Lash serum?

5 replies

I fancy trying out a lash serum to make my lashes longer and fuller, ideally I want them to look so nice I don’t need mascara! I don’t want falsies or similar.

Am I completely deluded? Is there a product out there that actually works and might work on my eyebrows too?! I do wear very minimal natural make up, just mac face and body, but of blusher and a neutral gloss normally.

Any recommendations?

I use Lilash. Have done for years. It hasnt made my eyelashes as long as some of the claims, but I have definitely noticed a significant difference (so much so that I've kept buying even though it's quite pricey) and a lot of people comment on them 😊 theres apparantly one in the US called latisse or something like that that has an ingredient in it used to treat glaucoma where a side effect was long lashes. I have heard that if you have green or blue eyes there is something in that one that can alter the pigment to brown so I would avoid if I were you! I have been using Lilash for at least 3 years, no side effects, I have blue eyes and no change there and I also wear contact lenses and have sensitive dry eyes and no issues there either!

I just want to point out that it’s best to be careful when trying several lash serums. I heard some stories recently of people’s eyes getting affected by them, so far as even a change in their eyecolor Confused

I also use Lilash. Just repurchased by third bottle. The last one I bought was the three month one and it's lasted me since last November so even though it's expensive it will last longer than they say. Have also had comments on my eyelashes.

Thanks all, I’ll have a google.

I admit though I didn’t realise it was a side effect of an actual medical thing. That worries me a tad.

I use Rapidlash but a word of caution, I'm dark haired and I found that after a while the area around my eyes became darker/more pigmented. It also encourages all hair growth, even the fine downy hairs on your face.

I no longer use it daily and the unwanted effects have calmed down a bit. Does work though - my lashes have improved hugely.
