A Case Of Being Hiao (Gatal)

I knew that I was going to pay for this. But I still went ahead and did it anyway.

I developed an allergy for “M” brand lipstick a few years ago. Using this lipstick made the outlines of my lips red and sensitive. Applying lip balm on my lips feels like rubbing acid on them.

It’s a shame because I used to love M brand lipstick. They have so many colors to choose from and are so affordable.

Of course, knowing my fetish for lipstick and how I can wear a few colors a day, it was only recently that I managed to isolate the cause of this condition. At one time, I actually thought I had contracted herpies!

Well, today, because I couldn’t decide what color to wear, and seeing as my lips seem to be in good condition, I decided to take a chance and used the M brand that I had in my bag.

Bad move. I only wore it for half a day and now my lips are swollen >.<

That’s how bad the allergy is.

I’ve applied some ointment on them and the swelling seems to have gone down but it still stings every time I stretch or contract my lips.

Serves me right for being hiao >.<
