I can't tolerate any of the eyedrops with preservatives. I use two
types of a brand called 'Blink' which comes in packs of 20 individual
droppers, and while you may not have that brand where you are located,
I can tell you what the ingredients are. One type contains PVA 1.4%,
EDTA 0.01%. The other contains sodium hyaluronate (not sure if that's
correct spelling as the packet's not nearby).
Eye makeup wise, generally I have found Clinique shadows OK but not
High Impact (too glittery). I liked their smugesicle eye sticks.
Another eye shadow I find good is Revlon Colorstay powder shadow in
the tubes in two colours, a little shinier, but it does stay put until
I take it off. Eye liner wise, I've found nothing that seems that
great but I'm currently using a cheap Maybelline khol pencil, only on
the outside of the lashes, not the inner part. Mascaras I rarely
bother with, but I find the Clinique and the very cheap Rimmel
mascaras surprisingly passable too - I'm currently using Rimmel Extra
Super Lash. I've tried different mascaras in both brands in
non-waterproof types only.
