WORTH IT$50

I've had short, straight eyelashes all my life & have always wished for fuller, longer ones. Two friends of mine became Latisse users a few years ago & swore by it, so I decided to give it a try a year ago. I ordered it online. At the time, I paid $50 for one bottle, but the site often runs 2-for-1 deals at lower prices.

I started out using it once nightly & started to see results w/in the first two weeks. My eyelashes got both longer & fuller & started curling naturally. After several months of nightly use, I started using it a lot every few days instead, sometimes going a full week w/o an application. The instructions claim that your lashes will return to their original state w/o consistent usage, so I wanted to test that - & I never saw a decrease in length or fullness, they only stayed at the same level w/o nightly use.

After a year's time, I'm still using the original bottle I'd ordered. One tip one of my friends gave me was to throw away the brushes they send w/ the bottle - I just use the same makeup brush to apply it nightly, & the brush is much finer so you can use less to more effect.

Since I started using it, a bunch of rival products that are less expensive have hit the market. I haven't switched to a different brand but may consider it in the future. I also never suffered from any side effects, like eye-color change, etc. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone who's interested in longer lashes!

worked for me too...any tips for not getting into your eyes so your eyes don't turn red? I also noticed little hairs under the bottom of my eyes.

Hi jolieqe - Glad to hear you've had good results too! I didn't have issues w/ red eyes, if you're referring to the whites of your eyes become red or irritated? You also mention "little hairs" under the bottom of your eyes - do you means separate from your bottom row of lashes? I read something in the Latisse instructions saying your bottom eyelashes might grow in thicker as well, since they suggest applying it at night before bedtime, so when your eyes are closed, there's the chance for the Latisse on your upper eyelid to transfer to your bottom lashes. But I always thought that was a benefit. :)

Yes, the whites of my eyes are red in the morning :( If some of the Latisse bleeds out, I get lil hairs on my cheeks LOL.

Hey! which website did you get the latisse from? And do you know if it was an Allergan product?

A friend also recommended trying Rapidlash, which doesn't require a prescription & is less expensive than Latisse. Amazon sells it for $30. Check it out!

How are they doing now?  Any updates to report?

Is this the before and after photo? And one bottle for a whole year? That doesn't seem right.
