Worth It

Spent: $120 in Shreveport, LA

have been using latisse for 4.5 weeks. noticeable difference in lash thickness. my lashes are as thick as they were when i was a teenager. have always had rather long lashes, but as i have aged, they have thinned. i am now 45 years old. am taking pictures weekly, and will upload them after 16 weeks. am very pleased with the results.

Updated on Jul 18, 2009:

after 17 weeks of using latisse, not a day goes by that a complete stranger does not comment on my lashes. several people have asked me if they are real (makes you want to ask what is not real on them!).

Wow - BIG difference, especially with mascara. Your lashes look great!

How often do you use Latissee for maintenance after 17 weeks? Thanks, Jessica

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 22 Jul 2009

have gone to 3 days a week, jessica, but have seen a post by 1 user that says she is down to 1 day a week and that is working well.

Yow! I wouldn't even wear mascara if I had those!

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 22 Jul 2009

i wish i could go without mascara, but being a product of my region and generation (we southern girls of a certain age would never go out in public without our faces on!), i don't! lol

nipchick (114 posts) 23 Jul 2009

Suzi, that's terrible! Yes, I knew a Louisiana girl years back (in Israel) and she would rise very early in the morning before work, to apply a full face of panstick, mascara and lipstick. Thing was, she worked in the very poorly ventilated hotel kitchens! She was at meltdown point after an hour or so - but she simply refused to be seen without all the makeup. It was as if she wasn't so worried about the vanity aspect of it - but that it was about social acceptance. I don't think we have that so much in UK.

suzi your eyelashes are insane. I can't wait for mine to look like that (I hope). How soon after using Latisse did you notice a difference? Did you experience any side affects?

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 25 Jul 2009

andee, i started noticing a difference after 4 weeks, but there were times throughout the 16 week period where my lashes went through "stages". they would be really long one week, but not so thick, then really thick one week, but not so long, then for about 2 weeks, they were really wild and wavy--going every which way! you really have to give them the entire 16 weeks before they stabilize.

Wow Suzi your lashes are CRAZY LONG!I hope I will have the same results with lumigan. Are you using latisse or lumigan?Also in the picture it seems like some of your lashes are longer than the other,especially the side ones.Is that just a picture impression?

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 26 Jul 2009

i am using latisse. yes, some lashes are longer, but that is because all of your eyelashes are at different stages of growth. this is normal, and really makes them look natural. if they were all the same length, they would look very fake.

i have been using latisse for 5.5 weeks with hardly any results...and i still have bald spots...is this a sign that it won't work for me???? anyone have this problem but with more time it changed? thanks

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 29 Jul 2009

donzy--make sure you give it the entire 16 week course before you see if it works for you. my lashes got long, then thick (but not so long), then for about 2 weeks, they were wild and wavy. they finally stabilized after 16 weeks. you will still lose eyelashes even on latisse, but they start growing back immediately, rather than resting for a while.

Suzi thanks for the recent pictures. You look absolutely beautiful. I can see why people are complimenting you.

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 28 Jul 2009

thank you andee, for the nice compliment! it has been fun!

Ariana (23 posts) 29 Jul 2009

My LORD girl, your eyelashes are crazy! I'm just amazed by how much like a doll you look in the most recent pics. I AM JEALOUS, lol. Truly stunning, I'm so happy for you! I can't wait till I can start on my own eyelash growth process.

Hi Suzi - this is an AMZING result, wow. Thanks for the pictures. Did you put them on your lower lashes too? Those seemed to grow really long as well!

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 30 Jul 2009

yes KGB, i do put it on my lower lashes as well. i know this is off label, but it works fine with a fine eyeliner brush. i put a drop of latisse in the cap, dip the eyeliner brush in, and that 1 drop is enough to do both eyes, upper and lower lashes. just wash the brush and cap afterwards.

KGB (40 posts) 31 Jul 2009

Thank you. I'm excited to try it! I want to try it on my eyebrows, too.

Hi Suzi, I just started with Latisse and I notices that you have light eyes just like mine. Did you see any change in the color of your eye? Also, when you apply, did you feel any of the fluid going into your eye or did you apply it just above the eyelid base? I saw the video on the Latisse webpage and it seems like she lets the liquid get on the lashes and when I apply, I don't do that since I am afraid of loosing my green eyes. How did you apply it?

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 6 Aug 2009

i use a fine eyeliner brush, put 1 drop in the cap and apply it at the lashline. 1 drop is plenty for both eyes. i sometimes do feel the liquid get into my eyes, but have had no color change. the original glaucoma med was a stronger concentration, and the patients put the drops directly into the eye 2 x a day. if you close your eye tightly and use 1 finger to pull gently at the outer corner, then leave the eye closed for a few seconds, you won't get any in your eye.

nipchick (114 posts) 7 Aug 2009

Suzi, thanks for keeping us updated. It encourages me to go on, but I suspect I've peaked. I'm nearly 18 weeks along, and to be honest my lashes look the same as they did a month ago. BTW, I apply my Lumigan in just the way you describe, above!

CakeFace (1 post) 10 Aug 2009

WOW! I have been using Enormous Lash for over a year and my results weren't even close to yours. I have to try this asap! Can you please give me some info on Professional lash tinting? I am in New York City and I never heard of this.

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 10 Aug 2009

sure cakeface, an aesthetician can professionally tint your eyelashes just like your hair is colored. the eyelash tint develops much faster, however--in just 1 or 2 minutes it can be washed off. have discovered that you get the best results when you do NOT remove eye makeup first. just like your hair colors better if it is a little dirty, your eyelashes color better a little dirty as well.

Hi Suzi, what kidn of mascara do you use?

suzi in louisiana (18 posts) 13 Aug 2009

andee, i use L'oreal full definition voluminous on top lashes and covergirl volume exact on lower (i like the smaller brush for my lower lashes--i don't make as big a mess!).
