Metallic UFOs Have Landed in My Eye Shadow! No these are not friendly green Martians abducting my makeup. This alien brew of chemical dyes, metallic salts, and optical diffusers unleashes venom while abducting its prey. Women apply foreign chemical critters and wonder why their eyebrows fall out or their skin turns sallow. Well, it's the Invasion of the Hair Snatchers. These alien thugs damage hair follicles and rob us of our beautiful eyebrows. For years, I painted my eyebrows, not because I needed to, but I wanted to enhance them. Now I have no choice but to paint what meager brows that remain because the aliens preyed upon my vellus follicles. And these are the very follicles that produce stem cells for new skin. And so now, I've not only lost eyebrows, I've aged my skin as well. What's a poor girl to do? Just take it from me ladies, it's best to use as few color cosmetics as you can, especially when they have a list of alien ingredients that you can't even pronounce. ©2007 Idelle Musiek
