WHEN THIS LASH BOOSTING SERUM AND MASCARA CAME OUT I WAS TOTALLY EXCITED..I HAD ALREADY CHECKED INTO LATISSE AND FOUND OUT MY INSURANCE DID COVER IT BUT I HAD JUST PUT OFF GOING TO THE DR TO GET THE PRESCRIPTION. SO WHEN THIS HIT THE SHELVES I WAS PRETTY HAPPY.
HERE IS THE SERUM. IT HAS A UNIQUE CURVED APPLICATOR THAT PERSONALLY I FIND A LITTLE HARD TO USE.
AND HERE IS THE DUAL ENDED CONDITIONING MASCARA ..
HERE ARE MY THOUGHTS...
ON MAKEUPALLEY IT HAS A RATING OF 4.1 OUT OF 5 AND A 77 % REPURCHASE RATING..THERE WERE SOME COMPLAINTS THAT IT MADE LASHES FALL OUT BUT MANY SAID IT WORKED PRETTY WELL.
WHEN I GOT THIS PRODUCT I USED IT FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS STRAIGHT. I FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY BY COATING THE SERUM ON MY LASHES AND LASH LINE AS WELL AS PUTTING IT ON MY EYE BROWS AT TIMES. LIKE I SAID ABOVE, I FOUND THE APPLICATOR A LITTLE HARD TO USE. WHEN I APPLIED IT I THOUGHT IT WAS A LITTLE STICKY AND IT DID MAKE MY LASHES HARD AFTER IT DRIED.
I DID NOTICE MY LASHES LOOKING A LITTLE LONGER AND A LITTLE FULLER.. I HAVE PRETTY LONG FULL LASHES TO BEGIN WITH AND I ACTUALLY DID NOTICE A DIFFERENCE USING THIS. BTW.. I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I DID NOT EXPERIENCE ANY KIND OF SIDE EFFECTS WITH THIS. NO ITCHING, BURING OR REDNESS..NOTHING..
I ALSO USED THE MASCARA AS DIRECTED..I USED THE CONDITIONING SIDE FIRST AND THEN THE MASCARA. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST OK.. I HAVE OTHER MASCARAS I LIKE BETTER BUT I USED IT BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK BETTER WITH THE SERUM. BUT THEN I REALIZED THAT I COULD USE THE CONDITIONING SIDE AND THEN USE A MASCARA OF MY CHOICE AND THAT WORKED BETTER FOR ME.
AFTER THE 3 WEEKS HERE ARE MY LASHES..

I THINK THEY LOOK BETTER THAN WHEN I STARTED USING THIS PRODUCT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE TOOK A BEFORE PICTURE BUT I FORGOT! LOL..
WHAT BOTHERS ME ABOUT THIS PRODUCT AS WELL AS LATISSE IS THAT IF YOU STOP USING IT THEN YOUR LASHES WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL. WHO WANTS THAT? I DONT WANT TO HAVE TO USE THIS PRODUCT EVERY DAY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE TO KEEP MY LASHES FULL AND LONG. I GUESS FOR SOME PEOPLE IT WOULD BE WORTH IT BUT NOT SO MUCH FOR ME. THIS SERUM IS BASICALLY JUST A CONDITIONER. I STILL HAVE 1 FULL TUBE OF THE SERUM LEFT BECAUSE I ACTUALLY BOUGHT 2.. I WAS GOING TO SEND ONE FOR A GIFT BUT I NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. I WOULD SAY THIS IS OK.. NOT GREAT. AND SINCE I HAVE STOPPED USING IT I HAVE STARTED PUTTING A LITTLE HAIR CONDITIONER ON MY LASHES IN THE SHOWER FOR JUST A FEW SECONDS AFTER I WASH MY FACE AND I THINK THEY LOOK JUST AS GOOD NOW. WITH THE MASCARA I THINK ANY CONDITIONING TREATMENT FOR YOUR LASHES CANT BE BAD SO I AM MORE HAPPY WITH THE MASCARA THAN I AM WITH THE SERUM.
BUT BEWARE...WHEN YOU STOP USING THIS YOUR LASHES WILL GO BACK TO NORMAL.
SORRY..I AM SURE MANY OF YOU WERE THINKING I WOULD GIVE THIS GREAT REVIEWS BUT ANYTHING I HAVE TO USE FOREVER TO KEEP THE RESULT IS NOT SO GOOD IN MY BOOK!

Bummer that lashes go back to normal after stopping use! I agree with you on the mascara. I like the primer but the mascara, not so much. I like to use it under my regular L'oreal Voluminous.
ReplyDeleteI didnt want to publish this because I knew how well you liked it..I dont understand why they cant figure out a formula that will allow you to keep using the results after using it..However, it could be a marketing ploy to get us to keep buying it. YOU NEVER KNOW! I havent really watched to see if my lashes are going back to the same or not. But as long as you like it is all that matters!
