Allergic to my lipgloss?

I bought a Bare Minerals advent calendar this year and have been wearing their Moxie lip gloss for the last 3 days, different colours each day. I haven't worn them much, put on once and then maybe reapplied once but no more then that. They always tingled when they went on (they are a plumping lip gloss) but today I've woken up with very sore lips and also the tip of my tongue. My lips are all swollen and peeling as well. I don't think I've eaten anything very different so I'm guessing it's the lipgloss. I've never had an allergic reaction like this to any make up (and I've always worn cheaper brands before) but I've seen that their active ingredient is peppermint oil.
Has anybody else had an allergic reaction to bare minerals? Is it worth using the lip gloss sparingly, or should I just chuck them all, or just the one I was wearing yesterday? They were expensive so I'm reluctant to chuck them in the bin Grin but obviously don't want to keep having a reaction!

Also, has anybody returned make up that they are allergic to? They probably don't have to but they do describe themselves as hypoallergenic so is it worth asking?
