*listens in* I recently purchased the Double curl eyelash curler from Sally's and it broke my lashes!

I started using RapidLash a few months ago. I was too nervous to use Latisse Or any of the other hardcore stuff for fear of the side effects. I was shocked to see it truly does work! Within a few weeks I noticed I had more lashes and they were getting super long. Kind of looks like I have individuals on. From what I understand (I am not an expert at all) RapidLash is more like a conditioner for your lashes which keeps them stronger so they don't fall out as quickly during your lashes natural growth cycle.
Beauty.com or even Amazon.com sells it a good price.

Also I cannot recommend enough a quality lash curler, I use the Chanel one. All curlers are not created equal and the difference is astounding. Most days I just use the curler and some clear mascara now that I have full and long lashes.

So anyone nervous about trying the medical grade lash growth formulas should def give RapidLash a try.

I have been using Latisse for almost three months now and have had no issues. Lashes are just starting to get really long to where I can notice them without wearing any mascara. However, it is so darn pricey!

I just started using Revitalash and my eyelids are red and irritated - one even has a red welt on it. It does not take a genius to determine I am evidently allergic to it. Has anyone else had a similar reaction? Thanks.

Lilash works for me as well.

I have used revitalash, lilash, castor oil and now Lumigan (generic version of Latisse). Revitalash took a while to show results and even then it wasn't very obvious. Cator oil I tried before revitalash and just could not bear the oily film on my lashes and some of it getting into my eyes, so I never really saw results as I stopped after a month. Lilash was the best product by far as I could see results within a month and have always had comments on whether I was wearing extensions or not. I have just started to use Lumigan aka Latisse and can't comment just yet as I don't feel it has been long enough (a month without using every night) and my lashes are falling, as a result of the lash cycle and change over of product (I hope!!)

^Yes, LiLash also worked much better for me than Revitalash (and equally as good as Latisse, but getting the prescription was kind of a pain).

BIGGER is better!
Has anyone tried Smartlash? Dermstore is having a sale. It seems to have good reviews.

I have been using Latisse and just finished the bottle. My dermatologist told me that there is more than 30 days use in the bottle - just use one brush per day (after you make sure you don't have any allergic reaction). the bottle lasted almost 50 days and my lashes look great!

I use RapidLash... Love it! I have been getting compliments non stop lately. People seem to think I am wearing individuals.

But would like to warn you, I used RapidLash for a year straight. Had long beautiful lashes but started moving to another state and gave up the routine and OMG my lashes fell out and became stubby. Mascara looked horrible and I felt awful. I thought maybe it was a phase and my lashes had to regulate back to normal. They didn't and I was miserable so I started the RapidLash routine again and now, months later, I am back to big bold lashes again.

So just beware that when you stop this product you will definitely see a difference.

I am into my second bottle of Lumigan (generic Latisse) and I am definitely seeing results. My lashes are long and slightly more defined without mascara, and I don't get any kind of skin irritation or discoloration of my eyelids. I only use it on my top lash line. I wished I could remember how this compares to my lashes with Lilash, I am not sure if they are of equal effect or one supersedes the other

I am a huge lover of Lumigan (Latisse) it thickens and lengthens my lashes, initially I applied it nightly for 8 weeks then 2-3 nights a week afterwards for maintenance.

One bottle last a couple of months but be careful when applying :)

It is one of my favorite beauty products

I sometimes take a break from lash growth products and my lashes would just go back to normal. They weren't any shorter, thinner, etc. than they were before I started using the products.

Going to start with castor oil I think.. Then maybe RapidLash. I'm a bit scared to use hard core product. Thanks for everybody's advices!!
