long eyelashes

Why is it that guy’s always seem to be admired for their long, voluminous eyelashes? Whenever I see a man peering out from under his envy-inducing black eyelashes, part of me that morphs into a jealous green monster aka the incredible hulk. We women curl, prime, coat, attach and obsess over our eyelashes with the hope of looking like a doe eyed cherub. This neurosis has launched a billion dollar mascara and eye lash extension industry and finally, doctors have gotten involved to assist us in fulfilling our eye lash dreams.

Latisse was originally created to aid people suffering from glaucoma and severe eye pressure but was recently approved by the FDA to enhance your eyelashes! Little known fact: Latisse created by Allergan who are also the makers of that life saving wonderdrug Botox. Full results when using Latisse usually arrive after 12-16 weeks of using the drug…and you need to use this topical serum every night!

To get Latisse, you need to go see your dermatologist for a prescription and the average cost for the miracle stuff is $130.

Other non-prescription companies have come out with eye lash enhancing serums..and they’ll cost you about the same amount of money.

Peter Thomas Roth sells Lashes to Die For at Sephora for $125.

Tarte also makes an eye lash enhancer called MultiplEYE also sold at Sephora for $65.

Which ever miracle serum you decide to go with…remember to read the directions carefully and talk to you eyelashes daily. ;) Positive reinforcement helps plants grow…so you may as well try it on your eyelashes!

  1. this stuff scares me, not sure I would risk turning my green eyes brown for longer lashes…I’ll stick with my Ardell $2.99 falsies for now but I have to admit I am curious if it could regrow an anorexic brow…
