaste: I use Asda green one ! Can't remember it's name but it is the only one I trust! It's 49p for a tube and is brilliant! 

Hope you have enjoyed my blog today! Being all Girlie sorry boys! 

Happy makeovers

Love

My nut allergy and my background

Hey so I thought new year and I realised I haven't explained my nut allergy how or why I got it. Issues that concern me and being at university with a nut allergy so here goes!

I have suffered from asthma, exzema and hayfaver and other allergies from a young age! When I was little I couldn't drink regular milk due to having serious exzema which made it worse so had to drink soya milk. Also discovering I was allergic to animal hair, grass, dust and pollen.

So I basically from a young age about 5 years old I would eat peanuts and my throat would have a funny taste! Kind of like mentally. So my mum automatically assumed I had some sort of intolerance to nuts peanuts so I wasn't fed nuts or peanuts that often. But I clearly remember eating them and being okay... When I was 9 I ate a chocolate that was next to a peanut in a packet of nuts chocolates and raisans. My lips and throat started to swell up and I had to be rushed to hospital. After that I was given an epi pen and sent for further allergy tests!

I found out I was allergic to animal hair, dust , grass, pollen, tree nuts, peanuts and mixed nuts.

Recently I have discovered I am allergic to cherries and sweet corn !

Allergies run in my family with my mum, dad and both sides of the family suffering from that!

I basically have this nut allergy due to some research I did because either of two things... I drank soya as a baby which puts your risk up of developing a nut allergy and also I was given exzema cream that ha subsequently seen many people develop nut allergies!

If you want to share your peanut allergy allergy stories then please do ..

Hopefully I can help people find more foods and try and live a nut free lifestyle but its really difficult especially at uni to remove yourself totally from that environment! Nuts are In a lot of things!

Lots of love
