Ugh, I can relate. I had pink eye over Christmas. It was awful...I cheated and wore my contacts earlier than I was supposed to, though. I just couldn't take it! Once it's over, you will SO appreciate the modern marvel that is the contact lens.

As far as mascara goes...I'm not sure I have any advice. I just use the kind in the pink tube w/ the green or black cap. I had to throw out about $60 worth of eye makeup, so I ended up just getting whatever CVS had. So, if the infection came back I wouldn't be so sad about tossing all my good makeup.

So sorry to hear about your sickly eyeballs. Eye infections are the worst!

I love Dior Show Mascara! It is awesome.

Ok I know this sounds crazy but wear sunglasses inside. It will help your eyes with all the bright light. People thought I was nuts when I had to do this a few years ago in class but my eyes couldn't handle the powerpoint projector in the room. I had pink eye plus I rubbed my eyes so much I busted a blood vessel and had blood in my eye (very lovely) at the time and sunglasses in doors helped.

I like Featherlash by l'oreal. Monica suggested it and I really like it. I use the waterproof version and I don't need a eye make up remover to take it off.

Hope your eyes get better soon!

I know about the powerpoint projector: yesterday class was a torture! And of course the background of most of the slides was white!

I thought about sunglasses, but people would think I am crazy! Yesterday I had the lights in my office off, and they were asking if there was anything wrong with the lightbulbs! If it wasn't painful, I'd say it's funny!

Took a day off today, thoug: I can't stand the laser light I have to work with, and I don't really like pppl seeing me with eyeglasses-no makeup !

Grrr

I feel your pain...I had a stye last weekend and had to wear glasses the whole time. I guess the "change your mascara every 3 months" advice really should be stictly adhered to!
