kokotoo Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 longer, darker and thicker eyelashesLatisse Latisse is a prescription drug currently promoted by spokesmodel Brooke Shields that is applied to the base of eyelashes to generate longer lashes. Latisse keeps hairs in their growth phase, producing longer, darker and thicker eyelashes. Latisse contains bimatoprost, the same active ingredient that is in the glaucoma medication Lumigan. Average cost of Latisse is $130. Latisse eyelash lengthening is not permanent. Possible side-effects include discoloration of the eye or eyelid. Has anyone used Latisse?

~ BunnyliciouS ~ Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I've always interested to try eyelash grown products but, the fact that eyelashes fall out every 1 to 1.5 months due to the growth cycle and are naturally replaced with the growth of a new eyelash, .... wasting $100+ every time doesnt seem worth it.

Guest jnie Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Have not tried Latisse but I've used Rapidlash. Its a very similar product but does not require a prescription and cost half the price of Latisse. I've tried quite a few eyelash serum/conditioners and Rapidlash proves to provide me with very good results. I work in cosmetics and we constantly sell Rapidlash like crazy.

xiahdreams Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I've seen the commercials for this, but wasting 130 bucks on a part of your face that some people don't even care about, or don't even bother to look at? no thanks. I'll look this up again if all of my eyelashes fall out. -.-'' plus, that olive oil method seems to work find for most people, and it's a hell of a lot cheaper.

Guest *.yl=- Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 wow! i would try it but for the price. no. is it actually worth it? in the end, i wouldnt purchase it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest soompier1 Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 I personally wouldn't use it since I am very satisfied with my eyelash length/thickness atm, however I can definitely tell you it is effective. So effective though, that you will not only have hairy eyes but hairy cheeks from the serum fall out. My classmate has fine asian lashes that are both short and thin and she used it and her lashes grew signficantly longer and thicker, but then she said she sprouted fuzzes on her cheeks area right below her eyes. It was honestly pretty nasty, lashes were not worth it because I don't know what she's going to do about her cheeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dorkhead Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 Im planning to buy it when ive finished my exams this week But not the 130 bucks version but the 10 bucks version It has exactly the same ingredients and also works the same...same bottle blablabla But its called Careprost, it seems its the generic name of Latisse I saw on the internet and reviews that it has the same results, but way cheaper :crosses fingers: hope it works. Keep in mind it takes about 4 weeks before you see anything and 6 week to see clear results when you stop. the long lashes will fall out like a normal lash cycle and your normal lenght lashes will grow like usual. Often people use those eyeliner brushes, not the one you get with the product because some experience hair grow on other places because of the liquid drip when using too much.

Guest TaroStrawberryCream Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 used this. http://web2.sasa.com/SasaWeb/eng/product/v...no=102992002001 made eyelashes thicker and a bit longer...and gave more lashes. but i think thickness added making it harder to curl? and like layers of eyelashes...like not one line of lashes but some above. luckily. only hair around eyelash areas. can also be used for eyebrows. warning: stings if gets into eyes - -; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peppermintsugar Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 My lashes seem thicker just from taking my biotin for a little over a month now. My lashes were already super long, but biotin promotes healthy hair everywhere, and healthy hair promotes growth. . .my hair on my head, eyebrows, arms, legs, all grows faster now, I figure it does for my eyelashes as well.

Guest <3StrawberryPocky<3 Posted March 1, 2010 Share Posted March 1, 2010 You could always try olive oil instead. I can't guarantee it's as affect as Latisse seeing how I've never used Latisse, but many people including me can say olive oil helped our eyelashes grow tremendously. I used to have literally nothing, and now they're much thicker and longer. People have actually commented on how I finally have eyelashes! Lol.

I use a generic brand too, it's basically the same thing, as it's the birmaprost that makes your lashes grow and it has the same % of that ingredient as latisse does.

Guest BB` Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Latisse darkens your lids temporary and your iris permanently. Also, I've read that months after stopping, your eyelashes would fall out completely. That was the reason that kept my from purchasing this product.

My mom was using it and her eyelashes grew significantly. So she bought one for me and I'm hesitant because of possibilities of having dark circles or eyelashes falling out. I don't knowwww~ offtopic: I came across your tumblr once in the past o.o LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest prokofiev Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 I have a theory about all these eyelash stimulating serums and such... for me, it's the actual procedure of applying it that makes your eyelashes grow, not the product itself. My eyelashes grew like crazy as soon as I started actually paying attention to them. XD Before I started curling/mascara-ing them, I had the typical Asian pointy-down stick straight virtually non-existent lashes - after I started 'stimulating' them, they... grew. O____O IDK, maybe I'm just weird, but I think that it's the motions of 'stimulating' your lashes that gets them to grow. Haha. XD; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kinella Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 errr. when the commercial said 'side effects may include darkening of the eyelids that may be irreversible'....that freaked me out hahaha exactly! why would you do such a thing to your own body and to such a delicate part of it just for the sake of having your lashes 3 or 4 mm longer! use a nice mascara or fake lashes and leave that crazy chemical stuff far from your eyes, girls!

Guest fruiteechi Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 Why people would use this product completely puzzles me. I mean, I don't care if people use it cuz they want long lashes but did you know that one of the side effect of this medication is permanent blindness? Are you willing to go blind just for some stupid lashes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
