    Hey Ladyxenon, by being a makeup artist I've got a lot of companies that will send me free products to try out. Rapid lash being one of them. They def get an A+ for the packaging design, its undoubtably the way to go as far as being able to properly apply without waste. But as for seeing results, I never noticed any changes. I will say that I worked with another makeup artist who swears by it though. I'd given it a run using 2 tubes of the stuff & just wasn't impressed. Prolly cause I was already spoiled to the Latisse. About 6 months ago I had an actress sit in my chair (who I could immediately tell was using something on her lashes) & when I'd asked her about it, she claimed to be using the generic from India for about $6. She also told me she used it in the morning instead of at night. I am def willing to try anything once so I'm prolly gonna give it a try. The BEST way that I've found to tell wether your getting results or not is to measure your lashes by your eyelash curler. Before I started the Latisse my lashes barely went 1/2 way up the curler & after it kicked in, they were well passed the top of it!!! So trust me when I say it works! And maybe too good for that matter, I've noticed in people who have used it forever that they're lashes start to look like what I call "horse-hair lashes" because they get really long, thick, & straight & seem to grow against the natural curl instead of with it. I've also notice that they seem to grow outside of the natural lash line...which is prolly why it's not prescribed for usage on the bottom lashes. I can only imagine the pain it would cause to have lashes growing out of you water-line poking you in the eye! :) Needless to say, I do it on the bottoms anyway but am super careful using my own brush 2 apply it exactly where I want more lashes. Then, I fan dry them so that there's no time for the solution to run. Another trick is to use the lid to contain 1 drop of the solution, that way your can keepin dipping into it until you've completely used it all. One drops more than enough to do both upper & lower lashes & still have a little for your brows ;)

    Ya know, this stuff would probably work. From what I've gathered, it goes deep into your glands & shakes up 2 wake up the hair follicles that have been dormant. But I will say, I'm super impressed with all the before & after pics posted on this site about hair transplants, so I'd give that a try if Nioxin doesn't cut it..which btw does work too, I've used the drain trap & have seen celebrities that r hooked on it! ;) but yes we're on the same page as far as the company trying 2 cash in every way they can!!

    awesome idea. I should sell mine too! Ive been a pro makeup artist for almost 10 yrs now & let me just say..the brushes that it comes with are complete bs. Theyre obviously made this way on purpose. Think about it, they arent tapered off right to glide on anyones eyelid, no matter what your shape is. Then theres the material that is used…it absorbs the solution straight up to the top where the brush fibers meet the handle, making the consumer need to use more than just one drop. The other companies that put it in a mascara like tube have a way better concept as to what we'd like as far as application goes. Unfortunately I havent found anything that comes close to the amazing results of Lat…as for me personally, I use an eyeliner makeup brush & clean it with a mild shampoo between uses. *I also put a tiny bit in my bottom lashes & brows! :)
