Here are some photos from today. I'll try to load one from October 2016 for comparison.

Three and a half months of royal lashes. I can see some growth, which is nice, but definitely not a significant change. Lashes are a bit longer, definitely not more curled. If I use an eyelash curler, they look ok. Didn't turn my blue eyes brown, btw. I gotta say, the young lady who said that if you get it in your eye, you'll get hairs in your eyes, you crack me up! If that were true, there would be a lot of glaucoma patients with hairy eyeballs, lol! This will be my last royal lashes post. I'll be getting eyelid surgery soon, which will make it hard to tell what eyelash improvements are from. Maybe in several months I'll try careprost to see if it's any better. Thanks for reading, and sharing your input!

I tried both Royal and Careprost. I had a bad reaction to Royal. My eyelashes were growing in nicely with Careprost and I had my upper lift. I lost about 25% of them (trauma maybe?). But it is a lot of maintenence to do nightly in my opinion.

I've been using Careprost and/or Royal for a couple years now, and I find that applying every 3 days or so is just as effective.

Hi jax, I had blephs as well, so I'm wondering if this is worth the trouble. I can actually see my eyelashes now, so a curler and mascara do wonders! I may try a lash enhancer in the future, but it likely will not be royal lashes.

Latisse for $60?...
suitsmefineDecember 19, 2016
Just saw a special from a local ps office: two bottles of Latisse for $120. That's still twice as much as the generic. What do you think here in the RS community? Is it worth it, Why or why not? Thank you.

I think I got a 2 year's supply for less than that from India. There again I use Careprost but it's still the same thing.

I think there is SOME improvement but my mom in her 80s with virtually no lashes used latisse and it was amazing - really dramatically worked. So not sure the generic works as really not a "wow".

At this point, I've used both Latisse and generic (careprost and Royal Lashes). For me, there's no difference in effectiveness at all. The only reason I used Latisse twice is because I won them as door prizes at an event. I wouldn't spend more than the $25. the generic costs. The ingredients are the same.
