Careprost for Lashes and Brows - British Columbia, BC

I have always felt like my brows weren't thick...

WORTH IT$40
I have always felt like my brows weren't thick enough or dark enough. They bad sparse area, bald spots, and just weren't very flattering. I always, always fill them in, even if I'm just running to the store to grab one thing. I decided to try Latisse, but when I found out you could get Careprost for cheaper and still have the same effect, I decided to go for that. I got mine online and it was 30 dollars plus $10 shipping to Canada (not bad considering shipping here is always a lot!).
I started using it on July 29th. Even though I know you aren't supposed to, I've been putting it on my top AND lower lash line (I will take all the blame if something goes wrong haha) and my brows. I originally got it just for brows, but decided to see how it worked for lashes as well.
The only side effects I've had were that my eyes felt a bit scratchy after I applied it. Other than that, everything seems fine. I have been taking pictures every few days but so far I haven't seen results. I should take a bit longer for that, I think.

Wow your natural lashes are long and lovely! After a while you will see your eyebrows darker and lashes too. The latisse brochure I read says to use it continuously for 4 months and then taper. I noticed and got comments on my brows and lashes between 4-6 weeks. I think you will have really nice results in several months. Yes 2 weeks is too early to notice a big difference

Happy to read this can be bought online and shipped to Canada. I'm also in British Columbia, in the Vancouver area, and bought Latisse from my plastic surgeon's office at $215 (including sales tax) for the larger size bottle. Even with the USD/CAD exchange rate so unfavourable just now, it still has to be cheaper to buy this other brand online. Thanks for the tip!

Lashes longer, brows haven't changed
rosewallacegoldalineSeptember 14, 2014
It's been about a month and a half since I started using Careprost and it was only about a week ago that I started to notice a difference in my lashes' length. My lower lashes are noticeably longer and the top ones are also increasing quite a bit. However, the increase in length isn't uniform. Only certain areas of my lashes are longer, while other areas are still shorter. For example, I have this patch on my right lower lash line where the lashes are only about a milimetre long, but the rest of them are much longer, and it looks a bit weird.
My brows have not changed in any noticeable way, but I've heard that takes longer, so I'm not too worried about it.

IT took me about 14 weeks with Latisee ( I changed to Careprost and see not difference in effectiveness). My lashes got so long that they hit my sunglasses so now I use it about every 3 days. And I also only use one drop on the brush for both upper lid lashes. DO NOT PUT ON LOWER lashes! They will get some of the residual from upper lashes when you blink. I have just started trying it on my brows in the past few months and the hairs are longer, but not yet filling in. Patience is needed.

Totally worth it!

It's been about three months since I started using careprost and it's completely worth it. My lashes look like I'm wearing mascara even when I have no makeup on! Tons of people have been asking me if I have lash extensions. My brows are slightly thicker but not noticeably. However, my lashes are so nice that I'm going to keep using Careprost forever!

Hey everyone- buying Careprost or Latisse without a prescription/online is illegal and therefore we do not permit discussion on where to get it on our site- as per our Community Guidelines.

Is it working for the lower lashes as well? Any side effects that you have noticed? I'm going to do more research and give it a try!
You are smart to start taking pics every couple weeks because the results are subtle at first since you see yourself every day. It took me a couple months to really see results. Keep us posted!
