Excited - at first. Had to discontinue due to darkened eyelids.

The discoloration has faded and the 2nd product I used was LiLash - no results. I did lose the Latisse lashes, but my natural lashes are a big thicker and healthier just from not wearing false strip lashes and using as much mascara. The 3rd product I am currently using is Talika Lipocil eyelash gel. The saga continues.......

At 4 months, I treated myself to a make-up lesson with a reputable professional artist who has worked in the movie industry. I had already discontinued daily use of Latisse, but her comment was "Ya gotta lose that stuff." Without makeup, the entire orbital eye area is dark. I have no idea how long it will take to get better! (Anyone else have this experience?) Again, I did nothing different/wrong in application. Her clients have had great results with LiLash, and I have already ordered it.

I am now past the 3 month mark with using Latisse faithfully. My lashes are a lot longer, but not as full as I thought they would be, and a few of them are stick straight - cannot be curled or mascara'd in any way to "join" the others. I am also having to use a Ton of concealer and eyeshadow to cover the darkening of my entire eyelid (a greyish purple). And no, I have not applied the product anywhere but the lash line with a very fine art brush, - making sure it is dry before going to bed. I'm not sure if this will be a permanent solution for me and may consider trying SmartLash.
