She revealed how the allergic reaction caused both of her eyes to swell, with one complete unable to open.

The beauty enthusiast who was forced to go to hospital to treat the condition, urged others to get a patch test to avoid a similar fate, in a post captioned,' my journey so far currently eight days since my eyebrow lamination'.
