Meet the US woman who is addicted to ingesting eye shadows

A young woman from Toledo, Ohio, who has been addicted to eating eye shadows since she was a toddler, has finally decided that she would be better off without her dangerous habit.

When Brittoni made an appearance on TLC's 'My Strange Addiction' she told viewers that she can imagine the make-up coating her insides, while comparing her addiction to the craving of a candy bar, Metro.co.uk reported.

Brittoni, 22, had asserted at the time that she enjoys consuming eye shadows, and loves the metallic grey, white and brown colours especially.

But, Brittoni has now vowed to give up her addiction after being warned by doctors that the arsenic, lead and nickel in the product could give her further heart problems, cancer, or even kill her.
