Meet the 22-year old lady who can't live without eating make-up daily
Category: Bizarre & Odd News
This is on another level....22 year old Brittoni is addicted to eating makeup..Her favourite are metallic eyeshadow in light
brown, white and grey .Brittoni's unusual habit began when she was just
five years old and, intrigued by the colours in her mother's make-up
case, decided to taste it. Mailonline reports, She now spends upwards of
$200(N30,000) a week on cosmetics to eat.Instead of putting make-up on her face, she prefers to eat between 15 and 20 compacts a day...
'I cannot live without eating make-up.You can imagine it just coating
your insides with whatever colour you're eating. It's just like craving
your favourite candy bar.'Seeing all the colours made me want to taste
it.'Once I tasted it, I just could not stop eating make-up.
'My favourite type of eyeshadow to eat is usually the metallic colours..
'My favourite colours are grey, white and the light colour browns.
Light
colours usually taste a lot cleaner than darker colours.'I hide make-up
everywhere around my house, 'Under the couches, in the flower vases,
the freezer..
My hair is long so I like to use it to conceal the make-up I would like to bring. I keep my addiction to make-up hidden because I'd rather not go through the hassle of explaining
it to people. My mother doesn't know but if she knew, I'd never hear
the end of it and it would go on for hours and hours every day.
'When I come into the store, I have to taste to make sure I bought the
right ones,'I would just pour some on my hand, look around to make sure
no-one's walking down the aisle and I would just lick it. If it's not
the right kind and since nobody sees me lick it, I'll put it back. I
know that's kind of wrong but I don't want to get stuck with something I
don't eat or wear.
Diagnosed with heart trouble at the age of 12, possibly because of her unusual habit, Brittoni says she tries not to think about potential adverse effects.
