WORTH IT, but Be Careful in Application - Los Angeles, CA

WORTH IT$79

I love Latisse. I've been using it for 4 months. I have super long lashes which I thought I'd never see this lifetime. I never used the Latisse applicators and used my own super thin flat brush. For everynight the first 3 months, I used only 1 drop and dabbed a little on the top lash line, making sure I didn't get any in my eye or anywhere else (since it darkens the skin). I noticed around 3 months that my eye was getting a little more irritated than usual so I started using it every other night. Now I use it every other day since I noticed that at night, the solution would get in my eye (because I close my eyes to sleep). So I've decided to use a tiny bit in the morning when I get up and then I use my glasses for the next several hours. This is more convenient for me. I have started using it every 2-3 days. I know if I stop using it my lashes will all fall out. I love these lashes for now. I also read that when you get an eye exam, you have to tell the doctor that you're using Latisse Since it's an eye medication for glaucoma, I wonder if it changes the eye pressure in your eyeball.

Thanks for giving us the details of your routine. Its always so helpful to hear what others have found to work well.

I've read other reviews where people have also commented about using a different brush to apply the product rather than the one that comes with it. I'll be curious to see if Latisse changes the brush they are supplying since it seems many people don't find it to be a good shape/size.

I use the brushes for children's art. I can understand the need for sterile brushes but the edge is so thick your eyelid will surely darken.

I sold my brushes on ebay for $15!

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! :)

Mandy - if you have been using it for a year you don't ned to be applying it every day. I did my initial six weeks (everyday) then I went to twice a week for about two months. Now I apply just once a week and am maintaining the length. What's even better is that I am still on my first bottle and am only 3/4 thru. The key is to use a tiny brush - one that doesn't suck the solution out of the bottle. I use a tiny #000 artist's brush that cost me only about $3.

Just in the past couple of days I've noticed longer, darker lashes. I'm excited! I'm a natural blonde with skimpy lashes. Even with mascara I had hardly any. Yes I agree about the brushes - even my doctor said they were worthless. I am an artist and am using a tiny No. 1 sable and like you, wash it everyday. Hey if Latisse is this great, do you think I could rub it all over my husband's head??? :)

I wouldn't rub it over your husbands head. I think Rogain is better for that. Also, go to dermatologist and ask for prescription - there are few pills men only can take for hair growth. Something like propecia? ot sure the name, but for men there are options...
