Worked like a charm, a bit over priced... But if you don't use their applicators, and find something that works better for you ( I have my own little mini-brush I bought from Target) then you can stretch a one month supply longer. The product brought my lashes from non-existent to ridiculously long in about 16 weeks. I really only noticed a huge improvement after the full 4 months. But what an improvement it was!
I have on the exact same mascara in both pictures btw

Thanks for the tip about the brush. I have an appointment with my dermatologist and I'm super excited!! :D
Oh and Is your name hatemachine in reference to a NIN song?
And yes, HateMachine does come from the NIN song. My father started calling me that when I was younger. I was quite the grumpy teenager. :P
Either way, you're going to LOVE the change having super long lashes makes. It's outstanding how crazy gorgeous your eyes will look. Have fun!
pls disregard if you already have your answer - I have green eyes and my esthetician told me green / hazel eyes are more susceptible to darkening. if you have blue eyes, it shouldn't be a problem. also, this is a very rare side effect when using the medication on your eyelids (the ONE study i looked at for cosmetic use of bimatoprost had zero participants with iris hyperpigmentation) individuals with glaucoma put the drops in their eyes, and they report more frequent iris darkening. hope this helps to alleviate your concerns! I was pretty scared at first (and I still have my moments ;-)
I found a better photo!!!! Once again, same mascara!

Hello! It's me again. Just wanted to update and...
Also, nope, I did not use it during breast feeding. I'm not one of those people that are anti-drug during pregnancy (I took tylenol, xantax, claritin, pepcid AC, ect...) but this medication has no real data behind it.
On a related note, I got pregnant again and am about to have another baby. Knowing that one of the possible side effects is increased eye pressure, I stopped using it all together. Pregnancy in itself increases eye pressure so I made the decision to stop. I wasn't willing to risk having anything happen to my vision. I doubt it would do anything to a growing fetus, but it could have affected me in a negative way.
Sadly to say, little over one month after stopping my lashes just fell out. Not completely gone, but one day I looked in the mirror and all I had left were the same familiar old stubs. No more glorious, luxurious lashes. :( It made me eyes look so much more dull, and my face even fatter. I couldn't believe how much my face changed again once I lost the long lashes I'd gotten used too. So, I went out and bought some more latisse and it's sitting in my medicine cabinet awaiting the day I have this new baby and stop breastfeeding. I can't wait to start using it again!
Moral of the story, if you use it and you love it, you better plan on continuing it because in only a month, 16 weeks of daily use just disappears!
Wow your lashes look great!! But, I have to ask...had you just given birth in the first picture?! Dang, you look good!!
