Errm...my face is leaking blue stuff?!

This sounds insane but over the last two weeks or so I've noticed bright blue marks on my pillow. The kind of colour of that Carex blue handwash. Isn't makeup as I only wear black, nor toothpaste/mouthwash and all my toothpaste is white. What the hell could it be Shock

Any ideas at all MN??

Do you have fairly new pillowcases?

Nope, they're old as the hills. Pillow is new but it all white inside and the pillow protector is clean so is face side not pillow side.

I'm trying desperately to work out if I've eaten anything new.

Frozen spinach?? That can't be it.

Any idea on this week's Lotto? Octopuses /octopi (?) are good at predictions!
Maybe try and predict your Christmas presents and if you are correct you can assume an octopus diagnosis won't be far away.

I predict.....TAT I HAVE NO ROOM FOR!

This colour btw!

Swap pillows with your DP to work out if it’s you or the pillow lol

YouCouldBeMe · 21/12/2018 21:46

We need to know!

Okay my phone is terrible so it looks no where near as vivid blue in this pic but see one blob in middle, one to the right and top left. Black stuff is mascara took make off off quite badly as was pissed when I got in but have had the same mascara and eyeliner for yonks and no blue til now.

Amount of hands still seems normal.

Eye drops

DrinkFeckArseGirls · 22/12/2018 14:29

I used to wonder why I had blue marks on my face that I could see through make up - brightening eye drops.

GiveMeAllTheGin8 · 22/12/2018 21:31

Could it be ink or something on your pjs?

halfwitpicker · 22/12/2018 21:33

We do require a photo

OP DD 11 wants to know what you've eaten? Xmas Grin

Night time shower when someone has switched your shower gel to blue paint and cos you are blind as a bat you didn't see the switch until you were covered in blue paint (true story in my case)

MulticolourMophead · 23/12/2018 19:38

It wouldn't surprise me if it was the black eye makeup. Black does sometimes have a blue base/undertones.

A long time ago I was a tech in a dye lab making samples of cloth to get colours right for bulk dyeing of fabrics. To make a black, we nearly always began with a very dark navy blue.

I was going to suggest bed bugs but apparently they leave black pen-like marks on bedding.

DishranawaywiththeSpoon · 23/12/2018 19:57

Do you use eye drops? Contact lenses? Mouthwash? Is it eye height is mouth height in your pillow?

It could be something your putting on your face reacting with laundry powder in your pillow and turning blue

Don't suppose you'd been drinking WKD had you? That once turned my sister blue.

Thisnamechanger · 24/12/2018 12:45

smurfy does that explain the username Shock are you blue to this day??

Congratulations you are an aristocrat who suffers from nighttime nose bleeds.

smurfy2015 · 24/12/2018 13:01

No, the switch was done by a friend (ex-friend for a couple of hours), I am literally blind as a bat as didn't have glasses on in shower so didn't notice until I was covered. Took about 4 showers to get it all off.

The username comes from the year I signed up to MN (2015) but I was part of a Guinness world record for the most Smurfs in one place at the same time, there was 1253 inc me who took part in 2008.

Participants wore white full-length trousers, a blue long-sleeved shirt or blue T-shirt, a white Smurf hat and all skin showing was painted blue.

Great fun getting blue paint off my ears and face afterwards.

TheRhythmessCarolMan · 24/12/2018 15:43

I think we need a pic, eh.

amusedbush · 24/12/2018 17:33

I wish I was an octopus. I’d need that many hands to get my to-do list cleared 😩

adeo1929 · 26/12/2018 21:18

Have you found the cause?

Skatersbeskating · 26/12/2018 21:23

Blue-Black eyelash tint?

JuniperBeer · 26/12/2018 21:30

I reckon it’s your make up breaking down into pigments!

Elledouble · 26/12/2018 21:37

OP, have you ever had an irritating novelty single under the name Eiffel 65?
