Today, the lip balms I ordered online finally arrived in the mail. After trying one out, my lips had an allergic reaction. It's a 4-pack. FML

70% off something you didn't need, a stampede and a cart that crashes at checkout. Thanks, Black Friday.
Today, I got my first kiss. He had an allergic reaction to my chapstick, and broke out in hives. FML
Today, I was eating out with my partner, and we decided to use the new lube we bought. Things went great until I later realized I was allergic to it and a large red rash spread all across my mouth and chin. It won't go away. FML
Today, I used a glue stick instead of my Carmex lip balm. FML
Today, someone held me down and rubbed ChapStick all over my lips. I have a condition which requires medicinal balm, otherwise my lips crack and bleed, and ChapStick makes it worse. I’m still waiting on the balm to arrive. FML
Today, I got a new skin cream for my acne. I tested it on a small patch of skin just to make sure I wasn't allergic. I was, and the reaction didn't stay on that small patch of skin. My left arm is now almost entirely covered in a horrible rash. FML
Today, I used sunscreen on my face. Said sunscreen was expired and I had an allergic reaction. FML
Today, I learned the hard way that I'm allergic to a particular brand of tampon. FML
Today, I went to the store and bought some cream to help with a sunburn I'd gotten a few days ago. What's worse than having red, peeling, and painful skin? An allergic reaction on top of it. FML
Today, I finally decided to try an alternative to peanut butter, since I found out I was allergic a while back. Two hours later I had to be sent home because the allegedly allergen-free SunButter caused my lips and throat to swell and patches of rashes to form all over my body. FML
Today, I had an allergic reaction to my deodorant. My armpits wouldn't stop itching, and by the time my shift was over, they were raw and bloody. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

put the extra three in someone's stocking as a stocking stuffer or just give them to friends or family. I can't imagine you paid an incredible amount of money for this

I don't really see why this was published, but OK. Buy different chapstick, big deal. Despite it being a four four pack, I doubt it made much of an impact on your wallet. Some FMLs, I swear...

I said the same thing, but i think i understand what happened. You see, when op said her lips swelled up, she meant that her lips had swelled into giant 200 pound lips, and now she needs a wheelbarrel wherever she gos. And special supports to keep her mouth open when she eats. Thats fml worthy.

Wasted money and painful lips? I know I'd be upset.

Shouldn't she try the other three to make sure she wasn't just allergic to the first one only?

It sucks, no doubt about it. FML posts are just supposed to be funny or extremely unfortunate and out of the ordinary, and this post is neither. People get allergic reactions to random things all the time. Not everyone wants to read about it.

Just because its a four pack doesn't mean you have to use all four

Coconut oil. Is what you might be allergic to. It's in a lot of high end lip balms and I'm allergic to it too.
