WORTH IT$30
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.

ORIGINAL POST
I ordered name brand Latisse at the beginning of...
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!

Royal Cosmetics is where I got the Careprost (off brand Latisse, much cheaper, and they sent a freebie!)...Latisse MD is where I got the actual Latisse. They both work exactly the same.

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered a 2 bottle pack of the Royal Lashes (exact same as Carepost, but apparently less irritating according to Royal Cosmetics) for 44.95. I'm so excited!! Last time I purchased Latisse, about 1 year ago, it was close to $150.

Yay! Hopefully it will start working for you in a few weeks. I started seeing significant results very fast! I was surprised.

So u feel like this brand works as well as latisse? Your lashes are freakin crazy long. I used to use it for years but mine never got that long. What do u apply it with? Do u use every nite?

I drop one drop into the top of the lid and use an eye liner brush and get as close in my lashes line as possible and I use it every night.

I agree! I have been using Latisse for more than a year. I found once I had the eyelash length I wanted, I could use it 2-3 times per week and maintain the results. With Latisse no side effects mentioned in other posts. I'm blind, blue eyed.

Have you tried Careprost or Royal Lashes? Latisse is too expensive to buy mostly for me, but once I made the switch, I have started doing my brows as well.

I don't know. Buying a prescription medication without needing a prescription - for something that goes on your eyes....that's iffy at best and dangerous at worst. You only have one pair of eyes. I realize it's expensive but at least I know the Rx I'm getting is safe.

They come in the original packaging and the Latisse came with the brushes. The bottles are impossible to be tampered with and it lists the ingredients on the sides. If you look at Latisse original bottles, prescription you would pick up from a pharmacy, it is the same bottles. They are sealed when you get them, same with the Careprost.

The bottles are sealed like a new water bottle, that is the best way to describe them.

I've been using Careprost for 2 years and am very happy with the results. My brown eyes turned dark gray, but I don't really care about the color. According to my optometrist, my vision is better than it was when I started on Latisse. I love it. When I found an online pharmacy, I started ordering 6 bottles at a time. I started using a bit more because I had so much, but using more makes the lashes thin out again. Now I'm back to using the tiniest amount, and my lashes and brows are darker and thicker again. I love the product!
