WORTH IT$230

I have been using Latisse for 6 weeks. I paid $230 for three months (a buy two, get one free promo). If this is the result after 6 weeks, I cannot imagine what my lashes will look like in 4 months. I did a lot of research and took the advise of some and purchased a high quality, thin eye liner brush that I only use for this. Because of this I have been using the same bottle for the past 6 weeks. I use it in the morning - the directions say night but I found I wasn't remembering to use it every night at first and read up on it a bit and some doctors recommend the morning too for the very reason I use in the am.

When I was younger -- in my 40's - I had longer thicker lashes and I did notice that they had become shorter. What really motivated me though to use it was that I picked up my younger sister to go out of town after not seeing her for over a month - her lashes were so long it was almost comical. I asked her if she was wearing fake lashed and she told me that she uses Latisse. I saw her at the end of the day when typically some of your mascara has come off and they looked like that! I was sold.

I use it on the top and bottom lashes and when I'm done I run the brush over my eyebrows since they were getting a bit sparse. I read recently that they are looking into getting it approved for eyebrows too so I guess I am ahead of the game. I am getting now to the point where I have to be careful with my mascara because some of my lashes have grown long enough that they touch my eyebrows if I use too much mascara - not complaining. They are not as thick or dark as I've seen in the photos but that appears to come after you've used it for closer to 4 months.

Even if I didn't get anymore results than I have now - I am very happy with the product.

Hi Christine, 

Wow, you use it on the top and bottom and it sounds like you have no side effects which is great. Some of the doctors in our Q&A are leery of using it on the bottom because it could get in your eye, but if you have no problems that's awesome. We'd love to see pictures. 

Thanks, 

-Britt

I am still using the second bottle of Latisse so switching brushes has been cost effective. I have to be careful with the mascara I use or my lashes almost look ridiculous. I don't use anything that is supposed to lengthen the look because that is overkill to 100th degree. I'm attaching a photo. Well, I hope I am.

Hi christine! The picture is awesome! How often do u have to change the brush? N do u rinse it off after the application? Thanks!

I use a sort of pricy eye liner brush so I rinse it off daily and about once a week I wash it with soap and water the same way I do my regular makeup brushes. I am still using the same eye liner brush I started with.

Hi Christine,

Thanks!

I recently bought these brushes on amazon and they are great - Larenim Eyeliner Brush (Pack of 2) - they are nice and thin and the price is right too.

Thanks for the advice, Christine! I'm ordering it (them) now!

Your lashes don't look real! They are just remarkable, so dense and so long. I've always loved the look of dark, lush lashes. It's quite striking. Problem is, I hate globs of makeup and the "run" that can come from mascara. The thought that you can have this look out of the shower or upon waking....this seems almost too good to be true

I've just had a very bad incident with Botox which led to a paralyzed eye. Between wearing a patch on one eye and manipulating the other to apply drops, clean the "sleep" that now seems to accumulate etc, I am losing some of my eyelashes

I am thinking of giving this a try to undo some of the loss I've experienced this past month.

Thank you for the review

Ps..id love to see a photo with your eyes open as well
