Latisse is Giving Me Gorgeous Lashes and Filling in Brows! - Ohio, OH
ORIGINAL POST
I ordered name brand Latisse at the beginning of...
WORTH IT$30
I ordered name brand Latisse at the beginning of June in 2016, so I have been using it for about 9 weeks. It says on most reviews that it takes around 12-16 weeks for results to show but I saw significant results in only 7 weeks, which was really exciting. My lashes continue to grow!
I initially bought name brand Latisse, which was $88 (pricey!) and it ran out in only a month. It was a 3mL bottle. I read some reviews on the Careprost, which is the generic of the Latisse, so I ordered that, and it was only about $30, and the company sent me a free bottle of Royal Lashes, which has Bimatoprost in it as well (the ingredient that makes you lashes grow). I have been using that, and it seems to be working well. I also am using it on my eye brows to fill in spots I have over plucked.
I put one drop in the lid of the bottle and use a thin eyeliner bottle and apply to my eyelids, as close to my lash line as possible without getting in my eyes. I do get it in my eyes sometimes, and it makes them a little irritated, itchy, I would compare it to getting a little makeup in your eye. The only side effect I have experienced is slight eye irritation and watering and blood shot eyes if I over use the product (there have been days I have used the product morning and night...not a great idea...I looked like I smoked pot, haha).
There are horror stories online-I do not believe them. I have not gotten any skin discoloration or eye discoloration. I have light blue eyes and light skin. This product has been wonderful! My boyfriend has given me many compliments, he even asked if I was wearing fake eyelashes!

My lashes are still growing strong! My mom complimented them last weekend! She said she had started using Latisse in the past but stopped (no reason, that's just how she works). My left eye lashes are significantly fuller than my right eyelashes, but I know they will even out in time. I still have not been using the product long enough to have achieved "full results". I love the product, I don't have any side effects from it, I use it most nights.

I started approx 30 days ago and I can already see some results. I'm excited to see what it will be like at end of 12-16 weeks! I hope as good as yours. I'm using Latisse, $120. I'm probably going to switch though and try the Careprost or Royal Lashes after I've got a good base to save money. Why not, if the "generics" do exact same thing?!

you achieved this with the latisse or the generic?..they are GORGE!!

Latisse first month then generic and Royal Lashes second and third month.

where is a safe place to buy this.......everything seems so janky with the payment prices
September 7, 2016
I've been using careprost for about 4 years now. So much cheaper than Latissse.
September 8, 2016
Royal Cosmetics and yet it is safe. It may cause a little irritation (itching, blood shot eyes at first) and it can cause your eye lids to discolor a bit but that didn't happen to me.

I get mine from All Day Chemist and have the whole time I've been using it. I've never had any issues with ordering/shipment/payment or with the product itself.

I've been using Carepost since 2010 and have maintained my optimal eye lash result. I started out with very short lashes, so even though me new double length is not the longest, I'm still thrilled. My eyelids got a bit darker, which makes it look like I always wear eye makeup, which is so cool. I have dark brown eyes so I can't tell they got darker or not! Within this year I started to put it on my eye brows ( they have been thinning out the half outer parts). And now they are no longer thin! Full eye brows.! I've been dabble a bit of it on my frontal hair on my head and really hope it will help with my hair regrowth also. I read somewhere that it actually works!

I have been using it on my brows but not consistent. It should work for your hair, it just will take a long time...and be expensive! Buy is bulk, it is much cheaper.

You might want to read up on a side-effect many have been getting from Latisse and Careprost: periorbital fat atrophy (fat loss.)

People will complain about anything. I've seen people say they have gotten side effects from Advil...I am not worried!
September 8, 2016
Hey, I'm just letting you know about it. It's not just "complaints." There's documented proof of the side-effects, including photos from physicians. When your eyes start to look sunken in, it makes you look older faster.

i agree with the previous post however i did use lattice for about 4 years and i had sunken in eyes..... i always thought it was just cause i was really thin..... now it makes me wonder was it from lattise? ill never n\know i guess.
September 9, 2016
It could be from aging or from being thin. Or from the Latisse, I suppose. While we age, our eyes get the "sunken in" look, so like you said...you will never know.
September 9, 2016
This happens naturally as women age, as well. The documented 'proof' women post on here seems silly to me, and there are risks to anything.

Not to digress, but I've suffered documented kidney damage from Advil. Royal lashes on the other hand, had no adverse effects other than irritating the skin a little now and then.
