It’s All in the Eyes-Allegra Beauty
My eyes were no longer red and glassy after taking Allegra… there was
NO hiding in this extreme close-up! The rims of my eyes also look less
swollen and puffy, though I sadly still have big puffy bags that allergies
aren’t the main cause of (thanks, baby B and little man!), but with a little
more rest as B grows, and continued Allegra use, I am sure those will be
gone soon.
I love the other beauty products, but you just can’t fix red, glassy eyes
with them- and clear, beautiful eyes are one of my biggest beauty must-
haves!

Do You Have Allergies? Need Some Relief? Have You Tried Allegra?I have been suffering with allergies all my
life. It started with dust and mold allergies,
and now it’s migrated to dogs, cats, rabbits,
and seasonal allergies (mainly in the
springtime). For anyone that has allergies
you know how it feels. Stuffy and runny
nose, itchy eyes and throat, swollen eyes,
headaches, non-stop sneezing: So you get
the picture. It’s not fun to feel like that. I have
been feeling poorly ever since the early
blooming of the flowers here in New England
and the pollen all around. I heard about
Allegra and that it works well, so I decided
to go search it out at my local CVS and see
how it works.

Sara Merritt, The Football Wife
Allergy Relief for Clear BeautyAllergies aren’t pretty. Dark circles, puffy eyes, and a
pinched forehead from sinus pressure doesn’t look so
friendly or feel good either. I needed a little pick me up
— something to make me feel and look good.
Without spending too much money {less than $25}, I
was on my way to feeling better with Allegra.

Heather Brummett, Living on Love and Cents
A Spring Makeover & Enjoying Time Outside (Bye Bye Allergies!)I wanted to put Allegra to a REAL test and spend some time
outdoors with my little man. But first I went and made my face
match how I felt. I fixed those terrible brows, put on a little
coverage and I was done. Just a little tltch to your face can
make you feel so much better about yourself! I spent several
minutes looking in the mirror in amazement at the red color in
my nose and eyes disappearing and the puffiness going down.
It was really working! I felt great!

Vanessa Nunley, More is More Mom
It’s Better to Look Good and Feel Good!Rather than self-prescribe, I decided to pay a visit to
a professional; the pharmacist. After explaining (and
complaining about) my symptoms, she recommended
Allegra #ClearBeauty. Sneezing? Check. Itchy throat?
Check. Runny Nose? Check. Watery Eyes? Check.
And, when using your CVS card in the month of May,
a 30 count pack of Allegra is just $17.99. YEAH! If I
am going to be feeling better, I should celebrate by
looking better too.
As my own harshest critic, I must admit that after I
started taking the Allegra, and tried on my new face,
I felt happy and refreshed (with just a little dash of
sparkle!).

Bri Radke, Eco Baby Mama Drama
Surviving AllergiesI have taken the same allergy medication for years now and I don’t
know if my body has just built up an immunity to it or if my allergies
have just intensified. However, I know one thing for sure. I can’t keep
living like this! I avoid going outside because I am miserable and I
never bother doing my hair or make-up. This is because the constant
rubbing of my eyes makes me look like I have raccoon eyes with
smeared make-up. Although my glasses are stylish and look great,
with my puffy sinus area the nose pads of my glasses leave deep
marks on my face. And wearing glasses all the time has become
uncomfortable. I have to make a change and try to get back to my
normal self. It is time to change allergy medications and get these
symptoms under control.I am making the switch to Allegra and since
CVS carries it at a great price (during the month of May a 30 count
box of Allegra is only $17.99 for CVS card holders!). I am heading
there to pick up a few beauty goodies to help me feel better and get
my mojo back! Before I get to the fun stuff, I am reluctantly going to
share my drab before picture with you….don’t scream in horror! You
can see how sunken in my eyes are and my uneven skin tone from
the rubbing of my face all day! Yuck!

Melissa Mitchell, Sippy Cup Mom
Go from Drab to Fab with Allegra!Living in St. Louis my whole life it seems
like everyone I know was always talking
about their allergies. I was thankful that I
never seemed to suffer from any sort of
allergies, even seasonal. But after I had
my son 4 years ago, it seems that I’ve
developed seasonal allergies and it’s hit me
hard. It’s no surprise that more people are
developing seasonal allergies, especially in
Saint Louis which was just named the 29th
“Most Challenging Place to Live with Spring
Allergies”. My husband and son suffer from
seasonal allergies also so our house is
always full of coughs and sneezes.
I was so excited to try all my new make-up
products and was over the moon when my
eyes didn’t start watering! Now, with just one
Allegra pill a day I can wear my eye makeup
and feel FAB instead of DRAB!

Katie Simpson, OC Mom’s Activity Guide
Quick and Easy Steps to Clear Beauty on a BudgetAnd the mystery was being solved. I have horrible food
allergies as well as environmental and pet allergies. I break
out in hives (that tend to look like acne), and have eczema
to go along with all the other million “normal” allergy
reactions. The doctor put me on a daily Allegra pill and my
skin has been light years better ever since. I work to avoid
as many of the things I am allergic to daily, but the Allegra
helps me combat the unexpected ones that pop up or
ones that I can’t control (like the cat and dog we cherish so
much). My acute onset of symptoms were from the healthy
eating kick I had started (and oats are in everything these
days) so my body had just reached a sensitivity point that
caused it to go crazy.

Cinny & Ingrid, Whirlwind of Surprises
Fighting Allergies to Become A Clear BeautyBefore living in New York, I had no allergies...I was healthy! After
I started living here, I discovered, NYC = Allergy Central. I still
remember a local telling me that “New York has one of the highest
pollen indexes and if you weren’t allergic before, you will be now.”
I now had a problem.
I was really surprised with the Allegra. I know the mechanics
behind the drugs but I wasn’t expecting it to work that well. I got
the extended release ones because I wanted to feel good all day.
I took it and felt like I could breath. I don’t think I ever felt so clear
before in the whole time I’ve been in New York. It also took care
of my sinus headache. I was wondering if it was a placebo effect
so I didn’t take it the next day. I became slightly congested again.
Then I took it for the next 2 days and was feeling pretty good, so
I’m convinced. It helps and may just be the allergy solution New
Yorkers need! Look at me! I look like myself again! You may even
ask, who’s that beauty? LOL, or am I just getting ahead of myself?
You were thinking about my gorgeous puppies, weren’t you?

Kathy Roller, Counting to Ten
5 Easy Steps to a Fresher Face This Allergy Season Take Allegra daily to get those allergies under control. You can’t control the 1.
issue without a little help. Once you take the Allegra, you will notice NO more
sneezing, NO more runny nose, and NO MORE watery eyes. All these will
TOTALLY help your new Spring time look.
Use a facial cleanser daily. know it’s routine to wash it in the shower, but 2.
your face needs extra love and attention. Not only are you removing excess
makeup left behind, but you’re also sure to remove any dirt and pollen that you
may have on your skin. You need a fresh palate to begin the Spring look!
Choose a tinted moisturizer. Physcians Formula will help keep my skin 3.
hydrated, plus has the ILLUSION of wearing foundation. Not only are all those
wonderful reasons for wearing a tinted moisturizer, but also this one I choose
has an SPF of 50! I’m safe from the sun!!!
Face powder to finish. Maybe I’m a little old fashioned, but I LOVE the way a 4.
big brush gathers the loose powder and seems to “set” my face. It just gives
your face a “finished” look.
Don’t forget the eyes. Add mascara. It doesn’t matter the brand or color. 5.
You don’t need to spend MORE time adding color to your eyes…some good
mascara opens those eyes and makes them stand out as one of your best
facial attributes! (ok, don’t forget to get your eyebrows under control while
you’re there).
That’s it….how simple is that??

Angela Williamson, Fab Find Foodie
Say Goodbye to Allergies with Allegra!Until I moved to Texas, I had no idea what it was like to suffer from
allergies. I remember the first time I noticed something strange.
My left eyelid was watery, and it literally washed the eyeshadow off
part of my eyelid. I thought it was a one time thing. Until the next
day when it happened again in the exact same spot! I was telling a
friend about it and he mentioned that it sounded like allergies. I just
laughed and responded, “I don’t have allergies!” And that’s when he
said, “Well I never had allergies either, until I got them.” Good point.
I went to the allergy section and noticed two things. First, Allegra
had a huge display of their product. Second, it was so popular that
it was almost completely sold out. I picked up a box of Allegra, then
headed over to the makeup to grab a few other items.

Melanie Roberts, 2 Boys, 1 Girl and a Crazy Mom
Kick Your Allergies to the CurbI finally made an appointment with a Doctor to see what I can
do to get a little relief from the watery eyes, the red eyes, the
red nose and oh that sneezing. I’m sure she had the answer for
me to get me back to a perfectly normal life…..
To my surprise she told me to take AllegraOTC so I looked at
her with a strange, kind of “You got to be kidding me” look and
told her that I had tried just about every product on the market
and something else must have been wrong with me. She told
me to take it for 10 days and if I am not any better to call her
back and we will perhaps do some testing, but she wanted
me to at least give AllegraOTC a try since I had never used it
before.

Stephanie Chan, Silly Pearl
Brighter Mornings with AllegraI am soooo not a morning person. Having seasonal allergies
does not help matters either…sniffling all night, waking up all
stuffy, and a runny nose all day. Add in contact lenses, and 3
years of sleep deprivation (that’s how long it took my girls to
really sleep through the night!), and I certainly don’t look awake
either! It’s hard to look and feel your best when you want to crawl
under the covers! When I have taken allergy medicines, they
have made me drowsy so I took it before bed. While that helps
me get some sleep, it does leave me kind of blah in the morning.
So I took this opportunity to try Allegra, which I found at CVS
Pharmacy. It says “non-drowsy” right on the front, and it was on
sale for $17.99 with my (free) CVS membership card. After a few
days of taking Allegra, I am waking up with a less stuffy nose
and I don’t have that groggy feeling when I wake up. But I also
got to try some cosmetics to perk myself up even more.

Brandi Jeter, Mama Knows It All
i feel a DifferenceGrowing up in North Carolina, home of the super pollen, amazingly I
never suffered from allergies. Even when I lived in the suburbs outside
of Philly, I remained allergy free. As soon as I moved into the city though,
everything changed. When the winter transitioned into spring, suddenly I’d
get horrible headaches and a scratchy throat. My eyes would itch and my
nose would run...yeah, not pretty.
I picked some Allegra up from CVS last Friday, and after only 5 days, I feel
a difference. My eyes don’t feel swollen and my nose isn’t dripping. This is
really good! I was even inspired to purchase a few beauty supplies while I
was in the drugstore to do a mini-makeover.

Lindsey Galvez, So Easy Being Green
Conquering My AllergiesI sincerely hope you’re not like me, but if you are,
you know all about my dreaded house guest –
Seasonal Allergies.
Living in east Tennessee is absolutely beautiful –
I wouldn’t trade it for anything {unless someone
wanted to pay to move our entire family to a house
on the beach somewhere nice and warm}. With
the beauty of the trees and mountains comes the
dreaded pollen and ragweed seasons, though.
When I was a child, I usually got sick near the
end of the school year in mid-May and right at the
beginning of the school year in late August. I never
wanted to take shots so I tried to control them with
medication. Although nothing ever really prevented
them, I did have help in controlling symptoms.
Mother’s Day was yesterday and after taking the
Allegra for 4 days, I was so happy that I could
actually put on my contacts again and get to feeling
a little bit more like myself…

Laura Howard, Frugal Family Tree
Springtime Makeover Using AllegraI have been taking Allegra for 5 days and am
impressed with the results. I went from puffy
itchy red eyes, sneezing runny nose, an itchy
throat and feeling so exhausted by dinner time
to feeling like I do not suffer from allergies.
The first day there were a few sneezes and a
bit of itchy eyes but nothing like my previous
problems. The second day I could go outside to
play in the yard and only sneezed 3 times the
whole day. By the 4th day I have not sneezed
all day! Today on the 5th day is Mother’s Day.
This is the first time in a few years that I have
felt great being outside for the day. I
feel clear headed with no sneezing or
itchy eyes and not drowsy like some
medications make you feel. I am so
happy I decided to get the relief I need by
using Allegra.Now I feel good enough to
put on some makeup and feel fabulously
beautiful.

Mariah Moon, Formula Mom
Flipping That Drab Feeling To a Fab Feeling with Allegra
After a few days, I can really feel a difference since I started using the
Allegra. I am still sneezing just a bit but nothing like before! I now sneeze
once or twice a day when I was sneezing at least 3 or 4 times in a row
and it felt like I was doing it every ten minutes! It wasn’t quite that bad
but people at work were asking me if I was sick, so there was a lot of
sneezing going on! I have definitely seen an improvement in the eye
area. My eyes are less puffy and they don’t itch anymore! I can rub them
and it doesn’t turn into the itchy burn of a few days ago! So while I’m glad
I had a coupon to save a few dollars on Allegra, I would probably buy it at
any price to help me get through the spring allergies!

Jennifer Curtis, Always in Wonder
Clear Beauty CampaignHey guys, so I will tell you right off that mornings around here
sometimes suck. And it’s not because of my kids or lack of
sleep, it’s because I wake up feeling awful and sick a lot. I
usually wake up with a stuffy nose, then 5 minutes later it’s
running like crazy. And I spend the first 30 minutes of my day
blowing my nose almost non-stop. And not long after that, I am
dealing with itchy and watery eyes. My dreaded mornings are
caused by my allergies. They plague me constantly during the
spring, summer, and fall. But this year I was way more than
willing to try something to help me combat them. I decided to
join up with the Allegra #ClearBeauty campaign.
I chose the 24 hour kind, and took it in the evening, thinking
that if it worked I would feel much better when I woke up. And
it really did work for me. I woke up the next morning without
feeling all stuffed up, didn’t blow my nose, and it wasn’t untill
later in the afternoon that I had my usual sore throat either. I
felt so much better not waking up and having to blow my nose
constantly.
And I know that when I feel better, I want to look better too.
I even got myself all done up, just because I could! I wanted
to try out all of my new cosmetics that I bought when I was at
CVS getting the Allegra.

Laura Franklin, Better in Bulk
Symptom-free Allergy Season with AllegraThis week, I was challenged to think of how Allegra played a part in
my beauty regimen, and I realized that it’s part was huge. When I am
suffering from allergies, my eyes are red and itchy, and even if I put eye
make-up on in the morning it will inevitably be rubbed off by lunch time.
I’ve tried allergy pills that work for a few hours, and others that last
for a full 24 hours, and I am happy to say that I am almost completely
symptom-free this season thanks to Allegra. I take one pill each morning
with breakfast, and I’m not itching and sneezing all day long. It’s a
miracle and I feel like a totally new person.

Tiffany Cruz, Fab Finds by November Girl
Look Fabulous and Beat Your Allergies with AllegraI’ve never really taken an allergy medicine before trying
Allegra. I normally use a neti pop to clear my sinus and when
my allergies are really bad I’ll take a couple of Tylenol. The
biggest reason I opted to not take allergy medication in the past
is because most allergy medicine tends to make me sleepy. I
can’t feel tired when taking care of my two very rambunctious
kids. I’ve got to make sure I’m on time for the daily carpools,
blogging, and keeping up with the chores I need to do. Allegra
didn’t give me that tired feeling. I felt good enough to go out and
even get my hair done.
I feel fabulous now. I bit my season allergies in the butt with
some help from Allegra. It’s amazing that Allegra, a little eye
makeup, concealer and lip gloss helped make me feel so
fabulous. And just in time for Mother’s Day.

Chrissy Taylor, The Taylor House
Feel and Look Good with Allegra I have seasonal allergies that are miserable! I wake
up in the mornings with dark circles under my eyes,
swollen eyelids, headaches, stuffy nose and a scratchy
throat. It isn’t fun and I definitely do NOT look very
good.
You do not need a prescription for Allegra as it is now
available over the counter. Allegra is a fast acting
medication that does NOT cause drowsiness. This
is very important for me because I do not want a
medication that makes me feel tired all day.
Allegra takes about an hour to work, which is enough
time to have some coffee, a shower and get my son
out the door to school. By then I am feeling better and
ready to get my day going in full gear. I felt good so
I wanted to look good. {Isn’t it funny how those two
things go together?}

Lori Pace, A Day in Motherhood
Allegra & CVS Help Me Feel Beautiful: Head to Toe!I am an allergy sufferer. In fact, I am still on steroids and an inhaler
from an allergy related infection that landed me in the Urgent Care
center on a Sunday! To prevent anything like that happening again –
and to stop my morning allergy attacks altogether – I headed to my
CVS to get an allergy medication that I KNOW works on me! I know
because I used to be subscribed Allegra by my doctor. And since that
same prescription strength formula can now be found on shelves, it is
time for me to start getting this under control.

Carrie Higgins, Making Lemonade Blog
I Have AllergiesI’ve always been sympathetic with those that have
them, my husband included. Tissue boxes dot our
countertops, and I’m quick with a “bless you!” when
someone sneezes. Yet, I refused to admit in my ripe
old age of thirty{something} that I, too, am becoming
one of the millions labeled “allergy sufferers.” One day
last month I couldn’t hold it back any longer and I knew
I had to do something because this seasonal “cold” I
got each spring was just not cool. I’m now a ‘proud’
(ugh) member of the Allergy Club.
More rested, glowy, and ready to have a Mother’s Day
to remember. On less than 3 hours of sleep, thanks to
two sick kiddos. Whew.
Clearly, Allegra is the not-so-obvious beauty secret.
